...Beyond his own shores he would find no new name that had skyrocketed into world consciousness during the twelvemonth. Mahatma Gandhi, 1930's Man of the Year, is still a prisoner of Britain in the Poona jail and his Indian followers are quiescent if not quiet.

S. soil* Well beyond it went the American Kennel Club, meeting last week in Manhattan, in revising qualifications for the ''American-bred" dogs. Under present regulations the pup has only to be born in the U. S. of a dam U. S.-owned at the time of her mating. Many a U.
