Chitra Katha photo poster No. 5: Iraqi mission and food output (Bengali, Dacca)
A Bengali-language photo page for USIS Dacca in two reports: an Iraqi mission visiting the Daulatpur village development training centre, and a Tando Jam agricultural meeting on raising Pakistan's food output, where a U.S. aid director is quoted saying America is ready to help Pakistan. The tell is card-stacking: village-development work and U.S. assistance are shown through selected meetings and demonstrations.
