In Conference With President Giri of India
New Delhi, India
F OR THE FIRST TIME

am seeing che sec-
ond most populous country in the
world. I had .flown over India on three round-the–
world trips, with fuel stops only, here, and at Calcutta,
and at Bombay. But I saw little except the airports
then.
I have just returned to our hotel from a tour through
New Delhi, and the extremely congested downtown area of the
Old City of Delbi. I want to share sorne of the experience with
our readers, while it is fresh on my mind.
The combined Old City and New Delhi - they adjoin–
present a city of more extreme contrasts than any city I know

population increase in India. And, too, much has been written

three-hour visit.
Accompanying me were Mr. Stanley Rader, our chief legal
counsel, and Mr. Osamu Gotoh, head of our Japanese Depart–
ment at the Pasadena campus.
We are stopping off
in
India on this round-the-world trip
in our own executive jet aircraft. Arrangements have been made
for conferences with a number of Presidents, Prime Ministers,
and Governors-General. First of these is the President of India,
His Excellency V. V. Giri. That conference has been arranged
by his Secretary, Dr. Singh. But the President is presently in
the far south of India, at the Governor's mansion at Bangalore.
Dr. Singh has arranged for us
to

morning en route to Singapore. At Bangalore the President will
