Inconsistent Moslems

inconsistent Moslems
To the Editor OF The Star:
I am appalled, at the callousness with
which the Moslem League caused 5000
deaths in Calcutta and brought immi-
nent starvation to still other thousands
all this merely to protest British plan
to give independence to India.
Moslem objection to the British plan
seems to be that it would allow the
majority OF the popula ton (the Hindus)
to rule India, The Moslem plan is to
partition India into two states, Mos
lem and Hindu.
Paradoxically in bloody Palestine we
find the Moslem League on the other
side of the fence The Moslems here
are in the great majority, as they have
been for 1000 years, and have kept
Palestine In the same feudal unpro-
ductive state all that time. Here the
Moslem League cries to the high
heavens that the will of the majority
must prevail
Is not majority rule as desirable in
India as it is to the Moslem League in
Palestine? Or is not partition as fair
a solution in Palestine as it is in India
/ wonder If we will hear any explana-
lions from the palatial Office in the
swank Wardman Park maintained by
the feudal lords of the desert

MIR. Kent's Views Criticized
To the Editor Of The Star:
Whose side is Frank r. Kent on.
anyway?
In his column, The Great Game of
Politics" he has opposed wage increases,
price control and decent housing. Now
1t is the enlisted mems terminal leave
pay bill He charges veterans with
sending abusive letters and issuing per-
sonal threats to politicians opposing its
passage and quotes the darling of the
National Association of Manufacturers
and reactionary Republican leadership,
Senator Taft, to the effect that veterans
are not entitled to pay for accrued leave
and that it is IAN unjustifable expendi-
ture."
Such gratuitous insults against de-
Tenders of freedom of expression, which
Mr.. Kent abuses, certainly does call for
inyective, but that would not clear the
atmosphere of untruths. Contrary to
his assertions, the bill was not passed
merely to offset payment of terminal
leave to officers, but to correct a situa-
ton in which millions of enlisted men
would be penalized because they could
not avail themselves of adequate fur
loughs during training and combat.
Since Mr.. Kent is so concerned about
Government finances, let him reflect on
what it would have cost in blood and
money II the war had lasted another
month or even a few more days. Does
it occur to him that couple of hundred
dollars may mean getting a family
started, paying couple of months
rent, or converting Government insur-
ance for thousands who haven't gotten
settled? I. G.

DiCecco In Lecture At Youth Club
 Civic Orchestra
 Director Tells of
 Music Appreciation

Mario DiCecco, director of the Waterbury civic Orchestra, ad- dressed the Waterbury Youth Club last night at their regular meeting held at the Central Y. M. c. A.
 Music in the Community" was his subject. MT. DiCecco said that music began to reach the people only during World War I, and that the development of music in the community parallels the develop ment of music in the nation. Up to the time of the first World War, he said, any serious musical artist had to resort to tricks and minstrel tactics to attract an audience, and when the audience assembled, 1t was to see the artist perform diff flcult feats on his instrument rather than to enjoy his music.
 But since that time radio has brought music much closer to more people although, as Mir. DiCecco pointed out, 1t has kept many out of direct contact with musical in- StEuments and musicians. He em- phasized the importance of bring. ing good music to children, of starting them with story music such as Peter and the Wolf' of Proko- flev which they can easily under stand and enjoy.
 MT. DiCecco pointed out too some of the difficulties of organizing an orchestra in our city over the past 10 years. through years of depres- sion and war. He believes that there is Q great deal of unexplored talent in such communities as ours and also 8 great need for music and musical activity. It is through the efforts of such people as MT. Di- Cecco that music will eventually re- ceive the attention 1t deserves as a necessary part of our lives.
 After the meeting Mir. DiCecco and the members of the Waterbury Youth Club listened to recordings of Beethoven's Tth Symphony in A minor and Liszt's Piano Concerto in E nat. Refreshments were served and dancing followed.
 These meetings Of the Waterbury Youth Club on alternate Friday nights are open to prospective new members.

Florio, later sold, and subsequently, re-possessed by the Premium Corp. Florio again gained its possession although title remained with the Premium concern.
 Florio leased the tractor to the motor lines firm, which was trans porting one of it's trailers with freight from Boston when the acci- dent occurred. The operator, Worth ington, had picked up two hitch hikers, one of whom, Sandley, sub seuuently instituted court action against Florio. The motor lines firm also made a claim because of dam ages to it's trailer and freight.
 The insurance firm claims the policy held by Florio does not cover the particular type of operation in question at the time of the acci- dent.
 It asks the court to issue a de- ciaratory judgment, whether the vehicle and particular operation wal covered by the policy, whether Wor' thington was a servant of Florio ol the motor lines concern, anc whether it has any obligation fol making payment of any judgment obtained in an action against Floric or Worthington. It also seeks ruling on its liability for damage to the trailer and its contents.
 The Firemens Fund Indemnity Company has been entered into the suit as co-defendant since it is insurer for the motor lines firm.
 S10,OOO Suit Filed
 The property litigation, ill which damages of $l0.0o0 are claimed, is brought by Atty. Tim othy s. Sullivan of Waterbury against Anna M. Sullivan nnd also Domenic Iagrossi, also of this city

 On October IS, 1914, Mrs. Sulli- van sold property at 172o-N East Main street to the other defendant although she was warned not to dc so and the buyer was warned mol to complete the transaction, the complaint states.

The court is asked also to order restoration oi the purchase pr;ce to the buyer, anc to cancel a note and mortgage ex. ecuted at the time of the sale.
