The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1943-12-30

One of the most recent to come
out Of that land of superstition,
religious differences, and disunity Is
Peter Muir. That correspondents
This Is India doubleday. Doran:
$3.50, Is one of the most readable
and enlightening books on Mother
India" in a long time.
Muri, together with his wife
Frances, took in India the hard
way. Assigned to that country
shortly after the war broke, he
mingled with the untouchables, the
Maharajas,. the devout and the
dervishes. He suffered the embar-
rassment of the beginner, was
"mooched" by professional beggars,
rode a camel, rode an elephant
hunted tiger with one Of the richest
men In India, saw the awesome
Khyber Pass, and, in general, gath
cred more deeprooted information
than 80 per cent OF those visiting
India.
Muir hasn't too much respect
for Ghandhi and his party. He
doesn't hold much brief for the
rest of the numerous Indian poll
tical parties. He does give counten-
ance to the British rule, and prob
ably can convince q lot of skeptics
that the tight little isle has ex-
erted a decided beneficial influence
over people that never knew the
meaning of unity, that tore one
another asunder for different re-
ligious beliefs, that advocated child
marriage, looked on widow burning
as the rule instead of the excep-
ton, and never questioned the caste
system.

SCAVENGER SERVICE
COMPLAINTS HEARD
RESIDENTS CLAIM ONLY ONE
CALL MADE LAST
WEEK

Residents in some parts of the
city are complaining about the
scavenger service. The contrac-
tor is supposed, according to his
agreement with his customers, to
call for trash and garbage twice
a week. But last week his wag-
ons made only one call at each
place.
County Jailer Clyde knight
said today that conditions at the
Jail are far worse than that. He
stated that the county is paying
the scavenger contractor to haul
away trash and garbage from
the Jail twice a week, but that,
during the time he, knight,
has been jailer, the last two
months the scavenger trucks have
called at the Jail only three
times.
Mr.. knight said that he would
have been in pretty fix" had
it not been for services he re-
ceived from the county's wag-
ons in carrying off garbage and
trash on Saturday mornings.

feel confident that the good
sailors here feel even more

THREE JAPANESE CARGO
SHIPS SUNK AT RABAUL:
SEVERAL OTHERS DAMAG-
ED IN ATTACK
(By Associated PressI

| (By Associated PressD
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-The
War Department reported today
that American planes carried out
three successful air raids in the
Moth and South Pacific on New
Years Day. the most successful
of which was at Rabaul on New
Britain Island.
In that attack, a large squad
ron of American planes sunk
three Jap cargo ships in the har-
Dor and damaged several others,
and SO devastated the airfield
only three Nipponese planes were
able to take to the air in at
tempts to drive back the Ameri-
can bombers. Many Jap planes
are thought to have been destroy
ed on the ground, but the flames
caused by bursting bombs were
so fierce the American pilots were
unable to note the extent of the
damage done.
In the Aleutians, American
planes made three successive
raids on Jap-held Kiska, the last
of which on New Years day, but
in the foggy atmosphere it was i'm
possible for the pilots to see the
damage inflicted.
The third raid was made on Co.
cobono, on Guadalcanal Island,
where the Japs have a base in the
dense jungle. American bombs
were dropped without any opposi-
ton from Jap planes and only oc-
casional fire from anti-aircraft
guns.
Two planes were lost at Kiska,
but none at Cocobono and Rau-
baul.
