Indian Leader Says
By the Associated Press.

BOMBAY, June 23-Dr. Pattabhai
'Sitaramayya. member OF the ALL
India Congress Party Working Com
mittee, today said British proposals
for an interim Indian government
neglect "one-third of the area of

DR.. Sitaramayya made the state
ment in an interview preceding the
opening Monday at Simla of con-
ference of Indian and British leaders
to consider a government plan made
public by Lord Wavell, viceroy OF
India.
A serious defect in Lord Wavells
proposal, DR., Sitaramayya asserted
was the absence of any recognition
of the political aspirations Of people
in the Indian states.
Even in an interim agreement
he declared, ANY transfer of powers
must have wider application than
to British India alone. This distinc-
ton between British India and In
dian India is artificial and should
be eliminated in any solution of the
national problem.
For example" DR.. Sitaramayys
continued. it is hoped that the set

this possible when one fourth of the
populace is ignored?"
DR.. Sitaramayya acknowledged the
Wavell proposal was an all-party
offer made by the British coalition
government before 1t dissolved, but
he suggested the fact was without
great significance because he doubt
ed IF any one of the % political
parties in Britain stands for Indian

AGAINST Abdication
BY the Associated Press.

BRUSSELS, June 23.-With King
Leopold reported adamant in his
refusal to abdicate, the presidents
OF the Belgian Senate and Chamber
OF Deputies returned tonight from
his Austrian castle home and pre-
pared to call Parliament into ses-
sion next week.
Ganshof van der Meersch, chief
prosecutor of wartime collabora-
tors, stayed behind with the King
leading to new speculation that he
may accept the latter's offer to form
. new government.
Robert Gillon, Senate president
and Franz van Cauwelaert, Catho-
lie president of the Chamber of Dep
uties, conferred with Premier Achille
van Ackerr shortly after they ar
rived by plane after a 24-hour visit
at the Kings headquarters.
Leaders Summoned.
The summoned leaders of the
parliamentary bodies to a meeting
tomorrow afternoon to arrange a
session possibly early in the week
King May Seek Vote.
Belgians who talked with them
tonight said they gathered the i'm
preston that King Leopold was
ready to take his case to the people
IN a'national election.
IAN Associated Press dispatch
from King Leopold's Austrian
headquarters said the two parlia-
loo 1aft
the parting comment that for
the sake of our country, this stu
alton must not continue much
longer" There is no hint of the
outcome of their discussions, the
dispatch said
"a spokesman for the king
told reporters there that he was
studying books on political eco
Monies and social questions" and
getting all the information he
can about past and present
events.")
Amid new talk Of an election to
determine whether King Leopold
should return to his throne. a lead
ing Liberal editor commented that
"the king has possibly so per cent
OF the people with him. A king
ought to have more backing than
that, but Leopold appears to think
that's enough for the time being"
May Continue in Exile.
Sources friendly to the monarch
said King Leopold might consent
to continue his exile in Austria
until there is a vote. However,
they ninimized the possibility that
the king would abdicate merely
through failure to have new gov
eminent organized by politicians
who were elected before the out
break of the European war.
1t is believed that other Belgian
factions would be unable to block
an election if the strong Catholic
and Socialist parties support the
proposal and the king assents. The
Socialists, Liberals and Communists
form an anti-King coalition.

Acker said it was extremely I'M

Conference Committee, as to wheth-
err or not he agreed with those white
persons who say "you people are
too aggressive for your rights and
you ought to be patient, ETC." DR..
Title said that he did not agree
with the position. "The Negro
should use every method, short of
violence, to obtain his rights, white
people must not sit back and urge
patience on the part of a Negro but
should see to it that Negroes are
given their rights. So many of my
Negro friends tell me that Negro
soldiers trained to kill will not
be content to accept Jim Crow ac-
commodations when the war is over
and I know that that is true, but
the use of violence will set the
cause of the Negro back" DR.. little

C.C.-l'm 10 and am in love with
a girl 16 who is the mother of a
baby. She tells me she loves me,
and acts like she does and l have
never seen her with another boy,
but she always talks about how fine
boys are. The least little thing l
do, she wants to quit me. We've
been going together five months
and she has already quit me eight
times. Every time, however, l out
talk her. Should l try to outtalk
her and marry her this time, or
should l go on and try to forget
her? She says she loves me and
l love her.
Ans.-The fact that your girl
friend is showing independence and
a will of her own is evidence that
she doesn't intend to be trifled with.
She trustingly and naively gave
