'Small Chance For New War'
(Copyright 1947 by United Press) Bombay. —(UP) - Mohandas K Gandhi expressed his belief today that war between Russia and the United States was "highly improbable."
Gandhi urged settlement of world problems through application of his non-violence principle. He proposed that Jews in Palestine abbandon violent underground operations.
The elderly Hindu spiritual leader gave his views from New Delhi, where he was advising leaders of the predominantly Hindu political congress party in India on negotiations with Viscount Mountbatten and the Mosleh league on plans for the British withdrawal from India.
Here are some of the questions submitted to Gandhi and his replies:
Question--Do you think there is any possibility of armed conflict between Russia and the United States?
Answer—Anything is possible, but it is highly improbable.
Question-Do you foresee the possibility of the world being united under one central governing body composed of representatives of the component parts?
Answer-This is the only condition on which the world can live.

After Cleaning 22 Rooms Janitors Turn To Vaudeville
Grotesque noises from the upper regions of Frank Strong hall have been attracting students to the third floor auditorium.
There, between morning classes, they watch Bill and Glenn, a couple of janitors who believe there's no fool like an old fool, but who wants to be dignified?
Bill and Glenn got tired of doing the same thing day after day. Twenty-two rooms is a lot of janitoring.
Recently they were tinkering with the public address system in Frank Strong auditorium. Glenn started playing with the mike, and soon he was making noises that any sound effects man would envy.
Add Some Practice
Add Some Practice
Bill, hardly bashful, decided those noises needed Thespian interpretation. He started a few antics, accompanied by Glenn off-stage with the mike. Growls, gurgles, and rattles boomed out.
A crowd of students gathered between classes. The show wasn't exactly professional, but the audience gave plenty of vocal encouragement. That's how Bill and Glenn's vaudeville act started.
They began to practice on their own time. They developed a guzzling act, in which Bill pretends to be drinking. Backstage Glenn times his microphone gurgles with Bill's facial contortions. The final belch always gets applause.
Pianos, Too
They've also got an act in which Bill strikes a high key on the piano, only it comes out low. There's a piano backstage.
Somewhere they picked up a big, red stage nose. Bill uses it for rather startling effects.
As the men ate their box lunch they told about their pastime. Bill did the talking.
"We had the place pretty near full the other day. The folks come through here and stop and gawk at us makin' the crazy noises."
He scratched his wild, red hair.
"We'll have to practice to get our timin' good. We never done a couple of these tricks till yesterday.
Wake. U.S. Students
"I guess our '8 o'clock act' sort of wakes up the students. One professor told us his class's been wide awake since we started foolin' around."
Bill's 42, looks 52, and has been in every state plus Canada and Mexico.
"I've done about everything," he said. "Worked as a plumber's helper, carpenter's helper. Even been in a carnival. I was the 'rassler.'"
Glem is about the same age as
Jason. He's a great teammate.
Petr just lets backstage helper
They finished their lunch and started back to work, glad to have put on the special lunch-hour performance.
As Bill put it, "People may think we're crazy, but the whole thing is fun for us and fun for them. Nothin' wrong with that."
