GANDH| DISCIPLE
EXPLAINS MISSION
Madeleine SIade Addresses
Large Audience at
Howard u.

Clad in the customary cotton man
tel covering the shaved head, leather
sandles on her feet and wearing a
woolen skirt suited to the Autumn
weather, Miss Madeleine Slade.
"Mirabai," Mahatma Gandhi's chosen
pupil, addressed a large audience
last night in the Andrew Rankin
Memorial Chapel at Howard Uni
versity.
Suddenly inspired to teach in Eng
land, Miss Slade broke for the first
time last Summer her nine years at
tachment to the Mahatma. At the
end of her mission in her native land
she found that she had a few weeks
more until the time set to return to
India, so decided to come to America,
If only for fortnight.
Miss Slade spoke last night mainly
upon the Mahatma's program for the
'untouchables I'VE In India know
well enough what 1t is to suffer under
the pride Of the white races" she
said, and declared that freedom from
the evils of the machine age would
come from the deeper insight Of the
darker races, who are gifted with
profounder spiritual insight than the
races Of the Western World, In her
opinion.

The essence Of Gandhi's movement
Is the liberation Of the individual from
the unnecessary comforts of our age.
she said, the idea being to do without
as much as you can, even the luxury
Of privacy, which the Mahatma de-
clares the root Of much of the vice
Of the world. AS for her master. he
enjoys privacy only in his bath, while
the rest Of his day, from 2:30 or 3
in the morning to IL or IL at night,
is spent in the midst of his disciples
Miss Slade speaks in a quiet Eng
lish voice, a beatific expression upon
her face. She had only words of
sympathy for Miss Mia Cram Cook,
Gandhi's renegade disciple. Miss Cook
didn't like having her head shaved
and associating with the "untouch-
ables," 1t seems, and, unable to stand
it any longer, finally left with the
blessing Of the Mahatma and his
spiritual daughter, Miss Slade.
Uncomfortable at Hotel.
Miss Slade is staying at the May
flower Hotel, which makes her feel
quite uncomfortable. She much pre-
fers her quarters in the Lillian Wald
Settlement House in New York City.
She called on Mrs. Roosevelt at the
White House today. When she spoke
last night at Howard, she had only
landed an hour before from her first
airplane ride.
Miss Slade is staying in America

ROOSEVELT TRUCE
WITH TRADE NEAR
Plans for Rural Housing
Resemble Hartman
Proposals.
Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Efforts to bury the hatchet that has
cleaned in several exchanges between
President Roosevelt and some leaders
of business are becoming apparent.
Signs that the White House and
some spokesmen for business are find
ing more common ground in their ap-
proach to certain recovery problems
were underscored today when 1t be-
came clear that President Roosevelt's
intentions on rural housing pear
marked resemblances to the views OF
Henry I. Hartman, president OF the
Chamber of Commerce Of the United
States.
The President let it be known yes
terday that he favors an expansion OF
rural building activities. as well as
slum clearance. The home building
In rural communities, which fits into
Mr.. Roosevelt's often-stressed idoas
for decentralization of industry. was
described as aimed TO get people on
relief rolls.
About the same time, in speech at
Memphis, Tenn. Hartman was tack
ling the problems of unemployment
and economic insecurity" In similar
vein.
"The real cure Of the situation"
said his address as distributed here,
sis a gradual decentralization OF our
workers from the center to the perl
phery of metropolitan areas and the
establishment of our working people
in homes with two or more acres OF
good land, available Cor cultivation.
Urges Money for Homes.
ct therefore hope that future ex-
penditures of the Federal Government
for relief work will take the form OF
the construction of well-designed, in
expensive homes within 10, 20 or 80
miles of our great centers, each horSe
having not less than two acres OF land.
If one or two million families could
thus be moved, the whole social and
economic problem would be changed
and the burden Of relief would be
lifted"
Hartman said he saw hopeful
signs in the administrations attitude
toward business" although, he de-
clared, there are still "unfavorable
conditions" in the economic picture,
"such as the unbalanced budget" wi
cious" strikes and drought.
The tenor of the speech was re-
garded as significant, because less than
a month ago the directors of the
chamber, seeking what many busl-
ness man call assurances" were pub
licly propounding a list of pointed
questions to the President, who gave
the queries a cool reception.
Some Disappointed.
Although some business men are
said to feel disappointed that the
speech did not contain assurances
about monetary policy and expendi-
lures, Hartman said:
IT would cite President RooSevelt's
radio address of September 80 as
containing many hopeful indications
Of the Presidents attitude toward
business.
He did not touch upon the i'm
portant subjects of finance and the
budget, and he did indicate clearly
with his policies of reform.
"But he did give assurance of his
adherence to the Constitution as the
broad highway on which alone true
progress may be enjoyed in the words
quoted from Chief Justice White; and
showed that ne had no intention
of abandoning the political and eco
nomic system under which American
life has developed"

and a graduate of the Henderson
vile high school, has been elected
captain of the University of
North Carolina cross country
team.
Waldrop, who is now living in
Greenville, n. c., is considered
one of the greatest distance run
ners in the history of the unlver-
sity. In his freshman year he ran
second only to Harry Williamson
on the freshman barrier club, and
showed good form on the frosh
track team as a mile runner.
In his sophomore year he was
kept out of cross country com
petition by an injured leg, but
was a fairly good miller on the
Southern conference champion
ship track team.
Last year he was handicapped
in cross country by a strained
muscle in his side, but ran high
ON the barrier club and finished
among the leaders in the confer
ence meet.
About the middle of last
springs track season he was shift
ed to the two-mile run and won
his first place in a dual meet with
NAVY. In the Southern conference
meet at Duke he turned IN sur
prise performance by nosing out
Bird of Duke and DunaJ, OF
Washington and Lee in a spirited
finish for the title.
