The War
TODAY
II. S. Stymied
In Solution of
India Problem
By KINGSBURY SMITH

International News service Sta1 Writer
THERE Is grave concern in
official circles in Washington
over the situation in India.
Hope Of securing the whole
hearted and loyal support Of
the Indian people for the
United Nations war effort Is
rapidly fading as a result OF
Great Britain's unwillingness
to seek compromise solution
Of the Indian problem, or 10
accept outside mediation.
1t is feared serious internal
trouble in India will be the
eventual result Of the House
Of Commons action in uphold
ing by a vote of 500 TO n the
determination of the British
government to refuse TO re-
open negotiations with Mo-
handas X. Gandhis All-Con-
gress Party leaders.
The attitude of the British
government is considered TO
make it extremely difficult, if
not impossible, for President
Roosevelt to offer American
mediation.

OFFICIAL WASHINGTON
understands the natural re-
sentiment which the British
feel toward the Indian politi-
cal leaders for attempting TO
take advantage Of Britain III
it's hour of peril to make
impractical demands for im-
mediate and unconditional in
dependence.
That Britain should feel in
tensely bitter at the effort of
Gandhi's party to enforce
these demands by a civil dis
obedience campaign against
British rule also is under
stood.
Nevertheless, American Of
ficials feel that the issues at
stake are too vital TO let senti-
ments influence the decisions
that are taken.
UNDER ORDINARY cir
cumstances, official Washing
ton would be disposed TO
accept without question the
British contention that India
is the problem of Britain and
Of no one else.
However, there are issues
involved which American Of
ficials feel make the Indian
problem of definite concern 10
this country, and to the
United Nations Generally.
These issues include:
THE fact that Britain
i asked the United States
to send American troops TO
India to help defend that
country. Thus, the lives Of
those American troops may be
endangered by internal devel-
opments in India.
1-India is the only remain
e. ing practical route for
sending substantial aid TO
China. Thus, the maintenance
of that route is Of vital con-
Germ to this country and
China, as we'll as to Britain
and the other United Nations
who recognize the Importance
of keeping Chinese resistance
going.
C-The United Nations have
- declared that one of their
principal war aims is the right
of all countries to enjoy politi-
cal freedom.
Evidence Of good faith in
respect to that pledge is con-
sidered of the utmost impor-
lance in order TO secure the
support Of the freedom-loving
peoples of the world 10 the
United Nations cause.
AMERICAN OFFICIALS
realize that the Indian prob
lem is so difficult il might be
impossible 10 achieve a salts
factory settlement 1T this
time even IL Britain was pre-
pared 20 make further con-
cessions.
However, II is felt that
Great Britain should at least
make the gesture so tina, the
responsibility for the failure
TO reach a settlement could be
placed squarely and unques-
tionably on the shoulders of

B'klyn Coach Charges Bears With Needless ROughneSS
Fekete Sure To Break Harder'S
 Big Ten Record
By HARRY CRIMSON
 NEA Service Sports Editor Ieu, Ynrk-Gridiron natnhnl.


 POURING IT ON: The score isn't the only department in which the mighty Chicago Bears pour 1t on, charges Mike Getto of the Brooklyn Dodgers. The Chicago Cardinals complained previously in regard to the same thing.
 Coach Getto points to torn liga- ments in the leg of Guard George Kinard, torn cartilage in the leg plenty of facial cuts suffered of Center Tom Robertson and while the Bruins were running over the Dodgers, 35-0, at Ebbets Field.
 "It might have been signifi- cant" stresses Getto, that Rob- ertson and Kinard were put out in the first five minutes. They are and we are short in center and key men against the T formation, guard replacements.
 Having more power than I've ever seen, the Bears don't have to take 1t out on opponents when they're down."
 Getto traces plenty of facial cuts to Tackle Joe Stydahar hay ing his hands heavily taped.
 When 1t comes to where the Bears have to get dirty" he con- cludes, that hurts me more than losing"
 The other pros don't ask the Bears to pull any punches.
 All they ask is that they keep them up.
 FLYING START: Unless he breaks 8 leg, Gene Fekete of Ohio State is sure pop to break the Big Ten record for rushing the ball by Fullback Pat Harder of Wis 63o yards, established last season consin.
 Tn four conference engagements, Sophomore Fekete rushed the pigskin 453 yards.
 Until Nov. 2, when the Buck eyes smothered Pittsburgh, 59-19, Fekete was the Iron Man of the club. Playing an average of 50

No Late Game
 For Notre Dame

South Bend, Ind, Nov. 12- (UP)-Notre Dame faculty heads today ruled that the Fighting Irish could not play in any post-season Bowl foot ball games.
 The Rev. John Cavanaugh, c. s. O.. university vice-presi- dent and chairman of the faculty board in control of athletics, said that long-stand- ing regulations prohibit par ticipation in post-seasOn grid games.
 The statement came after persistent reports that Notre Dame would be invited to play in either the Rose or Sugar Bowl games. Rev. Cavanaugh said no invitation had been received.

minutes in each of six engage ments. the Findlay youngster car- ried 127 times for 6l4 yards and an average of 483.
 But Paul Brown took Fekete out after he had sprinted 83 yards for the Scarlet and Gray's third touchdown following 10 minutes of play. He carried only thrice, netted 139 yards to swell his total to 753 and average of 5.8.
 Fekette is the best of fine set of Ohio State backs.
 They say sophomore Tommy James would be used even more than Paul Sarringhaus were not he from MaSsillon. Coach Brown leans backward in his attempt to remain free from the charge of favoring his own boys.

Les Horvath is another line- cracker who helps make Ohio States one of the nations real steamrollers.
 OLD COLLEGE TRY: George Munger of Pennsylvania discounts his teams mistakes and Navys shifting defense in giving you a reason for the midshipmen's un- expected victory over the dread Quakers.
 "It was spirit, more than foot ball, that beat us," explains Penn's coach. "The Middies played like made, deserved everything they got"
 It isn't the first time the old college try conquered what ap- peared to be insurmountable odds.
