Gently left the railroad yards at
Bologna in a shambles, the travellers
said, Nazi military engineers quick
ly restored traffic on the main lines
to expedite the movement of Ger
man troops to strategic centers.
Civilian railroad travel is practi-
cally at standstill, they declared.
owing to the fact that the Germans
have requisitioned all usable rolling
stock to move their troops and war
material Waits of from five to six
hours for seats in trains were said
to be the rule. and travellers consider
themselves lucky if they are able to
obtain any sort OF transportation.
Bologna and Verona, other travel
ers arriving here said, have been
converted into key military transit
centers by the German forces and
civilian requirements are being
utterly ignored.
Throughout Northern Italy, where
the Nazis are feverishly constructing

By the Associated Press.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 5.-For-
mer Gov. Leor C. Phillips will be

Bigger Production
OF u. 5. Pu|pwood
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The News
paper Pulpwood Committee an
nounced today launching of sec
tionally directed drive to produce
more pulpwood and thus avert
threatened shortage of $500 900
cords
simultaneously in Washington.
Chairman Donald M. Nelson of the
War Production Board asked Gov
ernors in q pulpwood- producing
States to call on woodland owners,
operators and farmers ito do every-
thing within their power to increase
the production of logs to be used in
the manufacture of wood pulp"
Walter M. Dear, past president of
the American Newspaper Publishers
Association and publisher of the
Jersey journal. is head of the news
paper committee in the campaign
while Frank Block directs the War
Activities Committee, a pulpwood in
duStry group. Mr.. Block was in
dustry director for the scrap and
waste paper drive.
appears 10 governors.
The drive will be made in n
States spread over the Northeast.
Southern. Appalachian and Great
Lakes areas. Mr.. Nelson's plea went
to Governors of Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kentucky. Louisiana, Maine,
Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota,
Mississippi, Missouri, New Hamp-
shire, New York. North Carolina,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas. Vermont, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
Mr.. Dear said initial returns from
his first appeal to daily and weekly
newspapers indicated an enthusi-
astic willingness to match the record
of the Nationwide scrap campaign
Newspaper, large and small, are
responding magnificently to our ap-
peals both for money and active
editorial support" he said.
As a start in the drive, quarter
page advertisements were sent bv
the newspaper committee to about
1900 weeklies and dailies in the
pulpwood areas. Funds for the
campaign are being obtained from
newspapers and the pulpwood in
dustry.
Some Mills Shut.
II the campaign is successful
in circumventing $500, 0,000-cord
shortage of pulpwood it would bring
production up to the minimum of
100000 cords needed by the in
dustry this year. Normal peace etime
output is 100000 cords a year
The Newspaper Committee pointed
out that United States pulpwood
production was off "a per cent in
the 1943 first half while inventories
stood at 80 per cent below the level
of the like 1912 period, adding that
some mills already had shut down
for lack of wood.
Although the States Of Washing
ton and Oregon have large pulp
mills, the campaign was not d.
rected to the Pacific Northwest be-
cause of the highly mechanical
character of wood cutting in that
area.
Pulpwood is necessary for the
successful prosecution of the war
and the maintenance Of an adequate
civilian economy" Mr.. Nelson said
IN his plea to Governors.

til steps are taken to remove Italy
from the war. these reports said.
The military commander in Milan
was reported to have ruled that off,
GERS not on active service would not
be permitted to wear uniforms
without special permission. The
rule was promulgated, it was said,
because Fascists who were officers
in the Italian, Army had donned
uniforms in their efforts to evade
surveillance by the government.
Rome dispatches reported that
Minister of Corporations Leopold
Piccardi has declared that the CO.
operative system established by the
Fascist party must be dissolved
branding it IAN expedient imposed
by the Fascists for theological rather
than propaganda reasons"
The dissolution could not be i'm
medlately effected, the minister said.
but he was reported to have insisted
that the syndicates must resume the
elective system as soon as possible.
Another development reported
from Rome was the establishment
of a commission to investigate the
riches that Fascist Office holders
were reported to have acquired be-
tween October %, 1922, and July IA,
l943, during the reign of Fascism.
Fortunes irregularly obtained, it was
said, will be confiscated by the state.
The possibility was seen. that one
of the hardest hit may be Galeazzo
Ciano, MuSSolinis son-in law, and
former foreign minister. Ciano re-
putedly is one of the richest men in
Italy, having built up a huge per-
sonal fortune through real estate
manipulations and other deals while
he was in office.

Reported in Corsica

LONDON. Aug. 5 (P).-The Mos

disturbances were taking place on
the island of Corsica and that Ital-

Thousands demonstrated in the

Bonaparte was born thereJ
