Death Of Eldest Son
OF Gandhi Reported
BY the Associotsd Press

BOMBAY. India, June 28-The
newspaper Harlan said yesterday
that Hiralal M. Gandhi. 81. eldest
son of the late Mohandas K
Gandhi, died June 10 in Bombay.
Harlan. founded by Mohandas
Gandhi, is published in Ahmedabad
Bombay newspapers have published
no reports of the sons death.
Hiralal, eldest of Gandhi's four
sons, long opposed his fathers re-
ligious and political principles, but
became reconciled with him in 1888
Several years ago he created a
sensation in India by leaving his
fathers Hindu faith and embracing
the Moslem religion. He changed
his name at that time to Abdullah
Gandhi. About six months later he
became reconverted to Hinduism.
When Hiralal was young, Mohan-
das Gandhi stopped his sons educa-
ton and placed him in menial work.
This was when the family was living
in South Africa. 1t was reported in
later years that Mohandas regretted
this experiment.
At the time of his reported death,
Hiralal was living in obscurity in
Bombay. He was not known to
have attended his fathers crema-
ton following the assassination Of
Gandhi last January 80.
