Col. A. B. Jones of the Corps Of

VINO Sees No Hone
To Fill October Call
With Non-Fathers
|. Figures Only Slightly
Lower Than Droft List
For September
"LONG TOM" MOVES F
By MIRIAM OTTENBERG.

The October call for men for
the armed forces--the unknown
quantity in estimating how many
fathers will be drafted in Octo-
ber--is only slightly lower than
the September call and not low
enough to fill with nonfathers,
a War. Manpower Commission
spokesman said late today.
The formal call from the armed
forces for October was received by
VINO this afternoon. The Septem-
ber call, which it almost duplicated,
was for $4,000 men for all services.
Ohhcials indicated that there had
been some hope that the October
call would be lower-particularly
in the light of recent statements
from ranking Army and Navy
spokesmen that the demand. for
men to the end of this year had
been reduced.
VINO and Navy Estimates Vary.
VINO officials made it clear, how
ever, that these statements had not
been reflected in the calls.
A VINO spokesman told reporters
that the figures given out by Secre-
tary of the Navy Knox earlier this
week did not conform to estimates
VINO had received from the Navy
Secretary Knox had been quoted as
saying that 194,500 additional off,
GERS and men would enter the Navy
this year.
VINO Chief McNutt, however, had
told an earlier press conference that
calls for the Navy alone were aver
aging 100000 men a month.
Lawrence A. Appley, VINO execu-
tive director, told reporters today
the VINO had not been advised OF
any changes in Navy demands.
No Figures on Fathers.
Asked about the variation of more
than 100000 men, Mr.. Appley de-
clared:
I'VE deliver the goods as we get
the orders II there is confusion
in the figures, you'll have to straight
en- them out where the confusion
exists" ..-...
Oncials could give no estimate as
to the exact number of fathers who
would be drafted in October be-
cause of the size of the call, but
Mr.. Appley suggested that the ad-
ditions to the non-deferable lists.
announced last week end, might
mean that the only fathers called
in october would be those who did
not leave jobs now listed as non-
deferable. He admitted. however,
that there was no way of knowing
how many fathers held these jobs
and how many would switch to de-
fense work

Because of Fares, He
Tells ICC Inquiry

Maj. Gen. John T. Lewis, COM
manding general of the Washington
military district, declared today that
extremely high and discriminatory"
transportation rates to the Pentagon
Building in Virginia were impeding
the war effort through large turn
over in civilian personnel dissatis-
fed with transportation facilities.
The testimony of Gen. Lewis came
as the Interstate Commerce Com
mission opened public hearing on
trans-Potomac bus fares involving
four Washington and Virginia
transportation companies.
A survey made by the War De-
partment, Gen. Lewis said, shows
that the major cause of the turn
over among civilian employees in
the Pentagon Building was high

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 1.-the United
Nations radio at Algiers today
broadcast d Bern dispatch quot
ing Adolf Hitler's newspaper
Voelkischer Beobachter as saying
that "the whole German govern
ment has left Berlin"
The broadcast was recorded BY
the Associated Press.
There was no immediate expla.
nation or confirmation Of the re-
port.
The statement that the whole
German government" had moved
came as surprise in London, all
though there had been numerous
unconflrmed reports the last three
or four weeks that some govern
mental departments were being
transferred.
Vans Believed Going to Vienna.
These reports-none of which had
any official confirmation-told Of
great vans being loaded at the doors
Of Berlin MINISTRIES and rolling
away-possibly to Vienna, Linz or
Breslau.
Neutral reports have told Of the
moving Of some governmental offices
to Vienna shortly after the Germans
announced that they were with
drawing nonessential civilians from
Berlin.
One Britisher said that "if the
report is true it undoubtedly is In
spired by the fear of o Hamburg
bombing which in a single night
might destroy tons Of records and
create chaos in the governmental
machinery" y
There also was the possibility that
removal OF the government might

There were no accurate estimates
in London of the number Of per-
sons who would be involved If the
whole government moved, but con-
servative guess would be that at
least a million of Berlins 4,400 900
population are connected In some
way with civil or military govern

The city already is in the middle
OF the evacuation of more than 4
million women and children, whose
removal was ordered after Hamburg

American Liberators operating
from North African bases struck
within 27 miles of Vienna when
they attacked Wiener Neustadt last
week, and the Austrian capital is

Axis Expected to Make
Strong Fight for Northern
Section at Least
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 19.-The Ger
mans are moving troops into
Italy in considerable strength,
apparently intending to make a
real fight for at least the north
ern end of that country, a COM
petent British military inform
ant said today.
Several divisions" have been on
the move to italy from France and
Germany in the last week or two,
but an exact estimate Of Nazi
strength in Italy is not possible now,
said this commentator.
From other sources came indica-
tions that the Germans are not only
moving into Italy, but that their
troops from Western and Northern
France have taken over the French
coastal stretch from the Italian
border to Toulon-previously garri-
soned by Italian troops.
Told to Prepare for Invasion.
A radio broadcast in the name of
the Allied high command told pa
triots in occupied Europe last night
to prepare for invasion of the con-
tinent, which already might be
near"
German commentators kept
up chatter about an invasion

mean. A Berlin broadcast record

tonnage of $4,000 were damaged

In raid on the Tunisian port of
Bizerte after major concentra-
ton had been observed there.
There was no Allied confirmation
OF such raid
The best information in London
before the fall of Sicily indicated
the Germans had two or three divi-
sions south Of Naples on the Italian
mainland and these plus perhaps
$4,000 troops evacuated from the Is
land would give the Germans force
of $4,000 to $4,000 for defense o1
Southern Italy-if they still are
there.
Question Of Strength.
With the Italian Army fairly wei
written off as ineffective without
German support, the question o1
Nazi strength in Southern Italy i.
regarded as a key factor affecting
the next Allied step.

seemed to be that the German Army
