Estimate of 15,000
Killed in Punjab Is
Low, Nehru Asserts
L By tk» Associated Pres*
■ NESS' DELHI, Sept, 13.—Indian
Prime Minister Jawaharal Nehru
said todav estimates from both offi
cial and unofficial sources indicated
that deaths from recent riots in
the Delhi area totaled "roughly
1 OOP ”
He told a news conference that
he considered the 15.000 official
death lists for East and West Pun
jab "very low" and said it might
"easily be doubled or trebled.”
Despite this Mr. Nehru asserted
that he considered India "a far
more peaceful country than any
orner in tne world.' He conceded
that, the rioters behaved with "a
ferocity and brutality that is as
tounding," but added that the aver
age Indian is so constituted he
"hesitates even to kill a snake."
He said 75 per cent of the rioting
in the twin cities of Old and New
Delhi was "the direct result of
stories of refugees" who flocked into
the cities from other riot-swept
areas.
Troops Enter Moslem Area.
Tension in the Delhi area cen
tered today in a square-mile area
known as the Faiz Bazaar, popu
lated principally by Moslems, where
troops, firing heavily and supported
by two armored cars, moved in with
the express intention of seizing
weapons held by barricated Mos
lems.
Persons approaching the trouble
area were warned off by the troops,
who said it was dangerous and that
the military were going to capture
automatic, weapons there. Firing,
apparently from house-to-house
fighting, was clearly audible.
Mr. Nehru emphasized that "no
body can give accurate figures” on
casualties in the Punjab and Delhi
rioting. He criticized some dis
patches sent abroad on the rioting,
but did not name any specific corre
snonripnf-R
Discussing generally disorders |
which upset Northern India last
month, the prime minister asserted
that they would be "extraordinary
anywhere and certainly extraordi
nary in India. * • * I do claim to
say that India is a more peaceful
country than any other in the world.
* * * Indians have behaved with
ferocity and brutality that is as
tounding; Yet the averagp Indian
is mild and gentle, hesitates even to
kill a snake."
Opposes Blaming Sikhs.
Mr. Nehru declared that the riot
ers "act like they were deranged,
possibly by a series of shocks. * * *
I think we can safely say 75 per
cent of what has happened i Delhi
is the direct result of stories of
refugees.
'T do not propose to go into the
relative ferocity of Hindus. Sikhs or
Moslems. I will say that I find in ,
some reports, especially some foreign
reports, blame for a great part of
it is being put on the Sikhs. * • *
That is not fair to the Sikhs. • • *
That is completely wrong.”
The prime minister also said his ,
government was “taken unawares, ;
and when a government is taken :
unawares, it must suffer for it. * * * ,
Having been taken unawares two or ,
three times, we decided to build up (
an. organization to deal with these ;
problems all over India. We have {
succeeded in building up that or
ganization. It is already producing j
good results after functioning four ,
or five days.’’ !c

nounced yesterday by the Rev. Fran
'is E. Lucey, S.J., regent of the lav
school. More than half the studen
aody, he said, now attends the full
irhe morning courses, but the mar
jin over the afternoon section fo
employed students is slight.

aw school in 1946 with an LL.B

acuity are Nicholas Joseph Chase
vho holds B.A., M A. and LL.B
iegrees from Georgetown, and Lee

own. Mr. Chase is professor ol
jractice and is associated in law
vith William E. Leahy.
About 900 students are expected tc
■nroll for the new' term which starts
September 22. Because it is now
lecessary to conduct morning
lasses in two sections, and it is

>f the school, no new' students were
dmitted during the summer ses
ions just ended.
Georgetown Law School maintains
ts own graduate department, inde
lendent of the Graduate School

filltop campus. Throughout the
car years the law school adhered

iUiring graduation from an accept
ible college as a requisite to start
he study of law.
One of the school's principal ac
ivlties is the publication of the
Georgetown Law Journal, -which is
dited by a student staff chosen by
he faculty. A new staff of editors
fill be named this fall.
Graduate students are required,
is part of their course, to contribute

Stenographer Says
Hissing $107,C J
Went to Husband
By Associated Pres*
DETROIT, Sept. 13.—A 42-year
old brunette stenographer admitted
today in a signed statement that
she embezzled $107,000 in cash from
her employer and poured it into
the hands of her unsuspecting hus
band because “I’m dearly in love
with him.”
Mrs, William Jacobs, wife of a
bartender, was released under the
equivalent of $10,000 bond despite
Prosecutor James N. McNally's pro
test that ‘I’m afraid of what she
will do to herself.”
She faces arraignment September
17 on an embezzlement charge.
Her husband, who she described
as “desperate for money,” was
Miugui u.v punce iui questioning
after he disappeared Friday night
shortly before his wife's arrest. No
charge was placed against him.
Through her attorney, Milton R.
Atlas, Mrs. Jacobs said her husband
“didn’t know anything about'’ the
approximately $13,000 a,month that
Mr. McNally said she passed on to
him from the American Express Co.
where she had worked since she
was 13 years old.
Says Husband Didn’t Know.
“She doesn’t know what he did
with it,’’ Mr. Atlas added.
Mr. McNally quoted Mrs. Jacobs
as saying:
“I gave all I got to him. I’m i
dearly in love with him and he'
didn’t know anything about my tak-j
ing the money. Bill has been com
ing to me since February for money.
He was desperate. He said he had
iome kind of debts. All I know is
ne needed the money for some
eason.”
Mr. McNally said Mrs. Jacobs;
ixpressed an opinion that her hus-1
land may have been a blackmail
'ictim.
The prosecutor said fingerprints
;howed that her husband was
lamed in a $10,300 embezzlement
