LONDON, April 28 (IP)-Sir Staford opening a House of Commons debate on India, predict- today that "nothing but good will result" from the British war abinet's proposal for Indian self- which he took to New Delhi, but which were rejected.

'Owing to events hi the Far Jastern theater of war (where the Jritish have been suffering re- accompanied by highly skilled though grossly misleading iropaganda from Axis sources, an itmosphere of defeatism and anti- British sentiment was showing it- elf in certain sections of Indian opinion," said Sir Stafford, Lord Privy Seal and Prime Minister Churchill's lieutenant in Commons. That a war cabinet member was chosen to submit the proposals, he said, "demonstrated the sincerity of our purpose." Cripps disclosed that he asked eading Indian groups to designate representatives to meet him because "I was most anxious there should be no suspicion whatever His Majesty's government was hand-picking those whom I saw. Referring to his talks in India with Louis Johnson, a representative of President Roosevelt, Cripps said "there was no question of any American intervention, but only the personal help of a very able American citizen." Believes Declaration Fair "I do not believe it possible to find in the existing circumstances a fairer solution of the problem than the government's declaration," he said. This declaration proposed that India be given dominion status after the war in return for increasec co-operation in the war effort Cripps said there was no disagreement upon the fundamental anc vital points of self-determination and self-government, but insteac differences arose on temporary government and the method which self-determination was to be exercised. The special envoy declared then as a.practically unanimous opin- among Indians that control of armed forces in.

India should emain under a British commander chief, a post now held by Gener- Sir Archibald P. Wavell. Cripps contended that Britain ould not, with safety, have come arther than she did in offering to ntrust non-military defense func- ons to an Indian minister. He expressed belief that the mi- oritles, "who contain some of the inest fighting elements in India," Iso would have opposed a further ransfer of defense power from he British. "I felt no regrets at the deci- taken by the government," he ontinued.

"We've done all we ould hi an admittedly difficult sit- ation. For the time being lere is nothing further we can do. "We must be patient and open- minded, willing to consider any roposals upon which Indian lead- rs can agree, but we must con- entrate upon our duty and do our for the defense of India," PAT-N-MAC RESTAURANT IS SOLD BY McKEIGHAN George McKeighan, proprietor the Pat-N-Mac restaurant on West Maumee Street for the last fivi years announced today that he hai sold his business to his father, G.

Mr. Peirsol explained that the drive will be conducted on a policy by volunteer workers. Each resident will be asked sign a pledge setting as a goal the amount of money which he will invest in war savings during the coming year.

The pledges when signed do not constitute an order form nor are they legal contracts. Instead, they constitute a moral obligation to purchase savings bonds and stamps according to a regular plan. Through the nationwide campaign, it is hoped that the sale of 10 billion dollars' worth of war savings stamps and bonds can be promoted during the next year. 'And that's just as much of a necessary job as is being done by those fellows who are fighting for your safety and mine in the front line trenches," Mr. Peirsol stated.

"It will be a campaign to make people realize that they are a vital part of this country and that this is everyone's war. It's an opportunity for us on the home front to be of real service." The speaker stated that several cities in the state will conduct the campaign through systems of air raid wardens which already have been organized. With each warden assigned to a few houses, the work is divided up without being a heavy burden on any one person.

Full Dress Battle Looms On Proposed Ceiling WASHINGTON, April 28 'resident Roosevelt's proposal that net individual incomes be limited $25,000 a year during the war encountered a sharp division of ipinion today among members of ongressional committees handling ax legislation. While many were reluctant to discuss the matter publicly, there were enough expressions of dissent make it appear likely that a full dress battle might develop. Two highly-placed members of he House Ways and Means committee predicted privately that the committee would reject the propo- al for a "blanket clause" to limit business profits to a fixed sum and keep individual salaries down to a $25,000 maximum by taxation.

On the Senate finance commit- Senator Taft (R-O) declared object strongly to the principle of a flat limit on all individual in-, comes." "Why he asked in a statement. "Why not $10,000. Why not $2,500 if we accept the principle of giving a man only what he needs to live on. A literal compliance with the President's plan would disrupt the business organization of the United States, particularly the smaller manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, cripple many of our great private charitable and educational institutions and commun- ty chests, and bring great distress 'o many older individuals living on their life savings invested in stocks." Senator Byrd (D-Va), another committee member, said on the other hand that he favored -legislation to fix a "reasonable salary limit" although he was not. prepared to say that $25,000 was necessarily the correct limit.
