ficial announcement broadcast by
the New Delhi radio said today that
the Indian troops who form the
bulk of the British force in the
Dutch East Indies will begin leav-
ing the islands tomorrow and will
complete their withdrawal by July.
New Delhi said Gen. Sir Claude
Auchinleck, British commander
ln-chief for India. announced the
scheduled evacuation before a meet
ing of the Indian central legislature.
Auchinleck said the civil or poll
teal problems which have arisen in
Indonesia were not the affair of
the Allied military authorities and
that it was now up to the Dutch
and IndonesianS to reach q peace
full settlement.
The sole concern of the Allied
Military Command, he said was to
provide such conditions in Java
and the other Dutch East Indian
islands as would permit peaceful
discussions to take place.
Consequently, Auchinleck said, the
British Indian forces in the islands
have been ordered to start their
withdrawal tomorrow.

Committee that the House. approved

II would. he said, drive bitter. :.
desperate" men to leave their jobs.
He said the measure encroached
on the authority Of the NLRB and
was restrictive legislation aimed d.
rectly, and solely at workers.
Criticizing the proposed penalties
for !. picket line violence as too
drastic and too rigid" Hersog said
they might lead to a revival of the

Demurrer
In Tax Suit
Trial Of Issues
Asked by Judge
In His Decision

A demurrer Of the City Of Water
bury in the tax revaluation suit of
the American Republican, Inc, was
overruled today by Superior Court
Judge Francis A. Pallotti, who
stated the case lis one which will
affect the rights of every taxpayer
in the City Of Waterbury" and that
it can be best determined by a
trial Of all the issues.
In his memorandum of decision,
Judge Pallotti points out that the
demurrer, in which the city claimed
the action was premature, was ad-
dressed to the entire complaint. The
jurist then states, 1T follows there
fore than the demurrer must be
overruled IL under the allegations of
the complaint the plaintiffs may be
entitled to any Of the relief sought"
The newspaper firm had chal-
lenged the legality OF efforts by the
city to collect taxes in excess Of the
amount Of money needed for It's
expenses, In. its complaint 4 asks
for decinsatcfy J1dgnaents cetefI1aila-
ing various issues pertaining TO the
set tax rave Of 2e.75 mills.
Issues WIN Clarity
Judge Pallotti comments, "It may
very well be that upon q trial of
the issues it will appear that the.
Board Of Aldermen was justified in
fixing the rate Of 28.75 mills In light
of the information then before it.
This cannot be determined by q
demurrer"
The jurist points out that the
City Charter requires the Board
Of Aldermen to lay a tax before
December IS.
Clearly, II the Board of Alder
men Of the City Of Waterbury has
the power to fix the tax rate in the
time it did (and 1t concededly had),
1t must follow that a resident and
taxpayer has the right to bring an
fC0rtinircd ON paCa ~
