Gandhi's public announcement of
his plan, some disciples said they
feared that, should he die, India's
-Moslerns would blame the
Moslems and avenge him with q
terrible slaughter.
Gandhi, lecturing the Sikhs in
the garden, became so agitated his
granddaughter had to help guide
the wooden spoon in his shaking
hand to his lips as he, took the
last mouthfuls of his breakfast.
Sikhs Weep at Admonition.
Interpreters said he told the Sikhs
that their group, though a small
minority, was powerful and should
not use force against helpless Mos
lens. Two bearded members of the
group wept as he spoke.
Two Ministers of the Indian Do
minion-Maulana Abul Kalam Azad
for education and Rajkumari ,Amrit
Kaur for public health-were among
his visitors.
He told the latter that health of
mind and soul was as much her in
terest as physical health. He de-
clared to the former that he was
wasting his time visiting Gandhi
and ought to be back in his Office
teaching people, among other things,
to keep the peace. OF each he de-
manded:
What kind Of department are
you presiding over?"
Refers Repeatedly to Death.
Gandhis announcement referred
in more than one place to the pos
sibility of his death.
Death for me would be a glo-
rious deliverance, rather than that
I should be a helpless witness Of the
destruction of India, Hinduism,
Silkism and Islam," declared Gan
dhi, whose following numbers many
thousands.
THAT destruction is certain If
Pakistan insures no equality of the
status and security of life and prop
erty for all processing the various
faiths of the world, and If India
copies her.
Pakistan, mostly Moslem in pop
ulation, and India, mostly Hindu,
were created British Dominions in
partition of the subcontinent last
August Is.
They now are at odds over war
fare waged by Moslem tribesmen on
the northern state of KaShmir,
which has joined India. India has
accused Pakistan before, the United
Nations of supporting N&tribesmen
The case comes up before the Secu-
rity Council Thursday.

tol came fresh indications that
Republican lawmakers are not CON-

tration's estimate of $500, ,000, 900 as
the precise sum needed to operate

Senator Vandenberg observed yes

Senator Hickenlooper, Repub-
lican, of Iowa, a committee men,

Jarman Differs With COP.
Differing with his Republican
colleagues on the House committee,
preventative Jarman, Democrat,
of Alabama said he is against load
ing the bill to authorize the Mar
shall Plan with too many details
and directives."
I'm against spelling out every
little thing" Mr.. Jarman said. TT
seems to me sufficient for it to
carry the broad general principles
and that we should have confidence
in the President, the administrator
and the Secretary of State to carry
them out"
But Mr.. Vorys said the measure
sent up by President Truman is
substantially one without limita-
tions on the administrator and
without directives as to his duties.
He added:
my surmise is there will be both
limitations and directives put in
am hopeful the State Depart
ment will suggest them, but If neces-
sary, I'll undertake that job my
self"
Mr.. Chiperfleld said he would &C
along with Mr.. Vorys on that, be-
cause there certainly ought to be
limitations on powers and directives
as to what should be DONE"
