Rise Against British,
Toxic Radio Advises
Natives Of India
Germans and Jops Devote
Thousands Of Words
To Newest Crisis
BY the Associated Press.

By THE Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Aug. 10.-The Toxic
radio yesterday broadcast the advice
OF the Toxic newspaper Yomiuri to
the natives of India to rise against
their British oppressors."
The broadcast was typical OF the
days output of both the Berlin and
Toxic radios, which devoted thou
sands of words to comment on the
Indian situation, with Berlin at
tempting to stress Britain's embar-
rassment and TOXIC trying to place
the struggle on racial basis.
"Airplanes and tanks cannot hold
down 100000, 900 Indians If they are
determined and united in their fight
for liberation" Yomiuri was quoted
as saying. Such action would Ger
tainly have full success because
picked Japanese troops are standing
in readiness on the Indian-Burmese
frontier to take up the fight against
the British troops.
But should India hesitate and
agree to continue useless negotia-
tions the country would forever re-
main unfree."

BY the AsSoclateo Press.
LONDON, Aug. 10-Confidence
that the government in India would
be able to deal with the grave situ-
uation confronting 1t was exhibited
today in London, where the arrest
of Mohandas K. Gandhi was in
oorsed by an ofIicial British spokes-
man as an act of political courage
necessary to protect the United Ma
tions from "a stab in the back"
This characterization of Gandhi's S
mass campaign of civil disobedience
came from L. S. Amery, secretary for
India, in a broadcast to the United
States last night.
What India is up against" he
said, lis nothing less than a delib-
crate campaign to sabotage her war
effort and the war effort of all In
6ians, British, Americans or Chinese
who are on Indian soil"
In another broadcast, directed to
Britons at home and abroad, Mr.,
Amery declared:
Prompt and firm action by the
government OF India has, believe,
saved India and the Allied cause
from grave disaster"
The British press for the most
part found no fault with the gov
ernment's action In arresting
Gandhi and other Congress leaders,
although editorial writers expressed
regret 1t had been necessary to re-
sort to force.
A dissident note came from the
London Daily Herald, Laborite news
paper, however, which said the pre-
cipitate imprisonment" Of Gandhi
seemed evidence Of weakness rather
than strength in the mind Of the
government Of India"
The Glasgow Herald said the
whole situation was "a grim and
sorry reflection on British-Indian
relations" and the London Daily
Mail said Britain was paying for
past weakness"
Strong criticism came from the
Communist party. from the leftist
International party and the India
League-which said 1t represented
the All-India Congress party in
Britain.

Voters Unit
Distributing
Vital
why Buy Defense
Bonds?' Among
Topics Covered

Distribution of thousands Of
broadsides on vital subjects relat-
ing to the wartime Government is
being carried out by members OF
the League of Women Voters
throughout the country, according
to the national president, Miss Mar
guerite NJ. Wells.
Holding a press conference at her
headquarters here yesterday. Miss
Wells pointed out that authorization
for a program Of dispensing in
formation to the public was OBJ
tanned at a special emergency coun-
Gil of the league in January.
Although 1t is too early to esti-
mate circulation Of the newly in
augurated broadsides, one Of the
most popular issues, entitled "Why
Buy Defense Bonds?" already has
sold from $4,000 to $4,000 copies.
A new leaflet, This Is Ration
ing" will go out from headquarters
tomorrow. In it the league has an
swered three questions apt to puzzle
many citizens: why Ration"
when to Ration7" and "Who Ra-
tion?"
Declares Bigger Taxes
Are Better Taxes"
In distributing the broadSides
league members generally are en-
ploying "hand-to-hand" methods,
Miss Wells declared.
One woman who Is an invalid
incloses copies Of the various re-
leases in the letters she writes, Miss
Wells reported.
Another has aroused considerable
interest by greeting those she meets
with the query: Did you know big
ger taxes are better taxes?" The
question Is the title Of another
league leaflet.
Reports also have come to ma
tional headquarters from business
establishment In Maryland where
volunteer payroll deductions for de-
fense savings were increased after
employees were circularized with the
leagues leaf1et on Defense bonds.
PIanS Are DISCUSSED
For Biennial Farley.
Members of the local leagues buy
the broadsides at q small cost from
national headquarters, where they
are prepared by staff members.
Miss Wells also discussed plans
for the leagues biennial convention
to be held in Chicago April 28-May
/. 1t will be the organizations first
general session held with the Ma
ton at war, as the league was Or
ganized only % years ago in Chi
cago.
Pointing out that the league was
formed when the country was en-
barking on a postwar era, Miss
Wells said a review of its objectives
shows the league has "steered re-
markably straight course on foreign
affairs"
The record doesn't show any mis-
taken isolationist remarks" she
added.

Prince GEORGES Area

An amended zoning ordinance
which would bring the Metropolitan
Area in Prince Georges County
under the county's master zoning
plan is now being prepared, officials
of the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission said
yesterday.
A proposed ordinance. including
the Suitland area and that part OF
Greenbelt not Government-owned,
was approved by county residents
attending a hearing Monday at the
County Service Building In Hyatts-
vile. Including the Metropolitan
Area in the ordinance requires ar
amendment.
Maps and plats, showing highways
and potential parkways, are being
drawn in connection with the new
plan. A hearing on the amended
ordinance will be held at a future
date.
The general plan adopted Monday
included large part of the county
which is attempting to eliminate
"spot zoning" through a master
plan. It was announced at the
hearing that $4,000 for improve
ment of already acquired park
areas in the county is now being
spent.
