Hindus, moH states have passed
laws prohibiting interference with
the use of wells and access to
temples and other publlo places by
Harijans. But SKrtkaut reports thai
"very few rases have been re
corded In the courts of law for
breach of the provisions of these
acts."
The main reason, he explains,
"is that Harijans have no courage
to come forward either to draw
water from the common wells or
to go to public places, since they
are generally economically depen

Economic discontent among the
Harijans. who make uo most nf
India's landless agricultural labor,
is beginning to find political ex
pression. Communist success in or
ganising landless untouchables in
some areas was mainly responsible

Dr. Forrest I. Ooddard. Salem,

Firth later said he had been rail

medical doctors are authorized to
perform abortions, and then only
when necessary to save the pa

The proposed change would allow

and said he performed it as an
