News Of Surrender
Breaks Quicker Than
Expected in London


LONDON, Sept 8.-News of Italy's
surrender was greeted happily by
the Free Italian organization here
and by the Greeks, who called it
the biggest step yet toward liberia
tion of their countries.
Andrea Simoni, head of the Free
Italian movement, said "It is per-
haps too soon to talk, but it is a
happy thing that Italy is out of the
war"
Awaiting word from the govern
ment seat in Cairo, Greek sources
were cautious, but stressed that the
Axis would be unable to continue
domination of the Balkans with the
east coast of Italy occupied by the
Allies.
The first public break of news
chat Italy capitulated caused major
excitement in the foreign office sec
tion of the British Ministry of In
formation.
1t was obvious that, altough the
officials here were sitting on a big
news story, they had not expected
it to break as quickly as it did.
Nearly half an hour after the
news had been flashed by the
agencies from Army headquarters
in North Africa, the Ministry OF
Information summoned newsmen to
confirm the announcements
J. H. Brebner. head of the min
istry's news division, smiled when
he stepped to the microphone to
read Gen. Eisenhower's announce

there will be sufficient tires to meet

Mr.. Dewey said that ''today's

bA bHe ASSoclaIC0 PfeSS.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, Sept. 8.-The
Italian people are being informed
by radio and leaflets of the sur
render of their government to the
Allies.
The leaflets telling the news of
the armistice also carried the fol-
lowing instructions to the italian
people:
Italians! Backed by the might of
the Allies, Italy now has the op-
portunity of taking vengeance on
the German oppressor and Of aiding
in the expulsion of the eternal
enemy from Italian soil.
Battle Orders Given
Italians! Here are your battle
orders Tor this phase of the war for
the liberation of Europe:
81 In all territories occupied by
the Allied armies give them all your
assistance and obey precisely the
orders of the commander In the
field.
%. In all areas where the Ger
man armies operate do nothing
whatsoever to assist the Germans.
Show your natural unity and your
will to resist them by disciplined,
unanimous refusal to become the
accomplices of the German pirate.
Workers! The war in Italy is your
battle of transport He who wins the
battle of transport wins the war.
Urged to Block Transportation.
''In this battle the italian people
and in particular the italian trans
port workers, railway workers, dock
workers, and road workers can and
will play decisive role.
Railway workers! See that no
single train carrying German ma
terial Is permitted to pass.
Dock workers! See that no single
ship carrying German troops or ma
terials is permitted to move in the
area where you work.
italians! Make supreme heroic
effort now. In the next crucial
week by your disciplined resistance
against the Germans you can par
alyze their communication lines and
so help to win the Italian war of
liberation"

italian Collapse Cited
To Rotarians 10 Show
Need Of Postwar Plan

1taly's quick surrender, indicative
OF how quick the collapse of the
whole Axis front In Western Europe
may come, should show American
businessmen the Importance of i'm
mediate postwar planning, John F..
Fennelly, executive secretary of the
Committee for Economic Develop
ment, told the Rotary Club today.
If Germany should be put out of
the war, this country would find it
impossible to use any but a small
fraction of Its present war output
in continuing hostilities against the
Japanese, he said.
Mr.. Fennelly estimated that as
much as 80 per cent of present war
contracts would face cancellation
Immediately in event of German
collapse
Predicts Sudden End of War.
Italy's fall shows that the end in
Western Europe will come very
quickly when it comes, the speaker
asserted, adding that postwar
economic conversion problems are
not something several years off to be
approached gradually.
Explaining that the purpose OF
the Committee on Economic De-
velopment is to achieve and main
tain high levels of employment
through private enterprise after the
war, Mr.. Fennelly said that best
present estimates are that jobs will
have to be found for a working pop
ulation of $500 600 in 1916, if that
year is taken arbitrarily as the first
peace-time year.
At present a condition of over
employment exists, the speaker said,
with 100000 at work This COM
pares with an employment of 1885,
100000 in the last peacetime year,
he added.
Subtracting an estimated $500 900
which will be retained in the armed
services and an estimated 1000 900
unemployed f1oaters, leaves 55,0OO,-
600 as satisfactory level of en-
ployment, Mr.. Fennelly said. OF this
number, 10000 900 will be on Federal,
State and local Government pay.
rolls.
One of the most striking features
of the present situation is that ex-
isting governmental blueprints will
provide employment for less than
100000 workers, which means, Mr..
Fennelly said, that $4,000, 900 to ST.
100000 will be turning to business,
industry, agriculture and the profess
sions for employment.
