ONE CAUSE OF
GANDHI FAST

POONA, India, May s. U.P) -
Mahatma M. K. Gandhis three
week fast for qualification" which
begins Monday was at least partly
inspired by his disapproval of the
life of his American disciple, Mia
Cram Cook, the newest issue of
Gandhi's organ, Harlan" revealed
today.
Miss Cook, whose Indian name is
Mela Naghini Dew, (the Blue Ser
pent Goddess, was recently sum-
moned to Gandhis jail cell from
Bangalore. She was then ordered
to Ashram Ahmedabad where she
is reported to have shaved her head
in retribution.
Following his interview with Miss
Cook, Gandhi concluded she was
leading a life of untruth and ex-
travagance, Harlan said.
Il want those who are aware of
my impure, eXtravagant ways to
know that am sincerely striving for
a new life" she was said to have
written to Gandhi. "As an aspirant
to the social service I have been a
great hypocrite. Please publish that
I lived an impure life in the past
that was untrustworthy, filled with
! worldly dealings and false appear
ances."

to that section of the building.
Damage was largely confined to
the roof and the total loss was es-
ti,nated al between $4,000 and $4,000,
according to Fire Chief Tom Reams.
A careful inspection today, Chief
Reans said, revealed the fire origi-
mated in the top of the elevator
shaft, penetrated a small opening
from the shaft to the roof and also
dropped down the shaft to the
basement. There was considerable
water damage to both building and
equipment, he said.
The ASBESTOS roof was a help in
confirming the spread of the flames.
No flames penetrated to rooms Or
halls of the main floors, Reams
said.
Firemen fought desperately for
half an hour before the fire was
under control. They remained at
the scene Two hours to complete
their work.
Ed Mulllgan, owner o. the build
ing, said plans for rebuilding or
repairing would be considered as
soon as the insurance adjusters
completed their report. He said
hospital, whether new or repaired
from the damaged one, would be
maintained at the present side.
Lemons and Arnolds' ambu-
lances were summoned last night
and transported patients either to
their homes or to La Solana hoSpi-
tai as was desired.

FARM BUREAU
WOMEN SEEK
VOTING RIGHT

Women's rights and votes for
women were brought up at this
afternoons >meeting of farm bu-
reau directors held in the court
house, farm nome department wo-
men demanding the right to vote at
center meetings.
Pointing out that the women
worked under the farm bureau and
were a part of it, Mrs Charles
Hackleman, head of the home de-
partment, asked that they be per-
mitted to vote.
Upon some hesitation on the part
of the men, Mrs. Hackleman re-
minded them that if the home de-
partnent women were not con-
sidered farm bureau members, the
next time the farm bureau wanted
a meal put on by the women, they
would decline to do so since they
were not a part. This threat
brought the few stragglers into
line and it was decided that regu-
lar, associate and home depart
ment members would be permit
ted one vote at center meetings.
This then brought up the ques-
ton as to the basis of representa-
ton for directors from each CEN
ter, whether men or money"
should be counted. There are the
regular $40 memberships and SIS as
sociate memberships. The former
includes home department men,
bership, and the latter, upon pay
ent of $3.50, includes the woman's
membership. w. A. McFadden
moved that $40 membership
count as one and a SIS as Y when
the basis of represent
tation on the board of directors,
being elected on mem
bership basis. At press time the
motion was still in debate, Clyde
Bailey attacking the payment of a
secretary for the farm bureau.

forum.
State department support is said
in informed circles to have been

such a program.

statement in London that the debt
question must be settled before the

Morning Following All-Night
FiIibuster.

SACRAMENTO, May 6. U.H -
Passage Of the pari-mutuel con-
stitutional amendment permitting
betting at race tracks, and a fill
buster against liberalization of di-
rect primary election laws ended
a wild all night session of the as
sembly at o'clock this morning.
The lower house, confronted with
more than 100 bills on file, quickly
passed the race track measure. and
then set to work wrangling on the
election bill, which was finally
passed, As TO 7.
The race track amendment, which
goes to the senate for approval,
probably will be submitted to the
people at the special election con-
templated in June if it wins ap-
prevail in the senate.
Sleepy members moved into the
election bill, sponsored by assem-
blymen B. j. Feigenbaum and Mel
vim 1. Cronin, with renewed vigor
as a group against the bill started
the filibuster.
The bill provides that persons
voting in a primary election may
declare their party on the day of
election instead of going to the
county clerks office and declaring
their party 40 days previously.
Assemblymen, worn with long
hours of work during the past week,
and night sessions every night,
fought tooth and nail on the cleo
lions bill. Republicans and Demo-
Gratis were aligned on both sides Of
the fence.
A series of amendments, designed
to cut the original intent out of
the bill, were voted down one by
one.
The fight against the bill was led
by Assemblyman Lawrence Cobb,
Los Angeles, who asserted it would
mean the end of party politics in
California
Proponents of the measure, how
ever, headed by Feigenbaum, argued
the proposal was necessitated be-
cause of the permanent registra-
ton laws now in effect.
On adjournment, although it was
a. M, the assemblymen voted 10
; return at 10 a. m, giving only four
hours rest. Only today remains
for the assembly to clean UP the
files before consideration of senate
bills start next week. 1t was ex-
pected the assembly would stop the
clock and work all night tonight.

and an organization such as the D.

ex-service men, many of whom have
been dealt hardships by the recent
