GANDHPS RELEASE
DECIDED BY V|CEROY
Details Being Arranged to
Avoid DemonStration--In In.
dia Prison Ten Months.
Nv thu Associated Press-

BY the Associated Press.
NEW DELHI, india, January as
Viceroy Lord Irwin, It was understood
here today. already has made a decision
to release Mahatma Gandhi, imprisoned
nationalist leader. Only the details OF
his removal from Yeroda Prison, Poona
so as to avoid q public demonstration
remain to be arranged.
The Mahatma was arrested last May
4, more than a month after he had led
q group Of All-India National Congress
volunteers from Allahabad down to the
sea at Dandhi where they manufac-
tured salt in defiance Of British law.
He had hoped for arrest earlier, be-
lleving his incarceration would align
divergent elements behind him in the
passive war for independence, but for
many weeks the British government ar
rested his aides and left him alone.
Police finally awakened him in the
middle Of the night at camp near the
seashore and escorted him to especially
prepared quarters In the Yeroda Prison,
Poona.
Many Of his followers had hoped that
one of the results of the round table
conference Just completed at London
would be release OF him and other DO
litical prisoners. Prime Minister Mac
Donald promised that when peace was
restored political prisoners would be
freed.

tore up the recommendation and es-
tablished a purchasing board to consist
of one or more representatives of each
service making purchases Of any sort,

Engineers, well known as q man of large

the head of this board, the members
of which were to meet together and
make known their respective needs and
then agree among themselves as to
where and by which department each

ly assisting instead of competing with

prevent rise in prices that would add
to the financial burdens of the allies,
who were much less able to pay than
ourselves. Besides that, quantities Of
all kinds Of supplies were limited.
In an effort to reach a solution APP
pointed a board of officers to study the
question Of purchases, and suggested
that some agency might be created that
would supervise procurement in gen.
eral, and by co-ordlnating our own and
allied needs check the scramble for
supplies. In rather an extended discus
sion the board came to the conclusion
that centralized agency to control pur-
chaSes would be illegal, and unanimously
recommended the continuance of exist
ing methods. But an emergency con-
, fronted us and 1t was no time to dis
cuSs technicalitieS.
Some businesslike method had to be
adopted to meet the situation. In other
words, a remedy for an approaching
chaotic condition resulting from the in
dependent, uncontrolled action of the
several services must be found. To my
mind, the solution seemed to be merely
a matter of coordination. Therefore,

SPEED RECORD SET

Coyote Is Recorded.

By Science SorUics
YELLOWSTONE PARK, Wyo.
Feb. 5.-A Yellowstone coyote has
broken the speed record for coyotes
set up by Ernest Thompson Seton

Animals" According to Seton, the
best speed for northern coyote was
"a miles an hour.
The Yellowstone animal, officially
paced, kept up speed of from Is

Of 1.6 miles, a new record for coy
otes to shoot at,
Joseph Joffee, assistant to The
superintendent of Yellowstone Ma
tional park, tells the story. While
en- route by automobile to the buff
falo ranch recently he encountered
two coyotes on the road. Upon see
ing the car, they separated, as al
ways seem to be their custom, one
going to the left over a game trail
and the other to the right, along the
road.
Joffee Immediately picked up
speed and followed the one in the
road. Mrs. Joffee, who watched the
Speedometer, states that at no time
did it record less than Is miles an
hour, and that the maximum was
35 miles.

der City are located here, a distance
of some 20 miles. In Nevada gambling
has been legalized and the State does
not provide for enforcement Of the
eighteenth amendment. While Federal
ofhcers Of late have engaged in wide

Boulder City is located within the
county, they still retain police power
