Big Political Shake-up
Hinted in Italy as
Result Of UItimatum

BERN, Switzerland, July IL
Further Italian reaction to the
Roosevelt Churchill appeal to
abandon the struggle was await
ed today, following hints from
within Italy that "nonmilitary
surprises" were forthcoming.
The exact nature of the expected
developments was not stated but
Swiss telegraphic agency dispatch
said there was much discussion about
'nonmilitary surprises Dispatches
from Rome suggested they would
take the form of sweeping political
change to bolster morale and form
a regime to carry on the war pend
ing an opportunity to reach COM
promise settlement with the Allies.
The Allied leaders direct appeal
to the Italian people was made pub
lie in Italy late last night by the
Fascist news agency, after it had
been broadcast repeatedly in Italian
Yesterday by Allied radio stations
and scattered in pamphlets over a
wide area from planes. The Rome
radio said leaflets were dropped on
that city during the night.
A political writer for the Italian
news agency Stefani answered that
feeble morale doesn't exist" but
that the people regretted the lack of
arms with which to make the Allies
pay higher price in blood.
If the Allies want to batter italy,
they must do so with arms" he said.
The italian press generally con-
tlnued to emphasize Italys lack of
sufficient military strength for
proper battle but said the moral
determination to carry on the strug-
gle runs high.
The persistence of this theme led
foreign observers here to conclude
that the people were being prepared
for perhaps sudden losses, and that
the way was being further cleared
for the retreat with honor of which
President Roosevelt spoke. The ma
jcrlty Of the press made no victory
claims, declaring instead that the
country and army desired resistance
with all their means"

Senator Tydings, Democrat, of
Maryland said today that the pa

economy for the next 20 years de-
pends on wise planning Immediate
ly for postwar absorption of mil
liens of suddenly unemployed liqui-
dation of vast stocks of Government
property and reduction of the ma
tional debt.
In a speech before the Indiana
State Bar Association. he estimated

He said the national debt would
approximate $250,0OO 100000 or
$500 per family, nearly twice the
total of $4,000 900 900 in assessed
property valuations in the country
He figured probable bank resources
in June, 1914, at $l60000, 900 900. and
said 10 per cent of that total, or
about $4,000, 100000, would be in
bonos CT the National Government.
SO that an eight-point drop in Gov
ernment bonds would wipe out all of
the estimated $4,000, 100000 in bank
capital assets.
About SIS 900, 900 900 in outstand-
ing Government war contracts will
be Cancelled. he said.
The Senator gave an estimate of

ment.'
He recommended decreasing Fed

excess Government properties and

developing battle as the hardest the
Allies likely will face in Sicily, be-
cause the opposition will be mostly

posed in Senate Banking and Cur

Plenty Of Pork And More Beef
Than Usual Reported In City

For the first time in a year.
Wilmington has plentiful supply
Of pork, and some more beef than
in the past, E. T. Jones, manager
of Armour's said Friday
The abundance of pork in this
city, he said, is due to the "ex-
tremely heavy runs of hogs,
which have been coming to market
tor the past two weeks. The whole
sale meat dealer predicted that the
Wilmington matket will be well
stocked with pork for the next 90
days.
while beef is not in as abun-
dant supply here as pork, there is
considerably more on the market
than there has peen for sometime. :"
he said.
We're getting all the pork we
want, and can use," the whole
saler said. 1T is coming in from
every source, including the local
supply and route cars.
There is available almost any
cut of pork the consumer wants.
We are trying 10 get the people
to use pork. The only catch is
they do not have enough meat ra.
ton points,
He said there is now a plentiful
supply of bacon and ham where
there was once a short supply due
to heavy government purchases
There is now plenty for the gov
eminent and civilians, he added
The OPA recently announced 9
reduction of two ration points pei
pound on all pork cuts. and al
variety meats were removed from
the ration list. The variety meats
include liver, brains, neck bones
and fat back.
Jones said 1T is the first time
in year we can truthfully say
that Wilmingtouians can buy al
the pork they want, if they have
ration points. It was about this
time last year that shortage o.
pork developed here.'
