tanned in letter written to Inter-

A court test involving the con-
Stitutional power of the Federal
Government to license industry
and fix prices was imminent in
the Chicago area today as the

Of six and fraction cents per
quart at retail stations, in de-
fiance of the Government edict
that all sales should be at 10
cents per quart.
Wallace Acts
In administration circles, it was
feared public sympathy might
mass behind the independents.
The Government was placed in
the unpopular position of seeking
to force so per cent increase in
the lowest retail price quoted for
milk.
AS one move to combat this
situation, Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace and Farm Administrator
George N. Peek issued a Joint
statement urging city dwellers to
support the program to raise farm

An intensive educational CAM

ID. C. Has City Status
Frank Wilson, who is in charge
for the National Recovery Ad-
ministration in the intensive drive
to be undertaken in the interest
of widespread cooperation for
the Presidents program, said to-
day that Washington is being
treated, for drive purposes, like
typical city, and that the Dis
trict of Columbia is not regarded
as having the status of a State.
Accordingly, a different proce-
dure will be adopted here than in
the States generally, and the gen.
eral and lieutenant general who
will assume active charge Of the
local campaign will not be named
by the District Commissioners,
Mr.. Wilson said:
This may be news to the Dis
trict Commissioners, for it was
reported yesterday that they were
seriously considering possible Sc
1ections for the honors and re-
sponsibilities Of these posts.
According to Mr.. Wilson, he
has asked the officials of the
Board of Trade. the Chamber Of
Commerce and the Merchants and

together for the formation of
general committee, and this gen.
eral committee will name the

the latter to be a woman.

First in the city directory, first
in the telephone book, the A.A.A.,

This penchant for being first
was aided by the fact that George

early to vote.
Col. George L. TAFT, of Mt.

GANDH| FREED,
MAY BEGIN
NEWFAST
Mahatma Restrained From
Further Activities Under
Threat of RearreSt

BOMBAY. Aug. / G.N.S0.
Released under stringent restric-
tions a few hours after his arrest
today, Mahatma Gandhi, In
dian religious leader waging a
fighS against untouchability, may
begin q new "fast unto death"
This was the fear expressed by
friends Of the Mahatma, idol Of
India's teeming millions, after
the British-Indian government
broke up his plan to march on
a fresh, sacred mission" Of
spreading the doctrine OF indi-
vidual disobedience.
Gandhi and 30 Held
On the verge of beginning a
march through Indian villages
to launch the campaign, Gandhi,
his wife, and 80 followers were
arrested early this morning in a
sudden police raid at Ahmeda-
bad.
Fevered discussions between
Lord Wilingdon, viceroy Of India,
and government officials followed.
It was decided to take the
Mahatma to Poona, where he has
twice tasted and spent many
months in Jail, and release him.
Gandhi was granted his free
dom, however, only under terms
restricting his movements and
precluding further disobedience
activity. In the event he ignores
these terms, he wiN be rearrested
and liable to two years imprison-
ment under the Bombay emer-
gency powers act.
In view of this and the fact that
authorities apparently spiked his
plans for renewed assault
against British rule, fears were
expressed in many quarters that
Gandhi would start another fast.
Refuse Seminary
The government refused to &C.
cept Gandhi's offer his ashram
(seminary), declaring it was no
concern of theirs, provided it's ac-
cessment was paid.
In offering the ashram, the
Mahatma said he could not accept
the terms Of authorities under
which it could be run safely" and
therefore wished to turn it over to
the government in the hope some
use might be made of its chattels
and cash. The money amounts to
about $1O0,583.
