Wordlow Speaker
To Student Group
AT Cdrlton COLLEGE,

James T. Wardlaw, executive
secretary of the Minneapolis Urban
League, was speaker in the Great
Hall on the campus of Carleton
College, at Mortified, Mimi, on
Tuesday, November 81. His SUBJ
ject was "The Challenge of Color
Caste to American Democracy"
Speaking before a social prob
lens group, he told students that
caste is being used in its normal
sense and not as a metaphor, in
that we do have a breakdown of
caste in America determined BY a
persons skin color.
Wardlaw stated segregation is
the principal tool used in perpetu-
ating this heritage. He was a guest
on the campus during his stay
there.

No Gloomy Report
OF His Gil Life
Ex-M.P. Relutes

1hree years and nine months in
the armed services is a long, long
time. If you don't believe it, ask
ex-Staff Sergeant Gabriel Boud-
reaux, 1915 Fifth Ave. S., Mime
apolis. He's just out of CT life
after that period spent in khaki, %
months of which he was in New
Caledonia with the 26Oth Military
Police Company.
Boudreaux, who formerly lived
in Crawley, Louisiana, is now max
ing his home here to be with his
wife, the former Lois Evelyn Sto-
vail. He didn't bring back as
gloomy a report as some of the
soldiers returning from New Gale
donia. His commanding officer was
from California, and we'll liked by
the men in the outfit.
When they first landed, they
found the usual propaganda had
preceded them, stories that Negro
soldiers were savages with tails.
Boudreaux said the boys ignored
it and went about their duties. 1t
wasn't long before they were max
ing friends with the people and
getting along all right.
His unit was cited for efficiency
and good conduct. At one time,
quite a bit of differing was going
on, but the M.P.'s broke it up with
out losing any friends among the
natives. The dances given by the
outfit were popular, he said, and
often attended by white soldiers
from other units.

|Gandhi Assumes Role
OF Adviser as Indian
Leaders Begin Meeting
BY the Associated d Press.

ny Inc ASboClute0 FEeSSs
SIMLA, June 25.--A conference
Of Indian leaders called by Lord
Waycll, British viceroy, to discuss
revision Of the government of India,
will be held today as scheduled, an
official announcement said. but
Mohandas K. Gandhi will sit on
the sidelines.
Gandhi announced last night
that he would not take an active
part in the conference. However,
he told Bulabhai Desai, one OF the
men invited to attend, that he would
serve as an adviser both to the Con-
gresS party and to the viceroy. He
was quoted as saying he felt that
Maulana Abul Kalan Azad, presi-
dent of the congress, should repre-
sent the party.
Desai said Gandhi's decision not
to take an active part should not
be taken as q move harmful to the
chances OF success of the confer
ence.
A communique from the Vice
Regal. Lodge last night indicated
the Moslem League would take part
in efforts to end the current political
deadlock In India. The statement
was issued while Mahomed Ali jim
nah, president of the Moslem
League. and members of his organ
ization's working committee were
IN session in the Cecil Hotel.
Lord Wavell held separate inter-
views with India's top leaders yes
terday in an effort to be certain
the conference would open as
planned.
Jinnah had reserved his decision
on participation until he could give
the viceroy opportunity to clarity
the British proposal to set up an
interim government in which In
dians would hold all portfolios ex-
cept the ministry OF war, which
would be retained by Wavell.
Gandhi conferred with the viceroy
for about two hours yesterday. On
his emergence he was surrounded
by an eager crowd. which almost
knocked him over.
With the aid of police a path was
opened for Gandhi, who exhibited
signs of irritation. He snatched a
camera from a Sikh. photographer,
tried to tear it apart and then hand
ed it to his secretary, who carried it
away.
