WITH GEN. EISENHOWER, Ad-
vanced Allied Command Post. CUn-
dated = CUP)-Benito Mussolini,
completely discredited and de-
nounced by his own Fascists, was
seized in Rome not only to rid
Italy of his government but also
to protect him from the angered
people, reliable italian sources re-
vealed today.
"The Germans are welcome to
him but we doubt he will be Of
much use to them," Italians who
have reached North Africa said.
These sources revealed how Mus
solini was captured July 25 in Rome
as he left an hour and a half con-
ference with King Victor Emman-
uel, was showed unceremoniously
into an ambulance and taken off
to a safe hiding place.
A few hours before the arrest
the duce had been stripped of pow
er by "a to Z vote of his Fascist
grand council which forced him to
resign all government posts after
an all-night session. The Fascists
made no attempt TO arrest him.
WITH MISTRESS
After the vote Mussolini spent
several hours at his office and with
his 23-year-old mistress, who was
described as plain sort of person
with no particular charm or quail
ty.
Mussolini, without knowing he
was followed, later asked and was
granted an audience with King Vic
tor Emmanuel and when he emerg-
ed from the hour and half con-
ference four or five men in plain
clothing leveled revolyers at him
and ordered him into the ambu-
lance.
Mussolini cursed but did not re-
sist. The incident occurred at $50
pm, in full view of passers-by who
were unaware of what was hap
pening.
Then began a chase by the Ger
man Gestapo trying to find Mus
solini. Ill with stomach trouble but
showing no signs of insanity, Mus
solini was taken from place to
place.
His first violent reactions, the
Italians said, gave way to an atti-
tude of acceptance and he spent
long hours writing defenses of Fas-
cism and himself.
His girl friend was arrested in
the luxurious villa he had given her
but after questioning and a search
of the house, was released.
NAZI OFFICER SENT
Even Hitler tried to locate Mus
solini He sent a high ranking Of

ton praising II Duce for following
Nietzsche's philosophy of living
dangerously" But he failed to see
II Duce and the Germans were kept
by the government of Marshal Pie
tro Badoglio from either checking
on Mussolini or finding out about
their armistice attempts.
The Fascists, meanwhile, fled for
safety, Count Dino Grandi reach
ing Lisbon and Roberto Farinacci,
former Fascist party secretary, set
ting out for Germany. Mussolini's S
son-in-laW, Count Galeazzo Ciano,
once was reported captured but is
believed to have escaped. Some
others were arrested for trial.
Nowhere did the Fascists resist
the advent of Badoglio's govern
ment, reliable sources stated. On
the contrary, MusSollni's fall was
cheered everywhere.

StandIey to Come
Back to America

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18. (UP)-
Admiral William H. Standley, u.
S. ambassador to the Soviet Union
and proponent of postwar collabor-
alton 8 between this country and
Russia, will return to Washington
soon, the state department an

The state department said the
10 year old former chief of naval
operations was coming home for
consultation in connection with
discussions among the American
British, and Russian governments
Presumably, Standley's return will
be concerned with the Forthcoming
conferences to be attended by for

Let SECT 'Em,'
Cry Of Allies in
Saving Bridgehead

ALI e D HEADQUARTERS,
North Africa, Sept. 18 (UP) -
Lets get at 'em!"
That was the cry with which Am
erican reinforcements charged the
bloody beaches at the climax of the
battle of Salerno Gulf and it ex-
emplified the spirit with which
Americans and Britons, fighting side
by side, smashed the Bogey of
Nazi invincibility behind the walls
of the preached fortress of Europe
The Fifth army is still fighting
furiously on the Salerno front and
there is harder fighting ahead, but
today some of the story can be told
of how the Allies were knocked
back to within three miles of the
beaches, blanketed by a furious en-
emy barrage, and came back to
end what was probably the Wehr-
macht's most fanatical offensive
smash since Stalingrad.

Control Of Port Of Fiume

LONDON Sept 18 (UP) - The
Germans were reported today to
have called on the luftwaffe for
an effort to drive Jugoslav irregu-
lars from the town of Split while
the Daily Telegraph said that
patriot fighters had entered Fiume,
important port on the Adriatic
Reports to Jugoslav circles in
London said a partisan army had
captured Trogir, on the Adriatic
coast 10 miles west of Split, and
that the Nazi air force heavily at
tackled Split, Solin and Trogir.
The most violent fighting CEN
tered at Kills, miles northeast of
Split, where the Germans were
trying to drive to the coast, it was
said.
MAKING BID
Confirmation of the Daily Tele-
graphs report would mean that
the Jugoslavia patriots were bid
ding to recaptured piece of ter
ritory seized by Italy.
The British radio reported a
Budapest broadcast admitting a
Croatian army heading towards
Fiume" had been stopped by par
tisan fighters and quoted zagred
dispatch as describing increasing
operations by the irregular units.
London radio said the fully equip
ped italian Bergemonte division
had joined the Jugoslav patriots

COMPLETE COOPERATION

The story can be told triumph
antly only because of the most COM
plete cooperation between land, sea,
and air forces and the supreme
confidence of the Allied troops that
they were better than anything the
Nazis could offer.
THE saving of the bridgehead
was due to several things, but a
typical example was the spirit of
the reinforcements who with the
help of the navy fought their way
through hellish barrage to the
beaches" a military source said.
There they saw their comrades
of the original landing force with
bloody noses, but were not dismay-
ed. They said: Lets get at 'em!"
and they did"
