...midst of a desultory conference at his Wardha headquarters, Mahatma Gandhi peered at his dollar watch, stood up, hurried out into a blazing sun. Waiting beneath a tree in his orchard were Mr. & Mrs. James Henry Roberts Cromwell (Tobacco Heiress Doris Duke). Gandhi shook hands, led them into a bare cell where they all sat on the floor. Voluble Mr. Cromwell began to expound his economic theories, argue for a "reformed capitalism." Gandhi thought that in India that would make a bad situation worse. Mrs. Cromwell turned the conversation to the Mahatma's campaign against Untouchability, which she said...
Instantly 65-year-old Mahatma Gandhi reached for his pad of telegraph blanks, sent out a circular wire to leaders of the Indian National Congress, demanding a general mobilization of protest "since this child is unquestionably unfit to marry a man of such ripe years." Hindu reporters, most of whom have a sneaking sympathy for such bridegrooms, described the rejuvenated Hindu as "defiant," as "resolved to have his rights...
...Delhi's Legislators could neither pass nor reject this bill, which lay last week some 5,000 miles away on Parliament's great oak table, but they could endorse or denounce officially an epochal measure already roundly cursed by Mahatma Gandhi's unofficial Indian National Congress.

At the First India Round Table Conference the Native States' turbaned and bejeweled Rajas and Maharajas plumped for Federation, chiefly in order to be early on a bandwagon which they thought was sure to start. Today, five years later, India's potentates are getting restless...
President of Theta Phi is Dr. Frederick Bohn Fisher, 52, lately of Ann Arbor's First Methodist Church, now of Detroit's First. Long a missionary bishop in India, Dr. Fisher became a good friend of St. Gandhi whom he calls "Boppo" ("Little Father"). An able, vigorous preacher, he arises daily at 4 a. m., gives 20%, of his income to his church, 55% to all causes. Entering his new job with gusto, Dr. Fisher promptly produced a quotation to justify Theta...
