INDIAN MINISTER
 AT TAFT SCHOOL
Predicts Success for De- mOcracies; India to Re-
 sist Japs' InvasiOns

T have faith that Indian leaders will learn to realize that India is not for the Hindu or the Moham- medan but for the Indians" said Sir Gir1a Shankar Bajpai, Indian minister to the United States in on address to Taft school student last night, India with its army of more than Q million men can and will fight against Japanese aggression he said.
 Indian leaders realize that their dream of freedom cannot possibly come true unless the democracies succeed in the war. "Our need" he said, "is not for man power nor for small arms which we make, but for planes and more planes"
 Sir Giria pointed out that in private life Moslem and Hindu work and live side by side in friendliness and he stated that he believed one of the prime reasons for the failure of the Cripps ms- sion was not only Q clash of poli- cies but also of personalities. The different political parties, Sir Girja sad, were quite naturally out for power. The minister said that in his opinion the greatest contribu- ton in all the -50 years of British rule was the realization in full ef- fectvcness of the dream of the an- oients, the desire for & real unity for India.

Farley Heads USO Division

New York, April 21.--"American business has never been found wanting in backing up men and women in the nations fighting forces" James A. Farley, former United States Postmaster General and chairman of the Board of Coca-Cola Export Sales CO, said today. He expressed confidence that industry in the United States Postmaster General and chairman of the Board of Coca-Cola Export Sales Co., said today. He expressed confidence that industry in the United States again will show its mettle in support of the USO War Fund Campaign for $32,000,000, to begin May II and to continue until July A."
 The statement followed Mir. Far ley's appearance at USO headquar- ters in the Empire State Building, to take over his duties as Chairman of the National Corporations Com mittee of USO, c key post to which he had been appointed by Prescott s. Bush, National Campaign Chair man.
 
 Calls USO's Part Vital
 T welcome this opportunity to serve cause so closely-linked with the welfare of our armed forces" said MT. Farley. 'Those responsible for the conduct of the war, from President Roosevelt to the men in necessity of USO as a vital part of the job of winning this war.
 "The program of USO, to meet the war needs, will require a total of $32,000,000. That represents an average of 6 cents per man a month to pledge every one of the 100000 American fighters some measure of friendly and home-lke hospitality in those moments of leisure when the best soldiers and sailors in the world want little comfort, a place for relaxation, and touch of home.
 Corporations Won't Fail'

ing, the populace Immediately would be found facing Q dilemma most fr!ghtful For a holocaust in this over crowded mart, laced with the narrowest of streets, would set the pine-clad mountains aflame, spreading e furious forest- fire
 Such Q fire could sweep inland for niles-far into the interior, licking up farm villages as it progressed Kobe's drinking water reservoirs are situated in the mountains, directly back of the city. Moreover, these reservoirs, constituting Kobe's entire water supply, are r!nged with the most inflammable underbrush innagin- able, and more tall pines
 And next to Nagasali, Kobe is the seat of Japan's most important shipbuilding industry A wide area of the perimeter of the har- bor is reserved for dockyards; and beyond this, and a bit of the coast- line, is another vast area holding oil-storage tanks.

 Accordingly, the people of Kobe, in an air attack, could find no safety in flight to the hills To do so would mean certain incineratlon. With their city aflre, the only pos ] sible exit open to the terrified pop

MINIMUM WAGE
 HEARING HELD

A public hearing on the $16 wage rate proposed in a recent survey of the state mercantile wage will be held this afternoon at the State Capitol in Hartford. Mercantile employers from all parts of the state are expected to attend. The proposal sets up Q minimum wage of $l6 per week for men and women and provides for overtime work at the regular rate. Provisions also are made for $l4 wages for appren- tices for the first three months and $15 for the next three.
 According to the proposed plan, part-time employees would receive 37 and l-2 cents per hour except for students who would receive 30 cents.

FIRE! Japan's Greatest Fear From Air Raids

That Is what Japan fears from air raids. Its cities and towns are built of inconceiv- agly flimsy and inflammable materials -- excepting the most modern structures in the key cities. Under a rain of bombs, they would burn up as fiercely as a Christmas tree afire.
 From their experience with earthquakes (some 500 are record ed each year), the Japanese know what fire can do to them. As a direct result of the Great Earth quake of September 1, 1928, about one-fifth of Japan's national wealth was destroyed and up- wards of 250,000 persons (the un- official estimate, denied by the government) lost their lives in the flaming inferno.
 An impressive parallel can be drawp between the terrific effect of earthquakes and the man-made terror that Is loosed from the sky. Fire invariably follows in the wake of both.
 AIR RAID PRECAUTIONS
 ARE PATHETIC"
 And considering this threat of raid-started fires, Nippon's air- rad precautions are pathetically purpoSeleSS and inadequate. Tn the first place, the government has not had the funds to expend for atr-raid shelter construction.
 Another fact: Tokyo, with its TOOL $50 inhabitants, Yokohama, Kobe, Nagoya, and the enormous industrial city of Osaka, are all of them partly built on ground pre- viously reclaimed from the sea. So even shallow digging in many important localities soon meets with rising water. The Imperial Hotel, in Tokyo, for example, is situated on ground that is as soggy as a wet sponge.
 The building of air-rasd shell ters presents an engineering prob- lem practically impossible of Solu- tion. Tokyo has only Q single subway, seven miles long. But even this subway should prove of no value as an afraid shelter = because 1t is laid just underneath the surface.
 Most of the details of a typical Tokyo air-raid drill, by night, con- sist of A R. F. wardens running around and ordering the excited populace to turn of their lights. Tn modern aerial warfare, night raiders drop @ great many flares before they commence unloading their "eggs", However, the Japa- nese seem to have failed utterly to take this into consideration.

THE ROBIN

TIe comes here very early in the spring And he comes back here every year. It is Joy to hear him sing, His song just gives our hearts cheer. Iris nice to see him hop about So intently looking for 6 worm: TiS very strange he finds SO many At nearly every little turn. He sings the same old warbling song He's been singing for many year. He gets right upon the fence And cheerfully warbleB without bit of fear. He stays here all through the summer, And builds his nest of mud and leaves Very low down in the fence, Or higher ID in the taliest of the trees. The eggs are 90 lovely to behold, They always are SO very blue The sight seems never growing old A lovely scene to me and Joy to all Of you. He's very sanitary but in the same old way, For he always takes his daily bath The very first thing every day, By gpiashing nlud and water around every way.

And yet neihter by day nor by night do they have any kind of adequate shelter-such as the rock caves at Chungking- where they might hide.
 Japan's air-raid drills also in- clude the spectacle of men in rubber suits running hither and thither, sprinkling white powder where imaginary bombs are sup- posed to have landed. Factually, in case of real raids 1t would be just "every man for himself"
 Throughout Japan, oil storage tanks stick out like sore thumbs, Practically all of them are situ- ated in surprisingly vulnerable places. Almost invariably they are smack up against cities, most of which are built of wood and plaster and paper On their roofs they have heavy tiles that in Ser1- ous earthquakes cause more cas- ualties than, perhaps, any other agents. When roofs buckle, these tiles come down in an avalanche.
 Japan's arsenals also, most of them, from Maizuru to Otaru, are placed dangerously near to resi- dental and business areas. Only Tokyo and Osako have a few wide traffic arteries, which, l1everthe- less, in event of a holocaust, should be found ineffective in af- fording a speedy evacuation of a populace that readily fys into a panic, anyway.
