Mother Identifies
Victim of Seattle
Rapist Murderer

SEATTLE, Oct. 13. CUP)-Police
were without definite clues today
in their search for the slayer OF
Mrs Hazel Shaw, 34-year-old ship
yard worker and divorce who in
vestigators said was raped and stran-
gled Saturday night.
Mrs. Shaw left home Saturday
night for a dance hall where she
worked one night a week. Her body
was found Sunday morning beside
a road in the South Seattle resi-
dental district.
The slain woman lived with her
mother, Mrs. Charles Shaw. She
was the divorced wife of her moth
er's stepson, Walter Shaw. 1t was
almost 36 hours after her death be-
fore the mother identified the body.
Police were attempting today to
trace a telephone call Mrs. Shaw
received shortly before she left
home. They said also there was a
possibility she had accepted a ride
in an automobile and was attacked.
She had been thrown from a car,
police said, probably still alive.

American Italians
No Longer Enemy

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13-.UP)-
The urgineS of two high American
officials that Italians revolt against
Benito MusSolini and throw off the
Shackles of their German oppres-
sors were being shortwaved TO Italy
today.
The invitations to revolt were
made in New York yesterday by
Attorney General Francis Biddle
and Assistant Secretary of State
A. A. Berle in Columbus day speech
eS.
Biddles suggestion of revolt was
emphasized by his order that 60O,-
GOO italian national residents in this
country be removed Oct. 10 from
the status of 'alien enemies" That
will return to them the full free
dom of movement and life they en-
joyed before Pearl Harbor.
His speech followed the charges
By Berle that Nazi plans contemp-
late the death of a great part of
Italians land indeed, of virtually
every Italian soldier"
Biddle said that the favored
treatment being given Italian non
citizens was this country's reward
for their proven loyalty to her.

d Axis Planes
Downed at Malta

VALETTA, Malta, Oct. 13-CUPp
-Twenty-four Axis planes were
shot down and so damaged yester-
day in a series of heavy, savage
attacks on this British citadel in
the midMediterranean, it was an
nounced today.
The days bag brought the total of
enemy planes downed since Satur-
day to Al, in addition to scores
damaged, some so badly that they
probably crashed at sea,
So ferocious were the German
and italian attacks, despite their
cost in planes, that many observ-
ers believed they. foretold an early
resumption of big scale fighting on
the Alamein front in North Africa
1t was indicated that Field Mar
shall Erwin Rommel either hoped to
start new attack himself or was
trying desperately to reinforce his
desert army to meet a British at
tack, using the planes which are
attacking Malta as a screen to cover
conYoys.
