Calcutta Is Uneasy
But Quiet in Wake
|0f Riots Fatal 10 81
BY the Assoeiaied Press

/ CALCUTTA, Feb. 14.--An air OF
uneasy quiet hung over Calcutta to-
day after three days of widespread
anti British disturbances which un-
confirmed reports said left 81 per-
sons dead and nearly 400 injured.
/ Strong British military detach-
ments continued to patrol the city,
where 13 were killed and more than
$50 hurt yesterday In repeated
clashes between military forces and
mobs which appeared bent on de-
stroying anything connected with
the government.
| Transportation remained at a
standstill this morning and tele-
lphone, telegraph and postal opera
tions were seriously affected. Euro
pean shops, many Of which were
damaged and looted in Tuesdays
uprising, remained closed in most
sections. Two post Offices have been
looted.
Garbage Piles Up in Streets.
A nauseating stencil hung over
many areas as garbage piled up in
the street because of interrupted
collection service. Gas street lights
in some sections remained unlit
during the night.
The All-India Congress party, the
Moslem League and the Communist
party sent peace squads into dis
turbed areas last night and after a
midnight tour they expressed the
opinion that the situation would i'm
prove, although their automobiles
were attacked by mobs.
A thousand American troops on
leave in Calcutta were evacuated
for safety after five officers and 10
enlisted men were injured early in
the disturbances, which resulted
from a protest against the sentenc-
ing of q Moslem officer of the Japa-
nese-sponsored Indian National
Army" who was reported to have
gone on hunger strike today.
GIs Showered With Bricks.
| Nineteen more American casual
ties were reported last night when
convoy of 800 homeward- bound
GIs was showered with bricks and
a rail tie dropped from an overhead
bridge near Kanchrapara.
Three soldiers suffered conclusion,
but all except Pfc. Max B. Benton
| of Tabor City, N. c., were able to
board the Seattle-bound Marine
Angel. Benton is expected to leave
the hospital within a few days.
The others who suffered concus-
sion were Sergt. James P. Kenny of
New York City and Corp. Frank G.
PaSsola of New York City.
A mob estimated at 400 persons
attacked the Methodist Church,
overwhelming police detachment
and forcing its way into the build
ing, where it set fire to the altar,
smashed furniture and religious fit
tings and tore up hymnals. Other
mobs attacked Gurkha troops en-
ployed by the British.

Within the committee, most of
the members showed hostility to
the bill, but Sen. Joseph H. Ball
(R. Mimi used the hearings as
a forum for constant sniping at

the latter takes precedence. An
additional obstacle to holding
the election before May Z was
pointed out in that the law
provides that ample time must
be allowed to mail ballots to
servicemen. This cannot be done
if an earlier election is ordered
say officials.
Vote Seems Assured
Based upon the number of
valid names already checked
and the large number of petit
tions turned in by PAC, 1t now
appears that the tax issue will
be placed on the ballot and will
be voted upon on May z when
the party primaries are held.
Richard Gosser who was re-
sponsible for the circulation of
the petitions stated that the
purpose of PAC placing the tax
ordinance on the ballot was to
give the citizens an oportunity
to accept or reject the ordinance
and confirm or repudiate the
members of Council who passed
the measure in January.

mittee in urging the Region 2-B
director TO make the race.
Gosser Position Unknown
Up to the present time neither

statement. Friends of the di-
rector, however, express their
belief that they will be able to
prevail upon him to make the
race.
Said Melvin Schultz, "I do not
know if Dick will make the race
or not, but l do feel that he is
one of the best qualified candi-
dates for Frankensteen's post.
He has made a record that is far
out in front and shows the
quality of his leadership. We
all hope that Dick will consent
to be a candidate because he has
the qualities of leadership which
fit him to go higher in the

statement:
Il know OF no man in the

After Dark
Theater's Loss of Vaudeville Was
Night Life's Gain of the Same
By Harry Macarthur

on one theater circuit, lot OF ex-
vaudevillians are showing up in the
night clubs and that Is happy
state of night club affairs. Those
trained in vaudeville are the boys
who know their show business. They
know there is more to entertaining
an audience than telling 1t dirty
jokes, then insulting 1t If 1t does
not laugh fast enough.
Mr.. Reeves, for example, is a
lanky, dropping sort with sad and
dropping face. At the Trade Winds,
his act is partly the one he was
doing at the Capitol Theater few
months ago and partly new. But old
or new, any gag is>improved by the
Reeves telling of it. He's been in
the business for two and a half
decades, first as dancer, then as a
member of the threesome formed
by Eddie Jackson to take over the
act when the Clayton, Jackson and
Durante Trio broke up, and finally
as a single. A man can pick up a
lot of finesse in a quarter-century
of entertaining.
1t is in his treatment of the ever
present ringside hecklers that Mr..
Reeves proves his superiority over
the saloon comics who can't decide
whether an off color joke or an
insult is funnier. A persistent lass
