tective barricades around individual
piles of ammunition. Ordnance
trucks and crews then went to work
behind the tank barriers, moving
1000 tons of ammunition In four

say ''honey chile"

by the ultra conservative govern
ment-sponsored radio system, ac-
cording to a report in the Sunday

police. American soldiers, any OF the
feminine branches of the armed
forces. Army officers lalthough not
enlisted mem. Intoxicating drinks
or the bombing of Germany.
The Chronicle-itemized list also
included in the ban the American
Southern accent, except in minstrel
show programs; the impersonation
of persons on the Brain Trust" pro-
gram English version of "Informa-
ton Pleaseo, the jazzing of classical
music and the singing Of nostalgia
tunes, lest the latter make soldiers
homesick.

Abdication Of Victor
Demanded Publicly
Al Rally in Naples
By the Associated Press.


NAPLES, Nov. % Delayed -
Abdication of King Victor EN-
manuel was demanded publicly for
the first time at q political meeting
today and Count Carlo Sforza, pre-
Fascist foreign minister, declared
the recent British reverse on the
island Of Leros resulted from failure
OF Italian troops to fight under one
OF the Kings generals regarded as a
Fascist.
The meeting demonstrated vigor-
ously for republic.
Count Sforza reiterated that the
King must 60 II Italians are to be
expected to participate effectively In
the war against Germany.
It was the first time retirement OF
the sovereign was demanded openly
by any Of the Italian parties or po-
litica1 leaders.
Philosopher Shouted Down.
The Christian Democrats and Lib
erals, both Rightist groups, were ab-
sent at today's demonstrations. The
adherents of the other four united
front parties, however, left no doubt
of their hostility to the king and
even shouted down the venerable
philosopher, Benedetto Croce, when
he pleaded for a regency as means
of preserving the monarchy in Italy.
Croce posed hypothetical ques-
ton. DO you want to preserve the
monarchy?"
The crowd of approximately 1000
jammed into narrow university
courtyard stormed, No, no! Viva
republica! Republica!"
Croce then attempted to argue in
favor Of a regency, but the shouting
interrupted him several times and
finally drowned out his words COM
pletely.
People Call for Republic.
mo more House of Savoy, we
want republic" the people
shouted.
Sforza. who followed Croce on
the rostrum, was cheered wildly
when he said, Italy can't hope to
be respected or to respect herself
unless she participates in this war.
But the people won't fight as long
as the King stays at the head of
the government"
Reading what he said was an Of
fetal statement about the loss of
Leros being due 20 the failure of
the Italians to fight, Sforza asked,
the King must 60 now and not
later. We can't wait until the end
OF the war
Numerous placards were carried
into the meeting bearing such slo-
ganS as The House of Savoy is for
FaSciSm' and Viva Renilhlica

Save All Fats

Save All Fats
With millions of pounds Of waste
kitchen fats still needed to meet war
demands, Paul C. Cabot, Director of
WPB Salvage Division, recently urged
housewives to remember that even If
accumulated fats become rancid, they
still retain a majority Of the valuable
glycerine that goes into war production.
Some housewives, believing that rancid
fats are valueless, have not been turning
them in for salvage. This has resulted
in the loss of thousands of pounds Of
glycerine that could have been process
ed from these fats.
Army Salvages Fats
II is estimated that enough waste fats
are salvaged in army camps within the
continental U. S. to make l,5O0.0OO
pounds of dynamite each month and still
leave a residue of rendered grease frcm
which 5,oo0,000 pounds of soap stock may
be made.
Farmers Will Need Help
Harvesting Americas wartime food
and fiber crops will require the employ
ment Of at least 100000 more persons
on farms by October 1. The farm labor
force on August 1, was approximately
IL million. Throughout the country,
business men, girl scouts, boy scouts,
townspeople, women, and high school
students have been helping farmers. To
insure that there will be no important
crop losses because of labor shortage,
farmers will need the help of many
thousands of U. s. Crop Corps volun-
teers. The Crop Corps is established
now in most agricultural counties and
, civilian groups in most large cities have
the machinery for enlisting volunteers.
Recruitment of workers is handled
locally by the agricultural extension
workers of the U. s. Employment Ser
vice. Volunteers are paid established
