AUSTIN, Nov. 12 (UP)—Gover-
nor Ross S. Sterling may resign
his office about Jan. 1, rather than
hand it over directly to his bitter
political foe, Mrs. Miriam A. Fer-
guson, according to the belief of
well-informed persons here tonight.
Sterling himself said he had been
busy with personal matters and
had “given no thought to the mat-
ter."
Many state officials and capitol
employes believe, however, he may
use this means to avoid participa-
tion in the inauguration ceremonies
in which he would be forced by cus-
tom to place in the hand of Mrs.
Fergusoh the gubernatorial scep-
ter.

that originated shortly before 7
o’clock, last night in the rear of
the building. It is owned by
Mrs. Kate Harris Lloyd and Mrs.
Alice Cordell, who said that dam-
age amounting to several hundred
dollars was caused by the fire and

was caused by the explosion of a
hot water heater in a room in the
back of the house. The building
was burning and the fire was rap-
idly gaining headway when the fire
department arrived on the scene.
The blaze was rapidly brought un-
der control by the fire fighters,
but the roof continued to smoke
for some time.
Little damage to the interior Of
the hotel and to furnishings was
done by fire, but tho entire con-
tents were badly water soaked.

and to plans for pre-administrative

within the next 10 days. He was

that kept him secluded in the ex-

Friends of the Governor believ-

end, serious thought to the ques-
tion of foreign debts. But they
reiterated that he could only act
as an interested observer as he
possesses absolutely no federal
authority, and will not until he
takes his oath of office on March

POONA, India, Nov. 12. (UP) —
The Mahatma M. K. Gandhi, still
weak from his recent “fast unto
death” which he abandoned when
Hindus and “untouchables” reached
a compromise on their legislative
representation, threatened today to
resume his fast in the cause of In-
dia's depressed millions.
Gandhi, receiving the United
Press Correspondent in his cell at
Poona Jail, said he would resume
his fast January 1 unless untouch-
ables were allowed to entef Teu-
rovayur Temple. When legal diffi-
culties to opening the temple to
the depressed classes were po nted
out, Gandhi said he wou.d postpone
his fast “if a bill is introduced tn
the legislature before January to
amend the law to do justice to the
untouchables.”
Asked what he would do if the
legislature rejected such a bill, the
Mahatma answered optimistically,
“I don't anticipate such a result.
I don't believe in dying before my
day."

ABOARD PRESIDENT HOOV-

President Hoover turned his at-
tention to the vital war debts prob-
lem this evening as his train sped
eastward carrying him back to
Washington.
The President received word
from the Department of State con-
cerning the British note which was
reported to suggest further dras-
tic reduction of the war debts and
a continuation of the moratorium.
Dispatch Received
A dispatch from Washington
was handed to the President at
the home of his son, Herbert, Jr.,
outside Pasadena this morning,
Lawrence Richey revealed to the
United Press.
Richey admitted it referred to
the war debt situation, and added
the President at once began a
study of the message. He admit-
ted there might be something ex-
pected shortly from the President
or through the state department,
Richey said it possibly included
a part of the British note, but that
until the President finished his
study of the newly arisen situation,
he could add nothing to his com-
ment about it. —. —4-
