India Poverty Due
To Caste System.
Says Kiwanis Chief

India's conflicting groups, with
their differences of religion ana
politics which are almost irrecon-
cileable, make it impossible 1or
Great Britain to do more than she
is at present in the way OF nome
rule for India, declared Myron 1nsko
of San Diego, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
for the 18th division of the Califor-
nia-Nevada district, Kiwanis Inter
national, guest speaker at the XII
wants luncheon Friday in the Bar
bara Worth hotel.
Speaking on the topic, India To-
day. Insko explained the back
ground for the present-day Situa-
ton, the various religions, casts,
races, the primitive methods OF
agriculture, except in those IN
stances where the British have
taught the people modern methods
of farming.
India can never have demo-
cratic or representative form oil
government as long as one caste re-
fuses to speak to another, Insko de-
clared. He said that the poverty of
the people is due to the caste sys-
tenn, the surplus of sacred cattle, the
oversupplT of holy men, and the
debts which are passed on from one
generation to another

ONLY 245 PEOPLE

Living among the ruins were only
247 inhabitants, out of pre-war
population of $1,000, when the Rus
slams opened their triple assault
from the north, east and west on
March l.
The successful attack was carried
out with the aid of AiracobraS, Hur-
ricaneS and B-25 bombers. British
Matilda and Valentine tanks and
those of an unspecified American
type.
Dimitriev pointed out. however,
that because of special winter con-
ditions existing on the central
front. the bulk of the Soviet armor-
ed units consisted of Russian heavy
XIV tanks and the T-34 mediums.
ON LIMITED SCALE
He explained that the American
and English tanks were used on a
limited scale this winter because of
insufficient clearance in heavy
Snowfields, which reduced their
speed and made them easier targets
for enemy guns.
Dimitriev explained that the Ger
mans fire power was SO great on
the central front that the Russians
were required to use bigger and
more powerful tanks for break
throughS and therefore used their
own XIV and 34's.
The remaining 247 inhabitants of
the once-populous city told many
stories of mistreatment. semi-Starv-

pretty well indispensable of we are
going to have a stable peace after
the war" Eden said. I don't
mean any exclusive collaboration
1t of course would bring in China
and would be the foundation for
the kind of collaboration we would
like to see among all members OF
the United Nations.
TAKE PRECAUTIONS
An important thing is to take
precautcns to make sure that
Germany and Japan-italy's prob
lem is not the same size-are never
able to start this business again. .
Eden conveyed the congratula-
tions of the British people to the
United States for American vic
tories in the South Pacific.
The British people have watch
co with intense admiration the
fighting prowess Of American forces
and their Australian camrads in
arms in the Pacific theater," he
said The British people would
want me to extend you their warm
est congratulations on the signal
victory in which American forces
destroyed the japanese convoy re-
Gently.
EXPRESSES HOPE
Eden expressed hope that con-
ferenceS similar to the ones he is
undertaking will become more and
more frequent as the Allied war
effort progresses. He said he ex-
pected to go to Canada before re-
turning to London, that he would
like to see something of the Am
erican war output and possibly
something of American army and
navy activities.
Eden arrived here last night after
flying the Atlantic in an American
made bomber.
The talks of President Roosevelt
and the other high ranking AM
erican officials with Eden will be
eliminary to general discussions
TO which all the United Nations
will be asked TO send represen-
tativeS.
Eden's presence in Washington,
anticipated for weeks by insiders
here and postponed until now be-
cause of the illness of Prime Minis
ter Winston Churchill, was an
nounced by the White House last
night.
The announcement stated that
Eden came here at the invitation
of this government and said he
was here Ito undertake a general
exchange of views with the United
States government on all aspects
Of the war situation, and to discuss
the most effective method prepar.
ing for meetings between the gov
ernments of all United Nations to
consider questions arising out of
the war"

 Sergt. Chester Dey of Lambert vile, N. J., got mad when four Japanese rushed his machine gun and wounded last but one member of his crew. He picked up a rifle and went out, swinging the weapon like club. He won back his gun from dying Japanese.
 Another soldier, whose name, like

When a Japanese jumped into his foxhole he pulled of his helmet and beat the Jap anese to death with 1t, then, to make sure, strangled him with a strip of canvas.
 A Japanese sniper thought it was funny and kept laughing as he drove Corp. Robert c. OKeefe of (144 Broad St.) Stamford, Conn.,, another first aid man, back into a foxhole as O'Keefe tried three times to reach Pvt. George W. Carpenter of Marshfield, O., who had two leg wounds.
 OKeefe made it on the fourth try. The laughing Japanese put in another bullet that passed under OKeefe's arm and inflicted third leg wound on Carpenter. The two stuck it out through the night, fir ing rifles and machine guns. Next day 18 dead Japanese, killed by Car penter and his squad, lay in front of the position.
