BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 30-Talking
critically about the President. common
practice in Washington. is comparatively
safe, but writing critically about the
White House housekeeping draws i'm
mediate fire-from the housekeeper.
The magazine Vanity Fair published
recently an article somewhat critical
of lack Of lavishness in White House
entertainment, written by Jefferson
Chase.
Mrs. Ava Long, housekeeper to the
Hoovers, Cancelled her subscription in
the following manner:
Jefferson Chase should be run out
of town for writing such an article
and you are equally responsible for
allowing 1t to be printed. You would be
the first to object II your taxes were
increased in order to increase the White
House appropriation to allow of lavish
entertainments"

MISSIONS IN INDIA
HELD UNMENACED
Gandhi Opposes Only Tao
tics, Declares C. F. An
dreWs, Biographer.

BY Gable to The Star.
LONDON, England. April 30.-Legit-
innate Christian missions in India are
not menaced by Mahatma Gandhi or
the nationalist movement, C. F. An
drews, famous missionary, biographer of
Gandhi and friend of Sir Rabindranath
Tagore, declared today.
The mahatrna's rsmarks on missions
have alarmed some churchmen, one
bishop even threatening passive resist
ance against attempts at expulsion from
India. Mr.. Andrews reassurances are
especially inportant to American Cilis-
tians, who have invested millions III In
dian colleges, hospitals and churches
and today carry on a half of all Indian
missionary enterprises.
Some Tactics Opposed.
The bearded English missionary, who,
more than any other living WeSterner
enjoys Indian friendship and conf
dence, says that Gandhi merely OPP
poses the tactics of some missionaries
combining proselytism and social serv-
ice. He objects to compulsory Bible in
struction in schools and the obligation
that applicants for medical attention
listen to a sermon before seeing a doc
tor according to Mr.. Andrews.
voluntary Bible classes and nom
compulsory preaching by nurses and
evangelists in hospitals are not con-
demnsd by Gandhi, who is not an
enemy of missions, as distorted remarks
published abroad seem to suggest" Mr..
Andrews said. ANY Christian mission
carried on with fairness and sincerity
will not be condemned by him.
Resolutions proposed by Gandhi and
unanimously adopted at the Karachi
Congress last March provide that any
new Indian government shall guarantee
by statute absolute religious freedom
and that the state shall favor no par
ticular religion. Under such consti-
tuition it would be impossible to expel
any missionary.
Equality Of Untouchables.
1.-THE Karachi resolutions also recog-
niZed the equality of the untouchables
with every one else in the eyes of the
law and politics, so it is prepoSterouS
to suggest that Gandhi would penalize
untouchables by withdrawing the Chris
tian missionaries or become the cham
pion Of the high-caSte HinduS.
"Gandhi. however, warns the Chris
tians against employing unfair methods
of proselytism. Every missionary So
ciety working in India should scrupu-
lousy revise its program, eliminating
everything suggestive of bribery or COM
pulsion to get people to become Chris
tians"
Mr. Andrews contemplates another
visit to the United States in the Au-
tunn, when he has completed his third
book on Gandhi and volume on reli-
gion. He has just returned from South
Africa, where he succeeded in blocking
TransYaal legislation segregating In
dams, which threatened bad blood in
India and other parts Of the empire.
