ALLAHABAD, India, Feb. 12
The ashes and charred bones of
Mohandas K. Gandhi were scat
tered from a brass urn into the
holy Ganges river at its confluence
with the Jumna today and, in the
belief of Hindus, India’s assassin
ated “Apostle of Peace” thus join
ed the immortals in heaven. De
vadas and Ramdas Gandhi, the
martyred leader's sons, tilted thd
urn and spilled the cremated re
mains into the muddy green holy
water from a white-painted war
time “duck”.
A crowd estimated at between
2,000,000 and 3,000,000 lined the
funeral procession or massed on
the sandy river bank. A3 the ashes
touched the water the multitudes
joined in a great roar of “Mahat
ma Gandhi Ki Jai” victory to
Mahatma Gandi. Some wept, some
stood mute, their hands clasped
before their faces.
ATLANTA, Ga„ Feb. 12—Rob
ert P. Boylan, chairman of the
New York stock exchange, said
today that the current commod
ity break represents a “healthy,
corrective” break, and the mar
ket should now stabilize around
present levels.
He believed the commodity
prices had passed their peak and
should level off despite rallies
and fluctuations. The stock
market has suffered a sympa
thetic slump for psychological
reasons he said. Boylan based
tiis predictions of a stabilized
commodity market partly on the
government’s reported plans to
buy more wheat and the dom
estic and overseas favorable
crop prospects.

use it to the best advantage or to
work with its neighbor states to
ward currency stabilization and re
duction of trade barriers.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10 —
A threatening telegram tonight
prompted police to arrange a
precautionary cordon around the
Golden Gate theater tomorrow
to prevent possible “stink-bomb
ing” by jealous Sinatra fans pro
testing thf opening engagement
of Johnnie Johnston, whom rival
fan clubs voted “the singer of the
year.”
....“We strongly urge you to can
cel Johnston’s booking,” said the
telegram turned over to police ’
by Mark Ailing, theater mana- -
ger.
“Until Johnston renounces his
claim to ‘the singer of the year’
we will discourage patrons and
they will regret it,” said the
wire, which included disdainful
references to the singer’s abili
ties.
