* AVNESTY POSSIBLE IN INDIAN REVOLT Gandhi and Others Affected by Suggested Leniency After Adjournment. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. Br Racio to The Star. LONDON, England, July 19 (CD.N.). ~—Mahatma Gandhi and hundreds of other imprisoned Indian Natonalists | will probably be granted an amnesty| shortly after adjournment of the British Parliament, which is expected to be around August 1. ‘That is only one of the important de- velopments in the Indian situation fore- cast by informed persons here. All are in the nature of a truce and decidedly do not constitute a settlement of the Indian question, however. Fresh crises are bound to ensue, no- tably next January, when the semi-an- nual installment of the land tax is due and is likely to go unpaid if the Na- tionalists are not satisfied with the re- sults of the London round-table con- Zerence scheduled for October. Meantime the latest developments regarding India and the probable march Ol; events may be summarized as fol- ws There will be no debate on the Indian situation during the present sitting of Parliament. The government had al- ready made that decision, and it was confirmed by episodes in the Fouse of Commons yesterday which offend the British sense of decorum. Two Left Labor members were suspended amid scenes of great disorder, one for defying the speaker’s ruling against the Indian debate and the other for his dramatic, Cromwell-like seizure of the mace, which is the symbol of parliamentary authority, as a protest against the stand of the House and his own party. Visit Authorized. As the newspapers point out today, the situation does not parallel that the time of Cromwell, in 1653. The fair leads all except members of the ex- treme Left wing to agree not to discuss India until the round-table conference. Simultaneously, Viceroy Lord Irwi of India has authorized two distin- guished Indian moderates to visit Gandhi in prison “unofficially,” seeking a basis of peace. I am informed that the people believe that this is a prelude to an amnesty to all Nationalists not accused of acts of personal violence and a truce until after the round-table endnfarence—a respite welcomed by both sides. The round-table meeting, of course, would be meaningless unless the Na- tionalist elements participated, and such participation is impossible while Gandhi is imprisoned. An amnesty is impossible while Parliament is sitting, owing to the die-hard opposition, but adjournment is nearing and the gov- :(mment is expected to act soon there- ter. The second important development 1s stul not announced here, but I learn authoritatively that the government definitely agrees to ipation of the opposition parties the round-table parley. The degree of representation is still being debated, but Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald agrees that success ‘will be impossible without the co-opera= tion of the Tories and the Liberals. He desires, however, a government major- ity and he hopes to protect himself against opposition dominance of the round table by appointment as char- man of the round table of some non- partisan legal luminary enjoying gen- eral confidence. Simon Report Question. Meanwhile the government skillfully leaves the air unclear. The vice regal lgeech fosters the impression in India that the government will enter the I THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, LOCAL STATION TO GIVE PILOTS WEATHER WARNINGS Soon this mew airways radio station near Camp Springs, Md.. will broadcast hourly weather data to pilots on the At- lantic coastal airways passing through the Capital.

MANTELLS POLIGE HE KILLED AUNT Remark About Mother Caused Fatal Beating, Says New Haven Prisoner. By the Associated Press. | NEW HAVEN, Conn., July 19.—Ber-| nard Thompson, 26, of Dorchester, Mass., today was on his way back to Saugus, Mass., following upon a confes- sion_to police here that four days ago he had beaten with a blackjack his| Mrs. K.

Police say Thompson told them the fatal beating was administered Tuesday morning because of “vile remarks“ the woman detective had made about his mother. round-table conference open-mindedly and unbound by the recommendations of the unpopular Simon report. Mr. MacDonald’s declaration, and even more the speeches of government lead- ers and members of the House of Lords, encourage precisely the opposite im- pression in England. Here is it under- stood that the Simon report consti- tutes the basis of the round-table dis- cussions. Clearly the October session is going to disillusion either India or Great PBritain. While the truce and round-table mee are under way, both sides in this titantic struggle are preparing for the fresh battles which ::1 not improbable after the round e, Indian Nationalists are organizing the country to resist payment of the land tax if India is dissatisfied with the round-table results. That form of resistance would be more momentous than the salt tax defiance, and in turn the British are preparing to deal with it more harshly than they dealt with the salt violators. The January tax collection date will see 30,000 additional British troops in India prepared to suppress resistance by whatever measures are deemed most efficacious. Should the Labor govern- ment still be in power, it will probably sustain hard-boiled methods, the same as a Tory administration would. ht, 1930.) CROWD SWARMS SHOP FOLLOWING ALTERCATION Emergency Squad Called to Harlem to Rescue Man After Clash With Woman. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 19.—A clash be- tween the white pmglilewr of a hat cleaning and shoe shining establish- ment in Harlem and a colored woman patron brought a crowd of 400 colored men and women to the shop today and missiles were thrown before police ar- rived and took the shopkeeper into custody. Philip Nassenbaum and an assistant were in the shop when the woman en- tered and asked for a hat she had left to be cleaned. She thought part of the ribbon on it was missing, and in an argument which followed, Nassenbaum, she charged, knocked her down. ‘Two passing colored men saw the al- tercation and shouted. A crowd swarmed to the scene, but Nassenbaum held it off by throwing brushes and other articles until a patrolman ar- rived He locked Nassenbaum in a rear room and called an emergency squad. Nas- senbaum was led to the police station unharmed and was held on an assault charge preferred the woman. MEXICAN LEADER ON TRIP Mayor of Mexico City Visits New York on Vacation Tour.
