LONDON MEWS LETTER

BY B. B RAY CHAUDHURI

( Our Loudon Correspondent )
London, April 9

I understand that
besides France and Swit-
zerland many other Con-
tinental countries including
Italy. Norway, Spain and
Czechoslovakia are con-
templating to organise
Himalayan expedit una in
Summer thn year. Since
the conquest of Everest,
Western countries are
taking keener interest in
mouutaineering. Various
European University stu-
dents are also contempla
ting to form teams of
mountaineers to climb
different peaks of the
mightiest mountain in
the world. Quite a number
of Geographical Societies
havealready communicated
with' the Institute of
Mountaineering it Darjee-
ling for details of different
peaks, maps charts etc.

At the Annual Gene-
ral Meeting of the Ind an
Journalists' Association of
Great Britain. Mr. Sunder
Kabadi (A.B Patrika) was
elected President; Mr; B.B
Ray Chaudhuri (The Hi-
uialayan Time*) was elected
Secretary; Dr. Tara Pado
Basu (Hindustan Standard)
I r asurer. The Executive
Committee consists of Mr.
Ramanathan (P.T.I.); Dr.

K.S Shelvankar (The
Hindu ; Mr. Mulgaokar
(Times of India): and Mr.
Gunther Stein (Hindustan
Times). ■'. - ; ' -

I understand that
Mrs. Pandit will be in
India by the time this
letter is published, and
is unlikely to continue
her present position as
High Commissioner for
India in London. Already
there is speculation about
the name of the next
High Commissioner. There
is every possibility that
Mr. K.M Pannikar will-
sucoeed Mrs. Pandit.

Messrs. Mills & Boon
of London have just
published three very in-
teresting books. "Beauty
