Students in Square Donate To Wheat-for-India Drive

Students shelled out five dollar bills in Harvard Square yesterday, and each one went a long way. A five spot will feed an Indian for 200 days, while as little as one dollar will sustain a child for 50 days.

The public wheat sale will be continued from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. in the Square. Labeled the Greater Boston Wheat-for-India Campaign, it has been organized to make "a dramatic demonstration of the desire of individuals to aid the people of India."

Among the sponsors of the drive are Henry J. Cadbury, Hollis Professor of Divinity, Pitirim A. Sorokin, professor of Sociology, Gordon Brumm '53, president of the Harvard World Federalists, the Harvard Liberal Union, and the Harvard Society for Minority Rights.

The sponsors hope that the gesture will "encourage Congressmen to speed up governmental action and will strengthen the ties of friendship between individual Americans and the people of India. It could not be shrugged off as "mere government propaganda."
