JAPAN INTENDS TO
 ATTACK RUSSIA
There Is Not Much Doubt Of That, By Changes
 In Her Cabinet
By United Pressl

OUndated) d)-Japanese Vice FOr- eign Minister Haruhiko Nishi fol- lowed his chief. Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo, into retirement to- day in what appeared to be Japa- nese political shake-up intimately concerned with the Tokyo war lords plans 10 stab Russia in the back by an attack or Siberia and the mari time provinces.
 A brief Tokyo announcement said Nish resigned today and had been succeeded by Kumaicai Yamamoto director of the eastern department of the foreign office.
 Between Togo's resignation yester- day and Nishi's resignation today War Lord Premier Gen. Tideki Toio. who had assumed the foreign ministry, announced his intention of creating a new ministry for greater East Asia" in the cabinet.
 War Lord Tojo, in a statement ex- plairing the creation Of an East Asia cabinet post, said:
 "The reconstruction of East Asia must be a naturalization of Japan's lofty aims with particular emphasis on the reinforcement of the war ca- pacity of the empire. To this end t is essential to maintain the utmost degree Of coordination between all efforts of the national fighting ser- vices. On the other hand attention will be paid by the government to the administration of Korea, Fo-- mosa and Karafut0"
 These three territories were those Japan possessed outside the Japa- nese islands proper, and its man. dated islands in the south Pacific, before Pearl Harbor.
 Karafuto, which Tojo took pains to mention, is the Japanese name for the southern half of Sakhaiia Island, of the coast Of Siberia.
 It has been taken for granted that in any attack on Russia, Japan would move immediately to take the Russian half of the island with it's rich oil field.
 No Change in Policy
 War Lord Tojo, taking over the foreign ministry, told the staff in a speech this afternoon that .the exchange of foreign minister will not result in any way in the altera- tion of Japan's foreign policy"
 He urged the ministry stan to concentrate on carrying out Japa- nese policy flor successful con- summation of the greater East Asia war"
 Retiring Minister Togo thanked the stan for it's eo-Operatlon ard expressed hope that it would give the same cooperation to Tojo.
 Tomokazu Hori, government spokesman, said:
 T can definitely say that Togo's resignation was for purely personal reasons and has nothing to do with the establishment Of a new ministry or with any Japanese foreign pol- icy"
 Hori said the rev East Asia min- istry would handle Japan's "poll- teal. economic and cultural affairs relative to the greater East Asia co-pTospeElty sphere
 ''This new organization will make the handling of various matters easier and simpler he said.
 He added that the foreign minis- try would continue to take care Of diplomatic matters in the territory affected, but that functions Of ems hassles, legations and eonsulates would be divided according 10 the type Of business to be handled, and that the entire personnfi would be controlled by the rev nllniGtry which would work closely with military authorities.

Enemy Stigma Lifted
From 100000 Alien
Italians in u. 5.
Biddle Makes Known
Changed Stotus With
Presidents Approval

6y tne AS80clAted freSs.
NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-The stigma
OF being enemy aliens in the United
States will be lifted starting Mon
day from 600, 900 unnaturalzed Ital-
ians in this country, Attorney Gen.
eral Biddle announced last night.
The action was taken with the
approval Of President Roosevelt, Mr..
Biddle said in a Columbus Day
speech broadcast by the Mutual
Broadcasting System. The speech
also was carried by virtually all
short wave stations under Govern
ment control.
Italians involved will be allowed to
travel freely, possess cameras and
firearms where local regulations per-
nit, stay out after the curfew pre-
scribed on the West Coast for enemy
aliens and go about without identi-
fication cards.
Mr.. Biddle declared this exonera-
ton OF Italians had been we'll earned
by their loyalty to the United States.
This does not mean," he con-
tinued, that dangerous or disloyal
persons are no longer subject to ap-
prehension or internment. We will
still take no chances.
1T does mean that the regulations
applying up to now to alien enc
mics no longer apply to Italian
aliens. They will be free to partici-
pate in the war effort without the
handicaps that have hampered
them up to now"
In an unprecedented exercise of
wartime vigilance his Office had
investigated thoroughly all Italians
here, Mr.. Biddle said adding that
of the total Of 600 900 there was need
to intern only 228.
He said he had suggested bill to
grant citizenship to an alien. other
wise eligible, without taking the lit
eracy test, providing he is so or
over, came to the United States be-
fore July /, 1924, and has lived here
continuously since. Some 100000
Italians would be affected, he said
In removing the enemy alien
stigma from Italians, Mr. Biddle
declared, I'VE do not forget that
there are other loyal persons now
classed as alien enemies" and addec
that their situation is now being
carefully and sympathetically stud.

Germany Pictured
As Resigned 10 Face
WAR on New Fronts
Hitler Now Comedies
Setback in Russia,
British Expert Says
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Oct. 13.-The posi-
bility has dawned on the Ger
mans of war on two or three or
four frontS-Wherever on the
perimeter of Europe an attack
might come" well-informed
British source declared today.
This source based his belief on
recent Nazi utterances picturing
Germany as preparing for defensive
warfare.
Until now, he said, the Nazis'
avowed objective has been the de-
struction of RuSsias armies and the
indications of new trend in Ger
man strategy is the first admission
that Hitler has given up the attempt.
So far as crushing Russia. he de-
clared, Hitler now comedies de-
feat"
Doubtful Assumptions.
Noting a German statement that
the Axis can cope now with all
military demands for any defensive
or offensive necessities" he said
such boast must be based on these
doubtful Nazi assumptions:
l. That Germany's present posi-
ton is impregnable.
2. That the German Army will
not have to suffer so badly in Russia
this winter as last.
3. That Hitler could spare troops
from Russia for wherever else they
might be needed.
4. That Allied air attacks would
not hamper the transport Of troops
and equipment to any danger spot.
5. That additional troops would be
spared for curbing sabotage which
shows no sign of abatement in the
occupied countries
6. That the Axis satellite powers
would be able to continue fighting.
Points to Nazi Admissions.
This informant contrasted the ad-
mission that the Nazis now have
been compelled to prepare for de-
fensive war, possibly on several
fronts, with the assurances of
Reichsmarshal Goering in 1899 that
the treaty with Russia eliminated
the danger of two front war "for
all time"
Nevertheless, he cautioned, the
Nazi assertion that Germany is
going on the defensive would not
necessarily preclude local offensive
operations, particularly final at
tempts against Stalingrad. Lenin-
! grad and the Caucasus and fresh
attacks in Egypt.

LONDON, Oct. 13-Brig. Gen.
Benjamin o. Davis, the first Negro
to hold generals rank in the
United States Army, said today he
had found mo serious friction" be-
tween colored and white troops in
Britain.
Gen. Davis, who was sent here by
the War Department to make recon-
mendations for the handling Of COL
ored troops, said after two weeks
investigation that there has been
some friction reported, but do not
think it is unusual Or unexpected"
Some people try to make every
difference of opinion due to racial
causes" he added.
He attributed most of the Incl
dents to resentment on the part of
white troops at the way the British
are entertaining Negro soldiers" and
declared that the United States
Army was making no discrimination
in the handling of whites and Ne
groes.
Il sincerely hope that the British
do not discontinue their ideas of
freedom" Gen. Davis said
The general, who has a son COM
manding one of the Army's two
Negro air units. asserted he feels
too much emphasis has been placed
on color in our Army
In response to question, he de-
clared recent fight between white
and colored soldiers in Ireland, in
which Negro was killed. would not
have received the same attention
IF it had involved only white or
only Negro troops as might we'll have
been the case"
He would not disclose his recon-
mendations to 1t. Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower commander in chief of
United States Army Forces in the
European theater, but he said that
from my observations. however,
Negro troops have been favorably
located and are being treated we'll
and I am told by their officers that
they are rendering excellent service.
They have made no complaint
to me about being unhappy"
