By THE OUT EASTER


 There are many out East, and dn other parts of Waterbury who knew Harry J. Carroll, of 47 Holmes avenue, who died last week. You know, he had lived out here for years, and up to the time of his removal not 50 long ago.
 Harry was Q York Slater by birth, but had been in Waterbury since or around the early nineteen hundreds, and consequently had become well-known. This was mostly due to his long connection as the head of the II. J. Carroll Coal Company, which he estab- lislaed back some 30 years ago or so. and made successful from the beginning. And in SO doing, you must remember he had to trars- port coal from the Dublin street yards to his own storage bins in ehe rear of 60O East Main street. A Gireless worker from the start, he lived on to see his concern be- come one of the leading coal es- Gablishments of the city. Mrs. Car- roll and able assistant, of course figured in the success of the undertaking, too.
 Still. there was something in the makeup and personality of Harry Carroll that made him pop- ular from his first meeting with e prospective customer. In the first place, he stuck to his promise; he never seemed to fail, in spite of many obstacles that confronted him due to the shortage of the commodity. He remembered old patrons, and parceled out his sup- ply apparently to meet ell de- mai1ds. Not only did he do this to those who had been on his list for years, but also to those who made . change and relied upon him for the coal wanted for their homes. He had . faculty of pleasing, and securing the goodwill of all, Tn times, when there was Q scarcity, we saw Harry during the night season i'll few bags, drop them into his automobile, and make the delivery himself. Available ct all times, he never failed to answer Q message of distress, even from the humblest of people. Kindness permeated every part of his hu- man body, and his heart was such he could never refuse e request for aid. But then that was character. dStic of the Carroll family. and handed down as . McGrath trait, for Mrs. Caroll's people were among the best hearted neighbors Old Out East ever had.
 Harry Carroll was 0 home man, yet he had an outstanding desire to be host to some of his close personal friends, who met with him and who were handsomely entertained every week of the year, Big as . statue, he presented . picture of health, as he paced the streets and highways, and in his activities ct his place of bus. a1ess. Hours of labor never both. cred him. He moved with Q spry. ness that seemed to amaze the younger employees about him. His help were loyal, because they understood and recognized his real interest in their behalf. Recognizing merit, and the kind of work expected, the fact there was never . wage dispute, stands out as . memory to him.
 For our own part, we had

Thousands of Japs Are Burned 10 Death, Others
 Injured in Raid on Tokyo
(By Associated Press)

Many thousanus of Japanese were burned to death. severely in- iured or left homeless as the result of the recent Superfort incendiary raids, Japan's chief propaganda spokesman said, as the government hastened evacuation of millions of civilians from Nippon's five largest cities.
 The Tokyo broadcasts, recorded by the EGG, tell of the flight from the five cities and quoted Sadao Uguchi, spokesman for the Japa- nese Board of Information, as to the extent of the casualties.
 Uguchi called the Super raids an effort to "terrorize and weaken the morale of the Japanese people. '' He claimed the Tokyo area, bombed last Saturday by 300 Superforts was mot even remotely connected with war industries or located near military installations. Thousands were severely injured and many thousands were bombed out of their homes," he said.
 The Tokyo radio said "incendiary bombs poured like rain on the heads of the people"
 A Tokyo correspondent of Soviet Tass Agency, said the Japanese Capital City was thrown into a panic Saturday during the raid and people have fled from the city since then by train, trucks and rickshaws or on foot.
 The correspondent said the hos pitals "are overcrowded.7
 The Japanese newspaper Asahi said transport facilities are so jammed the sufferers must wait two to four days or more before they can get out of town"
 Another Domei dispatch reported the Nippons are suffering from food shortage, such as salt, and the authorities concerned are demand ing that the Government take drastic measures"

The W ashington Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON nt Col Robert s. Allen now on activ service with the Army.A

WASHINGTON-Th fight against Aubrey Williams as Rural Electri- fication Administrator illustrates how far the Senate has been going recently in unfair confirmation tactics. All sorts of wild charges were thrown around against Will Hams, but any careful Senator, taking the trouble to sift them down, found out they weren't true.
 Williams was even attacked on his war record, though it developed he had enlisted in the French Foreign Legion even before the United States entered the last war, had participated in the famous battles of Chemin- des- Danes, Con- piegne and Chateau-T -Thierry. In this war, all four of his sons are in service.
 When this charge Topped, du Pont- financed Senator Bushfield of South Dakota brought various charges of "radicalism" against Williams, quoting from a .publica- tion called Headlines to substan- tiate his charges.
 Finally, Senator Scott Lucas of Illinois exposed the fact that Headlines" was published by the notorious Joseph P. Ramp, who helped organize the friends of New Germany which became the Ger American Bund, was frequent ly seen on the same platform with Fritz Kuhn, now in jail, and was an intimate of George Sylvester Viereck, now in jail as Nazi agent. T thought the Senator would like to see the enlightened source of the testimony he is cross- examining Mir Williams on," Sen- ator Lucas said smiling sweetly at Bushfield

 The air force spokesman said 30 Supers, returning from three great lncendiary raids during the past week on major cities of Japan, landed on Two Jima to refuel or for emergency repairs.
 Without the island, the spokes- man said, most of the Supers would never have reached the Marianas bases and lives of approximately 330 men would have been at stake.

New Department or Departments SIafed
 For Cabinet, Rumor
By JACK sTENNETT

WASHINGTON, March 16.--The rumor goes round and round that sometime soon there will be new department or departments in the cabinet A number have been sug- gested It will take congressional action, but the source probably will be the Budget Bureau.
 Blueprints have already been drawn there for a Department of Transportation Gas was reported in this column months ago. and the BB could now deliver an outline for a Department of Public Welfare. Nucleus of the new department would be the Federal Security Ad- ministration, the Women's and Children's Bureaus of the Labor De- partment, and the Public Health Service.
 Sooner or later, there must be a reorganization of the executive branches of government. For more than decade they have been spreading all over the place and overlapping each other so frequently that it often is impossible to tell where the authority of one leaves off and the other begins.
 Over in Treasury, the War Bond boys are rubbing their hands in a little justifiable glee. The cashing in of war bonds is taking a nose dive. Immediately after the Treas ury made a deal with banks throughout the country to pay cash for bonds practically across the counter the redemption of bonds scared. While some of the experts were saying "Yah-yah, I told you SO" war finance officials kept their heads Their theory was that if bondholders could be made to realize that bonds are as good as cash, they would hold them
 The result has been just what the War Bond boys expected A March turn-in furry is anticipated as hold
