INDIAN LABOURERS stand one over the other on precarious ladders leaning against a wall to form human sand-bag chains on the construction site of the American pavilion for the World Agricultural Fair in New Delhi. Two thousand Indian workmen, and an indefinite number of women and children, are working round the clock to complete the pavilion in time for its opening by President Eisenhower on December 11. The gilt-domed pavilion, costing nearly £1,000,000, is expected to be the most spectacular at the fair.
