LITTLE GIRL FIRST
 COASTINC VICTIM
Barbara Ann Hill Crushed Under Wheels of Auto
 Inquest Underway

Coroner William B. Hennessy an- nuonced today that he would continue his inquest into the death of Barbara Ann Hill, g. year-old daughter or MT. and Mrs. George Hill of Plank Road, Pros pect, who was Watcrbury's first coasting fatality of the season and the second auto victim of the present year.
 The Hill girl died this morning at l205 at St. Marys hospital from injuries received when the sled she was riding on ran under the wheels of all automobile a short distance from her home.
 The child was taken to St. Mary's hospital by the driver, Nicholas Coc- chiola, 30, of RED No. 2, Prospect. She suffered compound fracture of the skull, fracture of the left elbow, lacerations over the left eye and temple, with bruises of the right knee.
 According to State Trooper Adma Beaudry, the sled came out of a blind driveway and went beneath the wheels of Cocchiola's automo- bile as he was travelling on Plank road, Cf>shire, near the Prospect town line.
 Coroner Hennessy said he released Cocchiola under $l,00O bonds when he was brought into the Cheshire town court last night.
 The Hill youngSter was playing in tho f{ri,yau,o,t 1g Alice Gabriel, with two Gabriel children, Barbara, 6, and Gale, 3, and another child, Judy Chatim, 6, only about half an hour before the coasting accident occurred

SINCLAIR BACK
 FROM FAR EAST
Ministers Son 10 Describe Experiences at Silver
 Tea Friday Night

T. Lowry Sinclair, Jr, son of Rev. Thomas L. Sinclair, pastor of All Souls Episcopal church, and Mrs. Sinclair, who spent three and a half years in the. Philippines and Far East, will be honored at 8 silver tea open to the public Friday evening at o'clock at the church, arranged by the parish auxiliary in honor of his return to Waterbury safe and sound.
 Mrs. Evans Jones, chairman, an noulnced that the honored guest will describe his many experiences as teacher in Brent School in Baguio, on the island of Luzon.
 Young Sinclair claims if the U. s. loses the Philippines it will be serious blow. He would not give the opinion as to our chances of hold ing them, although he said General MacArthur Is fighting over terrain suited for defense. Corregidor is a strongly fortified base, he said, as is Singapore, but he pointed out that bases which cannot be used-Which are simply held and are surrounded by enemies-are not of much use.
 If the war stopped tomorrow, MT. Sinclair declared, he would advocate the opposite of hatred he would try to make people tolerant of other races, try to help them understand others.
 But this is war" he said en- phatically. "The militarists of to- talitarian nations are trying to con- quer the rest of the world and will stop at nothing. No horror is be- yond them"
 The awakening of this country to hatred and to a realization of peril Is, MT. Sinclair feels, of the greatest importance now. He said he was not unaware of the strange ness of a minister's son preaching hatred, but during a trip through China in 1889 he saw the terrible results of bombings, of total warfare, and verified stories of Japanese atrocities.
 These atrocities are not unusual, but rather are expected he de- clared. "It is the normal way the totalitarian nations fight. If in some cases in warfare there are no atro- cities, that means the victims were just lucky. The next victims will not be so lucky"
