...from the cot on which he nearly fasted to death (TIME, May 22 et seq.) rose shriveled Mahatma Gandhi last week. With Mrs. Gandhi at his side he hobbled out of the palatial villa at Parnakuti, near Poona, loaned him for his fast by eccentric Lady Thackersey. Creeping into a motor car he was driven into Poona at a dusty 50 m.p.h. to face the executive committee of his All-India National Congress Party. The committee was restive, if not rebellious. Many of the Mahatma's followers feel that his fasts to impress Indians with the need of abolishing...
...billion-dollar Japanese holocaust at Shanghai (TIME. Feb. 1, 1932 et seq.) several million dollars worth of damage was done by Japanese bombing planes. If and when they ever return, China hopes to be ready with a hot reception. Lately 75,000 slant-eyed Shanghai patriots cheered a zipping U. S.

This cleaned up the mess resulting from Moscow's badly bungled trial of English engineers for sabotage (TIME, March 27 et seq.). Because two of the engineers, Leslie Thornton and William MacDonald, were held imprisoned in Russia (the others being "deported" to England where they became heroes), George V broke off British-Soviet trade relations with an order in council. Last week Comrade Litvinov agreed to free the two engineers...
...near Hopewell. N. J., "to provide for the welfare of children, including their education, training, hospitalization and other allied purposes without regard to race or creed." Col. Lindbergh organized non-profit-making High Fields Corp., to hold the estate. Since the kidnapping of their son (TIME, March 14, 1932 et seq.) the Lindberghs have lived at the Morrow home in Englewood. N. J. and, fearing morbid exploitation, have refused all offers for the Hopewell estate...
