Bombay, Aug. 10.

The Indian Socialist leader, Ishwarlal Desai, announced today that he would lead 1,000 volun- teers in a "peaceful demonstration" march on the Portuguese Colony of Daman next Sunday despite a Portuguese vow to "repel" such Invasions.

Even as India accepted Portugal's proposal to call in neutral observers in the dispute over Portugal's tiny possessions on the coast of the Indian sub-continent, Mr Desai said he would make the march as scheduled on India's Independence Day.
