.DR. WEIGH WILL
 BE PAID H0NORS
Pioneer in Bacteriology, at Age
 Of 80, Thanked

Washington, April z (uP) - Worldwide tribute will be rendered tomorrow to a man who never led an army into battle, made a trans atlantic flight, or did anything ex- Cept toll in his laboratories on tedi ous works which have saved the lives of uncounted millions-Dr. William II. Welch of Johns Hop lins. Baltimore.
 He is an unassuming hero of the great silent battle between man and germs, the age-long peace-time war whose casualty list every year is greater than those of the whole world war. Scarcely a man, woman or child anywhere has not been benefited by Welch's work.
 Dean of Associates
 Though in his own profession his achievem mt has made him dean of his colleagues, he has labored 55 years without as much world ac- claim as has come within a few months 10 a pair of funny men on the radio.
 But tomorrow he will be so years old and at the end of one of the most useful lives of his time, the debt which humanity owes to him will be fittingly acknowledged.
 President Hoover will speak at the key exercises here. Radio will be used 10 link simultaneous cerc- monies throughout America, Europe and the Orient.
 It was Welch who spread through America the theory of scientific bac- teriology. At the time he was gradu- ated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia univer- sity, 55 years ago, the idea that disease could be caused by invisible plants and animals was ridiculed.
 Studied in Europe
 When the German scientist, knoch, isolated the bacillus which causes anthrax, and thereby estab- lished the German origin of con- tagious disease, Welch travelled through Europe, studied the new discoveries and returned to Amer ica to become a guiding genius along the pathway of scientific medi- cal training.
 Dr. Welch's work was done with Johns Hopkins Medical school. He | resigned active leadership at the age of 70 and founded the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Pub lie Health. For many years students have come to him from all over the world and his influence has pene- trated to all peoples.

Leader Issues Comment

Dandi, Puniab, India, April ' (Ps -Mahatma Gandhi, Indian national ist leader, in commenting today upon the government action against yes terday's salt law violators, said the striking manifestation of civil dis obedience in the Gujerat had had an effect on the government, which lost no time in arresting the chief men involved.
 This, the Mahatma said, was a matter for congratulation-it would have been surprising if the govern mcnt had allowed the civil dis obedience volunteers to have had their own way and would have been barbarous if they had violated the persons and property of volunteers without proceeding judicially. No exception, he said, could he taken to orderly prosecutions and punish ments legally inflicted.
 Wants Students 10 Quit
 Gandhi concluded: Now is the time for everyone to -be both chief and follower. It will pain mo deep ly if even after these mprisonmonts the students in government or gov ernmcnt controlled schools and col leges do not respond by giving up their studies.'
 In addressing a, public meeting last night Gandhi complimented a police officer who confiscated the salt collected at Aat on the courte- sy shown 10 the volunteers who had produced the salt. He added that he would congratulate the govern ment and bow down before the vice. roy If the salt tax were abolished.

 Two Men Wounded
 Police then arrested the captain of the volunteers and others who had told the volunteers not to give up their salt In the scuffle which followed two nationalists were re- ported slightly injured.
 Mahatma Gandhi who opened the civil disobcdiencc campaign himself yesterday, arrived at Aat on the beach from Dandi shortly after the scuffle to observe his usual Monday silence and meditation.
 In a speech written hy him and read aloud by a volunteer, Gandhi said he would come 10 Aat again to- morrow 10 collect salt with the vol unteers. He exhortcd all the viii lagers 10 do likewise. He advised them to come clad only in loin cloths as they could not afford 10 have their clothes torn. He also urged them not 10 surrender the salt they had collected even if the police broke their hands.
 The salt gathered by Gandhi yes- terday has been refined and sold at auction for 525 rupees.
 To Issue Pledges It Is understood that Gandhi shortly will issue special pledges for public signature whereby the sigma tories bind themselves to use only contraband salt.

about twenty miles form Bombay tried passive resistance by standing OH the tracks and blocking trains. The policemen beat them off.
 Although it arrcs,ed GO for salt manufacture throughout Bombay, and smashed the vessels in which the salt was to be made in one place in Bengal, the attitude of the government toward the movement was not clear. Ghandi was said stll to court arrest, but it was not be- lieved Viceroy Lord Irwin wished to order anything which would tend to make a martyr of the aged mau.
 Police Ready for Emergency
 Police forces have been concen- trated in large groups in various but the only violence reported is with the railway strikers, who have been out for several weeks in an effort to secure better working COZ ditions. At Kurla, near Bombay, police fired on a group of strikers diid tu StNCll, Nllllt dl l ildIlNl the strikers stoned and injured workers who had remained on the job.
 The Mahatma's s inauguration of the campaign of civil disobedicnce was as striking and picturesque ss il may be far-reaching. There were no police in sight as he gave the signal for disobedience of the salt laws over all India. Leaning on the shoulder Of the daughter of Abbas Tyabji, retired Baroda dis triCt judge who will lead the volur- teers if Gandhi is arrested, he went down into the sea 10 the accom- paniment of shouts from his follow CTS.
 Long live Mahatma Gandhi."
 Dips Up First JugfuI
 He dipped up a jug of water from the long gray line of breakers rolling in from the gulf of Cambay, and carried it 10 the shore, where evaporation and procuring of the salt was effected.
 Immediately after coming frorl the water he issued a statement to the press in which he said:
 Now that a technical or cer7- monial breach of the salt law has been committed such a course 6 open 10 any one who will risk prosecution. He may manufacture salt wherever he wishes and where ever convenient" Continuing, the statement urged Villagers every where to break the salt laws, and then said; Tt should be made clear to the villagers that the breach is i:, no way stealthy."
 In conclusion the statement sail: | This war agains the salt tax shoul1 be continued during national week 1 that is, up to April 12. Those en- gagged in this sacred work should devote themselves to vigorous propaganda for a boycott against foreign cloth and the prohibition of | liquor. l am preparing q message now for the women of India, who. am convinced more and more, can make a larger contribution thaA men towards attainment Of inde- pendence,'
