LONDON, June 14. (U.»—Britain,
in a sweeping bid to end political
strife in India, announced today
that Congress party leaders were
being released from internment and
proposed to turn over the viceroy’s
executive council to the Indians ex-
cept for a single post. •
The conciliatory British moves

Amery told the House that Field
Marshal Lord Wavell, viceroy of
India, on a hine-week visit to Lon-
don recently received the govern-
ment's authority to try to effect a
complete Indianization of his ex-
ecutive council.
The only exception to Indian
membership of the council, accord-
ing to the proposal, would be re-
