Gandhi, leader of the peaceful independence movement against the British administrators of India, was arrested the day after calling for individuals to boycott liquor and foreign cloth.

McColl's murder, apparently by a Yolngu named Tuckiar for the rape of Tuckiar's wife, led to fears, among the white residents of the NT, of an aboriginal uprising. After five of the Yolngu, including Tuckiar, turned themselves in and went to trial. Public outcry over the racist attitude of the judge, led in November 1934 to Tuckiar's release. Tuckiar vanished the day after leaving jail.〔Ken White, ''True Stories of the Top End'' (Indra Publishing, 2005) pp133-134〕 *Born: Dom DeLuise, American actor and comedian, in Brooklyn (d. 2009); and Ko Un, South Korean poet, in Gunsan 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「August 1933」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
