THE NEW YORK TIMES, May 7, 1930
* Gandhi arrested - The Mahatma
* Riots in India - Delhi - Calcutta
The front page has one column headings that include: "RIOTS GRIP ALL INDIA OVER GANDHI ARREST; 20 KILLED, 100 HURT" "Police and Troops Fire Into Defiant Crowds in Calcutta Suburbs and Delhi" "Trains Stoned, Wires Cut" "Delhi Under Martial Law" and more. (see) Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 56 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
