Gandhi sat on a sheet-covered mat, his hands folded under a white cotton blanket. A shorthand expert was on one side; on the other were two women disciples, one of them Madeleine Slade, daughter of a British admiral. A "wide gulf" separated Britain and India, began the Mahatma. There was no "prospect whatsoever of a peaceful, honorable settlement" until Britain let the Indians determine their own status. And then: "When this is done, questions regarding defense of minorities, princes and European interests automatically will be dissolved. ...

...most completely unpredicted defeat was that of Dick Thomas who was defeated in the 155 pound class by Ted Barber. Thomas found the small mat a decided handicap when he was trying to work his switches which generally go so well.

...Grace Line did not ask its broadcaster to pretend that there is no war at sea. In his broadcasts last week Davis reported a couple of sinkings, all the home-water problems involved in the Navy's proposed new five-year ship building program (see p. 77). These mat ters served more clearly to point up Grace Line's sales talk: the contrasting security of Western Hemisphere waters. Lest listeners forget, Announcer Larry Elliott takes over for about two minutes of each program to tell of the bright, balmy, beckoning Caribbean, plug Grace Line's bargain offer...
