(Received February 14, 1.5 p.m.) LONDON, February 13. The Delhi correspondent of “The Times” says that by the casting vote of the President, Sir Abdur Rahim, the Legislative Assembly rejected a bill introduced by Mr B. Das, a member of Congress, repealing the Criminal Law Amendment Act, and empowering the Government to deal with subversive activities. Members of Congress supported the bill, following their election promise to secure the repeal of the act, which was mainly responsible for the killing of the latest civil disobedience movement. . A great impression was made by Sir Mohammed Yakub, who described the persistent secret communist propaganda in • India, especially in the educational establishments, and read out a poster, which communists were alleged to have printed for circulation among Sikh regiments, urging the troops to join the revolution movement. Sir i Mohammed Yakub indignantly commented on the suggestion in . the poster that Indian soldiers would go, over to the enemy in the event of war. «
