A Daily Mail dispatch from
Madrid said unrest in the heavily

had reached a pitch where REIN

to be summoned to restore order.
According to reports from
Vichy," the dispatch said, Berlin

A daily Herald dispatch quoted
Stockholm reports that hundreds OF

A section of Berlin escaped, an
other Stockholm dispatch said.
Other aircraft of the bomber

American manufacturers are re-
luctant to pay more than the CELL

out assurance they will be able to
purchase sufficient Of poorer quail
ties at lower prices to strike the
required average.
CCC, according to Lawrence My
ers, director of the General Crop
Division, Is taking a chance we
can buy up enough tobacco (for
British companies) at lower price
later to stay in the clear"
Both Myers and CCC Director J.
B. Hutson pointed out that in past
years British firms have paid SUBJ
stantially more than average market
prices and defended the practice
during 1913 despite predicted
shortage of more than 15O,0O0,0OO
pounds, and an increase Of II per
cent in the amount allocated to
foreign users. Hutson said:
Lets be fair and sensible. The
British have always bought our best
tobacco and have cultivated a taste
for it. If we withhold it from them
now in the years following the war
we may find we have damaged one
of our best markets for high quail
ity goods"

Lieutenant General Carl A. Spaatz
commander of the Northwest African
Air Forces, regarded the mission

The Lightnings struck first
sweeping down to tree-top level to
rake their detectives with machine
gun fire estimated to have killed or
wounded some 800 men aground
The fires they set still were blaz-
ing when the Liberators from the
middle east command roared over at
90 1000 feet to deliver the first Of the
heavy stuff. In their wake came
the forts at $4,000 feet, spattering
the landing grounds with high ex-
plosive and augmentation bombs.
Rounding out the "a hours OF pun
ishment dealt to southern Italy, the
British and Canadian Wellingtons
flew In with the dawn against Ia
ranto, hurting their 4,0O0-pounders

However, a non-Italian traveller
who has Just arrived in Madrid
from Rome said German military
authorities were delaying the evacu-
alton of military targets from Rome,
though the italians were demilitar-
izing the city as rapidly as they
could.

In, the record, and precipitated his
overthrow, 1t was reported today.
Adyices from a reliable neutral
sketched a new version OF the 10
hour session Of the grand council
before the ousting of the Fascist
dictator on July Is.
The meeting followed Mussolinfs
conference with Hitler, according to
the latest account, at which the
Nazi Fuerher had told Mussolini
bluntly that Germany could give
Italy no further military assistance.
Mussolinis predicament was OF his
own making, Hitler was said to have
told his junior partner.
Back in Rome, Mussolini was said
to have brushed aside querulous
grand council complaints with the
clustering word that German help,
plenty of it, was coming and every
thing would be all right.
But like Banquo's ghost, the
minutes of the conference with Hit
Ter rose up to plague Mussolini.
Grand, former Italian ambassador
to London now Is reported to be IN
Lisbon on peace mission, broke In
on Mussolinis speech and read the
minutes which he had taken.
Cries of "high treason" were heard
and recriminations flew thick and
fast. The verbal imbroglio went on
for hours, but 1t was no use. Mus
solim was through.
