declared today that the king and
royal house of Italy express the
will of the Italian people and the
nations armed forces remain faith
full to King Vittorio Emmanuel,
obeying him exclusively.
Other points in the Italian pre-
mier's speech broadcast by the
United Nations radio were:
The Italian people wish to have
nothing to do with Fascism, be it
called republican or monarchic.
The Italian people have not be-
trayed the Germans but have in
stead been betrayed themselves by
the Nazi-Fascist gang.
The citizens and population of
the north will never forget the
thousands of their sons who were
sent to die in Russia and the Afri-
can deserts in the sole interest of
Germany.

TABLES ARE TURNED

CAMP DAVIS, Sept. o.
(AP)-A tow-headed newsbOy
who sells papers in the Anti
Aircraft Artillery school still
thinks he put a fast one over
on the Army. Getting into one
of the camp busses used to
transport soldier and civilian
personnel from one end Of the
camp to another he dutifully
handed the driver a quarter.
The driver quietly gave him
his change-two dimes and a
nickel.
Without a word the newsboy
took the change and sat down,
confiding to a fellow passenger
that "the driver forgot to take
out my fare!"
What the newsboy didn't
know was that there is no
charge for the camp bus serv-
ice.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Although Susan still was annoy
ed with Bill when evening came.
she went ahead and prepared a
good meal. Or she hoped he would
think it was good: not so much
because she wished to please his
palate especially, but because the
meal consisted of things she plan
ned to serve at the cafeteria. There
was an inexpensive meat loaf, a
health salad Of Jaw vegetables.
a baked dish of tomatoes and DO
tatoes with sprinkling of grated
cheese, and observation-disclosures
pudding with cornstarch base.
Maybe the starch element FREEDOM
mated. but she wasn't going to
let that bother her-not at the mo-
men. She wasn't trying for
balanced meal just then. but was
trying out certain dishes she would
use later on.
The meal was ready to be serv-
ed when Bill came down from the
bathroom, washed and unusually
cheerful.

petizing!" he exclaimed. as he
took his place at the table.
