Chiang Kai-shek was putting up with "considerable inefficiency" from old friends who became lead ers and to whom he is indebted. He described China as a "sad pic ture," said not more than 20 per cent of the aid sent to that coun try went to its proper destination - - "the rest v is black -marketed or mal - distributed" - -and co la mented that while there was a huge. Chinese communist army "only a very small percentage of Chinese have the communist ideo logy; they are where they are ei ther because of conscription or because its the only way they can get to eat." Ghandi Hopes for Unity India also was described as in "sad" icondition, although Ghan di told him he still hopes for a united nation (Hindustan and Pakistan), .the congressman said.

Rome, Norblad said, seemed "in good shape, although I didn't get to Triestej or in other parts of It aly. There was lots of merchan dise in stores and hotel menus were good." The. representative -said Austria had given no signs of being pre ponder antly communistic, and that while there was none of the pre-war gaiety for. which Vienna was noted the' country seemed on the road to recovery which might be speeded even more if all oc cupying troops left. Berlin was "unbelievably, bat tered and I don't see how a city ever can be reconstructed there. They'd, better start a new one." .
