JAPANESE MASSACRE
AN EASTERN "LIDICE" (Rec. 8 a.m.) RAGOON, March 23. Abdul Jabbar Munshi, a 60-year-old Moslem, told the War Crimes Court that when he returned to the Indian settlement of Kalagon, which was called the " Eastern Lidice," after the Japanese massacred 637 people there last year, he found human bones and mangled bodies in some of the village wells. There was no sign of life, and only two houses were intact amid the ruins of a village from whose population of 1,500 only between 100 and 200 found a living in the surrounding forests.
