French and American litter bear CTS hurriedly gathered up the dead and severly wounded and took them to hospitals. The dazed. shivering survivors, many with only a blanket to protect them from the winter chill, stood silently and patiently while roll call was taken.
 Only two planes were believed to have participated in the raid, the first since Halloween. Paris was ablaze with lights at the time, the blackout having been lifted 10 days ago in the belief that all danger of such attacks had passed.
 Many Parisians heard the planes buzzing around in the starlit sky, but paid scant attention since they thought them to be Allied aircraft Only when the bombs came tumb- ling down did they scatter for shell ter.
 The air raid alarm was sounded two minutes after the last bomb had fallen. The "all clear" followed 35 minutes later. The Ninth Air Force in a brief announcement re- ported that bombs had hit "hos- pital'-presumably the Servicemen's club-and also caused civilian dam- age and casualties.
 Anti-aircraft batteries engaged the planes, the announcement said
 Some of the American soldiers were playing cards when the bomb hit the Servicemen's club, which was used as a stopping place for walking wounded passing through Paris.
 It. Pasquale Famiglietti of Wa terbury. Conn.,, said French civilians "came popping out from all oyer the place and for few minutes ran around like chickens with their heads cut of"
 It. Famiglietti is the son of MT, and Mrs. Louis Famiglietti of 37 Long Hill road. He has been in the service four years next February, enlisting while student at Leaven- worth high school. He is a former employe of the Waterbury Manufac- turing Co.

1O% TAX RELIEF
 COMING SOON
SO-CalIed Cabaret, Enter- tainment,cDapc Levy
 Changes July l

Beginning July 1st ct 10 a. m. the tax imposed on amounts paid for admission, refreshments, service and merchandise at roof gardens, cab- arets and similar places of enter tainment, will be reduced from 30 to 20 per cent, thus affording the op- orators and patrons a tax relief of 10 per cent, Collector of Internal Revenue, Frank W. Kraemer &n- nounced Tuesday.
 He cautioned proprietors that the tax return which is due on or be- fore July 31st on the tax for the month of June must be computed on the basis of the 30 per cent rate as this reduction is not retroactive.
 The same regulations and laws which had governed the application and collection of this tax prior to the tax change, with the exception of the amount to be collected, will still be in force. Thus the 20 per cent tax Is imposed on amounts paid for admission, refreshment service and merchandise at any roof garden, cabaret or other simi- lar place furnishing a public per- formance for profit or where danc- ing is allowed. MT. Kraemer also reminded proprietors that the liabi- ity for the payment of the tax rests directly upon them. Whether the proprietor shifts the burden of the tax to the patron is a matter solely within his discretion, the. fact that no increase in the charge for refreshment or merchandise Is made during the period where entertain ment is presntd or dancing is al- lowed, does not absolve the pro- prietor from the tax liability.
 Many proprietors, in an effort to evade the collection or the pay ment of this tax have displayed signs which state no dancing or dancing only between specified hours. This will not lessen the pro- prietors liability for the tax unless rules prohibiting dancing are en- forced. Other proprietors have pro- vided rooms from which the enter tainment cannot be seen, however, if patrons are allowed to enter the entertainment room and witness or participate in the entertainment of dancing, the tax attaches on the amounts charged the patrons who are accorded those privileges, even though all amounts were contracted and paid for in room from which entertainment could not be wit messed. Similarly propretors who collect, without charging tax for services and refreshments prior to the beginning of entertainment or dancing but allow those patrons to witness the entertainment or par- ticipate in dancing shall be liable for the tax. 9

.'V SECRETARY
 PRAISES PRIEST
Talks on War Prisoners Includes Tribute to Local
 Chaplain in Philippines

Information on shipping packages to war prisoners and on war camps was given by Miss Sadie L. James, representative of the North Atlan- tic area Red Cross office, and Nell son Hume, New Haven YMCA sec- rctary, to more than 200 persons who attended a special Red Cross meeting last night at the Connec- ticut Light & Power Co.,, auditorium.
 The program was arranged by the home service branch of the local Red Cross chapter as an aid to Wa terbury area residents who may have relatives and friends in prisoner of war camps.
 Miss James explained that of- ficial mailing labels must be se- cured from the U. s. provist mar shal before packages can be sent to war camps. The limitation is H. pounds, the shipping takes about six months in some instances, she stated. Form letters are obtain able at the post office.
 MT. Hume, who was interned by IkAC OdPoAASoC 4OA yC0k oAA0 Q AAuAA and returned in an prisoner ex- change to this country last Decem- berber, described conditions at this place of interment. Although con- ditions were described as difficult, the speaker stated the Japanese showed many kindnesses, especially to children, and the treatment re- ceived by the civilian interneeS de- pended on the character of the par ticular Japanese officers in charge.
 In the course of his remarks, MT. Hume stated that one of the out- standing chaplains in the Philip pines was Rev. William R. McCar- thy of Waterbury, who has been a prisoner of the Japanese since March, 1942. Father Mccarthy is presently interned at San Tomas. MT. Hume remarked that he was beloved by all of the 800 war pris- oners and had their utmost respect and confidence. In organizing and attempting to acclimate both min- tary and civic factors held by the Japs Father Mccarthy showed re- markable business ability. Even the Japanese appreciate his efforts to sustain the morale fo their charg- eS and having them cooperate in maintaining order.

A meeting of the di- vision is scheduled for tomorrow morning at which time 1t is expect ed that the results of this latter division will reveal better than g million mark.
 Meanwhile the city crept upward toward the 60 per cent mark of its quota as industries, local societies and individuals continued a steady support of the current Fighting Fifth campaign.
 Today the Scovill Co.,, whistle was sounded five times for a total of ll5 blasts signalizing an equal number of $l,000 bond purchases by en- ployes. Close to $500000 of an $850, 900 bond quota has been real- iZed through purchases at the plant.
 A total of $l2,000 in war bonds had been sold at the Victory House up to noon today under the spon- sorship of the Franco American so- ciety. This same group under their sponsorship yesterday sold a total of $l5,000 at the house. Conrad Baril is the chairman.

 Tn the current issues of the Chase News an explanation for the weeks holiday is given. The statement may be interpreted also as a reason for the various divisions of the Ameri- can Brass company closing for weeks period. The Chase Company statement follows:
 This shutdown is not made at this time because We have less war orders, or that the government is not in need of full production. Both the Army and the Navy need our brass and copper products as much as ever. The shutdown is made at this time for the following excellent reasons:
 1. Chase plants have not shut down for vacations since 194l, and a vacation this year will provide rest and relaxation for employees who have been working long hours and six and seven days week.
 2. Because 1t is believed that @ vacation will tend to cut down absenteeism in other weeks through out this summer, and that by con- centrating all vacations in one week greater, and more balanced pro- duction will be had in other weeks.
 3. The shutdown will permit the taking of inventory.
 4. It will also permit time for sorely needed repairs to tired and worn machines which are difficult to make while plants are operating three shifts.
 All office and warehouses will re- main open as usual.
