... LONDON, March 14 (U. P).— Mohamed Singh Azad, 37-year-old Indian engineer, grinned and £ chewed gum ‘during a three-minute hearing at the Bow Street Police ‘Station today while he was being charged with assassinating Sir Michael O'Dwyer, 75, former lieus

tenant-governor of Punjab and|

wounding three others yesterday at a meeting of the East India Asso- _ ciation.

London home by two Irish ‘terrorists in 1922, was expected to harden Britain's attitude toward ‘granting India independence. : -Azad fired’ five or six shots just “as the meeting was disbanding in Caxton Hall late yesterday. He wounded Lord Zetland, Secretary of State for India; Sir Louis Dane, former Secretary of the Government of India and former chairman of the East India Association, and Lord Lamington, former Governor .of Bombay. 6 - The assassination occurred only six days before the India Congress Party meets to approve a resolution of its working committee for a “civil disobedience campaign in the struggle for independence from Britain.

Executive Committee May

‘Decide Future Relations With Britain.

RAMGARH, India, March 14 (U. P.).—Emaciated Mahatma Gandhi, garbed in his simple loin cloth, arrived today in a third class train compartment to join the execufive committee of the Indian National

1 Congress at a meeting which was . | expected to determine the future re-|

lations between Great Britain and India’s 350,000,000 people. _ Gandhi was welcomed by & committee which included Dr. Rajendra Praad, retiring president of the Congress, and Mrs. Sarojini Naidu. poet called India’s nightingale. Thousands cheered as Gandhi motored to the congress headquarters. Pledged to ‘work for India’s independence, the Congress was ex-

pected to vote, at a plenary session

starting Tuesday, for a campaign of civil disobedience. It was forecast, however, that the date for the opening of the campaign would be left for Gandhi's decision, that he would send an “ultimatum” to British authorities demanding independence with the campaign as the alternative, and that in the end; particularly because of thé European war, some sort of compromise would be worked out. The executive committee started today its work of drafting the Congress program for the next year. Its meetings continue tomorrow and Saturday. The plenary session of the allIndia Congress starts Tuesday. Here resolutions will be debated and voted on.

‘Moral Embargo’ of U. S. To Stay, Hull Indicates

WASHINGTON, March 14 (U. P). —Secretary of State Cordell Hull indicated today that the “moral embargo” against sale of American aviation gasoline, airplanes, and certain stPategic minerals to Soviet Russia probably will remain in effect despite the ending of Finnish war. Asked whether the embargo would be relaxed, now that peace has been legally established, Mr. Hull said the poli¢y of this Government doés not automatically expire with the ‘cessation of hostilities. He declined to elaborate. The moral embargo was first ap-] plied against Japan in 1938 as an

Already there was a revival in Congress of demands for severance of diplomatic relations with Russia. They were opposed by Chairman Key Pittman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who contended that there was “nothing to gain” by such a move, Mr. Roosevelt's denunciation of
