Item # 580000

September 19, 1932

THE OMAHA BEE-NEWS, Omaha, Nebraska, September 19, 1932

* Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
* The Mahatma food strike beginning


This 12 page newspaper has a two column headline at the bottom of the front page: "Gandhi Eats Less and Stops Exercise as Fast Nears"

This tells of the start of his 6-day hunger strike in jail. See photo for text here.

Other news of the day. Usual browning with some margin wear and tear, should be handled with care.
