Thera was some interference with traffic in Calcutta, where the police had to disperse processions in parts of the city. Eight persons were admitted to hospital after the police fired on an, unruly mob. The crowd reassemble*, and stoned a rnotqr car, injuring five of the occupants, including a military officer and a woman. Of a total of 64 mills in Bombay, .53 are now working, compared with 37 yesterday. The, Chinese Central News reports that Nehru, on the eve. of his arrest, sent a message to the Chinese pledging that India will keep faith with China whatever happens, not only because China’s freedom is precious to India, but also because with it will be attained India’s freedom.
