That was our first food In seven

Then these people who knew moth

Actually only .02 of an inch OF

The rain was particularly heavy

Potomac again overflowed its banks
and sent about six inches of water

proceed slowly, however.
In Virginia, number of second

Imprisoned Gandhi
Reported Deprived
OF Papers, Radio
Drastic Treatment Seen
Likely to Leod to
New Hunger Strike
By the Associated Press.

BOMBAY, Aug. II. - Mohandas
K. Gandhi. the frail generalissimo
of the Indian passive resistance
tody in the Aga Khan's palace last
night that he was reported deprived
of newspapers, the radio, friends
and the right to write letters.
A few Congress leaders who were
not yet Jailed expressed the opin-
ion that such, treatment--far more
drastic than any in the peacetime
past-might cause Gandhi to start
another fast, although partisans had
attempted to dissuade him from
such action. Reports he already was
fasting we're denied
Despite precautions, Gandhi's
voice reached the outside.
Circulated among his followers
was a list of instructions to the
people of India" promising success
of the campaign within two months.
Congress adherents said these had
been withheld in anticipation of
possible negotiations with the Brit
ish.
People Urged to Make Salt.
The instructions were:
l. There shall be hartal (clos-
ing of shops and business houses
throughout the country in all cities
and villages of India"
2. The people were urged to make
salt whenever they can do so,
whether in the coastal or inland
areas" This was the basis for start
ing the civil disobedience movement
in 1880 in protest to the government
salt monopoly.
3. Nationwide refusal to pay land
taxes was urged on peasants in the
villages.
4. All students over Is were urged
to quit school and take up leader
ship of a mass movement to replace
jailed leaders.
S. All civil employees should resign
and those who do not have the
strength to resign should refuse to
obey orders designed to suppress
and crush our people"
6. A general order directed SOL
diers how to conduct themselves in
the struggle.
Women Asked to Participate.
7. People in the states ruled by
the maharaias were urged to par
ticipate equally in resistance to the
government, just as the population
in British India.
8. Women were asked to partici-
pate in the mass movement.
9. Every man and woman in the
country was asked to wear a badge
with the new do or die motto.
10. Hoping to avert communal
fights which have disrupted pre-
vious campaigns, an appeal was
made to 'all Hindus. Moslems,
Sikhs. Parsis and Christians to par
ticipate"
II. An appeal to all to do his part
but to keep the whole movement
non violent in all parts of the
country.
IL. Let us not forget that spin
ming is so dear to Gandhi. If mil
lions spin. it will administer a pow
erful stimulant to the struggle"
This is our final struggle the
document added.

By the Associated Press,

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-British Of
ficials are pairing down to the mini
mum requests for least-lend aid.
Edward r. Stettinius. jr, lease lend
administrator, said last night fol-
lowing his arrival aboard a trans
Atlantic clipper.
''Lease-lend is by no means a one
way picture" he explained. The
British are providing many things
for us on lease-lend terms. They
are housing and transporting large
numbers of American personnel.
They are providing us with many
kinds of war materials. They are
providing us with facilities for
maintenance and repair of equip
ment and they are making available
storage warehouse space"

He declared he was convinced
Britain was making splendid" use
of her own resources and the ma
terials and supplies the United
States is sending her
Sir Walter T. Monckton, we'll
know British barrister, said on his
arrival aboard a flying ace that the
rationing system seemed to be op-
Grating more efficiently" in England.
"One or two successful prosecu-
tions against the black markets" had
served to deter many British from
buying food at illegal prizes, he de-
clared.

Sir Walter was chief of the British
Information Services in the Middle
East, during which time he served
a brief period as acting Minister of
State. He said he came here in an
unofficial capacity to attend meet
ings of the American and Canadian
Bar Associations.
Another OF the Is passengers, Miss
Maxine Davis, a magazine writer of
Washington, said the British have
no patience" with Mohandas K.
Gandhi and his proposals. They
feel that whatever mistakes they
have made concerning India they
don't deserve to be let down like
