Davis Has No Doubt
That Spain Will
Remain Neutral
Announces Creation
OF owl Bureau to
Keep British Informed

Elmer Davis. director of thu
Once OF War Information, declared
today that there is every reason
to believe that Spain will remain
neutral in the war. He described
as very significant" the recent visi,
of the Spanish foreign minister to
Portugal and the subsequent dec
laration of neutrality and solidarity
which resulted from the visit.
Mr., Davis added that Spain and
Portugal had formed a mutual Iber-
ian bloc. There has never oeen
any doubt concerning the neutrality
of Portugal, he continued.
The formation of a British Divi-
sion of owl to give the English
people better idea of what Amer
leans are doing and thinking about
was announced by Mr.. Davis.
u. S. to Send Movies.
The new division will have its
headquarters at Washington. 1t will
be headed by Ferdinand Kuhn. jr..
for the past two years Assistant to
the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr..
Kuhn previously was chief of the
London bureau of the New York
Times. The London representative
OF the division will be Representa-
tive Eliot, Democrat, of Massachu-
sets. Mr.. Eliot was defeated in
the recent elections.
Commenting on establishment of
She new division, Mr.. Davis said the
British people are anxious for in
formation about America. He said
That because of the 'blitz," the Brit
lSh probably are thinking more
seriously than any other nation
about preventing another large
scale war.
Mr.. Davis said we will furnish
England with motion pictures de-
oicting Americas effort. Declaring
that films can be the most powerful
instrument of propaganda. Mr..
Davis said those supplied to the
British would conform to the ma
tional interest"
Radio Morocco Controlled.
Mr.. Davis revealed that on Mon
day the United States acquired
some degree of control over Radio
Morocco" BroadcaSts over this
radio have caused much concern
among the United Nations. He said
we were also supplying more news
over the Algiers, radio both to the
French people and our troops in
North Africa.
The civilian popula ton of North
Africa. Mr.. Davis continued. had
never heard of either the Doolittle
raid on Toxic, or the Dieppe raid on
Northern France until our troops
landed last month.
Discussing the proposal that news
print must be reduced further. Mr..
Davis said American newspapers
viii never be curtailed as much as
in the rest of the world. 1t will be
necessary, he added, to compress
news and advertising to some ex-
tent.
He went on TO say that the War
Production Board should cut news
PRINT to the extent it thinks neces-
sary and leave its use up to the
individual paper.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Order of the Sons Of Italy in
America, which says it represents
about SOC, 900 American citizens of
Italian origin, put itself on record
last night as repudiating Mussolini
and his Fascist regime and urging
the Italian people to welcome Amer
ican troops in Italy mot as con-
querors but as liberators."
Superior Court Justice Felix
Forte of Massachusetts,, supreme
president of the order, made public
the text of a resolution reiterating
the organizations pledges of sup
port to the war effort and the war
aims of the United Nations.
He pointed out that it already
had pledged It's loyal support imme-
diately after the United States en-
tered the war and emphasized that
the appeal to the Italian people
was issued at this particular time be-
cause of the likelihood that Ameri-
can troops might soon land in Italy.

 Half an hour after the transports landed, they took off, circled the field and headed back to the rear supply bases for another load,
 An RAF ofiiceH watching the per. formance, said to me;
 "Those transport planes are real work horses, They are one of the greatest American contributions to this campaign"
 The British call them Dakotas and are slightly confused by the mixed American usage which calls them DC-SS (the Commercial designa~- tion) and C-A7s (The Military DeS- ignation), The transports speed in large formations, day after day, along valleys and over mountains hauling food, munitions and supplies to front line troops,
 The pilots land on muddy fields and do taxi service for high officers carrying dispatches, I made Q trip from Oran to AlgierS in a formation of transports which flew so low over the barren land that I seemed tc be riding in a swift railroad car Another time I flew over the Medi- terranean in Q transport at low level, getting the sensation of fash ing through water in Q speedboat that didn't rock,
 The transport crews often live in the planes, even on barren forward fields, and carry their bedding in boxes, On the walls of one plane I saw magazine pictures of scantily clad girls and two fishing rods hanging on hooks,

 Transport pilots become weary oi their proSaie freight trains runs and they always are willing to pice up military passengers just for { change, Airplane hitch-hiking has become a popular travel method ir the Tunisian campaign, Officers droF in at air fields seeking transporta. ton to some place 200 or 800 mile: away and arc told just sit dowr
