India Decides 10 Stay
In Commonwealth as
Independent Republic
BY fs,s Asse<iosed Press

| LONDON, April 2S.-India has
decided to remain in a reyamped
Commonwealth Of eight free
nations headed by Britains King
George vi.
She will do so. a Commonwealth
announcement said today, even
after she becomes an independent
sovereign republic under a con-
stitution expected TO take effect
next August.
| India will continue as a full
member of the 62-year-old Com
monwealth. She accepts the King
as the symbol Of the free as
lsociation" it embodies and as its
head. but George VI will not be
monarch of India. An elected
president will take the place OF
the Kings governor general in
that Asiatic subcontinent of
SOC. .o00. 900 people.
The other members-Britain.
Canada, Australia, New Zealand.
South Africa, Pakistan and Cey-
lon-continue as constitutional
monarchies owing allegiance to
the King.
All Free and Equal"
All are defined as free and
equal members of the Common
wealth of nations freely Cooper
ating in pursuit Of peace. liberty
and progress" in the declaration.
1t drops the word dominion"
for independent member ma
tons"
This new definition of the Com
monwealth was drawn up at a
conference here of Prime Ministers
of all member nations except
Canada, who sent her Minister of
External Affairs.
Meanwhile, Indian Prime Min
lister Jawaharlal Nehru is sched-
uled to fly to Dublin to visit Prime
Minister John A. Costello Of the
Republic of Ireland which pulled
out of the Commonwealth Easter
Monday.
Mr.. Costello would not comment
on the Commonwealth declara-
ton, but London newspaper said
the declaration left the way open
for Ireland to apply for re-entry.
Ireland's Return Unlikely.
The Liberal News-C Chronicle
said something of this nature"
may lie behind Mr.. Costello's
invitation to Commonwealth
Prime Ministers to visit Dublin.
However, it noted that the
Commonwealth could scarcely be
expected to take the Irish Re-
public back so long as she main
tains her claim to Northern Ire
land. Northern Ireland is part Of
the British United Kingdom-a
Commonwealth member.
India, although a republic, will
still be entitled to preferential
empire tariffs. Her citizens will
enjoy full rights in Britain-even
to vote If they register as resi-
dents.

most practical funigant for farm
use. In a lined crib use ten
pounds for each 1000 cubic feet.
1t costs about $3.50 to $3.50, de-
pending on the amount you buy,
to fumigate crib containing 300
bushels of corn. If the crib is not
rat proof, double the amount of
high life you use.
A warm day when the temporal
ture is 20 degrees or more and
when the wind is not blowing is
the best time to fumigate. The
ersults are usually better if you
start the job in the late after
noon. Roll the tarpaulin or cover
back to the side. Take the re-
quired amound of fumigant in a
bucket, ard beginning at the back
of the crib, pour it evenly over
the corn as you move rapidly to
the front. Then draw the cover
in from the sides, tapping it in
the center, and get out as quickly
as possible.
If you have heart trouble, get
someone else to pour the fumi-

Unions Balk At Cost Of Bridges Perjury Trial

Continued from Page One) Robertson, are being tried with him on conspiracy charges.
 Government attorneys said they expected to present their first ma jor witness today. When the trial recessed Friday Lloyd H. Garner. immigration and naturalization examiner who represented the government at Bridges naturali- zation hearing, was on the stand.
 Tn his opening statement, assist ane U. s. attorney Robert McMil- Ian said the government would prove that Bridges was an active, dues-paying member of the com munist party of the United States for years before his naturalization.
 Garner testified that Bridges, Schmidt and Robertson all testi- fled that Bridges was not and had not been a communist.
 On cross examination, the de- fense brought out that charges of communist membership had been made against Bridges as early as 1889 and presumably investigated by the government before the hearing.
 Deportation hearings were held in 1889 and 1941. However, feder- al judge George B. Harris, hearing the present trial, has instructed the jury to disregard those hear ings.
