Rabbit Chow Goat Chow Turkey Chow Dog Chow i 1U By WALTER L. BRlGGS CALCUTTA, Nov. A line of sadjeyed, hungry native" women, many of them carrying a naked child, watched without emotion as coolies picked up rag-covered corpse from the sidewalk in front of them, and dumped it into a police wagon.

In police records went these entries on that victim of Bengal's famine: "Nameunknown; sex-male; age nhout 55; Indian bazaar section." From 30 to 40 times a day disposal squads re-enact that scene I saw as I toured Calcutta's streets In one of the, police wagons. They picked up sometimes one, sometimes as many as three bodies. The corpses are sewn in sacks to be dumped in a hole in the ground or, if Hindu, taken to the city burning ghat for cremation. Ount Conservative And more bodies come from the city hospitals at the rate of 85 to 100 daily. Official announcements said G7 died of starvation in the hospitals here Wednesday while nonoffieial groups cremated or buried 95 more.

Responsible sources believed the Calcutta figures were conservative. Based on the scanty official information, and figuring that the famine is worse in rural areas, some 40,000 may be dying each week in the province. (A New Delhi dispatch sajd Viceroy Lord Wavell had called a meeting alL Indian provincial governors for the third week in November to discuss economic problems, particularly the food situation.) UoveirnTJjeiit Aids While nearly 100,000 still roam the streets here, there was a marked reduction in the homeless due to a government program to place the city's destitute in camps and send villagers back home. But many fled, distrusting or ignorant of the government's intentions. Men, women and children die for want of food such hs rice, now seven to eight times above normal prices despite government controls.

They curl up on the side walks with rags over their faces, unmoving, waiting for death. Children and mothers pick through wormy overripe oranges thrown out by vendors or through peelings discarded by fruit purchasers in the markets. I watched coolies unload the body of the man "unknown, about i tt emit oiiuvt- ti iiilw a niiru mi.ii others. An awful stench came from the shed. Over on the other side of the city the workers at the city ghat found it difficult to keep their fires high enough to dispose of the Hindu bodies.

Similar situations exist everywhere in the province and reports from some places saw people, too weak to take time to dispose of the bodies properly, throw them into the rivers. 48-Hour Work Week In DeKalb County CHICAGO, Nov. 6 William H.
