PAKISTAN TROUBLE:
Hindus Initiated Riots--Clark

'

Artists

CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING

.N

i

By JOE TANNENBAUM
The government of Hindu India,
with the full knowledge of Gandhi
and Nehru, deliberately planned
and executed riots and massacres
British troops from India, geology
department lecturer John Clark
charged yesterday.
Clark spent two and one-half
years in Asia with the Army En-
gineers during the war and recent-
ly returned from a 14 month trip
through China and India.
THE PURPOSE behind the riots
was to frighten enough Moslem
refugees into the newly-created
nation of Pakistan to break it fi-
nancially and socially. Then Pak-
istan would be forced to rejoin
India, Clark said.
Four million refugees poured
into Pakistan within a few
weeks after the riots began. Two
million Mohammedans were
slaughtered during the disor-
ders, Clark continued.
Only by the utmost self-sacrifice
and hard work did the people of
Pakistan overcome these obstacles
and attain their present position
as the only Asiatic country with a
balanced budget and a favorable
balance of trade, he said .
CLARK talked with almost 100
refugees from northern India to
substantiate these accusations.
These witnesses were selected at
random from various cities and
towns in Pakistan to which they
had fled. Most of them were uned-
ucated and illiterate. None of them
were selected from organized refu-
gee camps.
-"By these methods ,of selection
I avoided the possibility of hav-
ing witnesses influenced by
propaganda from either side,"
Arts Magazine
To Hold Meeting
Inter-Arts Union will hold an
open meeting for students interest-
ed in the formation of an art mag-
azine at 4 p.m. today in the
League.
Further plans will be discussed
for organization and publication of
the magazine.
Scheduled to appear in March,
the magazine will be a quarterly
representing the five arts of liter-
ature, music, dance, drama and art
itself.

Clark explained. "Their lack of
education prevented contact
with any written propaganda."
The stories of these refugees
who came from several different
parts of northern India was the
same, Clark stated.
,* * * -
"TWO WEEKS before partition
time groups of police and soldiers
searched Mohammedan homes and
removed all arms and weapons. On
partition day these same police
and soldiers returned and started
murdering the helpless people they
had previously disarmed."
After the first several thous-
and murders, spontaneous riot-
ing broke out on both sides.
Eventually both governments

were forced to cooperate in stop-
ping the disorders, Clark said.
A further effort by India to ruin
Pakistan occurred in June 1948 he
added. The government of India
forbade the export of chlorine to
Pakistan for a period of three
months. The cities of Pakistan de-
pended on a British company in
Calcutta for chlorine to purify
their water supply. Thus they were
forced to pump contaminated
water through the mains.
"India's only purpose in this
was to start epidemics of dysten-
tary and cholera in Pakistan,"
Clark asserted. When this matter
began to receive publicity Nehru
withdrew the embargo order, he
said.

India's new constitution will ac-

nation's caste system, according to
Prof. Amos H. Hawley of the soci-
ology department.
The constitution, which will go
into effect Jan. 26, should prove
Michigan Tax
Men To Take
'Short Course'
Municipal tax assessors from 15
Michigan cities will gather here
today for the opening ofra three-
day "short course" in recent as-
sessment developments at the Un-
ion.
Sponsored by the University Ex-
tension Service and Bureau of
Government, the "short course"
will open today with speeches by
Prof. Robert Ford, Director of the
Bureau of Government; Walter
Lahde, Ann Arbor assessor; Rob-
ert H. Marsh, Ypsilanti assessor;
Roy F. Goodspeed, Ferndale asses-
sor; and Elmer W. Haack, Birm-
ingham assessor."
Tomorrow's discussion will be
led by Charles McCauley, Grand
Rapids assessor; Albert Champ-
ney, director of the Wayne Coun-
ty Bureau of Taxation; Lester N.
Pressley, Lansing assessor; W. Ray
Ransom, Pontiac assessor; Louis
M. Nims, chairman of the Michi-
gan. Tax Commission; and Carl E.
Miller, Saginaw assessor.
Featured at tomorrow night's
session will be a panel discussion
by five city assessors-Alger Zapf,
Royal Oak; William L. Page, Bat-
tle Creek; William Koop, Holland;
Jack J. Foster, Midland; and
Thomas M. Corcoran, Detroit.
The short course will conclude
Thursday morning with a pro-
gram highlighted by addresses by
Frank N. Mitchell, Jackson asses-
sor, and Ivan N. Cuthbert, Detroit
engineer.
Opera Schedules
Publicity Meeting
A meeting will be held at 7:30
p.m. today in Rm. 3L of the Union
for all men interested in doing
Union Opera publicity work.
Cliff Rogers, '50 BAd, will ex-
plain the organization and func-
tions of the Opera's propaganda-
dispensing department.
Men are needed for all phases of
publicity, according to Rogers, in-
cluding newspaper, radio and pos-
ter work.

effective because it will impose
penalties for flagrant exercise of
segregation practices, Prof. Hawley
said.
* * *
INDIA'S NEW constitution abol-
ishes "untouchability and all caste
distinction in secular life, and
guarantees freedom of speech and
assembly."
Prof. Hawley cautioned, how- I
ever, that "a caste system can-
not be legislated out of existence
and the reform may take several
generations."
"The constitution can be praised
not only on a moral basis but be-
cause it will promote a more effi-
cient economy in India," Prof.
Hawley continued.
"ACTUALLY THE caste system
has been in the process of break-
ing-down for some time as a result
of the intrusion of western civili-
zation."
Time needed for the adoption
of Hindi as the official tongue
depends on the efficiency of the
government, educational facili-
ties and improvement in meth-
ods of communication, Prof.
Hawley said.
Hindi is specified in the consti-
tution as the official language of
the republic, with a transitional
period of fifteen years provided.
"FIFTEEN YEARS seems to me
an over-optimistic estimate," Prof.
Hawley commented.
An Indian student on campus
stated that the change to Hindi is
consistent with the sentiments of
the people because English was
imposed upon them by the British.

one carat weighs 205 milligrams.
However, the English carat is
