 Reports of Japanese brutality in Manila reached new mark with the disclosure that more than 5000 American civilian internees at Santo Tomas were subjected to sev- eral days of heavy artillery fire.
 The frenZed enemy deliberately shelled the face of the main build ing at Santo Tomas and the front entrance. Despite their weakened and emaciated condition, the in- terneeS were forced to spend hours day and night in the protected parts of the institution during the bombardment.
 Although the number of dead and wounded among the civilians was not announced, the communicate said the casualties Fortunately were very light" The smelling occurred several days after Santo Tomas was occupied by the First Cavalry Division.
 The final drive to wipe out the pocket of bitterly resisting Japa- neSe in southern Manila was launched yesterday morning.
 United Press Correspondent Ralph Teatsorth watched the assault from a point only 200 yards from the 4O- foot thick wall around Intramuors. Sherman tanks and tank destroyers lined up in rows and fired point blank into the crumbling masonry while heavy artillery poured 10000 rounds of shells into the city, he said.
 The barrage, the most intensive of the Luzon campaign, shattered the enemy defenses along the walls 9nd in the city. Teatsorth added, and the old cathedral in the south ern section appeared to be the only building left standing.

Politics
 -M- Passing

Prosuming that the Legislature approves . pension plan for the City Df Waterbury more or less like that Drupoeed by the recently-disbanded pension retirement commission It's lDotentialities are tremendous. Un- der the suggested plan of financing there would ultimately be created . tremendous pension fund of mill Hons of dollars, which would be ad- nlanistered by a retirement board. It might even come to pass that af the fund were actuarially created hown to the last penny its size would approximate or even surpass the city's budget figures. All of which indicates, again presuming legisla- tive approval, that the choice of the membership of this pension board is extremely important. As the pen- sion would not go into effect (again the presumption of approval un- til 1946 not one member of the board could be exactly determined right now. Several appointeeS will be ofice-holders, but there is an election this fall and until that is decided the membership of the pen- sion board cannot even be haz- hrded.

And speaking of the election in Waterbury this fall local political leaders have yet to declare them selves on the subject of proposed changes in the voting machines, hearings on which were held at the Capitol this past week. One important, yes, radical, change would be the elimination of the party lever on voting machines. Voters would be obliged to vote for candidates, rather than parties. This Is . modification of the prOpor- tionaI representa- tiOn system which is in effect in New York City and which has been tried elsewhere, but not with particular success. It goes hand in hand with the COP effort to divorce state elec- tiOnS from national. The results of last fall give them added strength for proposing this con- stitutiOnal change.

[ After the war is over Westches- Ger county, New York, may give up its proud boast of miles of toll free modern highways in order to make motorists using these roads pay for them, just as Connecticut started to do when it inaugurated It's parkway system with opening of the Merritt Parkway some few years ago. Right now Westches- ter county officials have opened drive to collect $1,OOO, 900 a year ln highway tolls. They figure as did Connecticut officials that the motorists who get the most use of these Super-highways ought to help pay for them. Recall the 4irSt few days when the county did charge motorists using the Hutchinson River and Saw Mill River Pathways? After a short Grial the toll collections were de- elared illegal and the county had to restore the money to those mo- torists who had saved their re- eeipts.
