least five persons were stabbed
and several others scared by

fired several times to disperse
Hindu-Moslem rioters and police
snipers manned rooftops in the

acid-throwers on sight.
Few disturbances were re
ported elsewhere in India, where
the celebration consisted main
ly of flag raising ceremonies and
muss recitations of a pledge to
achieve complete Indian inde
pendence. Dispatches from Lahore said
that seven Moslem leaders who
were arrested Friday night dur
ing a police raid on the office
of the league's national guard j
were released i-:ist nignt.

brides that they were mistreated
blamed the girls themselves for
their unhappy situations.
Mrs. Emily Smiley, 33, said
reports the brides were mis

My Scottish girl friends here
think the same thing. The lew
who haven't been able to get
along go home and complain
a small percentage."
Mrs. Leslie Richardson also
blamed the individual girls.
'The people in Australia act,
live and do the same as you do.
The only difference is that you
have an accent," she said in an
Australian accent.
