Pilot reaches Canada after Exciting time

TORONTO. April l -- (OP)- Shot down in an air raid on Brest and forced to elude the Gestapo for four months before reaching safety, Pilot Officer Jchn S. Pa- ton, 23-year-old Royal Canadian Air Force pilot from Toronto fin- ally has arrived home.

Paton was officially reported missing after his Wellington bom- ber was set on fire by a German fighter while attacking the Nazi ship Gneisenau but all the time he was outwitting the Gestapo, with the aid of friendly French, and reached England via spam.

For three days Paton hid be- neath bushes in a field after he had to ball out st 18,000"feet, He suffered a hip wound from shrap- nei and the only medcial attention he got was administered by him- self from a bottle of antispetic given by a French peasant,

Worst oi all his sufferings- worse even than the diphtheria he contracted later in M d-was the agony caused by the clothes with which French peasants sup- plied him. -

"they were lousy-literally. I mean," he explained. “But at least they made me look like s Hench peasantf-enough to fool a lot of Germanmlsvenrodeinthessme rating coach with some of them and s! never twisted once."

Pun jab Warrior Group Reject Brztzsh Proposals

_ Country waits tensely for decision 0f majority

of All-India

NEW DELHI. India. April 1 - (AP)-— The Sikhs, w-srriozs of the Punjab, and the extremist Mahas- abha group of Hindus tonight rc- jected the British plan for Indian post-war independence, and all In- dia awaited tensely the decision of the majority all-India Congress.

In the light of expectations that the workirag, committee of the Con.

xtu-riri-downfltlic plan-be" cause of British insistence of con- trolling Indilrs war-time defence, were was an increasing awareness of the LOYISGQUELuIm of failure of Sir Stafford Cripps’ mission to this sub-continent.

The deepest impression was made by dstrong comment of the B1"t_1s1l an United States press, pointing out that if Indian leaders. by bur- galnlng, cause the plan to collapse, Indians will forfeit the good op- inion of the United Nations.

Yet it was doubtful whether such warnings would be enough to change the Congress committee's attitude.

Many Bewlldercd

The average Indian nationalist seems bewildercd- by what he re- gard; as failure of Britain and me United States to understand his point of view on the need for an Indian defence councillor.

l-ie argues that only an mdian can rally the countrv and he asks what objection there can be to plac- ing the defence portfolio in the hands of an Indian like Capt. Sir

"Bkader i-Iyat Khan, Premier of the

Punjab. which provides the present bulk o! Indian troops. '

The prevalent attitude in both the Congress and its Mos-lem Les- gue is that Hyst Khan is intelli- gent enou h to take advice and guidance rom Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell. Britain's commander in chief for India. Even the moder- ates led by Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru. one of Britain's best friends in In- dia. feel this way.
