The Indian Supreme Court, which last week over-
turned Prime MinisterGandhi's conviction for cam-
paign violations in 1971, yesterday dealt her a
major setback by refusing to reconsider a two-year-
old ruling restricting the power of parliament to
amend the constitution.
The Prime Minister and other members of her
government have complained that parliament--repre-
senting "the people"--is frequently blocked by the
courts, which they allege represent only a "small
minority." She often has used her large majority
in parliament to push through constitutional amend-
ments when other means of attaining her goals have
failed. One of these amendments recently was struck
down by the courts. The court's decision has led
to speculation that Gandhi may be planning action
to strip the courts of some of their powers. One
way for her to do this legally would be to call a
constituent assembly, perhaps made up of the pres-
ent parliament, to rewrite the nation's constitution.

The European Free Trade Association has agreed
to offer project aid to Portugal, but it is much less
than Lisbon had requested.
EFTA last week approved a $100-million invest-
ment fund for Portugal and a five-year delay in
requiring Lisbon to eliminate tariffs on certain
industrial imports from the other six members. The
EC also has offered aid, but Lisbon is making little
progress in drawing up acceptable projects. Any
major flow of money into Portugal from either of
these sources evidently is still some way off.
