Goal OF Peace
STATEMENT EXPECTED
Negotiations In Progress

BERN, Switzerland, July
31.-(P)-Strong indications
came from Rome tonight that
peace was and is the real goal
of Marshal Pietro Badoglio,
but that presence of German
troops fighting on Italian soil
is the main obstacle.
A statement from the gov
ernment clarifying the issue
was expected within the next
three days, possibly within
the next "a hours. Axis
diplomats had waited for it
last night.
A Rome dispatch to the Basler
chrichten, passing through Of
ficial Italian censorship, said ne
gotiations of growing dimensions
were in progress within Vatican
walls and within the capital itself.
They were declared to have in
volved Italy and the Allies, and
Italy and the Germans.
Two Requirements
The initial two requirements OF
the Allies, this dispatch said, were
the overthrow of Fascisni, and
putting out of German troops.
The first demand has been. met
and perhaps the second also will
one day be fulfilled" it added.
But many Italians were worried
that even if the Germans could
be prevailed upon to withdraw
from southern and central Italy,
the Axis war machine would in
sist upon trying to maintain a
stand north behind the Po.
The Neue Zurecher Zeitung re-
ported from Chiasso that German
reinforcements continued to ar

civilians living in Italy had been

Ciano Resigns
The Rome radio said Count Gale
azzo Ciano, son-in-laW of Mussoli-

sador to the Vatican, possibly as
a step toward peace, and Rome
newspapers reported that Ciano
and Mussolini were under arrest
at the Palazzo Chigi, the former
Italian foreign office in Rome.

The carriers present skipper made

CoImer Asks Swift Action
On Bill 10 Draft Strikers
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Swift congressional action to dis
courage strikes and industrial slow
downs by making participants i'm
mediately eligible for military serv-
ice was advocated today by Repre-
sentative Colmer, Democrat, of Mis-
sissippi.
There is need for some action
Immediately because of the number
of strikes and slowdowns that have
occurred in recent months" he said,
land I am for a showdown on this
issue right away"
Mr.. Colmer has introduced a
measure which would not only sub
ject those engaged in a strike to
immediate draft. but also make
those responsible for strikes or slow
downs in the production of war ma
terial liable to maximum fine of
$4,000 and two years imprison-
ment.
His proposal also would increase
the statutory work week from 40
to 48 hours for the duration of the
war with no overtime pay for the
extra eight hours, and limit profits
on war contracts over $4,000 to
maximum of 6 per cent.
Mr.. Colmer's bill was referred to
the House Military Affairs Commit
tee, where its fate remained uncer-
tain. However, some influential
committee members said they would
oppose action on labor legislation
unless and until something new
develops on the labor front"

Federal Judge James A. Fee, who
previously set Monday for argu-

ConStitutionality of Connecticut

Engineer Defends
Holmes Run Sewer;
Denies Health Peril
Alexandria Woter Co.
Charges Are Called
Unfounded. Absurd

Taking sharp issue with Alex

tend the trunk line sewer now under
construction in Fairfax County, Va,
under supervision OF the Federal
Works Agency. is potential health
menace to water consumers, G.
Hubbard Massey, consulting engineer
on the project, yesterday declared
the company's charges were "un-
founded and absurd" T.,
The line, which is being con-
structed with a Federal grant of
approximately $500, 900, extends
from near Falls Church to the
Potomac River. 1t is designed to
serve thousands of home owners in
the Holmes Run watershed area,
including several Government
approved low cost housing projects
and the Quartermaster Depot at
Holmes Run.
The water company has protested
construction methods employed in
laying the line and its location near
its Bancroft Reservoir and the
Holmes Run feed line, which carries
the water from the reservoir to the
filtration plant at Alexandria.
Sees No Pollution Danger.
Mr.. Massey contended the line is
being constructed according to speci-
flcations set up by the Federal Gov
eminent, which practically elimi-
mates any danger of pollution to the
reservoir or Holmes Run.
He also said that the pipe line is
being Graded in concrete where it
skirts the reservoir, which will pre-
vent settling of the line, eliminating
possibility of sewage seepage. Along
Holmes Run the line is LAID feet
below the stream bed and is en-
bedded in solid concrete at all points
where it crosses the stream.
At all other points along its en-
tire length it is being placed in
either a natural or artificial gravel
cradle.

pleted line, rather than being a
menace to the water supply, will be
a means of ending asserted pollu-

Cites Many Arguments,

The Senate Defense Inyestipatino
Committee charged today there had
been "nexcusable" delay and con-
fusion in carrying out a barge con
struction and conversion nrorran,
designed to relieve the East Coast
oil shortage.
mere was simply too much talk
ana not enough action" the COM
mittee said.
Recalling that President Roosevelt
last spring appointed a committee To
STUDY the barge problem, the senate
group, headed by Senator Truman
democrat, OF Missouri. declared in
an interim report:
The committee believes that there
mas been unnecessary delay and con-
fusion IN carrying out a program
essential to the national welfare,
The delay which occurred prior to
tne recommendations of the commit
tee appointed by the President is
most regrettable. but the delay
which occurred after the matter had
been studied by that committee and
after Its recommendation had been
received by the President is in
excusable.
Few Decisions Made.
The lengthy and frequent con-
1erences which took place between
the numerous agencies involves pro-
duced many arguments, but few de-
clsions, the report said.
'The program recommended by
the Presidents committee and ap-
proved by the President" it con-
tinued, ought not to have been
discarded on the Nays suggestion
that high-powered Diesels necessary
for motive power could not be OBJ
tanned without exploring whether
existing tugboat and tugboat power
could be made available by a trans
fer from other uses and without ex-
ploring whether steam engines, gas
engines or smaller Diesel engines
could be made available"
The report said 10 different agen-
cies had a hand in making decis-
ions with respect to barges, and de-
clared that valuable time has been
lost" as result of this overlapping
Of authority and duplication of eff
fort"
IF the barge program had been
carried out expeditiously," the re-
port said, "the shortages of both

the southern and western portions
thereof, would have been less
severe"
