KING VlTTORI0
IN SOUTH ITALY
Crown Prince Umberto
And Badoglio With Re-
gent AT New Home
BY EDWARD KENNEDY

SOMEWHERE IN SOUTHERN
ITALY, Sept. 20-fDelayed -P)-
King Vittorlo Emanuele, Crown
Prince Umberto, Premier Mar
shall Pietro Badoglio and his gov
eminent are in a southern Italian
town which in effect is the provi
sional capital of Italy.
The king arrived here from
Rome almost two weeks ago as
the Germans were marching on
the eternal city.
British army deta chments are
in the town. A handful of Ameri-
can officers, including officers of
the Allied Military Government of
occupied territories, also are here
1t is here that details of the
armistice settlements are being
worked out and relations between
the Americans, British and Italians
appear almost cordial, although
the suddenness Of recent events
have left some here rather be-
Wildered.
The townsfolk know the king is
here, but there is little excitement.
The sovereign has not appeared
much in public.
I was the first American news
paper correspondent to arrive in
the new capital.
The Italian tricolor flies over
The Wilmington morning star. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1909-1990, 1943-09-27

the city and British and Italian
standards fly over some buildings.
Gin another dispatch from Ia
ranto Kennedy said the Italian flag
flies over that city, Italian soldiers
guard vital points and the Italian
commander of the naval base and
the project of the province-ap-
pointed by Badoglio-remain in Of
flee, charged with administering
affairs under Allied occupation.)
Italian soldiers in town are arm
ed and in regular formations, with
Italian sentries at all vital points
and Italian troops manning the
city's defenses. AS I passed through
these defenses in a borrowed AM
erican army truck, they scrutiniz-
ed me, then waved me on without
asking for credentials.
Many Italian soldiers have ar
rived at Brindisi. after having
broken away from the Germans.
Some Greeks who escaped also are
now coming into southern Italy.

BRITISH ATTACK
ARGENTINE PLAN
England Follows Lead OF
U. 5. In Playing For
eign Policy

LONDON, Monday, Sept. 81
t9-Britain followed the lead Of
the United States today in publicly
attacking Argentina's foreign pol.
icy after completing a deal to pur.
chase her exportable surplus eggs
for two years.
A statement by the Foreign OF.
flee said it wished no "political
significance" to be attached to
the trade with Argentina. That
country alone, the statement said,
Of all American nations has not
broken with the Axis, it has per-
mitted Axis nationals to conspire
against the United Nations and it
has failed to give British inter-
ests and nationals proper con-
sideration and protection.
The statement recalled Secre-
tary of State Hulls letter to For
eign Minister Segundo Storm on
August 80 which led to an Argen-
tina political crisis and the resig-
nation of Storm
Hull sharply rejected Storni's
request for American Lease-Lend
aid.
The British Foreign Office made
its statement in conjunction with
an announcement by the Food
Ministry of the egg purchase
agreement for the 1884 and 1914
45 seasons. A meat purchase
agreement had been concluded
earlier.
The Foreign Office statement
said Britain wished to continue
her friendship and commercial
intercourse with Argentina but
said it never understood why Ar
gentina, alone of the Western re-
publics, failed to follow the recon-
mendations of the Rio de Janeiro
conference of foreign ministers
regarding the severance of rela'
tons with Axis powers.
His Majesty's government hope
that in tine international sphere
the Argentine government will al
an early date range herself whole
neartedly on the side of the free
dom loving nations" the state
fnent said.

clude: Lyman Burge Mitchell,
former member of the legisla-
ture from Alcorn county; Clar-
ence Jefferson Knight, county
school teacher, and Arthur Ray
mond Mesner, a shoe merchant,
all members of the board; Charles
L. Dick, supervisor of the fourth

GERMANY MOVING
TO HOLD BULGARIA
Feverishly Preparing Bal
kan Nation For Major
battle-ground

ISTANBUL, Sept. 25-(Delaye6
-R)-Germany is moving swift
ly to occupy all of Bulgaria in
force and is feverishly preparing
that kingdom as a major Balkan
battle-ground, the first trustworthy
news to seep through the Gestapo
since King Boris death said to-
day.
Gustav Beckerle, Nazi minister,
has become virtual gauleiter and
four additional German divisions,
about 10000 troops, have moved
into position in southern Bulgaria
facing the Aegean, Turkey and
the Black sea, these reports said.
Bulgarian authorities have beeE
requisitioning large buildings at
Sofia and elsewhere, apparently
to be used as barracks. New road
signs in German have appeared
at strategic places.
Attempts to boost the morale
of Bulgarian forces also are urs
der way with the new minister
of war, Gen. Russi Russev, cir
cularizing Bulgarian officers wi
demands for prompt execution Of
Sofas orders.
Beckerle was said to be con-
ferring daily with Bogdan Philov,
former premier and present mem
Der of the regency who is the
guiding hand of Bulgarian policy.
Philov, the reports said, passes
Beckerle's suggestions on to Pre-
mier Dobri Bojilov who follows
them slavishly.
Dissension between Queen Moth
er Joanna, Boris widow, and the
regency was said to have reached
the point where Joanna threaten
ed to go into exile in Switzerland.
Philov has warned border guards
to stop her if she attempts to flee,
it was said.
Continued sabotage by the
strongly pro-Russian Bulgarians
was reported, their latest exploit
being the destruction of railroads
on the Danube, severing ferry SER
vice between Bulgaria and Ruma-
MIA.

FARM BLOC SET
FOR new FIGHT
CONTINUED From Page One)

nance Corporation funds on meat
and butter, Senator Taft (R-Ohio)
said he would demand an ac-
counting of the cost of the latter.
81 imagine that the whole SUBJ
sidy question will be opened up
again and I would not be surprised
if a move is made to ban roll
backs" he said.
Taft was largely instrumental
in effecting a compromise last
summer when Congress continued
the life of the CCC until January
l and increased its borrowing
power from $3.50, 100000 to 3d.
600, 900, 900. This action came after
President Roosevelt vetoed a sim
liar bill carrying rider banning
roll backs. The veto was sustain
ed by the House.
Rep. Wolcott (R-Mich), who led
the House fight against the sub
sidy-rollback program, indicated
he would renew his opposition.
II don't think I can go along"
he said, with program which
by subterfuge would effectuate a
common subsidy which was so
roundly repudiated by the last
session of Congress.

the mast. the plane loosed its
bombs but so distracting was the
concentrated fire, said the stew
ard, that the missiles missed their
target and the German craft
plunged smoking into the water.
Meanwhile, Byers continued, a
Dornier roared in through a wall
OF fire. AS it approached white
streaks of smoke streamed from
the fuselage but the pilot didn't
drop his bombs until he was close
enough for the sweating gunners
to see his goggles.
Incrediably to the steward, these
bombs missed too and the smoking
plane zoomed off so close to the
water that the crew was certain
it also was lost.
There were other planes en-
gagged by our gunners both in this
attack and in one that Immediately
followed" wrote Byers, $50 it is
possible that they aided in downing
some others. There can be no
doubt but that it was the concen-
trated firepower of the Bradstreet
that distracted the enemy bonn
bardiers, causing them in every
instance to overshoot their mark.
There is no other explanation for
the Incredibly poor marksman-
snip of the Germans, particularly
as in two instances the planes
were almost resting on the mast
heads of the ships they were bomb
ing.
1.-The u men and commanding
officer who comprise the armed
guard of the Bradstreet are all
volunteers. They are, by and large,
in their late teens or early twen-
ties, and only one of them had
ever been on the high seas before.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-(R)-
Destruction Of 10 enemy planes
which attack a convoy in the
Mediterranean was disclosed to-
day by the Navy in making pub
lie a letter of praise sent naval
gunners from the entire crew OF
merchant ship.
The letter, written by Ralph E..
Byers, chief steward Of the SIS
Anne Bradstreet, and signed by all
hands, told of the attack by about
oO German dive bombers and tor
pedo bombers as the convoy steam
ed toward Gibraltar August 10.
1T was a surprise attack, and
the planes came into the convoy
low and fast, hedge-hopping over
the horizon" wrote Byers of GIG
South Sixth Street,, St. Cloud,
MINI.
'The Germans meant business, -
he continued, ''in spite of the point
blank fire from the conveys anti
aircraft guns they came in head
on few feet above the water in
what looked like a suicidal assault.
And that's what it proved to be"
A huge four-motored Junkers SO
was the first victim. Roaring in at
deck level the plane banked to
launch torpedoes, the momentary
target was all the gunners needed.
The craft seemed to fall apart in
mid-air, burst into flames and
crashed into the sea, wrote Byers.
Meantime, the forward gunners
were peppering a Heinkel Ill
which dove at Liberty ship next
to the Bradstreet. Barely clearing

(COnt1nued From Page One)
600 armed men fighting under Al
lied command.
Here is the Yugoslav situation
at a glance as cleaned from the
Yugoslav government and neutral
sources:
Slovenia-the province of Ljubl-
jana, formerly under Italian oc-
cupation, has been cleared of Axis
forces except for the capital itself.
Great quantities of arms and am
munition acquired from the Ital-
ians has enabled forces there to
thrust toward Idria, site of Eu-
ropes largest quicksilver mines.
Advanced groups of these forces
have pushed into Italian Trieste,
where street fighting was reported.
Croatia-Fighting continues for
the port of Susak, with Fiume, just
across the Italian frontier river,
the next goal. Susak is the final
station on the Zagreb-Adriatic rail
line, indicating how well Nazi COM
munications have been cut. Guer-
rilla forces also hold the cara area
farther south and are fighting
along the communicate lines to
Banjaluka.
Dalmatia-Most of Split still is
in Yugoslav hands although bitter
battles are raging about SIM and
Kills, which command the Land ap-
proaches to the port. The main raii
line into the interior is in guer-
rilla hands. Yugoslav forces also
hold Metkovic, big Neretva river
port.
Montenegro - Rotor, Adriatic
harbor large enough to anchor the
entire British Mediterranean, re-
mains in German hands although
nearby fighting has been reported
and rail links with the interior have
been cut.
Allied positions in the Middle
East and landings on Aegean is
lands and in the Dodecanese group
have led to a German Tightening
of eastern Balkan defenses also.
Reports reaching Istanbul said
today that German troops WERE oc-
cupying Bulgaria in force and
about $4,000 additional troops had
been rushed there.
Cairo dispatches said that Bull
garian forces occupying Greece
had begun Selling livestock and
agricultural produce leaving Greek
farmers practically nothing.
