Judge Warlick last week ten tatively entered the race for Governor and promised a formal declaration "sometime in the fall." Warlick Contacted When contacted by the Daily Tar Heel late last night at his home in Newton, the Judge was reluctant to make any statement but indicated that he would con tinue his plans for the primary campaign. This decision makes it fairly certain that the 1944 race for the Democratic nomina tion will be three-cornered, for it has been informally understood for three years that Gregg Cherry of Gastonia was seeking party backing for the Governor ship. .

"Nehrut, although he is for ac tive resistance to Japan, is in consistent, vacillating and full of uncompromising hostility to Great Britain," accused Sir Sam ual. "Although he is an inter nationalist he is so obsessed by prejudice towards Britain that he is unable to see clearly the im portance of the war. Britain in the eyes of Indian leaders is the number one enemy, not the Axis." Yahkub answered Sir Samuel's (fZ? : ft?

"Cripps proposal was reject ed," said Yahkub, "because it provided for dictatorship by the Viceroy. The proposal was so constructed that it could not be revised, but had to be either ac cepted or rejected. For that reason it was rejected." Figures Yahkub gave figures to prove that the Moslem League was not supported by 90 Jo of the Mos lems, as Sir Samuel had stated.
