MAHATMA GANDHI
 IN SERIOUS SHAPE

Rajkot, India, March 6-(UP)- Mahatma Gandhi, on hunger strike "even unto death," was so weak today that he could not sit up in bed without becoming giddy, and his physicians feared that he might lapse into unconsciousness at any moment.
 As Gandhi entered the fourth day of his fast, a dispatch from BenareS said AS persons had been killed and 200 wounded in communal rioting during which police were forced to fire on a mob and as the result of which several houses were set afire.
 There was no connection, it was said, between these riots and the Hunger strike of Gandhi in protest against the refusal of the young Thakore Saheb of Rajkot state to carry out promised reforms.
 He had been advised that he was in no condition to fast, but he in- sisted. His heart action was weak and his general condition was suf- ficient to cause his physicians in creasing alarm. He had lost two pounds-his weight normally varies between 85 and 105 pounds-and his blood pressure had risen from 168 to 180.

Williams re- prieve ended Sunday morning but the state pardons and paroles board recommended a one-day stay be- cause 1t did not want anyone to be executed on Sunday.
