entertainment progress for many
years, is threatened with tlisrup-

telling what developments may fol-

Bids for the band were made by

on independence Day, and when
the invitation from the Khan was

speech against it. On his motion
the invitation was rejected.

Some of the members, said to be
members of the Khan, took violent

resignation.
