Germans Have 10
Divisions i'm Italy

FIFTEENTH ARMY q r o u p
HEADQUARTERS, Italy, Nov 10
(UP) )-Mediterranean thcater fight
ing has pinned down so German
divisions (possibly 10000 mem,
including 10 on the south ItalJ
battle front, which Hitler urgently
needs in Russia, it was stated au-
tnoritatively today
Three of the 10 divisions facing
the Allied Fifth and Eighth armies
and blocking the path to Rome
were moved up only recently and
showed plain evidence that German
reserves of experienced men and
equipment were running low.
The three new divisions had only
horses and mules for transport.
Each was sprinkled with youths
lacking combat experience. Some
brought in obsolete or understood
weapons.
This is not to say the enemy was
due to collapse. The German forces
had many toughened, battlc-wise
officers and men forming the core
of their strength.

Every 10 days or two weeks a

One reason for the shortage,

Another reason the haber-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21-(P)
Some Qualification of tho sold
Ter vote issue was promised to-
day as Secretary Knox was call
ed before the House Committee
on Election of National Officials
to give his views on proposals
for absentee balloting by serv-

AcuteneSs of the situation was
emphasized by Chairman Wor-
ley (D-Tex) who expressed be-
lief il would be physically inn
possible" TO give service men a
vote in the primary elections
because of the short time be-
tween primaries and general
elections.
Rep Rankin (D-Miss) de-
elared straight ballots cast by
absentee voting might be illegal
in his state where the law for
bids straight party tickets. The
Worley Bill would permit the
voting of straight party tick
ct or for individual choices.
The Navy secretary's views
have not been made known TO
members Of the committee.
However, they expect him to ia
vor the principle Of absentee
balloting by service men

In addition 10 Knox, Navy,

Famed Boxer to Stress
PHYSICAL Fitness in
Series Of Camp ToIks

Sergt. Joe Louis Barrow, world
heavyweight boxing champion,
who now is at Fort George g.
Meade, Md, will start Wednes-
day on a 100-day tour of boxing
exhibitions at Army camps in
the United States, the War De-
partment announced today.
In addition to these exhibitions,
Louis will speak to men at the vari-
GUS camps on the value of physical
fitness, stressing the theme that a
"well-conditioned army is fighting
army" -.
On his tour the heavyweight
champion will be accompanied by
his old sparring partner, First
Sergt. George Nicholson, now a
boxing instructor at Mitchell Field,
N. Y. Corpl. Walker Smith, welter-
weight, known in boxing circles as
Sugar Ray Robinson" who is as
sistant to Sergt. Nicholson, also will
be included in the group.
The tour will be made under the
direction of the Armys Special Serv-
ice Division.
The Louis group is at Fort Meade
to give a preliminary exhibition to-
night. Early Wednesday the party
moves on to the 1st Service Com
mand in Boston, where exhibitions
will be staged at Camp Miles Stand
iSh, Camp Edwards and Fort Devens,
all in the Boston neighborhood.
Their baking tour will be staged
thereafter at the other eight serv-
ice command areas of the country.
Six days are allotted to the tour of
camps in the Sd Service Command,
which embraces Maryland, Virginia,
Pennsylvania and the District.
The stay in the various areas ranges
from five days in the I'd Service
Command of the New York area to
q days in the 9th Command in the
Southwest.
Due to the fact 124 camps put in
requests for Louis, and only 100 days
could be allotted to the tour, desig-
nation of camps to be visited has
been left to the commanding gen.
erals of the various areas.
The War Department disclosed
that at the close of the tour in the
United States tentative plans call
for the champion and his sparring
partners to 60 overseas to give box
ing exhibitions in various war
theaters.

Belief Grows in Britain
Open City Declaration
Was Badog|io Trick
Beoverbrook Poper
Demands Bombines
Be Continued
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Aug. 16.-Belief that
the Italian declaration of Rome
as an open city" was merely a
trick by Premier Pietro Badoglio
to spare it from further bom-
bardment appeared to be grow
ing in Britain today and Lord
Beaverbrook's London Daily Ex-
press bluntly demanded that
Allied air attacks be continued
until Italy quits the war.
There has been no official COM
ment in London on the Italian
declaration and none was anticipat-
ed In the absence of Prime Minister
Winston Churchill in Canada. The
Rome radio itself warned Italians
that they could expect security from
bombs only after the italian decla-
ration is officially accepted by the
Allies.
There were other indications that
the Italians were doubtful that they
could expect immunity. The London
Daily Mail heard an italian broad
cast which reported that the pre-
feet Of Rome had issued orders to
halt an influx of civilians seeking
residence in the city under the i'm
preston that it is a safe haven from
Allied bombs.
British suspicion that Badoglio's
declaration was nothing but a ruse
was founded on the fact that if the
Italians fulfilled the requirements
necessary to make Rome truly an
open city any defense of Southern
and Central Italy would be virtually
impossible.
All railroad lines on the west side
OF Italy run through Rome and
without them the forces to the south
