INDIANS 'REVILED'
(N.Z. Press Assn—Copyright) LONDON A British Sunday newspaper says that many of the touring Indian cricketers are afraid to go home because of losing the present series against England.

The home of the captain, A. Wadekar, had been stoned and his family threatened. The story said the effect of the reaction back home "has been greater than many have realised.
