MUSSOLINI HAD TO CHEAT TO WIN
(Continued from Page D

like a novice, and he violated every tennis rule and tradition by walking at least two steps beyond the base line to serve.
 Even so, the two young athletes who were playing against him had difficulty in returning his soap bub- ble serves. It was soon apparent that he was too good" for them they themselves made it obvious.
 Whenever they did return, the ball floated slowly up so that lame man with broken arm could have hit it.
 Il Duce lobbed, smashed and smiled, pleased with this triumph.
 After five games, Mussolini stopped playing and received from the Fascists blackchirts in the gal- lery fawning congratulations.
 Thanks" he responded. T am proud to have won."
 The correspondents aN heard him, and gasped. They had seen him leave his house and knew he had played five games only, three of which he had lost despite the ef- forts of his opponents to force vic- tory upon him.
 asked the press officials the ex- act score. Somewhat confused, they called over the three Fascists who had been playing with Duce and asked them.
 Seven to five in favor of Il Duce," :" they chorused as a man.
 It occurred to this correspondent then that if he could not afford to lose even tennis game for fear of suffering loss of prestige, it was evident to what ends he had to go in this world war to keep the Italian people from knowing he was losing.
 Same Technique Today
 Mussolini is using his tennis technique today to force the Italian people to continue with 8 war they all hate.
 This willingness to cheat was ap- parent when he attacked Greece in October, 1940. I was the only for eign correspondent to reach the advanced Italian forces in Greece. They had been halted before Janina.
 It was clear that not more than 30,000 troops were being used in that great" offensive.
 It was fake tennis match. The Greeks were supposed to lose; the Italians had scattered the bribes in advance. The Germans had to go to the aid of Mussolini five months later, after a great sacrifice of Ital- ian lives.
 At the very outset of this war against Greece, Marshal Pierto Badoglio, the hero of Ethiopia, and a reluctant member of the Fascist party protested. He was removed from his post as chief of general staff of all the armed forces, and forced into retire. ment.
 Mussolini doesn't want advice: his advisors know one word well. It is "yes."
 He has surrounded himself with men who dare only to applaud. Mussolini must win every match, seven to five, even if he has played only live games and lost three.

General Grant Tanks
 Are Helping British
Continued from Page D

The force which took Segnali was believed to be one of two columns sent out on daring missions" from Sir Hacheim. One drove almost straight west into the Segnal and Tengeder area from where the orig inal Axis offensive was launched a week ago.
 The communique said the Axis forces successfully attacked Bir Hacheim throughout yesterday and that the area west of Knightsbridge was the scene of considerable fight ing"
 Heavy Sandstorrns
 Heavy sandstorms hampered air and land operations" it added.
 The British credited Ronmel with one minor success along the mine fields stretching northwestward from Sir Hacheim to Fl Gazala. It said his forces had succeeded in occupying the area between the two gaps in the fields, one at Mteifel -Seghir, about 40 miles southwest of Tobruk, and another at Ualeh 15 miles farther south.
 But dispatches and authoritative reports said Rommel was suffering tremendous losses of equipment as the British pressed their counter attack. At least 1,260 enemy tanks and vehicles already have been cap- tured or destroyed.
 While Rommel stepped up his pressure from the west, Lieut.. Gen Neil M. Ritchie's British eighth army countered with new blows from the east in an effort to wipe out all resistance. Farther east other British units were reported ''mopping up" small forces that were left along the original Axis line of advance last week.
 Front dispatches said a large enemy force was involved at KnightSbridge and both sides were hurling all available equipment into action. Despite recurring sand storms, British infantry units were on front-line duty.
 Rommel was making no further effort to withdraw additional me- chanized forces through the gaps in the mine fields, and some observers believed he was gambling on the outcome of the Knightshridge bat tie to retrieve his defeat.
 Heavy loss of equipment, how ever, appeared to preclude an Axis success. Already about half of the German and Italian tanks in Libya are believed to have been knocked out or captured.

Rommel, if hard pressed, might be able to withdraw over the desert wastes and avoid the roads at night time, thereby slipping through the Segnali forces.
 Today's communique announcing the taking of Segnal!, i" sued by Gen. Sir Claude J. E. Aue nleck, Britt ish commander-in chief, also dis closed that Imperial forceS yester- day threw back another Axis at- tack in the Bir Hacheim area.
 Segnali, identified in the com munique as "Rotunda Segnali," is A miles almost due west ot Knightsbridge, the desert cross- roads 28 miles southwest of Tobruk where hard-pressed Axis units were reported still battling flercely against increasing Imperial press ure.

 Chuhsien, on the Chekiang-Kiang railway, appeared the immediate objective of tie Japanese eastward drive from Kinhwa. The city was bombed heavily by the Japanese re- gently, presumabl yfor fear the AL lies would use its airfield as a base for raids against Japan.

 Combined operations headquar- Eers announces that Lord Louis Mountbatten, chief of combined op- erations, has arrived in the United States on a short visit during which he will consult with representatives of United States fighting forces"
 Mountbatten was placed in charge of the British commandos only re- gently, having commanded the Brit ish aircraft carrier IllustriouS fol- l lowing its repair in this country last year.
 ] It was considered possible that ! MolEntbatten might discuss certain aspects of training American coun- terpaZts of the commandos, whose daring raids on German outposts in Norway and Occupied France have won them high acclaim.
 Disclosure that high Allied offi- Cials are drafting master plans oi last night following the arrival o1 the Lgttelton mission.
 Master Plans
 The negotiation of master plans are being conducted by men with authority to make decisions and ! colnn.itments, but as yet their exact nature and locale are closely 1 guarded secrets. As particularly Important are conversations among the nUited States, the Soviet Union and Great Britain.
 Lsyttelton and the officials that accompanied him here confer witt ;, Harry L. Hopkins, Lend-Lease ex- pediter, and War Production Boarc Y Chairman Donald Nelson. They will review the British supply organ ! 1zation in the United States in tht light of the combined machinery fol Anglo American cooperation whici was set up when Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Lord Beaver. brook were here last December.
 On . recent visit to London, Lieu. tenant General Brehon Somervell chief of the U. S. Army Supply Services, emphasized the import. ance of standardizing Allied wal equipment, and it was believed tha that would be one of the objec' tives of the Lyttelton misison.
 Lyttelton was accompanied by Si NETa1kAVa nxrkA aI1inf aI "A programmes and planning, ant other members of his staff, anc representatives of the office O Minister of Defense, and of tht supply department.
 The negotiations on Master plan represent further attempts to CO ordinate the war effort of the Unite< Nations. Specific reporting of tn, current conversations as to names places and details is not possibl, now. The talks have not been con fined to any one of the major Alliet capitals, but it is possible to sa. that Washington, london and Mos COW are the focal points.
 The government leaders are be- Meved to be talking in terms O broad policy and strategy, leaving the mechanics of action to expert of their armed forces and economic groups. Generally the talks are be. Meved to deal primarily with:
 The opening of a second European front.
 More effective pooling of United nations raw materials and produc. ti0n facilities.
 Plans for 8 better Allied world system of transportation.

 Supreme Court Ruling
 Hartford, Conn, June 3.-(UP)- The state supreme court, for the second time in two years, ruled to- day that Connecticuts anti-birth control law enacted in 1879 was con- stitutional.
 The court voted 3 to 3 in favor of upholding the legality of the statute, the same margin which up- held similar test of the statute in 1940.
 The new case arose from a re- quest for a declaratory judgment in New Haven superior court by Dr. Wilder Tileston, New Haven.
 He asked whether the law pro- hibited a licensed physician from prescribing contraceptive devices for married women where pregnancy would endanger life or health. The case was reserved to the supreme court.
 Tn 194O the test case concerned a Waterbury birth control center. The majority opinion in the cur rent case was supported by Chief Justice William M. Maltbie, and Justices Arthur F. Els and Allyn L. Brown. A minority opinion was written by Justices Christopher L. Avery and Newell Jennings. The majority opinion constantly pointed out that the legislature has not changed the law passed in 1879, and consequently 1t appeared that the "intent" of the General As- sembly was to keep the law intact.
 ''It's refusal to make any change" said the majority opinion, "impels us to the conclusion that not even in such situations as are presented in the instant case did the legisla- ture wish to permit exceptions. It is not our function to doubt the wis., dom of these statutes or question their propriety."
 The minority opinion said:
 "A reasonable construction of the statute, considering its history and the circumstance under which it was enacted, requires that 1t be SO in- terpreted as to permit duly licensed physicians to prescribe to married women contraceptive devices and in- formation necessary to prevent con- ception when in the judgment of the physician conception would in- peril the life or health of the patient"

 Marie was. When she came back the third time Badly was telling Peggy the whole story of his life. Peggy was listening as though she was hearing for the first time a story for which she had waited all her teens. She had learned from Myra, who had impressed upon her at various times that the only way to make a deep impression on a man is to listen to him attentively at the very times when you'd rather not. A handy trick for her bag of conspiracies, she decided.

westward Ho, 10 the tOQeO.
 Only this time you're going to get more than the usual spills and chills, lanky cowboys, bucking horses and the general atmosphere of cactus and sagebrush, for Gene Autry, who is bringing his own Flying A Ranch Stampede to the New Haven Ayena starting on Tues day night, May l2 and running through oMnday, May l8, has pro- duced as lavish ana glamorous pro- duction as eyer graced Broadway.
 Brilliant costumes, pageantry, music and beautiful professional dancers from Hollywood will vie with the hard-hitten, levi-clad cow boys for the spotlight. While at tempting to give a true depletion of real western rodeo such as the east seldom, if ever witnesses, Autry also blieves that 1t should be glamo11zed to please all tastes, so this year of the mothers, daugh- terS, wives or SweetheartS of dyed- in-the-wool rodeo fans shie from the Snorting bulls and bucking horses, there will be plenty of color, music and gentler entertainment to keep them happy, too.
 Practically all the top flight cow boys in the country have Signif1ed their intention of registering in the rodeo contests. A sizeable money purse and trophies will be put up, and the events will prove 8 real test of skill.

He picked up an illustrated magazine, put it down again, picked up a book and tossed 1t aside. He felt the need of company. The morning on the island had been fun, and he frown- ed at thought of the afternoon stretching ahead in loneliness.
 Marie came to tidy the veranda. Have you seen Miss Ransom, Marie?" he asked.
 "She went of with Mir. Mack, sir"
 Have you seen MT. Lorton2"
 "Ee went of with the elder Miss Mack, sir"
 "Well, where is everyone2"
 "T'he younger Miss Mack Is in the rockery, sir"
 When Nigel arrived there, Peggy was putting a handkerchief over the face of the sleeping Badly to keep the flies off him.
 She saw Nigel and put her fln- gers to her lips. "Sh!" she said Don't disturb him, his voice needs a rest" Then she took Nige's arm Let's go exploring"
 Peggy congratulated herself as she and Nigel tip-toed from the rockery. She congratulated herself on a neat piece of organizing but she realized that it was still toe soon to monopolize Nigel. If only they could explore and find Fay and Michael. If Michael was all his eyes promised underneath his re- serve and if he had the initiative that was common possession of the rest of the Mack family, then there was a distinct chance that they would find him with Fay in such close proximity that Nigel would be further discouraged.
 Badly, with luck and protection from the flies, would sleep until it was too late to think of returning to New York that day and mean while she would get some new ideas. As if she needed them!
