Many Arrested In
Gandhi’s Death
BOMBAY, India, (/P) — J. S. i
Bharucha, Bombay police com-,
missioner, said yesterday six per- ]
sons named by Mohandas K. Gan-;
dhi’s assassin are in custody.
“Authorities are definitely on
the track of those behind the
widespread conspiracy against the
Mahatma,” he said. “Two of the
most important suspects are at
large, but half a dozen implicated
by the actual assassin are in police
hands.
“The motive was that fanatical
Hindu plotters feared Gandhi’s;
policy toward the Moslems was
bringing a solution of the com
munal problem in the Moslem’s'
favor.
“We are uncertain yet whether
iprime minister Jawaharlal) Neh
ru and others in the government
were marked for death as well as
the Mahatma, but it is hardly pos
sible that the plotters were stupid
enough to believe that they could
set up a government of their own.” j

“There is nothing wrong with
the American economy, or with
the situation in Europe, that can
not be remedied and saved by
American production," he said.
