In Europe and in Asia 1t seems
only fair that they should have this
warning that the time will come
when they shall have to stand IN
courts of law in the very countries
IN which they are now depressing

On October 7. 1912, l stated that
it was the intention of this Gov
eminent that the successful close
of the war shall include provisions
for the surrender to the United
Nations of war criminals
Rumors About Mussolini
The wheels of Justice have turned
constantly since those statements
were issued and are still turning.
There are now rumOrS that Mus
Sollnl and members of his Fascist
gang may attempt to take refuge
in neutral territory.
One day Hitler and his gang and
TOTO and his gang will be trying to
escape from their countries
Il find it difficult to believe that
any neutral country would give
asylum TO or extend protection to
any of them.
Il can only say that the Govern
ment of the United States would
regard the action by neutral gov
eminent in affording asylum to Axis
leaders or their tools as inconsistent
with the principles for which the
United Nations are fighting and
that the United States Government
hopes that no neutral government
will permit its territory to. be used
as place of refuge or otherwise
assist such persons in any effort TO
escape their just deserts
When the President was asked
about a report the United States
would deal with Marshal Badoglio,
he said that question was getting
into the which came first the
chicken or-the-egg category.
Makes No Difference"
When an army goes into a coun-
try, the President explained. the
first thing to do is to get rid of the
armed opposition, and the second to
see that when the armed opposition
has come to an end anarchy doesn't
flare up. because disorders that &C
company anarchy would produce
casualties
He then said that it made no diff
ference with whom this Government
dealt so long as he had not been
identified with the Fascist govern
ment.
A questioner suggested that maybe
Mr.. Roosevelt wouldn't consider
Marshal Badoglio Fascist and the
President responded that he was not
discussing personalities. He recalled

End Of Gas. Middle

NEW YORK. July 3O.-A new
program, which would put an
end to the gasoline rationing
muddle," has been drafted and
will be put into effect within two
weeks, William J. Gottlieb, presi-
dent of the Automobile Club of
New York, predicts.
Mr.. Gottlieb said he had been in
formed on highest authority that
the program would cali for an end
to the pleasure driving ban in the
East, an increase in A rations, and
halt to the practice of deductlng
an allowance for occupa tional driv-
ing from the A books of B and c
book holders.
The automobile club president said
Federal agencies would no longer
enforce sectional discrimination.
and Eastern motorists soon would
find themselves Back in the United
States with right to transporta-
ton equal to that granted to resi-
dents OF the Midwest" He added
that other adjustments will be
made, all in the direction of liberal
lied control"
Responsible for bringing about
new program. Mr.. Gottlieb said,
were the clamor of the motoring
public for facts on Oil shortages and
what he termed the row between
Price Administrator Brown and Pc
troleum Administrator Ickes.
Mr.. Gottleib predicted that face
value and actual gasoline pump
value of each denomination of cou-
Don would be the same from the
East Coast to the Rocky Mountains.
anc he added that a proposal to
give B and c coupons a uniform

operations were almost equally
handicapped
If similar conditions arise at the
end OF this war, the report added,
the sudden disruption of the Gov
eminent staff might be repeated.
In any event it seems unlikely
that the 'dollar-a-year' men and
other important KEY offifflcials in
the war agencies will be able for
any considerable period after the
termination of the conflict to resist
the pressure to return to their own

Mussollnis day-apparently feared
operated too much under German
orders.
The Germans were said to be
moving into the Udine region and
Trieste from Klagenfurt, Austria,
cutting to the southwest across the
corner Of Yugoslavia and the Julian
Alps lust as the AustrlanS drove
through in the first World War.
Nazl columns also were reported
moving westward from Klagenfurt
through mountain passes leading
across the Italian frontier.
Italians Resist
1t appeared that the Germans
might be bent on occupying all the
territory north of the Pc River
which they consider necessary to
their defense plans.
First reports of the fighting were
brief, but they indicated that spora
die resistance was being offered by
some Italian troops, who apparently
shared the peoples conviction that
peace with the Allies is not far off.
Italian forces were said to be
strongly entrenched at Milan and
Bologna and should the Italians
wish they might make German oc-
cupatlon of the Pc Valley very diff
cult.
The full scope of Germany S
plans was not immediately appar-
ent. but it Is possible that she
might limit occupation to forward
positions in the Udine Valley. with
the main Balkan defense line in the
Julian Alps and Trieste.
SquabbleS in Balkans.
If the Germans should move west
and south. however, beyond the
Piave River, where Marshal Ba-
doglio as World War general
fought German and Austrian forces
based on Venice, it would seem
obvious that their aim would be the
mouth of the Pc below Ferrara and
presumably the whole northern Pc
watershed.
The problem Of the Italian di-
visions now serving in the Balkans
doubtless is headache to the Ger
mans in the present unsettled stu
alton.
A group Of Slavs and Croats who
arrived here Just before Benitc
Mussolinis resignation reported in
creasing squabbles between Italian
and German troops in the Balkans
Expect No Trouble.
Axis reports said the Germans eX-
oected no troubla from the IA Ital-
IAN divisions now occupying south
ern Croatia and the Dalmatian
coast.
1t is believed that the most the
italians might 90 is to cede theil
arms and stores to guerrillas, per-
haps to Gen. Draja Mihailovic as
well as TO other groups, and then
head for home in the event of peace
negotiations. these advices said
To keep Italian arms from these
groups, however, the Germans are

Fourteen japanese pillboxes were

said that so far there had been
no indication the enemy was
