CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE
EXTENSION OF CAMPAIGN. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Calcutta, May 9. Congress now announces an extension of the suspension of civil disobedience to six weeks, but despite Gandhi’s appeal the Government of India states that the situation is unaltered, and unless Congress fulfils without qualification the conditions previously laid down the release of political prisoners will not be entertained. A REPORT CONTRADICTED. (British Official Wireless.) (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Rugby, May 9. It is officially stated that there is no truth in the report sent to India from London that Cabinet will consider tomorrow Gandhi’s appeal to suspend the ordinance and release political prisoners. GANDHI WEAK FAST MAY PROVE FATAL. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 11.5 p.m.) Calcutta, May 10. Gandhi suffered a severe attack of nausea, which caused alarm. Later he improved. There is no immediate cause for anxiety, but the indication of his weakness is making it more certain that he will not survive if he continues his fast.
