All India Halls Release
OF Gandhi, but Illness.
Causes Apprehension.
BY the Associated Press.

DS lit HSSQClAIel tTeSS.
NEW DELHI. india, May g.
Widespread satisfaction greeted the
release today of Mohandas K.
Gandhi, Indian Nationalist leader
detained for 81 months as a political
prisoner in the AGA Khan's summer
palace in Poona, but intimates
feared it marked new crisis in
the illness of the frail disciple of
India's masses.
The press of all shades of opinion,
Nationalist as well as English owned,
welcomed the freeing of Gandhi.
The government released the IA
year-old leader Internationally, cit
ing failing health, after having con-
fined him in August, 1912, for politi-
cal activity which it regarded as
hampering India's resistance to
Japan.
His intimates here said Gandhi Is
suffering from both high blood pres
sure and kidney ailment and will
depend for recovery on a spiritual
source of strength beyond the con-
ception'of the Western World" His
son, Devadas Gandhi, expressing the
opinion that his father was seri-
ously i'll, said Gandhi would scorn
most medical ministrationS.
Released with Gandi were DR..
M. D. D. Glider, who attended him
in detention; Miss Madeline Slade,
daughter of an English admiral and
supporter of the Indian National
Congress for many years, DR..
Sushila Nayad and Pyare Lal Nay
var, a private secretary.
Gandhisrelease came without un-
toward demonstration by his fol-
lowers, but many of them, acting on
an earlier announcement that he
would be freed, gathered at the
gates of the palace to greet him.
He looked cheerful but tired and
was taken Immediately to Parma
kuti," palatial residence of Lady
Vital das Thackersey. She is the
widow Of Bombay merchant and
an old friend of Gandhi. 1t was
understood Gandhi would be taken
to Bombay Monday.
Gandhi and those released with /
him were enjoined against making
any public statements or giving |
interviews.
