Miles and 350,000,000 People Britain Holds Reins Br the Associated Pre The giant patchwork known as India if confusing complex of racial, religious, cultural and political rivalries over which Britain gradually gained aomi nance in the 17th and 18th cen turiei. India's size end difficult geo graphical nature make for lack of unity. It is rich In manpower and natural resources. With 6,000 miles of land frontier and 5,000 miles of sea board. India has an area of more than 1,808,000 square milesa and crowded population of more than 330,600.000. These millions between one- fifth and one-sixth of the earth's population present all shades of social and economic vam tion, from fabulously rich ma ha rajahs to poverty-stricken "un touchables." Over 200 Languages With the blood of many races in their veins, these peoples speak more than 200 languages and dialects and practice many religions, some of them bitterly antagonistic to one another. The vast Hindu group has 240,000,000 adherents in India, the Moslems some 77,000,000. India Is divided politically Into British India of 11 provinces which are governed by repre sentatives of the crown and a native India of more than 860 states ruled with varying de grees of authority by native princes who hold their power through treaties and alliances With BriUin. The conflict between the great Hindu majority and the militant Moslems, who provide some of the best fighting men In the Brit ish Indian army, and that be tween the native princes, who depend largely on British sup port to hold their thrones, and the independence-seeking masses led by the congress party, have complicated Britain s problems.

NAZIS EXE STRICT IN REPAT Only Trickle of Refugees Al lowed to Pass to Former Homes in Occupied France STATE GUARD OFFICERS ' ARE GIVEN PROMOTION ' Camp Murray, Wash., Aug. 9 W Major General George A. White, commanding the 41st di vision, announced the promo tion of Major Charles A. Meek, Eugene, to Lieutenant Colonel to command the 1st battalion and Captain H. G. Maison of Salem to major in command of the 3d battalion. By Lloyd Lehrbas Moulins. France, Aug. 9. W) Only trickles of refugees, mostly plodding afoot or riding bicycles, are allowed to pass through this bottleneck of the Jealously guarded pathway to their former homes in German occupied territory. A day of watching the lines of war-wanderers seeking to return to their home towns or farms traveling on foot m automo biles, bicycles and wagons-dis- closes that a major element in the slowness is the rigid control the Germans exercise along the border between the occupied and unoccupied zones. Rigid Examinations (Moulins lies along the Allien river In central France, about 160 miles southeast of Paris and 30 miles north of Vichy, tempor ary capital of the Petain govern ment.) Every returning refugee must have papers approved by French and German control stations and must undergo examinations by the Germans before being per mitted to pass the barriers. Under German instructions, the French have established control barriers two mile from Moulins, leaving a "no man's land" between these barriers and a German control station at a bridge over the Alllers river outside Moulins. Refugees have piled up at these barriers like driftwood, while waiting long periods for examination of their papers. Sub Given Up London, Aug. 9.

(The Italian high command announced the sink ing of the Oswald earlier this week.) PROPOSED AS PHASE OF DEFENSE EFFORT Omaha, Neb., Aug. 9. (fPI A vast network of plants where Uncle Sam would hoard frozen foods against the day of national emergency has been proposed here as a defense measure. Roger Sprague, an engineer who for more than 20 years has been engaged In the construc tion and promotion of locker plant facilities for frozen foods, likens the proposed system to a "line more formidable In the event of war than the Maglnot and Siegfried lines combined. Sprague said steps have been taken to present the plan to the national defense board. As evi dence of its practicality, he pointed to the operation of 2.700 frozen foods and locker plants for patrons from the Pacific northwest to the eastern seaboard. The plants now being used he described as well-equipped food processing, storage and distributing centers, serving the needs of communities In which they are established.
