INDIAN LEGION IS BEING DISCHARGED
FORCE WAS TO HAVE FOUGHT ALONGSIDE THE GERMANS Recd. 9 p.m. London, Jan. 8. Nearly one-third of 2500 members of the Indian Legion, which Subhas Chandra Bose formed to fight alongside the Germans as a counterpart of the Indian National Army, have now been interrogated and the large majority discharged, says Reuter’s New Delhi correspondent. Two courts are dealing with t’ie cases at a rate of 30 daily. Most members of the Legion were captured at El Alamein. It is doubtful whether any will be formally tried.
