CASTE SYSTEM IS
 PASSING IN INDIA
Passive Resistance Helps E!imi.
 nate Glass Differences
By WEBB MILLER


 Delhi India, June IT (UP)-The passive resistance movement is &C., complishing much toward breaklng down the Hindu caste system, in the opinion Of swaraj leaders here.
 Pandit S, N. Haksar. who is active In the movement in this section or India. received the United Press cor respondent Sunday and escorted him through their local headquarters, bare unfurnished house which for merly was the residence of an h. dian nobleman.
 Pandit Haksar went to consider able pains to point out how the caste system was breaking down before the vigorous urge for national inde- pendence, an urge. he said. that IS uniting all castes,
 About 200 volunteers live in the house. receiving an education in the principles of nationalism and non- violence as taught by Mahatn1a Gandhi At the same time they are receiving their food at cost Of about Is cents a day 10 the national congress, but free to them. About 40 of the volunteers, who comprise the congress night shift. were asleep. They were naked. ex- cept loin cloths. and lay on mats on the floor There were no beds.
 In some Of the rooms, volunteers were operating crude. homemade spinning wheels. making yarn for swaraj homespun. Pandit Haksar also took .he correspondent into the kitchen where he pointed out the parched grain, vegetables and fried rice which comprise the swara jist's s daily repast. They eat no meat. The cook is the son of q wealthy business man, and 1t was that which gave Pandit Haksar the opportunity to point out elimination of castes. Normally. he said, higher and lower castes are not allowed to eat toseth- CT, use the same utensils Or even touch their lips to the same drinking vessels.
 In national congress circles, how ever, the Pandit said, all castes are eating together and sleepins in the same building, and are manitesting no objections.
 Haksar formerly was a nlechani- cal engineer in charge Of Indian fac tories, but he abandoned his career a decade ago to preach indepen- dence. He was imprisoned for year as a result of his part in the 1920 upheaval.
 A large number of women visited congress headquarters here yester- day offering their services 10 the movement, Haksar said. The .- al congress committee uses vSAAen for hosse to house visits soliciting pledges for boycotts.

men in Caliparia month ago, plead guilty, whether

deserves word of thanks from the people of Imperial
county
Previously Savage had pleaded not guilty and not
guilty by reason of insanity, making it that the
county would have to go to the expense of a trial.
Anyone who has talked with the slayer can easily
tell that he is of low mentality normal enough in
respects but deficient in others. His crime was an
atrocous one and hanging him might be the best solu
tion, not necessarily punishment, but because the
world is better off vithout MS kind.
Yet for the state deliberately to take the life of
sub-norn1ai person, would be almost much crime
the one Savage committed.
His sentence of life Imprisonment in San Quentin
prison is the proper solution for his case, providing
the law is made to stick and really life mprison
ment. Savage is the type that should be permit
ted his liberty for to set him free again would only
more victims of his warped brain.
We believe the sentencing judge will make known on
