John Kenneth Galbraith, U.S. Ambassador to India, is suffering from hepatitis and amoebic dysentery, United Press International reported yesterday. The news agency said the Harvard professor will be flows to Honolulu for treatment which will probably require four weeks in bed followed by several months rest.

Galbraith, Paul N. Warburg professor of Economics, has travelled extensively through India, walking barefoot in rice paddies and "mixing closely with the people." UPI said. "In doing so he apparently contracted the two diseases," the agency reported.
