When Graham landed in India with funds raised from free-enterprising Americans, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru himself sat down with the tireless enterpriser for a half-hour's talk and wished him all success. Krishnamachari not only approved, but last week eased import restrictions on needed machinery for Graham projects and promised that all profits could be taken out of India...
