Pondit Nehru Leaves Jail

London, June 21-(UP)-The New Delhi radio said today that Pandit Jawaflarlal Nehru, Congress Party leader, arrested yesterday for en- teEing Kashmir, has been released.
 Nehru, who is president desginate of the Indian National Congress Party, was arrested when he defied a ban on his entry into the state. He was jailed on @ charge of agitat- ing against the rule of the local authorities.
 Other dispatches to London said feeling was mounting rapidly in India with revolt Simmering throughout the entire Congress-in- fluenoed territories.
 The Congress working committee deferred @ decision on Viceroy Wis., count Wavells plan for the interim government of India. It was be- Neved here that the Congress Party would make political capital out of the Nehru incident because it of- fered the opportunity of further un- dermining the position of one of Indias strongest ruling princes.
 KaSEmdr is not & part of British India ruled from New Delhi. It is an independent state ruled by Sir HaEd Singh with a British resident at the capital of Srinagar.
 Hari SingfS throne has been un- easy since his accession in 1925. In recent years it has frequently been a'unlored that a private plane always is kept in readiness for his quick getaway if revolt flared.
 Strategically, Kashmir Is impor- tant because it guards Indias north- west approaches.

Fl. s. Coe Warehouse Robbed
 Thieves Employ
 Truck to Transfer
 Commodity

With the sugar shortage already acute, Waterburians will probably find It quite @ bit more so after last nights venture by thieves who took nine tons of the much-sought after commodity from the warehouse of the H. s. Coe Company at 45 Freight Street in Waterbury.
 Police said today thieves jimmied a door at the establishment and boldly drove truck into the ware- house and loaded up with the sugar. Tire tracks of the truck were still evident on the floor of the build ing where the truck backed up to the sugar piled in 100-pound bags and 60-pound cases on the floor.
 Inspector Joseph R. Bendler said the sugar was of the granulated or left in-the-bottom- -of-the cup" kind. It. Ernest Pakul and Detec- tive Joseph Dunphy were at the scene early this morning and con- tinued their investigation.
 With a 1lve-pound portion going to each persons during one ration ing period, it was estimated that approximately 3.600 persons would feel the pinch of last nights sweet" haul.
 R. E. Newell, manager of the warehouse, said the sugar arrived two days ago and cost the concern about $6.50 8 100 pounds. He said the amount of the loss to the com- pa11y is approximately $1,291. He explained that the warehouse sells to the dealer ct $6.62 e 100 pounds.
 Retail price for the missing sugar would amount to about $1,332, MT. Newell said. On the black market, however, @ top-notch price of any, where from $5,4O0 to 5000 could be obtained, Mfr. Newell said current black market prices range from $S0 a 100 pounds to $50.
 Mir. Newell said the nine ton hg- yre is approximate. An inventory is stin being conducted to determine if anything else other than the sugar is missing.

Electric Rates Here
 Higher Than Average
FPC Shows Difference
 C.L.GP. Asserts
 Compony to Make Analysis of Report

Electric rates in Waterbury are higher than those cities of com parable size about the country des- pite reductions during the last 10 years, the latest report of the Fed eral Power Commission discloses.
 Waterbury and New Britain users of electricity pay $1.32 for IS kilo- watt-hours, while those in Lansing, Mich, which has 8 municipality owned power plant, pay 42 cents for the same amount.
 For 100 kilowatt-hours, the charge in Waterbury and New Britain is $S.99, while the national average is $3.73. Consumers in Bridgeport and New Haven pay $3.88. In the average on typical net monthly bills for 250 kilowatt-hours Wa terburians pay SIPS, while New Haven and Bridgeport residents pay only $6.88 for the same, service. In the 1O0-kilowatt-hour group, Hart ford is below the national average, electricity users there paying $3.62.
 In Waterbury and New Britain, users of 25 kilowatt-hours pay a monthly bill of $1.67. The cost is less than $1 in 28 other cities, while the cost In Lansing for this amount is only 70 cents. Tn the 25 killowatt- hour category, Waterbury rates have been reduced POS percent in the last 10 years, says the Federal Commission.
 A spokesman for the Connecticut Light and Power Company told The Democrat today than an an- alysis of the Government reported figtlres is now being made.
 The cost of supplying current per customer in Waterbury, he. said, is far higher than. in either Rridge- port of New Haven. The two latter cities have 8 customer density of 428.7 per square mile, he said mak- ing for lower costs. The density in the area served by the Connecti- cut Light and Power Company is only 59.3 per square mile, he ex- plained.
 A full statement from the company is expected after the analysis of the figures in the Federal report is completed.

Officers Seek Ties to West German Military Clique Sees East West War

 The situation recently has been complicated by the return of about 800 prisoners from camps in the United States where they said their treatment was excellent"
 Officers Lose POundage
 There has been general loss of weight among the officers-Some as much as 50 pounds-but they all ap- peared to be in good shape.
 The camp fairly buzzeS with anti Russian propaganda.
 Vice Admiral Friedrich Ruge, for mer Naval adviser to the late Mar shal Erwin Rommel, said many pris- oners whose families live in the Russian zone have received letters describing the chaotic conditions and hardship there.
 The British have isolated the gen. eral staff officers in two "cages" and do not permit them to talk to the other prisoners

 He was just one graan leaving from
 Waterbury to do his part in policing
 war-toFn world. He was the en- tire draft quota for Waterbury for the month of June. He was Joseph V, Cossu, formerly of Greenwich, but more recently of 135 Scoviu Street.
 It was a far cry from the days when hundreds of men marched proudly from City Hall to Union Station to board 6 train taking them into military service. It was far cry from the days when city officials made heartwarming speeches, when thousands of people thronged the railroad station to say goodbye to their fathers and sons and husbands and brothers and Nephews and cousins,
 Joseph Cossu was just another civilian taking bus ride. He did not even report to the draft board to pick up his papers before leaving. He had picked those tap yesterday afternoon. He also picked up the "leftovers" from the days when hundreds left. He picked up @ leftover" comfort kit which used to be presented by delegation from the Waterbury Servicemen's Com mittee, recently disbanded. He also picked up a leftover medal' usl,al- ly presented by delegation from the Knights of Columbus to the hundreds of men leaving the city to fight for their country.
 And finally, Joseph Cossu wasn't even drafted in Waterbury. He was drafted in Greenwich, but left from this city because he was residing here. The one-man draft quota for June who was supposed to leave from Waterbury had moved to Chi cago. He was John J. GrunausaaS, formerly of Charles Street. Cru nauskas was granted permission to enter the service from that city.
 AS yet there has been no notifica- tion by Selective Service as to what the draft quota will be for the city in July, Miss Mary Dwyer, CO., ordinator of the local draft boards, said this morning. She added that quotas are being withheld until the final status of the draft laws are determined in Washington.

British Prisoner of War Camp zedelghem, Belgium, June 21-(UP) High ranking German officers, the men who converted Hitler's dreams of conquest into the roar of battle, claim another world war is inevit- able.
 Maj.-Gen. Hellmuth Reinhardt, former chief of the general staff in Denmark, said there would not be a long peace because there is too much friction between the East and West"
 A dozen staff officers told me, while on a tour of this Pow Camp, that the third World War is coming but they hastily added "of course we want no more war"
 Seek Ties To West
 '"The general staff does not hope for another war because that war would be fought over Germany" Reinhardt said. We lie in the mid- de. Germany's salvation lies in the West. We must tie to the West. The Russians are taking many Germans to the East. It would be impossible

Text Made Public Souiets Lag Again On Treaty for Japs

Washington, June 21- (UP) -The The State Department made pubAC today the text of a proposed four power treaty under which the United States, Great Britain, the Soviet Union and China would pledge themselves to keep Japan demilitarized for 9 years.
 The treaty would provide for a system of Quadri-partite inspection to make certain that the disarma- ment and demilitarization provis- ions of the treaty are carried out.
 It calls for creation of four power commission of control.
 Russia Lags Again
 The State Department disclosed that Great Britain and China al- ready had acted favorably to Secre- tary of State James F. ByrneS pro- posal on the Japanese diSarma- ment treaty. There had been no re- sponse from the Soviet Union, al- though the draft was circulated more than two months ago.
 The details, of the proposed treaty on Japan are identical with those of the treaty proposed by Secretary of State James F. ByrneS to keep Germany disarmed for 25 years. The German treaty has not been signed, and Russia has objected to it.
 The fourth signatory to the Ger man treaty would be France, in- stead of China.
 Byrnes first revealed his plan for 25-year treaties to keep both Ger many and Japan disarmed on April 29-during the last Big 4" foreign minister's meeting in Paris.
 Reverses U. S. Policy
 The proposal for Germany repre- sented a complete reversal of U. S. policy of keeping out of European affairs and alliances. It came as 8 big surprise to the world. Although Byrnes had circulated his plan pre- viously among the Big 4" power foreign ministers.
 The four powers would agree in the proposed treaty to take steps jointly to insure that:
 1. All Japanese armed forces, para-military forces and all their auxiliaries shall be and shall re- main completely disarmed, demili- tarized and disbandad."
 2. The Japanese imperial general headquarters and the Staffs of all military organizations shall be for ever dispanded.
 3. "No Japanese military or para military organizations in any form or guise shall be permitted in Jap an."
 4. Manufacture, production or importation of military equipment shall be prevented.
 5. Prohibition of establishment, use or operation of any military bases or structures or any plants to produce military equipment.

Stote eC.I.O. Makes PIedqe To BowIes
 Mo-strike Pact
 Agreed Upon IF
 Monoqement Acts

The Connecticut c. r. O. Coun. cil, in 8 letter to Economic Stab- ilizer Chester Bowles today, ex- pressed willingness to support .tf1t proposal for 8 six-months no-strike agreement provided that manage. ment offered suitable pledges ir return. The letter was signed by Harold Senior. publicity director fol the State C.I.O.
 MT. Senior proposed that man. agement, in return for truce pledge by labor, promise to pay 8 de- cent wage to employees and eli1n- mate sub-standard conditions.
 He asked also that management call on Congress to continue the life of the OPA and to provide suf- ficient funds for proper enforcement of price ceiling regulations.
 Thousands in Squeeze"
 At present, said MT. Senior, thou sands of Connecticut workers aHt beAng caught in the "squeeze'' be. tween rising prices and fixed wages Workers, he said, must have guar. anteeS from management befort
 
 economic weapon, tl1e strike.
 "M connection with your reporeed attempt to obtain @ six months mo- strike pledge from the labor orgaI1- izattonS, we recommend that you ask management to make pledge that would provide a proper balance.
 "1f labor were to give up the right to strike, management must agree to pay not less than decent living wage to all workers, to eliminate all sub-standard working conditions that might justifiably be cause for strike in ordinary circumstances; and to agree to cut back the prices of products if corporate profit is in excess of @ reasonable amount, which is the counterpart of the workers decent living wage.
 Wants Arrangements Pledge
 "Also there must be a pledge from management that 1t will make an immediate demand upon Congress for extension of the Price Control Act for @ full year, without amend- ments, and with substantially in creased funds for enforcement.
 Many thousands of Connecticut workers are at present caught in the squeeze of high prices and re- duced take-home pay. Six months without adjustments either in the form of higher wages or substan- tially reduced price would place them in an intolerable economic Therefore they must either retain the unlimited right to strike or re- ceive the pledge of management and producers that they will be justly treated as to wages, working conditions and prices during the bargaining on agreements with the period of truce, through collective unions and price agreements wich O.P.A.
 ''The CI.O. is aware of your own fight for Price Control, but the facts are clear that the powerful forces of industry and business which have demanded greater profits through higher prices, have gained the upper hand in the strug- gle. These are the forces which must reverse their position and go over to your side if they de- sire labor to temporarily discard its most important weapon of eco homie protection for workers"

  Face Draft
 Compromise BM
 Before Congress
 For Quick Action

Washington, June M .%
 (UB)-Zero hour appeared lat hand today for the nation4 19-year- odds.
 Congress had before t . com. promise nine -mma6h dra1b- -exben~ sion measure authorizing conlpssl- sory military service tof those youths.
 The bill, drafted in . Senate House conference after both bodies had sharply disagreed on how the draft law should operate after July l, would make all cfildleSs men from 19 through A liable to induc- tion. And the measure would not bar the l9-year olds from service overseas.
 Short Leads Attack Though all but one of the con- |5erees expected quick Senate ap- proWal of the compromise, Q hot fight was promised in the House.
 Rep. Dewey Short, R.-Mo.), lone hold-out of the Senate House con- ferees against drafting been-aged youth, promised to lead the battle to kill the proposed induction of 19-year-olds when the conference agreement is presented Tuesday for House approval.
 The measure came out of the con- ference accompanied by asl0ther compromise, this one providing pay increase of from 10 to 50 percent for members of the armed forces. They were designed to stimulate voluntary enhstments. The oon- ferees, and for that matter, the Army, were frankly skeptical that the proposed draft extension law would provide the manpower the armed forces want. The Army and Navy both will have to rely heavily on voluntary enlistments.
 Boards Fail On Quotas
 Recent draft calls have been for 51,0OO men a month, but draft boards have failed to meet their quotas. This has been especially true since May IS, when Congress halted the drafting Of IS and A0 year odds.
 The draft-extension legislation, though barring the draft of IS year oldS, does not preclude voluntary enlistments by these and 1T year old boys.
