SUNDAY SPORT TO BE BALLOTTED ON
Measure Would Ban Athletics
 Among Indian Tribes

Ottawa, April l P)-Festriction of Sunday sports among Indians IS provided in a government bill pass ed by committee and now before the house of commons for third reading.
 The amendment which provides for controlling or prohibiting par ticipation, in, or attendance at, public games. sports, races, ath- letic contests or other such amuse- ments on the Sabbath,' met with objections from some members of the house.
 One member pointed out that many white men play golf on Sun day and make bets. Another sus- gested there are a number of h. dians in the six nations who are pagans and therefore Sunday has no special significance to them.
 Charles Stewart, minister of the interior, explained the purpose was not to deprive the Indian of healthy sport He said many of the Sunday games were organized on Indian reserves by whites and that liquor found it's way in the celebrations causing disturbances resulting il complaints from Christians.
 Another amendment to the bill provides a fine for Indians whc spend too much time in pool rooms to the detriment of themselves anl their families.

Bombay, India, April H) A definite threat to start pas sive resistance campaign against the movement led by Mahatma Gandhi. nationalist leader. was contained in a manifesto issued today by the founders of a new party called the Indian National -Revolution- ary' party. This is headed by three widely known members of the so- called depressed classes of Poona.
 The manifesto says that "in view of the fact that Gandhi. dictator of the Indian national congress, declar- ed for civil disobedience before do- ing his utmost to secure for the de- pressed classes the right of entry into the temples and the removal of untouchability, it has been decided to organize the Indian National Anti-Rev party in order 10 persuade Gandhi to postpone his civil disobedience movement"
 The party's immediate program will be to send out a band of VOL unteers to try to persuade Gandhl to postpone his attempt to infringe the salt law by resorting to passive resistance against them.

WOMAN OBJECTS ID
 EXCHANGING DIET
Dissatisfied With Pork and
 Beans and Tuna Fish

A diet of pork and beans, day after day, and occasionally tuna fish and salmon is not to the liking of Mrs. Charles Passanisi of no Hart ford avenue, and she wants her husband to give her some money to spend, but he claims to have more than he can handle to keep his property and clothe his wife and four children, according to story unfolded in police court today when Passanisi was arraigned on the charge of non-su support.
 Passanisi, who is A years of age, conducts a store in his property, and his wife refuses to help him even to the extent of remaining in the store while he is at the bank or elsewhere for little while on busi- ness, he testified. She is ''crazy for religion" he said, and spends her time going about from house to house telling others to come to her church and be saved. He did not object to feeding her and the chill dren, and clothing them within req son, but he did not want her com ing into the store and helping her self to edibles for distribution with out charge among her friends.
 Mrs. Passanisi, on the other hand, said she needed SC a week but her husband would not give it to her. He seemed to think that the pork and beans diet was sufficient for the family and they had meat very seldom.
 Judge Stanley J. Traceslii took the view that Passansi should pay his wife some money as it was not suf- ficient to provide her with only her meals and the bare necessities of life, while Judge r. B. HungeRord, who represented the husband con- tended that there was a mutual obli- gation between husband and wife and she should help him in every way possible. As to pork and beans and tuna fish, Judge Hungerford econtended that if Passanisi was un- able to afford anything better or diff ferent, his wife should be satisfied to share his lot.
 Assistant Prosecuting Attorney w. NJ. Greenstein called Judge Hunger ford's attention to Passini's testi- mony that he had bought his wife

a coat two years ago for $50. That is what he calls providing her with clothing" MT. Greenstein observed, to which Judge Hungerford replied that Mrs. Passanisi did not appear to be neglected as to her dress.
 Passanisi told the court his wife does not even prepare cup of cof- fee for him in the morning and when he goes home for his meals she tells him to go to a restaurant and buy his food. He works IS or % hours a day in his store, while she allows the children to run around the streets in order that she might have time to go about in the inter- ests of the Christian Alliance Mis- sion.
 Judge Tracesbi continued the case until April 12 in the hope that the troubles between the couple will be amicably settled, but if they cannot come to an agreement he promised to pass an order for passimisi to con- tribute to his Wife's support under bonds.
