Italian people, and the Allies will
rid you of the Germans and de-
liver you from the horrors of war"
The only remaining obstacle to
peace is the German Aggressor

in limiting that the Allies were
willing to recognize Marshall Pietro
Badoglio, the new Italian Chief of
Government, and King Victor EN-
anuel III as responsible parties with
whom to arrange an armistice.
CONDITIONS GIVEN
Honorable conditions for peace
already have been given the Italian
government by the United States

and the fact that EisenhOwer's

OfNew Premier

LONDON, July 29.-(UP)
The Italian cabinet of Pre-
mier Marshal Pietro Badog-
lilo has arrsted several inn
nortant Fascist leaders, or
dered the liberation of all political
prisoners seized by the deposed
Mussolini regime, and promised that
that chamber of deputies would
be elected four months after the
cessation of hostilities, radio Rome
said today.
The broadcast said that several
important persons who were mill
tantS of the dissolved Fascist party
have been arrested as precau-
tionary measure to preserve order"
but it did not clarity the mystery
surrounding the present where
abouts or deposed Benito MussOlini
The cabinet decision to dissolve
the chamber of fascist corporations,
which was originated by Mussolini,
and, to hold elections followed a de-
cree yesterday dissolving the Fas-
cist party organization. Wearing of
Fascist emblems was banned and
only the Italian tri-cOlOr may be
worn, radio Rome said.
MAY TAKE TIME
Liberation of the many political
prisoners seized during Mussolini's
81 years in power may take some
time in view of the large number
of cases to be examined, Radio
Rome said, but the work will be
speeded as much as possible.
The reference to cessation of
hoStilitieS" was not clarified but
the cabinets action appeared to be
a hurried move along lines favored
by the Allies and there were per-
sistant but still uncOnfirmed re-
ports that peace feelers were being
put out. On Washington, acting
secretary of war Robert P. Patter-
son said no peace OvertureS either
formal or informal had been made
by Italy SO far as was known
there)
The Chamber of Fasci and cor
porations was created in 1889, with
members not subject to popular
election but taking their seats be-
cause of membership in the Fascist
grand council, the national council
of the Fascist party, and the ma
tional council of corporations.

Fascists Are Held
Acute Shortage Of
Labor within Six
Months Seen Here
VINO Places |. V. in List
Of Areas Where Needs
TO Be Great Soon

The Ell Centre BraWley
area has been declared an
acute labor district by the
War Manpower Commission,
according to dispatches re-
ceived here Thursday.
The region has been placed in
group two" which is defined by the
commission as areas where labor
stringencies exist and where a
shortage is anticipated within six
months.
SERVE AS GUIDE
The classifications serve as a
guide for the recruiting of labor in
the war manpoWer program.
While the demand for labor in
the district is not as acute now as
it was during the winter months
when farmers begin harvesting
crops and preparing soil for plant
ing in the fall the demand will in
crease materially.
Employment chiefs in the valley
had difficulty last winter in filling
the needs of farmers as well as
other employers and more acute
situation has been forecast for next
winter.
The importation of Mexican Ma
tionals helped relieve the situation
lin the past and this type of labor
will be depended on greatlyy dur
ing the coming vegetble season.
The War Manpower Commission
announced that all areas in Cali
fornia not now listed will fall in
group three-areas where labor
shortages may occur after the next
six months.
