CASTE FRICTION
LOOMS IN INDIA
England Calls For Equal
Representation In New
Congress

BOMBAY, June IL W.H -Sardar
Vallabhai Patel, member of the
all India Congress working com.
mittee, said today the Congress
has no place in the Simla confer
ence on British proposals for
broadening India's self-government
if Britain clings to stiprlations for
equality between Moslems d
cast Hindus in a reorganized vi
ceregal executive council.
Caste Hindus are those classified
by the rigid castles, or religious
divisions. They do not include
those Indians who, under such a
system, are considered below the
castles and are unclassified.
Britain's white paper issued
Thursday proposed that the Vice
roy should choose his executive
council from Indian political lead
ers I'm proportions which would
give a balanced representation of
the main communities, including
equal proportions of Moslems and
Caste Hindus.
Patel, who in addition to being
committee member is an aide
to Mohandas K. Gandhi, pointed
out that the all-India Congress rec
ognizes no differences among In
dams It claims to represent all.
IF the condition regarding par
ty between caste Hindus and Mos

MANY CITIES HIT
Tons OF Bombs
Heaped On Jap Home
land This Month

GUAM, Monday, June 18.-WH
-Four powerful task forces OF 400
to $50 B-29 Superfortresses show
cred nearly 5000 tons of fire bombs
on Japanese industrial centers on
Kyushu and Honsnu early today,
striking over a 5O0-mile front in
the 18th consecutive day of air as
saults on Japan.
The giant bombers, in their 7th
assault of the war on Japan as
sailed the thousands of small
piece-work plants known as
shadow factories in the Honsnu
cities of Yokkaichi and Hama
matsu and the Kyushu cities Of
Omuta and Kagoshima.
The assault was made in pre-
dawn darkness. The great fleets
battled bad weather to reach their
targets as they ran to 1880 tons
the weight of bombs heaped on the
Japanese homeland this month in
a campaign which Army Gen.
Henry H. Arnold said would re-
suit in the complete and utter de-
struction of industrial Japan"
None of the four targets had
been subjected to about attacks
before, although Hamamatsu and
Kagoshima had both suffered
damage from secondary raids.
Kagoshi1na, a major port, is on
the southern tip of Kyushu, and
Omuta, which had been hit last
summer by the Goth Bomber Com
mand when it was pioneering raids
on Japan from China bases, is 100
miles to the north on the west
coast. Yokkaichi is Is miles SOUTH
west of Nagoya and Hamamatsu
is SIS miles southeast of Nagoya.
The planes thus struck against
areas about 500 miles apart
The widespread assault, the first
four-way attack on such a scale,
marked the second raid of the
second year of B-29 aerial warfare
against Japan. The new year op-
ened Saturday with a 3,000ton
assault on Asaka which Arnold
said marked the start of a cam
paign to batter Japan with 2,0O0,-
900 tons of bombs in the next year.
All Of today's targets were cit-
les of under 100000 population.
Maj. Gen. Curtis E LeMay, 21st
Bomber Command chieftain, said
the attacks marked the beginning
of the second phase of B-29 op-
erations against the Japanese
homeland. He said that six major

Relief from the present hous- ing shortage in the Nome area has just been made possible. George w. Coplen, regional rep resntative of the National Hous- ing Agency, announced recently that this locality has been de- termined eligible for an unlimit- ed number of residential con- version priorities. This action is in accordance with the recent announcement of the War Pro- duction Board and the National Housing Agency that such prior ities would be made available in areas where MIA determines that housing shortages are caus- ing extreme hardships.
 Apartment houses and other existing dwelling units may now be remode1ed or converted to provide smaller housing units Applications for permission to convert or remodel such struc- lures should be filed with the Federal Housing Administration, a constituent unit of MIA, in Portland, Oregon. The applicant will be permitted use of mate rials in the War Housing Criti- cal List and the rents charged will be under OPA regulations
