ually would seek to set up a defense
line protecting the northern in
duStial area of Italy above the Pc
river
Although Badoglio was known to
have opposed the Nazis as we'll as
the FaScists in the past, there was
no concrete evidence that We would
try to oust the Germans and seek
peace with the Allies. The nearest
Rome radio came to limiting at an
/ anti-German stand was the diScon-
tinuance of daily lessons in the
German language and failure to
broadcast any foreign news. omit
ting even the daily Nazi communi-
que.
Badoglio emphasized that the
Fascist organization was being
liouidated as such by removing
Rlackshirt Guards at the Swiss
border and replacing them with
regular military police but he gave
no hint as to the whereabouts OF
Mussolini. who frequently has been
reported thin and gaunt recently
as result of illness.
Stockholm newspapers, usually a
center for Axis propaganda feelers,
also appeared to be without IN
formation of n definite nature put
did produce the usual rrmors and
Sneculation. One such rumor was
that Mussolini had fled to Switzer-
land or Germany. No source was
indicated. Another and conflctlng
rrmor in Stockholm was that
Badoglio had arrested Mussolini
and other high Fascists and that he
would later seek to use them IN ne
gotiations with the Allies. possibly
offering to turn the Fascists over
to the United Nations for trial on
War Guilt" charges.
DUE TO ILLNESS
Madrid reports said that Spanish
newspapers pointed out that MUS
solini's resignation presumably
was due to illness. Madrid also re-
ported that the custer was received
with wild joy in occupied Europe
especially in France.
There was also speculation that
Mussolini might have sought to save
himself by some negotiations
through the Vatican, where his SON.
in-law. count Galeazzo Ciano, has
been Ambassador and where the
Ciano family was expected to take
refuge.
The German propaganda line was
the obvious one. The Nazi broad
casts took the position that Mus
solini was i'll and that the govern
ment change at Rome would have
no effect on Axis relations and that
italy would fight on with Germany.
This position was taken by Nazl
propaganda Minister Joseph Goeb-
bells after considerable delay. The
Jaoanese broadcastS even delayed
is hours in announcing Mussolinls
resignation.
Badoglio quickly established a
drastic military regime in all OF
| Italy.
Badoglio also ordered a dusk-to-
dawn curfew and banned all public
meetings in what may have been
