Its strategic military import
ance to the United Nations and
major differences among the
main population-divisions make
independence for India impossi
ble for the duration, according to
Sir Samuel Runganadhan.
Speaking before three politi
cal . science . classes yesterday
morning in 403 Alumni building,
the British Indian official point
ed out the main obstacles to im
mediate granting of the demands
of the Congress party.
Internal Diversity
"The problem of independence
is greatly complicated by the
sub-continent's diversity of ra
ces, peoples, languages and cul
tures," the native-born Indian
said, "Due in great part to the
lack of education, social and na
tional integration as you know
it in America is totally absent."
Setting the numbers of the
three main divisions in his coun
try as 200,000,000 people for the
Hindus, 95,000,000 for the Mos
lems and 50,000,000 for the De

Will Be Voiced
Thomas Yahkub and Sir Sam--uel
Runganadhan will meet in a
joint discussion of the powderkeg
question of Indian independence
this morning at 11 o'clock in Hill
hall.
India's fight for freedom,
"never fully and accurately cov
ered by the press of the nation",
is regarded by Institute of Hu
man Relations heads as one of
the most vital problems blocking
the future road to permanent
peace and therefore they decided
to devote an extra day to it on
learning that Sir Samuel would
visit Chapel Hill.
This last-minute addition to
the regular IHR session, makes
today the most crowded of the
nine days, with a faculty meet
ing and speech of Congressman
Judd already scheduled.
Congress Party
, Yahkub, member of the Con
gress party and Indian national
ist, will call for greater self-determination
in the matter of the
Indian war effort, rather than
for complete independence now.
In a recent speech, he stated
that installation of a man such
as Nehrut as Defense Minister
in the Indian Cabinet together
with some modification of the
"now-dictatorial powers" of the
Viceroy would lead to the for

Alonzo Squires Broadcasts
Over WBT Monday Afternoon
By Sara Yokley
Monday afternoon at 3:45 Alonzo Squires broadcasts the first
program in his own radio series over station WBT. For 15 minutes
the "football of fate," as he calls himself, will mix together humor,
music and philosophy.
"This program is an experiment," says Squires. "Through it
I hope to find a niche for myself. My aim at present is to have
a breakfast program, for people
will .take a lot of corn and kid
ding early in the morning."
A Showman
For years Squires has been a
showman. It all began back at
his parents' home near Wilming
ton. Because of his blindness he
had-:o amuse himself while the
rest of the family was working.
Soon he began to invent voices.
"For long hours I would carry
on conversations between "me
and me," said Squires.
He not only invented voices;
he copied those around him . . .
and people liked it. Squires'
fame as an entertainer spread.
In 1940 he toured the state with
an orchestra as master of cere
monies. Afterwards various

outstanding men among the new
group of Representatives."
Arrives
He will arrive in Chapel Hill
this morning from Washington
and, as he stated in a recent let
ter, "will unfortunately have to
hurry back to my duties there."
Until 1938, Judd served as a
medical missionary . and super
visor of the hospital system in
China, created under the direc
tion of the Federal Board of
Commissioners for Foreign Mis
sions. He saw the effects of the
first years of Japan's attempts
to bring her , "peace" to China
and create a Greater East Asia.
The record of brutality soon
convinced him that the menace
of the Nipponese was not one
that would "long remain limited
to China."
Continued
Judd continued his hospital
work until 1938 when the Japa
nese restrictions made it impos
sible for him to operate with
any sort of effectiveness and
freedom.
. From the ime of his return to
the United States, he crusaded
for and lobbied in Washington
for immediate embargos on
"sale and shipment of war ma
terials to Japan." To make his
fight more effective Judd tour
ed the country, pointing out to
an unbelieving nation the mas
ter plan that Japan had con
ceived, a master plan that was
to bring the "Stab in the back."
Retired
In 1941 he retired to a private
medical practice in Minneapolis,
but in the 1942 elections Repub
lican Walter Judd was named the
member of the House of Repre
sentatives for the fifth Minne
sota district.

clubs in North Carolina ask
ed him to attend banquets
to make after dinner speeches.
Free Advice
"I've got a little advice for
after dinner speakers," said
Squires. "If you want people to
laugh, be the first to speak, for
they've been well-fed before the
slaughter."
As the University's represen
tative in the Fred Allen College
Contest, Squires appeared on Al

all other contestants for display
ing the best showmanship. Over
the microphone he imitated the
