. HIS SON-|N-LAW
.MussOlini's Cabinet Shake
up Startles Europe; AS
sumes Responsibility
BY ROBERT DOWSON
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

London, Feb. 6.-(UP)--Benito
Mussolini, dictator Of war weary
italy, got back into the spotlight
today by firing his son in law from
the foreign ministry and dismissing
eight other cabinet members In q
shakeup so sweeping II startled Ell
rope-apparently even Germany.
It was believed here that more
startling moves were to come, but
well-informed quarters warned that
Mussolini was so thoroughly In the
clutches Of Adolf Hitler that any
open move away from him was
hardly possible.
The cabinet changes, most drastic
In their significance In Mussolinis
20 years in office, followed immedi-
ately upon the dismissal Of Mar
shall Ugo Cavallero aS chief Of the
italian general staff and the sur
prising dispatch to-, Ankara as am.
bassador Of Augusta Ross, many
years ambassador to the Unitet
states where he has many contacts
At Ankara Rosso would be able te
effect contact with Laurence A
Steinhardt, American ambassador
whose friend he was when both
were stationed In Moscow.
Well informed quarters here had
no information on reports that
Crown Prince Hrlmbeit Of Italy
had been designated to command
the Italian troops on the Russian
front, possibly in an attempt to
keep him from being presented as
o symbol OF any revolt IN Italy.
Informants were skeptical Of the re-
port.
Germany as well Us Allied coun-
tries was slow to comment OH Mus
solinis action. But 1t was sug-
gested that Galeazzo Ciano, dis
missed as foreign minister, and the
others who lost their posts were be-
ing made scapegoats for the disas-
tiers which had cost Italy Its en-
tire African empire and made IT
the butt. of ridicule in Germany as
well as In Allied capitals.
Prestige Shattered
With new men, all veteran fas-
cists like those who went, 1t was
suggested, Mussolini would try to

STEEL FORMULA
REVISION URGED
1919 Demand Sought By
CLIO. in Resisting Anti
Labor Legislation
BY SERRELL HILLMAN
UNITED Press staff Correspondent


Washington, Feb. 6-(UP)-The
executive board Of the Congress OF
Industrial Organizations, following
up the formation of coalition OF
100000 organized workers to re-
sist anti-labor legislation, Is eX-
pected today to demand at least a
10 per cent upward revision Of the
War Labor Boards Little Steel
formula.
The board concludes n two-day
session today. Yesterdays meeting
ended with the announcement by
CLIO President Philip Murray that
four labor organization-the CLIO,
the American Federation of Labor,
the Railroad Brotherhoods and the
National Farmers Union have
agreed upon a plan to cooperate in
a fight against a congressional "un-
holy alliance of poll tax Democrats
with the most reactionary wings Of
the Republican party"
John L. Lewis United Mine
Workers of America, claiming more
than 100000 other workers, was
conspicuously missing from the new
labor front.
The CLOS announcement accused
the "unholy alliance" of congress-
men of serving notice of intention
to sabotage, rather than to sup
port, the commander in-chief of the
United States" by riding rough
shod" over any consideration of ma
tional welfare, war policy, national
unity and health for war workers"
and by attacking labor and reduc-
ing labor standards.
CLIO officials declined to state how
much of a revision in the Little
Steel" formula would be sought.
But they emphasized that they
thought wages must be increased
sufficiently to meet % per cent
rise in the cost of living since Jan.
l, 1941.
The WLB's formula placed a cell
ing on wage increases - is per cent
over levels prevailing on Jan. /, 194l.
But the board is not bound to all or
any part of that increase and would
even consider higher ones If 1t
thought inequalities and maladjust-
ments existed in specific cases.
Labor officials complain that the
wage formula was set up in May,
1912, and does not therefore take

American Conquest
OF Guadalcanal Near
Air.Sea Battles Still in Pre-ShOwdown Stage; Tassa-
farOnga in U. S. Hands; Japs, Though Out
numbered Remain Resistful
BY SANDOR s. KLEIN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

washington, Feb. 8 - Cup -
American conquest Of Guadalcanal
appeared to be nearing conclusion
today but the air-sea battles going
on around the island for more than
a week were still in the pre-show-
down stage.
Aside from reporting that the en-
gagements at sea were continuing,
and using O new word to describe
them-"sporadic" navy shed
no light on the actions which 1t
had previously described as "recur=
rent"
On Guadalcanal, American ground
forces the army troops
which replaced tn original marine
invaders Of that island-were be-
lieved to have captured Tassafaron-
ga, once Japanese base and major
landing point for enemy reinforce
rnents. ,.... ,......-,-.s.,... !, ", N,
The navy's coinmunique did not
specifically announce capture OF
Tassafaronga but 1t reported that
the Americans had advanced along
the north coast to position one
half mile northwest Of that settle
ment. That indicated enlightenment
Of Aassafaronga which Is 10 miles
west Of Henderson air field. Naval
sources said, however, 1t could be
assumed that Tassafaronga was IN
American hands.
Tassafaronga's loss would deprive
the Japanese Of the only good lana.
ing beach on the north coast OF
Guadalcanal close to their main
troop concentrations on the island.
The close patrols maintained BY
American air and surface forces
have prevented the Japanese from
making landings there for some
time and the enemy has transferred
such operations-without much sue
cess--to the Cape Esperance area.
Cape Esperance, on the north
west coast, Is only ii miles from the
present advanced American lines.
The remaining enemy forces, be-
lieved to number barely 1000 effec-
tives, now Is compressed into an
area Of little more than 40 square
miles.
Despite being outnumbered, the
Japanese have been able to put up
stiff resistance because Of their
favorable defense positions in the
brush and juugles Of the mountain
GUS area. The American advance
has been slow but steady.
Once the Americans reach Cape
Esrerance, the Japanese will be de-
prived of the only worthwhile land
ing beach and the enemy troops will
either have to surrender, fight to
the death or disperse into the hills.
With organized resistance smashed.
1t will be possible for the Americans
to develop defensive or offensive
positions in other area of the island.
The navy's latest communique
told of bomber attack on the
Japanese central Solomons air base
at Munda, New Georgia Island. The
action occurred on Thursday Qs-
land Time) but the navy gave no
details.
