Or Unity To Internal

Attlee, Mountbatten Present Plan to Speed

Independence; Nehru Accepts, Jinnah Hedges LONDON, June 3 (U, P.).~Great Britain proposed today to ‘make

India a British dominion this year.

A complicated plan to let India decide her own independent fu“ture as one or perhaps several countries was announced simultaneously: by Prime Minister Clement R. Attlee in the house of commons and by Viscount Mountbatten, viceroy of India, on the New . New Delhi radio,

Lord Mountbatten told the Indians that he was convinced a unifled India would be the best solu- * tion of the problem. No agreement on any plan for it could be reached, he said, and the “only alternative to coercion is partition.” Juhe, 1048, was the previous deadline set by Britain for yranster of power to Indian hands. The granting of dominion alates

to India this year wi mean the country would be A to

make its own“laws and conduct its own affairs, as do Canada and Australia. Nehru Speaks on Radio India then would settle internally the question of whether the country |. remains united or splits into Hindustan and Pakistan, either inside or outside the British empire. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, of the All-India Congress party, which is predominantly Hindu, said in speaking on the New Delhi radio after the viceroy: “We have decided to accept these proposals.” Mohammed Ali Jinnah spoke after Mr. Nehru on the New Delhi radio. He said some points did not meet his approval, but that the plan would be presented to the Moslem League for final decision. It was noted, however, that Mr, Jinnah had achieved his chief goal —the right to establish a separate Pakistan (or Moslem state). Mr. Attlee sald that the plan did not affect the status of the princely states in India. They might be absorbed into Hindustan or Pakistan, or one or more of them might become separate nations.

City Fund Probe Goes on Rocks

City council's probe into the financial operations of the controller's office, touched off recently by Democratic minority members, hit the rocks temporarily last night. At the rather discordant council session, efforts of Thomas R. Jacobi, city engineer, to have the rules suspended to pass an ordinance appropriating money to get the city’s $35 million sewer project underway were . block by the Democrats. The council did agree, however, to go along with a written request by Council President John A. Schumacher for a legal opinion on a measure to ban manufacture or possession of lottery or pool tickets. Suggested by Democrats Investigation of the city’s finances were brought about on the theory the controller's bookkeeping | and auditing methods are so antiquated that financial officers don't know from month to month what the municipal fiscal condition is. When the. investigation was suggested by the Democrats, the Republicans had to go along with the idea because it seemed that means of keeping the record-high property tax from soaring higher were at stake, Apparently Larry Parsons, the man who actually has been operating the controller's office during this administration, promised to bring an overdue financial statement to the meeting last night. The report was for the 1946 ecalendar year and was due, according to one legal interpretation, in February of this year. Democratic Councilman*®* W. A. Brown asked if Mr. Parsons had the statement with him. “No, I'm sorry. I forgot it,

Mr. Brown complained bitterly and asked whether the council planned to continue the investigation. It was decided to do so. Then a motion for adjournment was en-. tertatned.

Reports Invention

Of Long-Range FM

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3 (U, P.). —An Australian radio technician claimed today to have solved the biggest problem blocking development of frequency modulagjen radio. : - Frank Graham, 38, of Melbourne, said he had invented a radically new radio receiver with which he had picked up FM and other short range breadcasts from the United States, 6000 miles away. Reception of the FM broadcasts has been thought to be limited by the curvature of the earth to a range of about 50 miles. The announcement of Mr. Graham's invention was made by Radio Australia in a broadcast recorded here by United Press. Radio technicians here said that if his claims are true, he had evercome the biggest' stumbling block to advancement of FM radio. Mr. Graham said his set was a combination amplitude and frequency modulation receiver of 15 tubes, embodying several new principles of receiver design.
