Third War
Loan Drive

Washington, July o. (UP)-Presl-
dent Roosevelt called on Americans
today to "back the attack" through
the SIS, 000000,00 third war loan
drive which begins on Sept. 9.
Mr. Roosevelt said in a proclama
ton that "our need for money now
is greater than ever, and will con-
tinue to grow until the very day
that victory is won; so we must ask
far more sacrifice, far more CO.
operation than ever before.
Praising the American people for
their support of the first and second
war loan drives, the President said
that the third campaign, the largest
yet, gave every American IAN op-
portunity to express voluntarily and
under the guidance of his con-
science, the extent to which he will
back the attack"
The proclamation set Sept. 9 as
the opening date of the new drive.

New Crisis
Sends Adolf
Flying Home

London, July 81 U.Po
Adolf Hitler has flown back to
Berlin from his eastern headquar-
tiers, presumably as result OF the
Italian crisis, the Daily Mail said
today, and a German underground
station reported ITALIAN workers in
the Reich we're rioting and de-
manding to be sent back home.
German newspapers, in their first
editorial comment on the removal
of Benito Mussolini. said it was
still too early to speculate on the
effect of the change, but seized on
Marshal Pietro Badaglio's statement
that the war contoinues," as con-
firmation that Italy would continue
to fight on the side of Germany, a
Berlin broadcast said.
The underground station Allan
tic said that violent demonstrations
broke out among Italian workers in
Kiel, Weinerneuhtadt and Merse-
burg, throwing down their tools
and shouting:
The wars over! We want to go
back to Italy immediately
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-07-27

This statement followed Prime
Minister Winston Churchill's speech
to the House of Commons calling
upon Italy to surrender uncondition-
ally and at once or be scared, scar

end Railway targets in southeast
Italy were bombed but no heavy
raids were reported on the main
land.
There we're many new reports re-
garding Italy and the still undis-
closed whereabouts of deposed Be-
nito Mussolini, but most OF them
appeared to be in line with the pro-
uganda theme of the new govern
ment of Premier Marshal Pietro
Badoglio to convince the world -
especially the Allies-that the new
regime was antI-Fascist and popu-
lar with the people.
A dispatch from Stockholm quoted
the newspaper Allehanda that the
Nazi Gestapo had started leaving
Italy on orders of Badoglio. There
was no official confirmation of this
or other reports. 1t said the Ges-

London, July 81. CAPITALIZED
bombers streaked over Europe IN
daylight again today to carry on an
unprecedented day and night Of
fensive against Axis targets, nclud-
ing the great port of Hamburg,
which was smashed five times in 60
hours in a possible effort to prompt
reenactment of the 1918 German
naval mutinies. :,
The American ard British aerial
onslaught introduced several new
elements into the offensive against
Germany at time when the AXIS
was badly shaken by political up
heaval in Italy and new defeats on
the Russian front.
For the first time, the theory OF
steady round the-clock air blows
against great city was being ap-
piled according to the formula long
advocated by air circles. One OF
these blows dumped a record OF
1890 tons on Hamburg, leaving IT
flaming and covered with smoke
when speedy mosquito bombers re-
turned to the attack last night.
But greatest interest momentarily
centered on possible political devel-
opments. It was pointed out that

Headaches For Hitler
In Mussolini's Fall

news was received plus statements
that no special measures were nee
essary within Germany itself.
If Italy falls out of the war; and
opinion of the best informed per-
sons virtually is unanimous that 1t
now is in the cards Hitler will be
confronted with the necessity OF
raising about 100 divisions for re-
placement of Italian troops and sat
elites in the Balkans. He also will
be confronted with the problem OF
forcing the satellites to remain IN
the war.
1t is believed that Germany's min
imum requirements for the northern
Italy line would be 40 divisions.
Probably another 60 would be re-
quired for holding the Balkans IN
line.
Where Hitler is going to get the
troops is the big problem. II he
pulled 100 divisions from the eastern
front, there is little question that
the front would cave in.
Another possibility is the scraping
together of divisions from the occu-
pied countries but If an estimated
10 divisions moved from Norway and
30 to 40 from France it would ex-
pose their coasts to creation OF o
third Allied front.

Raj. Bombers Blast
Hamburg Trelessly

the whole Hamburg area has been
under tremendous strain since Sat-
urday.
No Rest or Sleep
The air raid precautions system,
including many thousand Of fire
fighters and anti-aircraft troops,
have been virtually without rest or
sleep and probably with little food.
The entire population has been put
under the same harassment with
only brief periods of all clear.
1t is the theory of air experts that
this type of attack multiplies it's
effectiveness many times with each
new raid and that soon the bombed
area loses any hope of dealing with
bombardment effectively If the at
tack continues without time for re-
covery, the breakdown becomes COM
plete.
In this connection it was pointed
out that Hamburg was the scene OF
naval mutinies that marked the be-
ginning of the end for the Germans
in 1918. Today 1t is a great base
for U-boats, which recently have
been harried and battered by new
and powerful Allied counter ATTACKS.

New Cabinet
Is AnoIyzed
BY REYNOLDS PACKARD

united freSS Sta1f correspondent
Allied headquarters, North Africa,
July 27-CUP)-The new Italian
cabinet appears to be not only less
liberal than expected but also of
doubtful quality to handle Italy's
delicate position.
AS matter of fact, at first glance
it seems to be little more than COL
lection of semi-official Fascists and
nonentities put n by Premier Pietro
Badoglio only because its member
ship would not arouse opposition at
home.
Most of the men were too obscure
to have many enemies in politics.
1t remains to be seen whether they
have the capability necessary to
cope with the transition of Italy
from an Axis partner to her next
step toward peace.
Probably the best known among
them is Raffaele Guariglia, new
foreign minister, career diplomat
who has been ambassador to Tur-
key and Argentina. He has less FaS-
cist leanings than the other men,
bers, having followed a fairly nom
political course during his public
service.
Although lack of news obscures
the real situation in Italy, Badog-
lilo seems more and more to be play
ing the part for his country that
Petain played for France. He is try

to ease the nation through a tough

An attempt by Premier Pietro Bad

Italy out of the war reasonably
soon was forecast by Secretary of
Navy Frank Knox today, while
other officials promised intensified
assaults against the italian main

In a press conference discussion

words were purely personal beliefs

move to be initiated by King Victor

Plans for local rationing of milk

The major reason for the expected

Other factors pointing to smaller
