SOLDIERS COMPLAIN
DESTRUCTION OF EQUIPMENT
IN INDIA
NEW YORK, December 25.
Soldiers returning from India are loud in condemnation of the deliberate destruction of American-produced equipment, says the "Herald Tribune." They claim that the new C 46 transport planes are being destroyed and that old planes, which are good enough to transport soldiers home, are being blown to bits by 5001b bombs. Servicemen's watches are being crushed by steam rollers, costly instruments arriving by air express are being smashed with hammers, and jeeps sunk in lakes or crushed.
The soldiers challenged the army claim that only useless equipment was being destroyed.
