Italian Cabinet Backs
Allegiance TO Axis
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ROME, Jan. THE italian cabi-
net, meeting under Premier Musso-
lini, adopted resolution today
"solemnly reaffrming" Italy's fldel-
ity to the alliance with Germany
and the three-poWer pact, declared
Italy's determination to fight on to
victory and expressed confidence in
the capabilities of the Italian
people.
The cabinet, by acclamation,
adopted this resolution:
"The Council of Ministers at the
end of work in its January session
of the year 19 (of the Fascist regime)
sends greetings full of admiration
to commanders of the troops Of
the army, navy, air force and
militia (Black Shirts who are
fighting heroically on many fronts
against the forces of British i'm
perialism and its satellites and in
the face of puerile maneuvers and
absurd threats of enemy propaganda
on this and the other side of the
ocean.
1T solemnly reafirms Italy's un-
shakeable fidelity to the axis and
tripartite pacts and its no less
unshakeable decision to continue
the fight until victory, which must
give Italy its just place in the new
Europe and liberate the world from
hypocritical and exploiting oppres-
sion of British plutocracy.
The Council of Ministers ex-
pressed absolute conviction that
the deep masses of Fascist Italy
are and will be in every circumstance
equal to events"

1--WE have no idea now what is
to be eventually needed the officer
said. The defense program is
constantly changing. And the ma
chine tool industry is being made a
scapegoat around Washington be-
cause of the tendency TO seek a
goat for lack of speed in the defense
program. The American Nation
does not understand how much ex-
cellent speed weshave already made
in the few months since the defense
program was begun.
This meeting will be closed be-
cause members want to thresh out
problems which might reveal infor-
nation useful to Germany. If Hit
ler knew exactly how far advanced
we were he really would be sick,
because after we have fooled up our
defense industries the flow of sup
plies will be nothing short of phe-
nomenal"
Among the "choke points" listed
by members present, was the fact
that normally the machine-tool in
dustry ships products valued at
about $3.50, 100000 annually. In 1941
this total is expected to increase
to $3.50, 900 900, and perhaps more.
Shortage of Gauges.
A shortage exists in gauges, be-
cause every operation in the vastly
expanded machine tool industry re-
quires measuring instruments &C
curate to within thousandths of an
inch. In ordinary times the gauge
industry shipped s4,00O,0O0 in prod
ucts annually. Now they are being
asked to ship $16,000,O00 worth an
nually.
The British are expected to place
an order for s80,000,000 worth Of
machine tools for munitions manu-
| featuring in this country, although
existing facilities are already
swamped with orders marked Al
priority.
Manufacturers have learned that
the supply of airplanes being built
to carry 20-mm cannon will be
available sooner than the cannon
themselves. Therefore, facilities for
making this small cannon, which
fires an explosive shell, must be in
creased Immediately.
Plane manufacturers have been
told by the British that American
warplanes must be equipped with
eight to twelve 50-caliber machine
guns instead of the present two So

SEATTLE, Jan. 7.-Herbert Mic
coils, killer at IL, gained his free
dom today, equipped with a high
school diploma earned during his
nine years behind prison walls, and
determined to vindicate Governors
confidence in him.
Niccolls, at 81 frail and studious
appearing youth, was granted an
executive parole yesterday by Gov.
Clarence D. Martin after arrange
ments had been completed for him
to start work today as an apprentice
in a machine shop.
Nine years ago, Herbert, an ILL
dressed, emaciated lad whose father
had been sent to an Idaho asylum
for the insane, fatally shot elderly
Sheriff John Wormell at Asotin,
Wash, when he surprised the boy
as he was burglarizing an Asotin
store.
Isolated While in Prison.
Niccolls said later he had meant
only to scare the sheriff. Gov.
Martin, in reporting the parole,
asked:
"You went into the store because
you were hungry, didn't you?"
Herbert nodded assent.
From the start of his prison life
Herbert, because of his youth. was
kept apart from most of the in
mates of the State Penitentiary at
Walla Walla. He was tutored by
prison officials, hand-picked inmates
and the Walla Walla school super
intendent.
A year ago Gov. Martin had him
taken to the State Hospital at Med
ical Lake, where he was placed
under the care of psychiatrists.
Grateful for Freedom.
"The doctors have given Herbert
full clearance" said Gov. Martin.

or mentally"
Niccolls expressed gratitude for
the chance to stand on my own
feet" then observed;

been shut away from the world since

individual Promotion
Held Beyond Control
OF Budget Bureau
Warren Rules Agency
Can Regulate Only Total
For Announcements

The Budget Bureau can control
the total amount a Government
agency may use for making Within
grade promotions, but has no au-
thority over ALLEGATIONS for the ad-
vancement of individual employees,
Controller General Warren told the
Secretary of War in decision made
public today.
The War Department raised the
issue because of the so-called pro-
motion formula set up by the Budget
Bureau at the outset of the current
fiscal year in conformity with re-
port from the House Appropriations
Committee designed to grant prece-
dence for within-grade pay raises to
employees who had not received an
advancement for several years.
THE Budget Bureau does not pur-
port to make the formula thus pre-
scribed binding upon the adminis-
trative Offices said the Controller
General.
The broad ruling was laid down in
a case in which the War Department
sought to restore the $3,100 salary
of an employe who resigned to take
Reserve cimmission but failed in
the physical tests and was subse-
quently restored to his civilian post.
The resignation had gone into effect
before the enactment of the law
protecting the job rights of service
men and the War Department con-
sequently asked if the promotion
formula would be violated by giving
the worker $500 instead of $500
the entrance salary of his grade.

caliber guns and four 30-caliber
machine guns. This means an enor-
nous expansion in building the
larger machine gun and a conse-
quent heavy drain on the machine
tool industry.
On Full-Time Basis.
Mr.. Knudsen's speech was expect
ed to be a reiteration of his recent
letter to the industry stressing the
terrible urgency" of the moment
for machine tools.
Nothing is more vital to our coun-
try's welfare just now than to hasten
the supplying of desperately needed
machine TOOLS" Mr.. Knudsen de-
clared.
The industry is now operating on
a "all out" basis, with equipment
in use seven days week, "a hours
a day, various members of the as
sociation said, and deliveries can
not be promised for at least six
months.
The most momentous problem
facing the industry is developing
sub-contractors for parts of the COM
pleted tools, so that production may
be expanded swiftly, manufacturers
agreed. Mr.. Knudsen, in his letter
last month, declared he realized the
difficulties of sub-contracting for
such accurate tools, but 'if some
manufacturers of highly accurate
tools can do this, more can"

parade, struggling over complica-
tions growing out Of the war between
the A. S. c. A. P. and the networks,
