Memorial Service Held
At Pine Greek Church
BY HAMPTON OSBORNE

BY HAMPTON OSBORNE
Memorial services for Delbert
S. Beverly, who died at Angola,
Ind, where he was attending col
lege, April 4, a few hours after
being struck by a truck on the
highway, were held at Pine Creek
church Sunday by Elders Alex
Tompkins, J. H. Ford and Hamp-
ton Osborne.
Many visited the two grave
yards on the hill above + h e
church before services and dec
Grated the graves of those who
are
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judment day."
The church house was filled to
capacity and many stood just
outside and listened to the SER
vice. The crowd was one of the
largest that ever met at this
church. The services were simple,
just as Delbert would have wish
ed.
The Honey Camp choir sang
several hymns. Mrs. Delphia
Brumit read impressively h e
beautiful poem, "a Comrade
Rides Ahead"
Elder Ford offered prayer. Os-
borne spoke first, devoting the
first part of his talk to the life
and character and wonderful
abilities of the dead boy. He read
a message Of coincidence from
James Larkin Pearson, poet lac-
reate of North Carolina, and 9TH
ers, including message from the
pastor of Pleasant Lake, Indiana,
Baptist Church that Delbert at
tended regularly while he was in
school, advising that fitting me-
mortal services would be held for
him at that church at the same
time services were held at Pine
Greek. Elder Tompkins closed
with a moving plea to all to re-
pent and believe, a plea that Wis
IDLY affected his hearers, causing
them to press to the front as the
services closed to shake hands
with the ministers and others.
At the close of services, there
was reminder of old times as
the people living nearby sought
out those from distance and
urged them to go home with
them for dinner, an old custom
that was once a part of all rural
religious services.

The Democrats have an alter

would give them their best showing
of unanimity. That would be to
offer straight motion to send the
Republican bill back to committee

any specific substitute.
The Republicans undoubtedly
would have the votes to beat that
motion, too, but 1t at least would
enable all Democrats who disagree
with the Knutson bill for different
reasons, to stand together.
The dilemma facing Democratic

by the Asseeiatsd Press

ST. ALBANS, VT, Jan. 30.-Two
women and one man were reported
missing today when sudden blaze
destroyed the Jesse Weldon Inn
forcing 100 guests to nee, some OF
them by jumping out windows into
16-below-zero cold. S
At least 10 persons were injured
in the fire.
Fire Chief r. H. Sweeney said
firemen were unable to get into the

permanent resident OF the hotel,
and Fred Blake, Plattsburg, N. Y,
a salesman for the Grand Union
bookstores.
Chief Sweeney estimated the loss
at 100000 but real estate men said
it would cost $500, 900 to 100000 to
replace the building and its fur
nishings. The origin Of the flames,
discovered by the owner, George E.
st. Laurent, in a cocktail lounge,
was undetermined.
Discovery of the fire by Mr.. St..
Laurent as he made a last inspec-

averted possible heavy loss Of life.
He estimated that within Is minutes
after he started running through
corridors to arouse the guests, the
flames had spread through most OF
the building.
Mr.. st. Laurent said the blaze
spread so rapidly that many were
forced to Jump from windows in
their night clothes.
st. Adams City Hospital said 10
persons, 6 suffering from burns,
had been admitted for treatment.
One woman, Mrs. Molly Young,
Castleton, VT, suffered a broken
hip when she jumped from a Sec
ond-floor window. A man, identi-
fled only as q MI. Beamos, suffered
a broken back in leaping from the
third floor.
The scene of the fire had been
the site of an inn for 1856 years. The

In India as in South Africa he led
crusades against conditions which
he considered oppressive, but he
was loyal to the British crown until
Viceroy Lord Linlithgow in Septem-
Der, 1899, declared India at war with
the Axis without consulting any
Indian legislative body.
Gandhi's reply was . wartime
civil disobedience campaign with
independence as its objective. He
had halted prior civil disobedlence
campaigns when his people broke
away from his teachings of non
violence, but this time he allowed it
to run its course, and it was a course
marked by bloodshed.
In July, 1912, Gandhi demanded
that Britain hand over the govern
ment of India to the Indians and
then withdraw. The British re-
garded his political activity as ham,

All-India Congress adopted a reso-
luton advocating civil obedience
and Indian independence, but in
stead Of being placed in Jail the lit
tie leader was held in the Aga
Khan's ornate palace at Poona. It
was the sixth time he had been i'm
prisoned.
IT always get the best bargains
from behind prison bars" he once
said.
Public Reaction Feared.
His hunger strikes often
brought about compromises, for
the British feared public reaction
in event Of his death through
fasting.
He was informed in the palace
for 81 months and then released
His failing health was given as the
reason.
During that period he went on
21-day hunger strike In protest
against "the leonine violence
which he accused the government
of using to suppress the civil dis
obedience campaign, and against
the policy of locking up members Of
the All-India Congress Party. On
only two of his eight previous fasts
since 1918 had he gone that long
without food.
Lord Linlithgow tried to dissuade
Gandhi from his fast at Poona be-
cause of his poor health. He char
acterized it as political blackmail
for which there can be no moral

AHIee Plea for Peace
In India and, Pakistan
Due on Radio Today
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Jan. 30.-Prime Min
lister Attlee is expected to appeal
tonight to India and Pakistan to
bury their differences in the crisis
caused by the assassination of
Mohandas x. Gandhi.
Mr.. Attlee will broadcast tribute
to Gandhi on behalf of the British
government and people shortly after
the 8 pm. 6 pm. EST news period.
A government official said almost
anything might happen in India be-
cause of the shooting. The official,
who spent many years in British
service in India, said authorities
there would have to move fast to
keep the situation in hand.
Thank God, the assassin was not
Moslem, or all hell certainly would
break loose he said.
England is Shocked
Indians and Britons alike in Eng
land were shocked. Moslems, as
well as Hindus, paid tribute.
Habib Ibrahim Rahimtolla, Mos
lem high commissioner in London
for the Pakistan government, called
personally on Krishna Menon, In
dian high commissioner, ito give
him my personal condolences.
Gandhis portrait was hung in the
domed library of India house. The
400 staff workers there stopped
work until Monday. Shortly after
the first news arrived, an India
house official tackled piece OF white
paper on the wall outside. 1t said:
"Gandhi is dead"
Bareheaded Indian women in ira
ditional saris, and turbaned, beard
ed Sikhs wept as they read the note.
They passed through the door, half
closed as a symbol of the threshold
between two lives.
Dangerous to Be Good
George Bernard Shaw, long a
friend and admirer of Gandhi, COM
mented sadly:
cit shows how dangerous it is to
be good"
Lord Pethick-Lawrence, former
secretary of state for India and
Burma, said:
"It is a great shock to learn of the
cruel assassination of my intimate
friend, Gandhi, beloved teacher of
India. know that there is one wish
that he would have had above all
else. That is that his death should
not be avenged or made the occasion
for further bloodshed and violence,
but should lead to reconciliation
among all the peoples in the great
subcontinent of Asia"
Lord Pethick-Lawrence led the
British cabinet mission to India In
1945.
Appalling Calamity
The Earl of Listowel, who as Min
lister of State in the Commonwealth
Relations ONCE. is the official most
concerned with India and Pakistan,
said:
Hiss loss will be felt every
where. I feel that it is such an
appalling calamity that I can hard
ly gather my thoughts"
Listowel termed the assassination
CHASTITY tragedy"
Winston Churchill said today of
the Gandhi assassination:
II am shocked at this wicked
crime"
Mr.. Churchill's seven word state
ment was issued through his Con-
sentative Party's headquarters.

tackled the Attlee governments

and warned that the granting of
dominion status to India and Paki-
stan would bring violence

namely, by putting 1t in a motion
to recommit.
President Truman recommended a
$40 credit to each individual tax
payer and dependent, to be Offset
completely by the increase In cor
poration taxes. Democrats in the
House have shown no inclination to
put the $40 idea to test vote.
7 Administration supporters on the
Democratic side appear unwilling to
go as far as Mr.. Doughton pro-
poses. They are considering taking
the Doughton plan and offsetting
it in part by including Mr.. Tru-
mans $780, 100000 of new cor
poration taxes. This might hold
the net loss in Treasury revenue to
about $4,000 900, 900.
Mr.. Doughton told reporters, how
ever, that this is tax reduction
bill and that he did not believe any
new corporation taxes should be
imposed without holding commit
tee hearings to find out how they
would be applied.

Gndia's Prime Minister, ia
waharlal Nehru, described the
assassination of Gandhi as a
great disaster" the All-India
radio said today. NBC monitored
the broadcast in New York.
(The Dominion leader, his
voice heavy with emotion, an

mated in accordance with Can

The body will be taken from
Birla mansion tomorrow at 1880

and cremation will be at 4 pm.
Mr.. Nehru designated tomorrow
as a day of fasting and prayer
for all India.
Achieved Life's Goal.
Death came less than a year after
he achieved his life's main goal oil
independence from Great Britain
for the teeming subcontinent Of
India.
1t was in an effort to end COM
munal bloodshed that Gandhi UNI
dertook this month the last of his
many fasts-the 18th. After five
days in which he threatened to
starve himself to death, Gandhi
broke his fast January Is on the
pledge and counsel Of friends In
both dominions. He said they had
assured him of complete unbroken
friendship" between all communities
During the tense days of his fast
some of the more militant shouted
bitterly in the streets and before his
living quarters:
LET Gandhi die"
But there was every indication
that this was the view OF a tiny
minority, embittered by the COM
munal warfare.
Some Hindus, their womenfolk
violated in the communal upheavals,
had resented Gandhis pleas for
peace with the Moslems.
Peace Settled on New Delhi.
The shooting scene was patch OF
lawn on, the grounds of palatial
Birla Mansion, from which Gandhi
since December had been conduct
ing public prayer meetings. 1t was
there that he undertook his recent
fast. It was there also that Hindu
recently planted bomb which DAM
aged a wall but did not harm
Gandhi.
Gandhi undertook the recent fast
against the advice of his physicians
The effects of his gesture became
noticeable at once. Peace, how.
ever uneasy, settled over New Delhi
Two days later, January 81, the
bomb exploded near Birla House.
Gandhi asked police to be lenieni
with the young Hindu who threw it
I'VE should not harbor hatred,
he said. II will request the police
not to trouble him but to have COM
passion toward him and make him
see the righteous path"
Even as he spoke, the Hindu
spiritual leader was too weak to
walk from the effects Of his long
fast. He had been carried to that
prayer meeting on chair.
Seven point Peace Formula.
At one of his last prayer meetings
a listener asked Gandhi to proclaim
himself q reincarnation Of God
Gandhi laughed. The speaker per.

sisted and Gandhi, becoming i'm
patient, told him to sit down and
be quiet.
Gandhi had laid down seven
point program as a formula for
peace in India-his terms for SPAR
ing his own life through ending
his fast. t--e
He. required that Hindus should
fraternize with Moslerns ION I the
next Mohammedan festival, as in
the old days. He asked that mosques
which had been converted into
Hindu temples or dwelling places be
returned to their original uses.
He recommended that Moslems be
made to feel as safe as they had
before midas bloody riots; that
those Moslems who fed to Pakistan
be invited to return; that Moslems
be guaranteed safety aboard trains
He asked that social boycotts OF
Moslems be abandoned, and that
Moslems be given the, right to live
wherever they chose.
When he ended the fast, Gandh
said he was convinced that a pledge
of harmony given him by Indian
religious leaders would set the coun.
try back on the road to peace.
Blood Bath Feared.
Indian leaders had expressed feal
that Gandhi's death would mean 9
blood bath throughout the CONT
nent. But the Mahatma said when
he ended his fast that fulfllment OF
the pledge for peace would double
my intense wish to live a full span
of life doing service to humanity
10 at least 125 years or, as
some say, 1873 years"
The communal leaders in New
Delhi adopted Gandhi's program
and set up a committee OF 100 OF
all religions to meet nightly and re-
view the progress toward Gandhi's
aims.
An associate said Gandhi had in
tended to 60 to Pakistan and at
tempt to apply his principle OF
truth and nonviolence" in. India s
sister dominion.
Gandhi's wife died in February,
1914, while she and Gandhi were
confined by the British in the palace
of the Aga Khan. They were mar
ried at the ages of Is and lived to-
gether 81 years. After the birth of
her fourth son, she and Gandhi
lived together as brother and sister
at his suggestion.
Devadas GAndhi, one of Gandhi's
four sons, now 48, is editor Of the
Hindustan Times. Another son,
Manilal, is editor Of a publication
called Indian opinion in Johannes
burg, South Africa. A third son,
Harilal, long was an opponent of
his fathers principles, but was
reconciled with him in 1888. Gandhi
also had an adopted daughter,
Laxmi Gandhi, who worked for his
principles.

the daughter Of the late George
Cram Cook. She finally ran away
from Gandhi's "ashram" (model
colony at Ahmedabad, asserting
that Gandhi was a tyrant and that
he forced her to sleep on a bed OF
stones for eight months. She re-
turned to America from India.
Spent Twelve Years in Prison.
Everywhere Gandhi was recog-
nized as the master strategist of
the Indian independence movement
and the engineer Of passive resist
ance and civil disobedience move
ments which had such an important
part in the maneuverings toward
independence.
For these and other activities he
spent IL years in prisons and un-
derwent long fasts which sometimes
endangered his life.
When he returned to India In
1915 he ranked alongside G. r. Das
in the India Nationalist movement
and upon Das' death in 1925 became
