WASHINGTON, July 27-(P)
- Secretary Knox said today
that developments in Italy indi-
cate some attempts to take that
country out of the war in the
reasonably near future.
The Navy secretary told his
press conference that he had no

situation, but that it was his
estimate that the appearance
of things indicates probably
some attempt at taking Italy
out of the war"
He was asked whether he
m ant an attempt by King
Emanuele and Marshal Badog-
Ito, successor to Mussolini. He
replied that he meant such an
attempt.
AS to the time, Knox said:
Il think it will come in the
reasonably near future"
The Navy secretary was re-
minded that when Secretary
Hull was questioned yesterday
about application of the "un-
conditional surrender formula
to Italy, Hull said he had not
vet consulted the Army and
Navy.
Knox commented that "only
one man. could say how the
formula would apply. Asked
whether that one man was
Prime Minister Churchill or
President Roosevelt, he quickly
amended his reply to say:
only two men could answer
your question but they will
speak with one voice, I arm
sure.
In response 10 further ques-
tioning the Secretary said Italy
possesses strategic positions USE
full to the Allies for certain
purposes. Bases set up in the
peninsula, he said. would be ex-
tr ,mely useful for an advance
across the Adriatic Sea and air
attacks on southern Germany.
Knox said he knew of no evil
dence of internal cracking IN

heavalS in Italy.
