Witness
BIames Jap Navy for
Manila Atrocities

BY the Associated Press.
MANILA, Nov. 17.-GrueSome de-
tails of Japanese barbarities in the
Philippines faded into the back
ground at the war crimes trial of
Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita today as
the military court heard evidence
tending to show japanese navy men,
not under Yamashita's control, COM
mitted atrocities which he is ac-
cused of having permitted.
Yesterday Vice Admiral Denshi-
chi Okoochi testified that the army,
not the navy. was responsible for
all japanese forces in the islands
during the period of alleged atroci-
ties early year. Today 1t. Gen.
Shizuwo Yokoyama passed the buck
back to the navy. testifying that
naval forces defending Manila were
virtually on their own" and
Yamashita had practically no con-
troll over them.
Yokoyama said he himself took
charge of various naval units, but
through their commanders only,
implying that these may have per-
mitted many actions which Yama-
shita never heard about.
Orders From Yamashita.
Asked what orders he had re-
ceived from Yamashita concerning
the killing of Filipino civilians. the
cifically instructed him to "be fair
with all Filipino people and handle
them with caution"
In previous sessions several wit
nesses testified that Yamashita had
issued ruthless order to kill all
Filipinos and burn their cities"
Yokoyama also was asked If he
knew of the large numbers Of ci-
villains killed in Batangas province
where more than $4,000 persons
we're alleged to have been slaugh-
tered by the Japanese.
"I first learned of this" he re-
piled, after coming out Of the
mountains and going into prison.

He said he also had no knowledge
Of civilians being forced to stand In
Manila streets under heavy artil-
lery and aerial attacks.

Earlier witnesses today told of the
execution of three American airmen
on Batan Island, one Of the north
ernmost of the Philippine group, and
the torture and murder of a First
Cavalry Division trooper.
A medical officers statement, in
troduced by the prosecution, de-
scribed torture marks found on the
body of the cavalryman indicated
he had been repeatedly bayoneted,
his feet burned and a f1ngernail
torn out.
Rafael Puno, a Filipino who served
as interpreter while held as a pris-
oner by the Japanese. described how
a bailed-out Air Force captain was

flung into a shallow grave while
still breathing.

All For One

It's doubtful how far the proposal of Edward N. Allen, prominent Hartford businessman, for creation of metro politan Hartford by annexation of sur- rounding towns will go The immediate reaction to his suggestion, made last week in radio talk, was not an encouraging one, so far as the recommendation goes, but as topic of discussion it certainly should be nine-day wonder And the wonder of it may be how seriously off cials in the erea will regard it. For if it were put into effect it would amalga- mate, both geographically and politically, such communities as Hartford, West and East Hartford Wethersfield, Pennington, Windsor, Bloomfield, etc.
 That's big order. Naturally the pos abilities are tremendous But the Sacri- fees by the individual communities are likewise great. For example, this vast metropolis, under Connecticut law, would not be entitled to any more representa- ton in the House of the General Assem- bly, than the states smallest town, Union This would be an immediate stumbling block, .ecause the communi- ties going in with Hartford would imme- diately forego their legislative representa- ton. Perhaps that's just a minor con- sideration, but it weighs pretty heavily in the smaller towns and no doubt would even in the case of larger ones, like West ard East Hartford, where politics is as evident as in the big cities.
 From the standpoint of advantages there is much to be said for the proposal Of Mr. Allen. There would be an extremely wide spread in the costs of governmental services. There would be a consolidated area, which would be political entity such as this state has never known. It's easy to picture the advantages by making believe Waterbury and surrounding towns like Middlebury, Watertown, Vol colt, and Prospect were to amalgamate. But there is love for community that never could be overcome by the demands of the large central city for such move. The tearing up of the historical roots would be too much alone to warrant such . revolt in civic independence.

The Late Dr. Flu

From London comes the news that Dr. Flu Manchu is dead. The insidious Chinese villain of fiction has been dis patched by his creator, Sax Rohmer after a 2O-year career which brought the doc tor fame and the author a very respect able income
 MT. Rohmer performed the deed with understandable reluctance, but he had little choice. In reality, Dr. Flu was war casualty. The trouble, Mr. Rohmer eX- plained, was that the Chinese govern nent considered him shockingly bad propaganda He was giving the world a bad picture of the Chinese, the gov- ernment said, and just couldn't be allowed to live any longer.
 Dr. Fu's departure set us wondering about it's ultimate effect on dramatic and fictional villainy. And our conclu- sionS were for from heartening. Obvi- ollsly the mystery and thriller fans are in for . bland diet if the precedent of Dr. Fu's execution catches on. Any unflat- tering literary or dramatic portrayal of any United Nations citizen might be taken as national insult by the govern ment involved.
 Contemporary movies, plays and books would be bereft of French collabOrators, Mexican ruStlers, homicidal Amazon tribesmen, Balkan brigands turbaned terrorists of India, in fact, the entire stock in trade of the gooseflesh branch of crea- tive art.
 Of course, we in America could get by Hor while on native villains. After all, 0 nation should be allowed to insult itself But once the world movie market opened sap again, we should have to fall in line and make our fictional characters as spot less as our neighbOrS'.
 An obvious solution of this dilemma would be an unrelieved procession Of Vll- lainous JapS and Germans. But this, too, has it's drawbacks. For one thing, we can pick up our newspapers any day and read accounts of real-life villainy by these two races that make any fanciful misdeeds seem pale. Also such scheme would restrict the locale and circum- stances of any drama of conflict to the point of boredom.
 If the fundamental dramatic formula of good versus evil is to be pre- served, we shall probbaly have to adopt one or two courses. Either we can go back to the ancient Greek scheme of making the gods the villains, and let ting them steer the mortals into trouble against their wills, or we can ask that the whole thing be threshed out by the International conference at San Francisco fn April.
 Maybe they could have the citizens of

THE BIRDS
(Portland Press Herald)


 Commissioner Stobies reminder that the plight of birds. this hard winter, has become serious. and that those whose premises are so situ- ated as to make feasible the scat tering of food for them would do well not to neglect the opportunity. is timely and highly important. It is tribute to MT. StobiS's humani- tarianism, of course; and 1t Is also practical wisdom. Birds are exceed- ingly valuable. We must as a nation do more food-raising this coming season than ever before: the more birds We have, the fewer insects to devour the crops.
 One has but to look out at the winter landscape to see how the snow has covered almost all the vegetation from which the winter birds glean a precarious living. They have had to starve for almost a week. MT. Stobie says: and this latest storm renders 1t virtually certain that they will have to starve, or nearly starve, for another week.
 There are, of course, devotees who long have maintained feeding-sta- tions, getting from them not only the satisfaction of keeping the hird

A Praiseworthy Career

Countless Waterbury men and women can credit their present standing in the community to the excellent training and education they received in our local schools. Waterbury has had a distin- guished list of educators down through the years. Standing high in this list is Joseph P. Kennedy, who presented to the Board of Education this week his resignation as principal of Wilby High School. It is with regret that The Dem- ocrat makes note of this item of business at the School Board session.
 During his years at Wilby Mr. Ken redy has had occasion to influence greatly the lives and careers of many young men and women. Prior to aSsum- ing this position of importance in our school system, though, he had made his imprint on hundreds of members of older generations, who were his pupils when he was instructing in mathematics at Crosby High School. That was before the division of the high school courses to permit of three brancheS-clasSical commercial, and vocational. It will always be recalled with great pride that "Joe" Kennedy was one of the finest instructors that Crosby ever had
 So many of his former students are wont to tell of experiences in his classes But despite their recollections of anec- dotes and instances they stand as con- elusive evidence of the fact that he con- veyed to the pupil a lot of solid matter. Teachers for the most part are modest to fault in extolling the virtues of their profession. Extremely modest was MT. Kennedy in laying claim for the material success of the Waterbury citizenry that came under his influence. But any num- Der of members of this citizenry do speak in endearing and glowing terms of the thorough education and the sound train- ing they received from "Joe' Kennedy as a teacher ard principal.

which drove him to sin, and fol- lowing that, to death.
 But Christ had written the law net in a book but upon mems hearts. It had become an inward thing, allied with all the resources of the soul. vitalizing all good ni- stincts, making this effective in the living of a good life. As soon as Paul mad a vision of Christ, the law lost all its terrors for him. After that he wanted to do what the law very solemnly and harshly com manded him to do. The law of sin and of death had become the law of life, and this law of life now rendered him serene and invincible.
 "T'he letter killeth but the spirit giveth life" When the spirit of Christ lays hold on the soul, the believer hastens gladly to do every thing God requires of him. True morality is always spontaneous. It

After this winter is past and just memory, wonder how many people will be reminiScing about the good old days when the snow was always piled high along the city streets? This has been a winter for any old-timer to mark down in his book as worth remembering. And that doesn't mean you have had to live up in the hills of Goshen to appreciate it's rigors Right here in little old Water bury the wintry blasts and everything that goes with the season have been in superlative degree. OEly the recent thaws and rains have made any impress sion on the mounds of snow along the streets Incidentally, it has been reported that the bare earth is exposed in places that get the full benefit of the sun.

 Finally Mrs. Rankin, smiling sweetly but with a touch of steel in her voice, came over to Mrs. Douglas and said:
