ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON. TUESDAY, JULY 21, 1942. FOUR French's 5-Hitter Blanks Pittsburgh By JUDSON BAILEY (Associated Press Sports Writer) Last night Lefty Larry French, , the veteran who usually starts a game about once in ten days, went to the mound in Pittsburg on one day's rest and hurled a five-hit 5-0 shutout for the Brook lyn Dodgers against the Pirates. French's appearance on the mound was unexpected. He had been knocked out in the sixth in ning at St. Louis Saturday, suffer ing his first defeat of the year, and was not in line to work for several days. But he went about his task thoroughly, never getting into trouble, and racking up his 11th triumph. He was supported by a ten-hit attack that included Camilli's 14th homer of the year and three hits by Medwick as well as by four double plays. This increased Brooklyn's nat ional league lead to (il games and the Dodgers received more glad tidings when they were Inform ed that Peto Reiser, their star centerflelder who was Injured at St. Louis Sunday, would be re leased from a hospital today. All other teams In both major leagues were idle yesterday. ircif i i rtiorr LCdaues I .J aS standings (By the Assocluted Press) Paoiflo Coast Team W L PCT.

Threat to World Seen in Gandhi's Action in India (By DeWltt Mackenzie) (Wide World War Analyst) With much reluctance one re cords that among the gravest of the many threats which beset the allied cause in this fateful sum mer is the latest move of the All India congress (nationalists), backed by Mohandas K. Gandhi, to compel Britain to withdraw completely from rule of Hindu stan. One uses the phrase "with much reluctance" because there can be no American who doesn't sympathize with the urge of any people to be Independent. But the quarrel between the Indian na tionalists and the British has ceased to be a family affair and now threatens the security of the whole allied world. The working committee of the All-India congress has adopted a resolution demanding the with drawal of Britain from rule of In dia. Ghandl has supplemented this with the disclosure that If the British don't acquiesce he will lead "a mass movement of the widest possible scale," and this Is understood to mean non-violent civil disobedience. Though Gand hi abhors violence in any form, he nevertheless admits that it may result. Dilemma For Britain Britain is damned if she does and damned If she doesn't. Should she accede to the demand and withdraw from rule which she won't It would plunge the country Into chaos because of the bitter political, religious and so cial conflicts. Now no one would for a minute suggest that Gandhi has any thought of injuring the allied cause, or injuring anyone, for that matter. Indeed the congress resolution states it isn't Intended that the British be banished phy sically from Indian territory, that the United Nations be handicap ped in fighting the axis or that the way be paved for aggression against India. I know Gandhi personally and reverence him as one ot tne great spiritual leaders. Menace To World The fact remains, however, that the nationalists have been blinded by their burning desire for free dom. The congress resolution, aimed only at obtaining India's Independence, might be the in strument which would destroy the Independence of America and all the other allied friends of Hindustan. This fateful resolution still has to be ratified by the general com mittee of the congress at Calcutta on August 8. and public reaction among the United Nations makes It clear there's widespread hope that such drastic action may be postponed until after the war.
