CANDHI SILENCE
BLOCKS ACTION
AT CONFERENCE
Refusal to Speak Hampers
Meeting Called to Plan
India Rule.
BY HARRY FLORY
United Press STAFF CORRESPONDENT


LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE federal
structure committee of the Indian
round table conference met today
to consider a constitution for India,
holding one fifth of the population
of the world.
The meeting convened at IL a. m.
at st. James palace. Mahatma M.
K. Gandhi, leader of the Indian ma
tionalists, arrived twelve minutes
late. He was observing his regular
weekly day of silence.
Gandhi, silent, but observant, lis
tened carefully to the speeches dur
ing the committees meeting and
carefully scrutinized the documents
presented.
Silence Blocks Action
The committee adjourned after
an hours session, unable to COM
plete the general discussion on &C
count of Gandhi's silence. Dele
gates said they hoped the prelimin-
airy discussions would be completed
Tuesday.
The mahatma said, before his day
of silence began, that if his opinion
was needed during today'S meeting,
he would communicate it by note.
Mrs. Naidu carried thermos
flask of goats milk and Desai a
package, apparently containing nuts
and fruit, indicating that Gandhi
felt that he had insufficient time
to ride from the palace to Kingsley
hall, the welfare center in the east
end where he is living, to have his
lunch.
GaZes at Palace
Gandhi earlier in the day haC
conferred with Lord Sankey anc
agreed on procedure to be followed
by the committee. After the meet
ing, the Mahatma walked through
st. James park and gazed up al
Buckingham palace, residence OF
the kings and one of the most
Ac11AlOuo OV1 uOGuICO III Vic WOIIO.
What is the name Of that build
ing?" Gandhi asked companion.
He was told that it was Bucking-
ham palace.
ut looks like nice place." the
mahatma said, and continued his
walk toward his cellroom at Kings
ley Hall, east end welfare center.
Hundreds of visitors were received
at Kingsley Hall Sunday and a Gu
rioius crowd filled the streets of the
neighborhood. Gandhi conducted a
half-hour prayer service in the eve
ming, attended by residents of the
hall, and later received the press in
the dining room.

Four-Fifths of Fatalities in
1880 Due to Car of
Individual.

among children of school age,
automobile accidents hold first place
as the most common cause Of &C
cidental deaths"
Nearly four-ffths of the motor
vehicle fatalities during 1880 in
volved privately-owned auton1o-
biles."
These statements based on in
vestigation by the National Safety
Council show ACCESSIBILITY of the in
dividual motorist driving carefully
to protect the lives of school chill
dren as urged in the two-week cam
uaign of The Times.
No Fatalities to Date
Since the opening of school this
year, school children have escaped
death by autos. The Times cam
paign is in its second week.
According to the safety councils
figures, fatal accidents by BUSES,
trucks and taxicabs have been re-
duced 10 per cent, while Mr.. and
Mrs. Motorist have increased their
death mark 81 per cent.
indianapolis safety leaders today
said the decline in commercial We
hicle crashes is due to the active
interest employers have taken in
safety measures and the education
that has been directed to their
drivers.
Deputies Open Drive
1t is the purpose of The Times to
educate the individual motorist to:
LOSE A MINUTE AND SAVE A
LIFE.
According to national surveys,
speeding causes 10 per cent of the
motor accidents and 20 per cent of
the fatalities.
In view of this, city and county
authorities today informed The
Times that police and deputy sher-
ifs are under orders to halt speed
ing on streets and highways.
In addition. motorists we're asked
to check their cars for mechanical
defects. A tire that bursts, a loose
or broken steering connection, faul-
ty lights or a windshield that re-
suits in poor vision may cause a
motorist to have the life of a child
or an adult marked against him.

MACDONALD FREED
FROM CRISIS FEAR
Conservative Drive Failure Gives
Labor Government Chance to
Finish Year.

LONDON, January 3l.-For the first
time since the London Naval Confer
ence of year ago Prime Minister Ram
say Macdonald Is resting at CheQuers
Court this week end without a crisis
of some sort in domestic or interna-
tional affairs awaiting his urgent So
luton.
For year and half he has been
going to bed flguratively with his boots
on, ready for a midnight call for him
to come and save his own government
or an international conference from
sudden death.
There is still one big danger spot
India-but Mr.. Macdonald did his bit
at the round table conference. and the
fate of Britain's relations with the
great Asiatic nation now hangs on
events there beyond his control.
The big Conservative drive, headed
by Stanley Baldwin, to get Labor out
of Office during the first fortnight of
the present parliamentary session fail
ed completely. The Labor regime thus
has reprieve which possibly may en-
able it to live throughout the present
year and even to fuller span of life.
The only hope that Conservatives
have of turning the Laborites out is by
winning Liberal votes, but the brilliant
Sir John Simon. as an open rebel
against the Liberal party caucus, could
swing only eight Liberal votes to the
Conservative side.

IF YOU WON IT WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

This is the of the year when many Alas kans wondering what they will do when they win the Nenana ice contest wondering whether they will the sovereign class.
 Perhaps some will do as Dives did, lean back in a luxurious chair and nhae snorts of "red-eye" while Lazarus scratched his bureaucratic fleas the front door step and explored the garbage for bones
 What would we do? We'll that's difficult to say.
 However, it would be nice to have more holidays; time to sit down and reflect that it is good to be alive Not much time chasing the almighty dollar like jackrabbit and spend Sunday figuring how to circun vent his fellow citizen.
 There's too much of rush from the cradle to the grave If you oiter along you called bum. Seems like are born in hurry live by electricity, vtamins and Republican administration, and die with scientific expedition.

ROAD SPANNING THE ALASKA PENINSULA |S
 NEEDED NOW, EVANS

A lot of people in the Bristol Bay country, the Alaska Peninsu- la proper and at Kanatak, look forward to the day when the Westward area receives more at tention from government and Ter ritorial officials with special ref erence to roads, states H. N. Evans, fur buyer and trading post own CT who at present is in Seward.
 When the cannery season is over there is little to do until it is time to go out on the trap line. But if a road was constructed across the Alaska Peninsula from Kanatak to Bristol Bay, the resi- dents out there could make better living by salting fish and taking it out over the road to an open port-Kanatak As most people know, Bristol Bay is more or less iced in during the long winters. It is an easy country to build roads in, being high re- zion covered profusely with ex- cellent gravel.
 There is need, MT. Evans said, right now for at least a good trail
 from Kanatak to Ugashik, a dis tance of approximately 100 miles, and from Ugashik to Igigik, another 50 miles.
 More shelter cabins are needed and those now there are in g sad state of disrepair. This route is used continually during December, February and March; the winter mail is brought out from Dilling- ham this way. In years past, the mail was months in reaching the Bristol Bay district. Last winter the first mail arrived for Christ mas.
 Another piece of work necessary is that of blasting rocks from the rapids at the connecting point of Igigik River with Lake Bacharof. This is the only danger spot on the entire inland water-courSe to Bristol Bay, one days travel, and each year one or two boats are lost Tn these rapids. Last year MT. Evans barely escaped with his life. The cost of this work would be small and he stands ready to CO., operate in anyway in order that these rocks may be cleared away. Indications, he said, are that the blasting may be done this year at "a cost of about $1,OO0.
 The old oil company road lead ing to the dones is in poor shape and should be given some atten- tlon this year but six mile road to Bacharof would eliminate a number of miles via the other way.
 The road needs of that imme- diate region are not great, but what little there is, would cer- tally be appreciated, MT. Evans said, and would help solve many problems for the residents on the Alaska Peninsula.
