b the Associated Press.

LONDON, Sept. 21-German
broadcasts reported today that
Benito Mussolini had left Ger
many for Northern Italy "after
a conversation with the Fuehrer
lasting several days." in order to
study developments on the spot.
The broadcast said Mussolini was
expected to announce the compost
tion of his newly proclaimed gov
ernment in the coming week and
was devoting his attention to recon-
struction of the Fascist militia
around which will be built a new
Republican Fascist Army.
Although Mussolini, in a speech
attributed to him by the German
radio Saturday denounced King
Victor Emmanuel and the House of
Savoy, the radio said it was not GER
tain that Mussolini would take the
title of chief of state as well as
chief of government.
After reporting several days ago
the escape OF Mussolini's son-in-law
Count Galeazzo Ciano, to Germany,
the radio today declared it was un-
true he had been rescued and he
was presumed to be missing" This
apparently was an admission that
Ciano was caught by Italian author
tiles before reaching the safety of
Germany. The radio said Carlo
Scorza, former Fascist party secre-
tary, also had disappeared"
