- TR APPROACHE N INDIA UNRES Gandhi’s Plan to Personally Lead Bombay Movement Portends Trouble. By the Associated Press. LONDON, May 2—Plans of Ma- hatma Gandbi to lead his civil diso- bedience movement personally in Bom- bay if 100,000 followers wearing home- spun can be assured him were re- garded here today as portending pos- sibly the most serious developments yet of the present unrest. While there has been no act tending to confirm published statements yester- day that arrest of the Satyagraha lead- er was imminent, there was general opinion that the government could not hold its hand much longer if the Ma- hatma persists in this intention. Gandhi has thousands of followel in Bombay already enrolled, with re- cruits coming constantly. Uncertainties on the northern frontier continue to arouse apprehension here. The correspondent of the Times of Inai India, jJust returned to Bombay, said that agitators were linking the Satyagraha movement with the govern- ment's child marriage act, which the northwest tribesmen hate. He sald they were saying that the same act was di- rected also against use of the veil by women and other Moslem customs, Te- form of which recently cost Amanullah Khan his throne in Afghanistan. In Gujerat Gandhi now is making definite appeals to the Moslems to join the Satyagraha cause and help the fight agaiust the salt tax, drink, and to promote khaddar or hamespun. A group of students in Calcutta made & bonfire today in the college square of newspapers which are continuing publication. Efforts were made to in- terfere with the newspaper dealers in furtherance of resistance to the gov- ernment’s censorship ordinance.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 2.—While | Ohio National Guardsmen maintained | order at Ohio Penitentiary, Gov. Myers | Y. Cooper set today aside to study the report of his.board of inquiry which in- vestigated the prison fire disaster of April 21. ‘The investigation was completed last ‘week, and the report was submitted first to State Welfare Director Hal H. Gris- wold. ‘The governor will decide where re- sponsibility shall be placed for the fire which claimed the lives of 320 convicts. He has given no intimation as to what action he plans, although it is con- sidered unlikely that he will recommend any change in the administrative ver- sonnel of the penitentiary. ‘The apparent tranquillity existing aft- er National Guardsmen put down the mutiny of 1,300 idle prisoners was broken late yesterday, when fire damaged a tent in the barbed-wire stockade in the prison yard. The blaze was quickly cx- tinguished by troops while the 600 prisoners now quartered in the stockade were in the mess hall. Guard officers at first said a prisoner started the fire, but later blamed a discarded cigarette. ‘The convicts were placed in the stock- ade pending repairs to their cell blocks damaged during the disturbances. The remainder of the mutineers were given temporary quarters in other parts of the prison. The repair work is expected to require 30 days, and indications are that the National Guardsmen will be kept at the prison during that time. SENATE I. C. C.
