INDIA ....---------- In India the Sikhs are on the rampage a ain, killing oslems, in the city of Ludhaiana, and burning u houses. Ludhaiana, in northwest India, is a city . of several hundred thousand people, many of them i ■ Moslems. Tonight it's reported to / be a scene of horror, with fires raging in many sections and mobs rioting, looting, killing. The Yoslems, behind barricades, reported to be defending themselves wtth home made bombs) A dispatch from London says that this time the Sikh police have joined the rioters xi• vowing they'll not leave a single Yoslem a1ive. Mohammed Ali Jinnah, Governor General of Pakistan, visited Lahore today and saw for himself the results of the savage rioting there. (At New Delhi, Premier Jawaharlal Nehru has arran ed a■ an emergency coDference with Ali Kahn, Premier of Pakistan. They hope to get together on a concerted plan for ending this wild civil war.)

The D 1 i g overnment therefore has decreed that for twenty-twG hours, until Monday, the peo ~ le of the city may leave their houses onlJ for to hours each afternoon, to buy food. Nehru said today that rioters and raider• from the princely states adjoining Pakistan are partly responsible for all the trouble.
