1t. Gen. Delos c. Emmons, COM
manding general of the western
defense comanmd, today announc-
ed that he has no intention of

Pacific coast at this time
Gen. Emmons, at his first press
conference here last week, said that
any changes in the regulation of
liquor to service men nigh be
formulated by state authorities.
Today, the general announced
that lit is quite possible that some
statements which appeared have

pletely independent" in what the
dispatch termed fresh, gigantic
start in German policy toward Eur
ope".
The correspondent, Ryo Suke
Honda, was quoted in Tokyo radio
broadcast recorded by United Press,
San Francisco, as describing the
purported plans as sharp change
in the Reichs policy toward races
in the occupied areas" of Europe.
Prior to the downfall of the Ital-
ian government" the broadcast dis
patch said, occupied areas, parti-
cularly Croatia, were subjected to
many restrictions due to Germany's
close relations with Italy.
Following the withdrawal of Ital-
ian forces from the Balkans, due
to the ignoble surrender of Badog-
lio'S regime, the German govern
ment apparently is intending to
recognize territorial expansion as
we'll as the liberal independence of
the Croatia sector.
"It is understood Germany is
planning to recognize Albania in
the near future and give independ-
ence to that country as unit of
the European new order in response
to a demand of the Albanian race"
The Japanese dispatch continued
that Germany was expected to grant
independence to Albania "close on
the heels of German recognition of
the complete independence of Croa-
tia, and Greece, as we'll as Serbia
=. which is indicative of sharp
change in the Reichs policy toward
the races of occupied areas"

Allied armed forces knocked
down 10 more Nazi air transports
fleeing from Corsica and fought
forward with bayonets and massed
cannon north of Salerno today to
win rugged hills within sight of the
burning and sacked city of Naples.
Eyewitness accounts from the
flaming battlefront south of Naples
reported bitter fighting on precipit-
Gus mountains, day and night
bombardment by massed Allied ar
tillery exceeding the famous bar
rage that broke the Nazi line at Ell
Alamein, the repulSe of Nazi tank

The Americans and British on the
hard-Won heights north of Salerno

destruction as the Germans blew UP
military installations in the Naples

the Allied air and artillery often
