INDIA: Victory for Gandhi

disciples is Jawaharlal Nehru prime
minister of India. Nehru dashed into
the crowd saying, Kill me first"
The crowd dispersed.
AS the fast stretched into the fifth
day, doctors warned that because of
his age and health, the Mahatma
could not Withstand a long ordeal.
Gandhi responded, eff the country
has any use for me, this medical warn
qg should hurry the people to close
heir ranks"
One hour and As minutes into his
sixth day of FAST Gandhi achieved
his goal. Leaders Of India and Pakis-
tan gave him their pledge Of "com-
plete unbroken friendship" among
MoSlems and Sikhs.
That night, FIVE hours after taking
nourishment, the Mahatma addressed
a huge prayer meeting from a micro
phone in his bedroom. His voice was
weak but he spoke clearly: Fulfill
ment Of the pledge will double my
intense wish to live a full span of
life doing service to humanity -. at
least 125 years, or as some say, 1873
years"
The leaders adopted Gandhi's
seven-point rogr m guaranteeing
minorities freedom Of movement and
livelihood in India, safe conduct to
refugees and restoration of seized
Moslem dwellings, business places
and mosques. They set up a commit
tee Of $50, of all religions, to meet
nightly for the duration Of the crisis.
The Indian government endorsed
the peace movement quickly by an
nouncing amnesty for all Palxistan
troops who had faced criminal or
court martial charges for any action
from August IS Independence Day.
to january 10.
One day later at Lake Success,
representatives Of India and PaSistan
agreed to submit their differences
over Kashmir to a t1ree-membert
United Nations mediation board.
Two days later Gandhi escaped q

prayer meeting.

Steel & Voluntary Controls


Steels share in fighting rising liv-
ing costs was placed in the hands of
rs big producers this week under the
new Republican anti-inhation law.
Secretary of Commerce Hartman.
acting under the law, appointed the
steel men to an advisory committee
to supervise this key industry's vol
untary ALLEGATION program. They will
consider agreements to carry out the
law aimed at controlling inhationary
forces.
The committee will meet in WASH

formula for sharing scarce steel sup
pies with essential users.
Although steel production rose last
week to SO per cent Of capacity. high

short Of mounting demand.
The Senate small business subcou-
mlttee on steel told the industry il

a gray market" in steel which had
been estimated at $1,O0O,OOO,OOO.
The Office Of Defense Transports-
ton summoned its steel industry COM

mittee reported this week that con-
struction Of 10000 freight cars

Britain
Porlioment Resumes

Parliament Resumes
Refreshed by month-lohg Christ
mas holiday, Parliament reopened this
week. Although legislators enjoyed a
vacation, Prime Minister Clement
Attlee and his cabinet did not. The
domestic crisis, winter hardships. Pal
eStine, India, Burma and the shift in
policy since the breakdown of the Big
Four conference month ago have
been the subject Of frequent cabinet
deliberations.
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin re-
viewed for Commons the government
policies that have been recast. On the
eve of his speech, there was specula-
ton that Britain now is prepared to
abandon her mediator" role and team
up with the United States to counter
Soviet expansionist moves.
In broadcast to the British people
January 3, Prime Minister Attlee
said: Russian Communism pursues a
policy which threatens with a new
form Of imperialism the welfare
and the way of life Of the other ma
tons of Europe"
Parliament has come around to the
feeling that the fate of western de-
mocracy in Europe hinges on keeping
Germans fed. The near-starvation in
Germany and Communist inspired
sabotage Of the Marshall plan held
the center of interest.
The immediate problem is one of
food. Britain is helpless to relieve this
situation because of her own austerity
rations but the United States is ship
ping additional supplies.
The German diet in the bizonal
areas last week averaged HOO caIo-
ries daily, The British and Americans
promised to maintain a diet of 1900
calories, if they could. Actually, it has
seldom gone above ! 400. Imports this
week boosted it to 1900 calories but
it will be months before the average
German in the bizonal areas again
gets l,4OO calOries a day.
The British Foreign Office blames
the present food crisis primarily on
German failure to confscate farm
wheat. It is recognized, however, that
German farmers actually acted no
worse than French or italian farmers.

Mississippi
Secret Police

S0AS9
Gov. Fielding L. Wright of Missis-
sippi said this week he hopes the
secret" state police force given him
two months ago by a special session
OF the Legislature will be replaced at
the regular session by a permanent.
uniformed agency.
The act creating the Mississippi
Bureau of Investigation permits its
m m b ers to be unidentified and
authorizes them to investigate any
violent cases. They can arrest with
out warrants.
The NIB has been called a Gees
tapo" by its opponents.
The governor declined to disclose
how many are in the NIB.
If a permanent, uniformed state
law enforcement agency is created.
Gov. Wright said, it should have
about 40 members and be empowered
to assist local law agencies on request
or on petition of citizens.
It's capacities should include en-
torcement of the state prohibition
'aw, not covered in the present NIB
lct. Creation of such a force has been
opposed in the past by sheriffs on the
grounds that it would interfere with
home rule.

AgePrObJem
In Industry

MORE than one-third Of the
4V4 100000 men in the ma
tons labor force last year were
As or over.
AT As, the average man still has
a life expectancy of 25 wears He
has 20 more years before he can re-
tire with Social Security benefits. The
industrial system, however, with its
increasing emphasis on mechanics
ton and youth, viii have less and less
room for him.
The next depression will hit work
ers over As particularly hard. said
EVAN Clague, commissioner of the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics, forecasting q
grave national problem unless some-
thing is done.
The eventual choice that will have
70 be made, Clague wrote in Labor
Re0letO, publication of the Labor
Department, is either to lower the
present 65-year retirement age under
Social Security to remove older work
ers from the labor market. or take
steps to assure continued usefulness
OF these age groups as productive
workers.
Once life's balance wheel took care
OF this by itself. Death and injuries
were so high that worker Of As was
one OF the few surviving veterans Of
his group.
Science Raises Life Span
Now, however. medical science and
industrial safety standards have in
creased the life span and the worker
population is larger. Machines have
reduced the number Of workers nee
essary and efficiency experts have
placed the emphasis on speed, agility
and ability to maintain pace.
It won't take any major depression

Blood
Rich Vein for Research

The huge new Red Cross blood pro-
gram, already underway across the
nation, calls for nearly 400 city and
suburban blood-collecting centers, and
hundreds of mobile units gathering
and supplying blood in rural areas. Its
goal is at least 100000 pints of blood
annually.
Whole blood and plasma will be
made available free to any patient
but the exciting potentialities from
blood research may bring even great
er benefits.
Plasma, after the red and white
cells are removed, is particularly
beneficial in counteracting shock. A
protein, serum albumin, from plasma
also aids in shock or hemorrhage and
is a deterrent to "dropsy."
Another tiny protein makes measles
a mllder disease, and aids in prevent
ing hepatitis, a liver inflammation.
One fraction contains fibrinogen,
needle-shaped particles that form
blood clots. FibrinOgen also is a nat
uraI plastic substance and is made
into fibrin foams or sponges to stop
bleeding, and into thin transparent
plastic films useful in brain or nerve
surgery.
Red blood cells, without plasma, are
used to treat some cases of anemia, or
may be made into a paste or powder
to aid healing Of wounds.
These discoveries, many made in
wartime when there was enough do
mated blood to permit such research.
have only scratched the surface.

Whuts in q Name?
The president and the general SUI

S. Cushman of st. Paul, Mimi, league
president for 10 years, and George w.
Crabbe Of Baltimore, general superin-
tendent since 1910.
At its 35th annual convention in
Pittsburgh, the league contemplated
a change in name to either the Ma
tlonaI Temperance Federation or the
National Temperance League. The
change was urged by younger mem
Ders who think they can fight liquor
better under a new name.
Meanwhile government report
showed that distilleries sold $12O. OOO.-
600 less hard liquor in the third quar-
ter Of 1947 than in the same three
months of 1916.
