Here's what he said: By JAMES A. MILLS NEW YORK. July 11—In a world of power politics and dicla- tors, the most powerful man in the world sits cross-legged on a mal beneath the Indian sun. He rules not by force or violence hut by the sheer power of his per- sonality and spirituality. H¢ s Mohandas K. Gandhi, who wears no uniform except a loin- cloth and holds no job except that of India’s private Citizen No. 1 He hates adulation, pamp, violence and intolerance. And instead of] exhorting followers to thrust out their chins, he tells them to turn their other cheek. Yet he wields more influence than any fuehrer. To 360,000,000 dusky Indians, he is both political leader and spiritual guide. Many worship him not merely as a saint but as a god, His followers com- pare the bizarre little 96-pound wraith to Buddha, Confucius and Christ. Gandhi’s influence is felt far be- yond India. The hearts of English- men 4,500 miles away skip a beat each time he skips a meal. To my mind he is one of history’s most remarkable figures. Duce Too Bullyish Because of the gulf between him and the dictators, I was anxious (o get his reaction a few years ago when he talked with I Duce. After the interview he greeted me with a sly smile and whispered: “That. fellow is too much of a buly and a blusterer to suit a per- son like myself.” Gandhi derives much of his tre- mendous power from the fact th: his non-violent tactics exemplify the national character. Indians are the most submissive people in the world. Many refuse even to Kkill a mosquito. Under his leadership the back- ward people have made phenome- nal progress toward self-govern- ment. Of the 11 British provinc in India, nine are now adminis- tered by Indians. ! It is Gandhi’s dream that India will have obtained independence from the British Empire — or at least dominion status—before he dies. He is now 70. Fasts Effective His threat of fasting till death is still effective in foreing concessions from the British. If he should ever die as the result of such a fast, the reaction among the natives might be extremely serious. Despite his power, the British find him preferable to Subhas Rose and - similar Indian leaders who clamor = for immediate freedom. Most Britishers realize that Gan- dhi's death would be as great a loss to England as to India because he is the only one who speaks with full authority on behalf of the In- dian masses and who advocates | toleration in dealing with the Brit- ish government. Though aging, he is alert and as- tute and speaks English easily. Hz aesirés passtonately to visit Amer- jca but doesn’t feel he can spare the time now. One reason the United States appeals to him is that before 1776, it too was striving to break away from the British empire. | Gandhi still drinks his goat’s milk daily; and has often asked me to share it with him. He drinks the milk not to be eccentric, but be- causé he has found it helps relieve his chronic complaint, high blood pressure. The puny leader lives like the most abjeét untouchable. He dress-| es in a loincloth and “dhoti” | (shawl) because that is the nation- | al garb of the untouchable: In fact, he calls himself “untouchable.” All| | his money goes' to the poor.

After a 700-mile trek into Hollywood Sights And Sounds B; febbia Cosams HOLLYWOOD, Cal., July 11.—Next to Hedy Lamarr, she’s probably had more ballyhoo compared to her screen accomplish- ments than any young glamor gal out here, but she's getting her first real chance at stardom in “Winter Carnival” (which, like Hedy's “big” picture, was made by a studio to which she is not under contract.) Although she’s one of the nicest girls in town, really, she likes to say “I CAN'T BE NICE!” : She’s talking about pictures and her, parts in them—and she’s glad Ann Sheridan doesn’'t have to play pretty ingenues. She'd rather be the sultry, husky-voiced “other woman.” More inter- esting, she says. She's under contract now at the same studio which turned her down four years ago because, they said, she “looked too much like June Travis,” which she doesn't. A few months later they called her back, &pparently because she no longer looked like June Travis, and signed her up—thus ending some of the drear- iest, bluest, hungriest months in the history of Dallas, Texas's Clara Lou Sheridan. the Clara Lou was a contest winner. She’s one of the rare screen survivors of Paramount’s “Search for Beauty.” Once here, she was a goner for Hollywood. She played small parts in Paramount pictures, leads in some of their westerns—she really knows horses—and wound up with a film called “Car 99” —*“on which I rode right out of the contract list.” After that it was a question of sticking it out. There is noth- ing less popular in this town, among movie makers, than an ex-contest winner. Clara Lou—by this time Ann—was helped by money from home but even so she didn't tell the folks what a I | “Came and Get It Has a Special Meaning . Tasty food, efficient.service and an atmosphere truly home-like sound the old call of “Come and Get 1t” . . . aPERCY’S tough time she was having. Nearest she came to starvation was the weekend she had just 22 cents in her pogketbook. But Ann is resourceful. She called up a friend who knew about: what cocktail parties were going on .and where. An Ann went along and cased her appetite on HORS D'OEUVRES. To this day she blushes when she meets a canape or a caviar sandwich. She knows she has a figure but she isn't conscious, of it. She wore black silk tights (as for “Dodge City”) and took a shower bath (for “The Roaring Road”) with no more self-consciousness than she shows when wearing her favorite old tweed coats and unpressed slacks. She doesn’t mind showing her legs for pictures _but she hates that “successor to Jean Harlow” build-up they tried to give her a while back. Thinks there’s no such animal as a second anybody. She's red-haired—touched to a darker shade now for the camera—and her lashes and eyebrows are her own. So are her eyes, great big hazel ones. She’s 24 and a big girl, 5 feet 5 and weighing between 124 and 126 pounds. ‘She has a new mink coat and silver. foxes, but seldom wears them. She likes crowds, laughter and fun; onions and big ham steaks. She had a husband, Edward Norris—but the marriage didn't last. [ Her ambition: “To be an actress—ha! ha!” ] al
