May 16 (AP) The eyes ot all India centered to day on the little village of Dhar- asaana. where the strangest scene of all the extraordinary drama witnessed recently In this country was enacted. A contest in "civil resistance" took place between Mrs. Sarojinl Naldn, heading a group defying the salt laws, and police. Mrs. Naidu. who heads the civil disobe dience movement now that Mahat ma Gandhi and Abbas Tyabjl are in Jail, headed her volunteers for the government salt deposits at Dfaarasaana intending to raid the salt pans. The police halted the party, whereupon Mrs. Naidu and her followers squatted on the road while the police formed a cordon around them. The odd situation continued all day. No ona was allowed to pass the cordon with food for the volunteers, and no volunteer who left the police lines was permitted to return. Meanwhile, the woman leader and her flock sat In the road, chatting and spinning native cloth. It was believed she would be joined by a second party to morrow anless she agreed to leave Dharasaana without attempting the salt raid. v - Other events in India today ' were shaded by the happenings of Dharasaana road. The usual crop ot arrests and sentences was har vested, but there were no serious disorders. m A "red" procession more than a mile long, organised by the youth league of Bombay, paraded In the Forat area of the city tonight, carrying red flags. Among the marchers were large numbers of women and children, wearing or ange ebes and red scartes. They cried 'Long live the revolution" as they strode along. ShinglesT Is .
