Gandhi ives released from prison to-
night few hours after he had started
an unconditional fast, which he de-
clared he would not terminate even if
every temple was opened to India's
untcuchables and the stain of untouch-
ability wholly removed.
The frail leader of India's millions,
who is IS years old, announced the
present fast a week ago. He has been
held in Yeroda Prison since January 4,
1882. in connection with his civil diso-
bedience campaign against British rule.
Gandhi was given a medical exami-
nation and found to have put on two
pounds since May 3. Doctors said he Is
fit, but has no reserve strength.
Yeroda Prison was the center Of in
tense interest as the fast began. A vast
crowd outside the gates clamored un-
successfully for admission.

In the conferences which we have
