THE THEORY also was sup
ported by the wsverlnE Charac-
ter Of Allied policy between
Sternness and mildneSS toward
Marshal -Badoglio during the
first couple Of weeks after II
Duce was out, and the cessation
OF Allied sir assaults against
italian mainland bases.
Widely circulated reports
from neutral countries and else
where said the Italians during
this phase attempted to obtain
Allied permission 10 get out of
the war, granting the Allies
Sicily but retaining neutral
ned status for the Italian PENN
Sula.
Such a suggestion presumably
was advanced through a third
party and obviously was unac-
ceptable 10 the Allies, No new
approaches apparently were
made by either side until the
Sicilian campaign was nearly
over when Italian eTlSSaT1eS
reached Lisbon and talks opened
presumably about Aug. Is.
II was believed that then the
Germans had only about eight
divisions in Italy although they
probably had completed plans
for greatly Strengthening their
position there. This belief was
reinforced by the fact the Ger
mans had from is 10 l9 divi-
sions available by the time the
Allies landed and the armistice
was signed.
THE QUESTIONS posed by
Strsbolgi were:
. Whether the Allies were in
position TO get the maximum
benefits from Mussolini's custer
by taking Italy from the war
quickly. and
. Whether the Allies most
beneficially utilized the sue
ceeding time if they really were
unprepared al the time Musso-
lini fell.
IN THIS connection. the de-
terrnined Nazi resistance IN
Sicily must have thrown the
Allied timetable somewhat out
OF kilter, presumably slowing
the preparations for invasion OF
Italy
There also is little doubt as
indicated by MuSSohnis rescue,
that Italy was the scene OF some
Of the worlds most complicated
double-crossing during the
period between July 1s and

SHIPS NAMED FOR DR. SHELDON JACKSON

Two new vessels have been named to honor Alaska pioneers by the Maritime committee. They are the liberty ships pr. Sheldon Jackson and Bishop Trimble Rowe.
 The honor for these Alaskan pi- oneers came about through the eff forts of Delegate A. J. Dimond in Washington, D. C. and Wrangelrs Mayor, Fred G. Hanford.
 A letter to Mayor Hanford from Alaska's Delegate says:
 Tn view of your letter of October 26, I know you will be interested in the enclosed copy of a letter dated October 30 addressed to me by Miss Eleanor Kunitz, Assistant Ship Naming Committee. United States Maritime Commission, rela- tive to the naming of Liberty ships in honor of Bishop Rowe and Dr. Sheldon Jackson"
 That the ships already been have launched is apparent from the let ter on the subject to Mr Dimond. It says:
 Thank you for your letter of October 4, 1943, suggesting the names of Peter Trimble Rowe and Dr. Sheldon Jackson two eminent Alaskans, for Liberty ships.
 q thought you would be inter ested to know that one of these names had already been assigned. The Sheldon Jackson, MIG Hull No. 482, was built by the Permanente Metals Corporation, Richmond Ship yard No. 2, Richmond, California, and launched April ', 1943. The second name, Peter T. Rowe, has re- gently been assigned to MIG Hull No. 21S1, building at the Permanente Metals Corporation, Richmond, Cal ifornia and is at present scheduled for launching on or about November 4, 1943."
