ably the ''new seat of the Italian government" Crown Princess Marie Jose, wife of Grown Prince Umberto, and their four children entered Switzerland yesterday.
 BadOgliO's Whereabouts Whereabouts of Premier Marshal Pietro Badcgllo were not known. Rome radio said yesterday that he had left the capital for military in- spections" and later Paris broad cast asserted that he had departed by plane for an unknown destit1a- ton.
 The Daily Express diplomatic ex- pert, Guy Eden, said Mussolini still was in Italy and would be turned oyer to the Allies to be held for trial as a war criminal before Q court for international lawyers.
 Svenskda Dagbladet quoted 1talo- Swiss border rumors that Badaglio would resign soon in favor of for- mer Prime Minister 1vanoe Bonomi, a social Democrat who was forced into retirement by Benito Mussolini. Count Sforza, former foreign n1in- ister now in exile in the United States, would take over the foreign portfolio in the new government, the newspaper said.
 Count Sforza told the United Press in New York that he had mo knowledge of any rllmor of this kind." Ever since Mussolini's custer, there has been speculation that Sfor1a might be included in a democratic government in Italy)
 vitturi0 in Palermo
 Gen. Vittorio, chief of the Italian general staff, also was said to have flown to Palermo, together with a group of Allied officers who ar- rived in the Italian capital only 24 hours earlier.
 Svenska Dagbladet sought to climb down from its earlier reports of landings at widely scattered points along the Italian west coast with 0 dispatch asserting that they were only test operations, after which the forces re-embarked and with drew.
 Reliable information reaching Madrid said that Rome was quiet following announcement that Ger man troops would occupy only the German embassy, the broadcasting st. tion, the telephone exchange and other key points while the bulk of the Nazi forces remained outside the city despite it's surrender.
 Prior to the announcement, how ever, there were Q number of "in- cidents" in Rome between the Italians and German tourists, !" Madrid heard.
 Ultimatum Co Germany
 There were reliable reports, Mad rid said, that Badoglio at Q final cabinet meeting before leaving Rome sent an ultimatum to Ger many declaring that Italy would de- clare war on Germany if Nazi troops occupied Rome, If @ bogus national Fascist government continued to en- joy German support, and if Ger man troops interfered with the movement of Italian troops through Italy, the Balkans and France.

 OUT AS VICAR

watertown. Conn, Sept. ll-(UPl Members of All Saints Episcopal church at oakville, last night voted not to extend a call to ShunJi Nishi, California born Japanese American, as vicar of the parish be- cause of possible reaction due to the war.

at Taranto on the Italian south coast.
 However, at last reports only about half the Italian fleet was based at Taranto and the remainder at Speda on the northwest coast. German broadcasts yesterday admit ted that the Spezia -based warships had escaped, but claimed that NaZi planes sank one battleship and a cruiser and damaged badly another battleship, another cruiser and a destroyer.
 The Italian battleships comprise the 35,0o0-ton Littorio, Vittorio Ven- etc, Impero and Roma and the 2S,- 622-ton Giulio Cesare, Caio Duilio and Andrea Doria. At least three of the warships, including the Littorio and Vittorio Veneto, have been dam- aged by British torpedo attacks, Sut 1t was possible that the damage since had been repaired.
 The Littorio class warshipS were the pride of the Italian fleet with nine 15-inch guns and @ speed ex- ceeding 30 knots. The Cesare class battleships were built before the World War, but subsequently, were reconstructed.
 Escape Of Warships
 The escape of the Italian warships to Malta clinched Allied control oi the Mediterranean. Though the Axis had not seen fit to challenge Allied mastery in the inland sea since the fall of Tunisia, the mere presence of the Italian fleet obliged the Al. lies to keep strong units of their own at hand. Now, presumably some of the warships can be re- leased 10 service in other waters including the Pacific. ..
 A dispatch from Henry T. Gorreil United Press War Correspondent who witnessed the Anglo American landing on the Gulf of Salernt Thursday morning, revealed that troops actually swarmed ashore ap. proXimately 70 miles down the west coast from Naples, or l2 miles south of Salerno itself.
 Latest reports indicated that the invaders, with overwhelming ail support, were smashing northwarc against fierce resistance.
 There was no indication of which direction the British force landed a' Taranto would strike, though 1t va. possible these troops might thrust toward the west coast in an etfor' to trap the German rear guard re- treating up the Calabrian Peninsula before the British Eight Army.

 end of actual fighting and the effort to write 6 peace treaty-perhaps a matter of years rather than of months.
 MT. Roosevelt and Prime Minis ter Winston Churchill were under stood to be agreed on the principle of a long transition period from bel- ligerency to normal peaceful rela- tions. There was some wonderment that Wallace did not allow for that policy.
 Premature OF Ill-Advised
 Some congressman called Wal lace's proposal premature or ill-ad- vised. But, in general, comment for publication was on partisan lines spiced by much of9-record bi-par- tlsan expressions of annoyance.
 Wallace's suggestion recalled statement he made in San Fran cisco on Oct. 25, l939-just over two months before the beginning of Q presidential election year. Wallace then announced that MT. Roosevelt should run for third term.
 He intimated on that occasion that he was speaking without the presidents knowledge. White House reaction then was sharp and mme- diate.
 Tt would have been kind and polite of the speaker to have con- suited the victim before he spoke, snapped White House Secretary stephen T. Early in response to the 1889 third term boomlet. "1t could have been timed better if it had not been timed at all"
 The vice president evidently pred icated his new thought about the permanent peace conference chair. manship on the assumption thai MT. Roosevelt will be renominatec and elected to a fourth term. Ht ! explained that MT. Roosevelt coulc continue in the presidency while participating in the peace confer ence, a dual undertaking already performed by Woodrow Wilson.
 But Wallace indicated that MT Roosevelt should be the No. l United States representative and hold the chairmanship regardless of & fourth term, explaining that the president is lone man who is exceedingly im' portant to peace proceedings above any other man in the world"
 Some of the unfavorable congress sional reaction to Wallace'S pro- posal may be ascribed variously tt partisan politics, to the fact tha' the vice president Is not popular 1T either the house or senate and tt the fact that there are many states men in Washington who do not lik' MT. Roosevelt. But some longer headed observers here suggest tha' If events should place MT. Roosevelt at the World War II peace confer ence, he presumably would have thu backing of Americans for top posi- ton over, for instance, Chiang Kai' shek, Josef Stalin or Churchill.

 the industrial center of Dnieperope- trovsk.
 The whole German salient south and southeast of Chaplino was crumbling rapidly under tripham. mer Soviet blows. The capture oi Mariupol, metallurgical center on the Sea of Azov, knocked out the southern anchor of the German de- fense line in this sector yesterday and there seemed little prospect that the Nazis can make 8 stand east of Berdyansk, 45 miles to the west, or Melitopol, 70 miles farther west whose fall would cut the only rail- road line into the Crimea and doom the German garrison there.
 More than 2,500 Germans were killed south and southwest of Stalino yesterday and about 15 localities hb- erated. while 14O towns and villages were seized farther west.
 Another 30 villages fell to the Russians on the approaches to KieV and an equal number to other forces above Bryansk.

 Almost all Italian warships es- capped from the Germans, 1t was ill- dicated. Swiss reports published in Sweden said the Naxis were able to seize only Q few vessels at Trieste which R special GermAn coEl1Tllunique yesterday said had been captured by German troops.

tContinued from Page D was obviously read from a manu- script at top speed and with none of the usual emphasis on specific points. The high points of the speech, which was said to have been made from Hitler'S headquarters, were broadcast in advance by the German official news agency, an un- usual procedure. Hitler spoke list lessly and apparently with no audi ence.
 Slow to Enter
 He asserted that Italy had been scheduled to enter the war when 1t started in 1889 but at that time he did not insist that Benito Musso- lini fulfill 1taly's obligations to the Axis, leaving 1t up to Rome to choose the time to act. He praised Musso- lini as the greatest son of the Ital- ian soil" since collapse of the an- cient Rome empire. He said the collapse of Italy had been foreseen by that the surrender was due to sabotage by traitors.
 The fuehrer said Germany would never be destroyed and that, in addi- ton to repaying the present Allied air raids, i've will find other and different means to fight back"

 Jubilant Italians
 Jubilant Italian soldiers ashore shot up green, red and white verey lights and star shells
 The exhibition wasn't appreciated by the anxious navy force whose gunners kept 6 sharp lookout on the night sky for German divebombers, knowing that if the carrier force and It's escort was discovered it would have e tough job evading bombs.
 A message picked up by Q carrier was the first news that Italy had surrendered and that the British on the toe of Italy were advancing without resistance.
 Tt smells like cheese to me, eh, what?" said e junior officer on the bridge, holding his nose.
 Just then there was an afraid alert because of unidentified planes in the vicinity and our cruisers guns turned to open fire on the enemy.
 LAW, he'll" said 6 pom-pom gum ner, That's only one of our Italian friends. We mustn't hurt him."
 Taking No Chances
 The admiral and his captains weren't taking any chances on the news. The admiral ordered the operation to proceed on schedule until further orders were received.
 Everybody was keyed up in view of the fact we had a number of car- riers with us and we expected to have to face the full force of the enemy air attack. :.
 We were heartened by Q report that the American and British war ships under Hewitt's command were steaming in our direction.
 The assault region was extreme range for fighters from Sicily and the carrier force had to provide maximum protection for the naval task foce. We did that from dawn on. Fighters, by the scores, streamed constantly to and from the coast. As result there were numerous afraid alerts but the German planes didn't get close to the warships and the invasion convoy. Two junkers SSs were shot down.
 The invasion force approached the Italian coast like black mass of beetles littering the sea and con verged toward appointed spots with mine sweepers going ahead.
 The first signal we received on operations ashore was about 5 q. m to the effect the beaches were cape tured. Rangers and commander went off according to plan.
 It was & beautiful day although there was a slight haze. Returning pilots were disappointed because oi the lack of action. There had been only two engagements in the air.

(Contanueu from Page D known as Q disbelieyer in Fascisnl: !: but he tempered his lack of faith or belief in the Mussollni regime by accepting decorations and titles from the now-fallen n Duce.
 To the successor of Benito Musso- lni and to all Italians including members of the armistice-boun armed forces, the president and Churchill said pointedly:
 "You have already freed your country from Fascist servitude There remains the even more iHn- portant task of cleansing the Ital- ian soil from German invaders. Hit Ter, through his accompliee Musso- lini, has brought Italy to the verge of ruin.
 Disastrous Campaigns
 He has driven the Italians into disastrous campaigns in the sands of Egypt and the snows of Russia The Germans have always deserted the Italian troops on the battlefield, sacrificing them corltemptuously in order to cover their own retreats Now Hitler threatens to subject you to all the cruelties he is perpetrat- ing in so many lands"
 Significantly the message was not addressed to King Victor Emman- uel, nor was he mentioned.
 Not SO long ago-six weeks ago. MT. Roosevelt denounced the office of war information for referring to the monarch, in broadcast beamed to Europe the day after Badoglic took over the reins from Myssolini as "the moronic little king" To. day he left linsaid how he now re- gards the king.
 The statement generally was re. garded as another Salvo in thu Roosevelt Churchill war of nerves against the Axis. But at the same time 1t was felt that 1t might give some Italian military leaders sui. ficient impetus to rally their forces to an effective resistance against German efforts to take over tho country.
 The statement also appeared to be an attempt to offset German efforts to set up Mussolini as the puppe' leader of trump Italian regime.

Scanning the faces of those at- tending the MOnagan-fOr-Ma rally Thursday night it was notice able that the same tactics which were used in 1889 were again be- ing applied. The difference lies in the fact that John MOnagan Is in office and has the advantage of a number of months of good admin istration behind him, plus all the dividends accumulated during the Scully regime. When Vincent SculIy took over in 1899 and made his effort, he had to start from scratch and build up an Organiza- ton from top to bottom. It was no miracle that he emerged the win- ner in primary, referendum, and election, but the result of hard work, good organization, and plenty of regard for the voter.

A scant week in which to coEn- plete all their pre-primary plans may mean all the difference in the world to the forces of William J. Ca- vanaugh In the battle scheduled for next Friday, the 17th. Administra- tion forces of Mayor John s. Mon- agan, including the Democratic Town Committee moved swiftly when they had the date set for next week. However, recourse to past primary history would have shown That the date was bound to be about the goth of the month. Two years ago when the mayor, the late Vim cent Scully was seeking his second term and was unopposed the prirn- ary date was September 20. It was just a forrnality that year, but, nevertheless, that was a fair guide to this years date.

As to the outcome next week the kky's the limit on discussions as to Eho'll carry which wards and why. Monagan supporters won't concede Cavanaugh a chance in either the Second or Third Wards; the First is ralled doubtful while the Fourth and Fifth are termed the battle grounds. But they say you can get bets that Monagan will carry the Fourth and Fifth despite the fact that Senator John Tobin carried khem in his battle with Pat Wal Iace last year. And this year there RS the added strength that "Bill' Cavanaugh is reported to be sup plying in the East End. All of which means that the side with the best organized effort in the big districts will carry them; and administration organization is 1000 per cent high CT today than year ago.
