BOMBAY. May l4-Mohandas K
Gandhi today is bigger figure In
India than ever.
After a long period OF self-imposed
silence and inactivity. midas holy
rebel has staged a dramatic comeback
which places him once more in the
worlds limelight.
The little Hindu mystic. who has
led midas millions toward national
ism, recently scored a series of no.
table successes. They have culmi-
mated in a virtual agreement between
Hindu and Mohammedan communities
of India on most of their outstanding
differences.
Thus one Of the last barriers to
real political unity Of midas $50 ,000.-
900 has been removed and Gandhi's
position has been strengthened enor-
mously.
Fresh from triumphant tour of the
northwest frontier province where a
year ago he would have been arrested,
the apostle of peace and passive re-
sistance now exercises almost dicta-
to-ial power in British India.
Once an implacable opponent Of the
British. who Jailed him seven times,
Gandhi now is their champion.
This is due largely to Britain's re-
cent conciliatory policy. The better
understanding between the British
and Gandhi has introduced a new
spirit Of mutual confidence and hope
throughout India.
The country never has been so
peaceful. Police who in the past in
dulged in violent charges in suppress
sing nationalist agitators and in filling
prisons with demonstrators now stand
idle at street corners.
Because of recent British conces-
sions to Ireland. many influential In
dams believe India will have an au-
tonomous government within a few
years.
Gandhi now Is concentrating on

the adjoining counties. Mr. James is
expected to run well, but so miles from
Philadelphia. the story Is different
Mr.. Pinchot has a considerable fol-
lowing in many of the western and
central counties.
Already some Democratic leaders
amazed and worried by the extent of
the dissension in the Democratic ranks
are talking about harmony" after
the primary has been held Post
master General Farley, chairman of
the Democratic National Committee,
has sounded of along these lines, and
so has Dave" Lawrence, the Penn
sylvania State chairman.
In these last, rather jittery moments
Of the campaign, many rumors are
going the rounds. One is that for
the sake Of Democratic harmony Gov.
Earle is to be given the senatorial
nomination and Mr.. Kennedy the
gubernatorial. 1t is even intimated
there is a deal Of that kind.
Another such rumor is that after
the nominations have been made, a
compromise candidate for Governor
may be selected-by the State Com
mittee and the national leaders--Wil-
liam c. Bullitt, Ambassador to France.
To bring that about the Democratic
nominee would have to withdraw. It
hardly seems likely that Mr.. Lewis
would relish that kind of thing if Mr..
Kennedy were nominated. Mr.. Jones
has said he IS in this race to stay.
A third story going the rounds is
that President Roosevelt and Senator
Gufiey both wish to be rid Of the Lewis
influence in Pennsylvania politics and
elsewhere. The idea is to have his
candidate, Mr.. Kennedy, beaten in
the primary. This sounds little too
deep. Also, it would leave Senator
Guf1ey out in the cold-unless the
Democratic nominees for Governor and
Senator were defeated in November.

STRIKE AT CIRCUS
QUICKLY SETTLED
Ringing Show Moves On to
Capital After Short
Brooklyn Tie-Up.

Barnum and Bailey Circus were
amicably adjusted tonight less than
two hours after issuance Of q strike

moval Of the big show" from Brook
lyn to Washington
John Ringing North, head of the
circus. and Ralph Whitehead. execu-
tive secretary Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Actors, who called the
strike, announced that differences had
been settled, and the workers went into
action to get the show loaded for its
road season.
Mr.. North reaffirmed q contract
signed last year by the circus with
the union, under which workers are
to receive minimum pay of $50 a
month with board and lodging. 1t was
announced. The closed shop also was
recognized, Mr. Whitehead said, and
Mr.. North agreed to the discharge of
all workers who do not Join the union
within five days.
The circus is expected to be on the
move within six hours. and will open
on schedule in Washington Monday
afternoon.
During the night laborers idled
about the show, and wagons remained
on the lot due to the union order for
no loading. Mr.. North and Mr..
Whitehead began conferences about 9
o'clock in bar near the lot.

vania has never before had a Catholic
Governor. The Earle-Jones ticket is
relying somewhat on that. However,
it is pointed out by the other side
that Gov Earle borrowed money from
a Catholic contractor. Incidentally
Gov. Earle has always been rated q
very wealthy man, and when it came
out he had borrowed from McCloskey
not from a bank-people wondered
why. His opponents point out that
Gov. Earle's father, a man Of great
wealth, left the Governors share Of
his estate tied up in "spendthrift
trust" and the Governor can spend
only the net income.
Jones Nomination Likely.
Both Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Kennedy
are claiming victory in the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial struggle. The
Jones people say they will win by at
least 100000. The Kennedy followers
raise the ante-to 100000. Unless the
scandal charges have substantial ef-
feet. 1t is likely Mr. Jones will be
nominated. 1t is the judgment Of
most observers in the State that Mr..
Jones will win anyway. Mr.. Jones has
the advantage of q real political or
ganization-which Mr.. Lawrence and
Mr.. Earle and Mr.. McCloskey stole
away in large part from Guffey.
Mr.. Kennedy is relying principally
on the G. I. o. for organization and
such part of the Democratic organi-
zation as Senator Guf1ey has been
able to retain.
The race on the Republican side Of
the fence is just as hot. Mr.. Pinchot
has the support Of many Of the more
liberal Republicans. He has some la
Dor support. He has many of the Re-
publican county leaders with him
whom he has not had in his eaTlier
races. Mr.. James, on the other hand,
has the major portion Of the Repub-
lican organization on his side. In re-
cent weeks more and more of the old
line. regular Republicans have lined
up with Mr.. James. At first it was
argued that Mr.. Pinchot, with q rec
ord Of labor support and farm support
in the past, would be the strongest
candidate to oppose the Democrat in
November. But since the Democratic
scandals were brought up and the
fierce schism in the party was threat
ened, many Republicans have come to
the conclusion they can win anyway
in November-and they much prefer
Mr.. James to Mr.. Pinchot. Also the
James people have attempted to pin
on Mr.. Pinchot the John L. Lewis
label, on the theory that Mr.. Lewis
will support Pinchot in November If
Kennedy is beaten by Jones for the
Democratic nomination.
II Mr.. James can hold the great
majority Of the organization and con-
sentative Republicans in line, he will
defeat Mr.. Pinchot The decision
will be made probably in Philadelphia
where Mr. Pinchot has never been
strong. II Mr. James rolls up q lead OF
10000 over Mr.. Pinchot in the city
he is pretty sure to win, it is said. In
