binary Importance" II speculated
that the conference discussed the
Allied notes to neutral govern

The situation within Italy re-
manned cloaked in censorship, but
neutral sources in Switzerland
said Rome broadcasts and other
official reports claiming a rapid
decline in strikes and peace DEM
onstrations should be treated with
reserve.
An Italian frontier disatch said
Badogio, despite his iron-fisted
rule, was losing control of tho
people and unless he presents
Italy with something concrete be-
fore next weekend, he may be
confronted with an outbreak OF
unprecedented violence.

Reports reaching Zurich said

Other Swiss reports said Ger~

THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTON,

with dismay as the Dutchman
pulled in the winnings.
At the regular intervals each
compartment of prisoners was led
up on deck for smoke Then the
Americans gave them cigarettes and
candy. The prisoners also had
their turn at K. P. duty--a chore
for which the Italians clamored
because of the extra food dividends
afforded. The Italians liked Ameri-
can food, especially the bread.
Many of the men spoke English,
especially the Germans. Those who
did not, including two Italians
who were found to be excellent
BARRIERS, had their requests and
orders translated by interpreters.
Gifts Substitute for Pay.
Interpreters would transmit the
haircut preferences of the American
M. P.'s to the Italians, pressed sum-
marily into service when their talents
came to light. Not allowed to give
the prisoners money, the soldiers
would make them presents of candy
and cigarettes for their trouble.
Pfc. Asselta, who finds his work
very much to his liking, wants to 60

Ruth Thomas, who was present dur

at whose home he is likely to be
found almost any evening during his

brought her from Africa.

tory. They could not be turned
from the belief that Russia was
through and that the United
States had been bombed. It was
the propaganda that had been
drilled into them.
Frequently when Pc Asselta was
assigned to feeding detail he had
seen some of the Germans, in a
contemptuous attitude, halt every
few steps on the way to chow
so they would have to be prodded
on their way.
Dutchman Makes Dice Talk.
This constant guard duty was
tough on sleep. One thing, though,
he reflected with a grin, there was
no reveille. His companions, off
duty, were either catching up on
their sleep or shooting craps. Once
he and some of the others had

The haircut Pfc. Jack Asselta of
the Military Police got the other
day in a Washington barbershop

he had had-at the hands of an
Italian prisoner of war.
Pfc. ASselta, who has returned
from his second trip to North Africa
to help guard war prisoners on their
way to this country, will be remem-
bered by Washingtonians as the
city's first dealer in horse meat.
Before going into the service in
February he was manager of the

ALI day and all night on the ships
transporting captured Germans and
Italian soldiers, most of whom had
been fighting under German Mar
shall Erwin Rommel, to America,
Pfc. Asselta and his fellow M. P.'s
relieved each other every few hours
to stand guard on the compart-
ments of prisoners.
Italians Delighted.
Standing there, unspeaking be-
cause he was not allowed to con-
verse with the prisoners, he would
listen to the men in the compart-
ment, singing in their native langu-
ages or engaged in their gambling
games. He would watch the Italians.

battle was over, and the Germans,
