Gondhi to Advise Government ' rial

New Delhi, May 17 - (UPy In formed sources said today that Mo- handas K. Gandhi probably will advise the All-India Congress Party to accept the British government plan on trial basis.
 This expectation contrasted with reports from MoSlem League quar- ters that M. A. Jinnah probably would remain aloof from the pro- posed interim regime although he may permit individual league menl- bers to join it. ,,
 Viceroy Wavell opened a series of conferences with both Congress Party and Moslem League members to explore possibilities for estab- fishing the new regime. ~

of the labor-management commit tee, at the Chamber of Commerce office.
 Less than 20 of the HOO veter- ans who are seeking employment are women, Parsons said. The total number is about 600 less than the figure for January, he revealed, a fact which shows some progress in absorbing veterans into local business and industry.
 On the other hand, Parsons said. veterans have been registering at the USES. office at 8 rate of l75 a week over the past two or three months. He added that the chief aim of his agency is to step up the rate at which veterans are being employed in order to make headway.
 Mrs. Mary Dewey, who is now heading the USES. Job Develop ment program for the state, gave examples of what other commun- ties have done to solve these prob lems. She mentioned Bridgeport as an outstanding example of CO., operative community effort which has resulted in more than doubling the rate at which veterans are placed in jobs.
 After the discussions that fol- lowed, the committee was unani- nous in agreeing that prompt acc ton is called for. As initial steps MT. Hart and other members will determine the advisability of call ing meetings of manufacturers, re- tailers and other groups to inform them of the problem and secure active cooperation.
 Others present at meeting were Frank J. Green of the Chamber of Commerce, Nancy Delaney, di- rector of the Veterans Advisory Center, Ronato Ricciuti of the c I. O., Lawrence M. Duryee of the Connecticut Light & Power Com pany, and Leo Molloy, assistant manager of the local USES.

in the activities of the church, I'm
Sunday School work and in the
singing of songs. We shall all
ways remember him for his sweet
voice in song. He was one of the
best bass singers we ever listen
ed to. Possibly this was the first
great characteristic of his life. The
second was his fine personality.
He made friends wherever he
went and to know Lawrence was
to love him and become his friend.
And as it has pleased Almighty
God to call him from us and to
transplant him to the eternal
realms of joy and bliss, let us
all thank God for having let him
live with us here on earth and
strive to meet him on the shores
of Heaven where no partings will
ever come.
