Right after Independence day. Au

In tha Punjab. Rrporla were too

Kelly estimated that soma half
million loat their Uvea In that riot
ing, although ht aaya there will
never be any way to know the
death toll. To add to confusion, Hin
du In tht Moalrm area trekked
home to their own kind. Moalem
did tht aamt. Kelly aaya perhap
nlnt million people migrated that
autumn: Just picked up what they
could carry and walked. No one
will know that figure, for aure.
either.
Huge Camp
Tht reault for Nehru wa huge
reduce rami In India. Kelly aaw
rampa with 40 000 to &0.000 people
hungry and living In Incredible
filth." It aeema the Hindu were
prevented by thru- rrliglou prac
tice from cleaning up their own
filth. So they lived In It. Mlraru
though untold number died of dli
eaae. But there wa danger beyond dl.
erase. Tha communUU moved In.
They dudalned to talk to crowd,
but they did appear to go after
leader. Kelly at In on one auch
talk In a email military shelter. Tht
group Included a Hindu communut.
a Moalem army officer, a JapaneM
radio ommentatnr. and two Hindu
newapapermen. The communlat told
them that "In rommunUm there I
no room for communal fighting."
That aound like gibberish hert.
But ht waa laying that different re
llgloua group would never be
forced to live together. At the time
Oandhl waa trying to prevent Hindu
and Moalem from aeparatlng.
Also at that time the communist
had Infiltrated Into Indian commu
nication: telephone, telegraph,
trucking and railroad. They could
have paralysed the country. Nehru
faced that when he had to move
Into tha Punlab to bring about or
der. He moved anyway. He aent In
aoma military. He aent In homing
material to throw up little "bash
aa" for the refugee wooden hut,
many with thatched rood. He aent
In food.
Larky
Luck wax on hi lde. Once the
migration had leparatrd most of
the Moalem and Hindu, the bit
temeaa died down. Oandhl'i death
finally atopped the rioting.
Nehru again had comparative
peace In hi newly free land, and
the communUU had won not a (In
gle province. Now moat of the com
munlat leaden are In Jail.
Among Nehru' Par Eastern
neighbor. China I almoat loat to
communlat armle. There I atlll no
settlement In the Indies. Viet-Nam
and Burma havt aporadlc uprisings.
Korea la ipllt between communlat
and democrat.
Nehru 400.000.000 people may be
hungry. many have alway been.
But there I no civil war. There
I no real communlat threat at the
moment. And the rupee I one of
Ui world comparatively aound

THE late eyalem of higher edu

enrollment for elementary teacher
training at the three collegea of

Modoc Fire I
Permits !

Recent lorm havt made It poa
Isbla to lift tha restriction Imposed
for tha flra aeaaon on the Modoc
national forest under regulation T-l.
according to Supervisor C. M. Rec

warm dry period thla fall when
flrea will spresd In certain area,
and everyone la urged to be aura
their campflrea are dead out before
leaving them and that lighted
matches or burning tobacco are out
before being discarded.
Under the provision of the state
law, permit are still required for
debris burning until December I.
Tht Modoc had 141 fire this year,
114 of which were caused by light
ning and 34 by man' carelestneaa.
Six of the man caused flrea were
started by hunters. Tht Modoc for
eat with 148 flrea thla year, which
la about 60 per cent mora than tha
past five year average, bad a very
heavy fire aeaaon.
to me that It's no more than an
other narrow, winding road and no
more dangerou than any other.
Not a well equipped with guard
