colored Detroiters. Meantime, the
colored people OF the city are not
only outraged and indignant be-
cause OF his statement, but also fear
the outbreak OF more violence as
direct result OF IT, Colored
leaders bluntly accuse Mr.. Bowling
OF further inflaming an already still
dangerous racial condition in the
city.
AS soon as the Prosecutor had
blamed the riot on the colored citi-
zens and attacked the NAAC.P.
and the Negro press, statements
poured into the Chronicle denounc-
ing him for his dastardly disservice
to the people OF this city.
r. ]. Thomas, president OF the
UAW-CIO. said: Prosecutor Dowl-
ings statements are the most Sc
rious incitations TO race riots we
have haa since the riots themselves"
Walter White. secretary OF the
NA.AC.P.. said: "Dowling's intem-
perate outburst reveals one OF the
reasons for the riot-the miserable
failure OF law enforcement officials
to do their job and then attempt
to excuse their dereliction by blam-
ing trouble on those who for years
have pleaded that the laws be en-
forced"
A combined statement released by
the Detroit Tribune, the Pittsburgh
Courier and the Michigan Chronicle
says: Coming from a high public
Official such unfounded and infiam-
matory statements rs were made by
Prosecutor Bowling last Monday
are OF grave concern to the entire
community"
At the subcommittee meeting in
his Office Mr.. Bowling traced the
course Of the riot. according to his
version, from the beginning. He
said that his investigation showed
that on the night Of the riot a gang
of colored boys and girls purpose
fully attacked white people on Belle
Isle. He further stated that when
fighting between white and colored
persons began on the bridge lead
ing from the island, that colored
youth ran all the way TO colored
club in the downtown section OF the
city and announced over a public
address system that colored wom-
an and her baby had been thrown
into the river. Then, the prosecu-
tor says, the rioting broke out.
However, he completely sbsolves
the notorious Ku Klux Khan of any
blame for the riot by asserting that

He openly criticized the Rev.

him about the riot. stating that the

information to him. The prosecutor
also said that the subcommittee,

Grand Jury be called to investigate
the riot and determine the guilty
persons involved, had not given 10
him enough evidence to warrant
calling a Grand Jury. The sub-com-

pie. All minority groups in this
country have their own press be-
cause OF the failure TO secure ade-
quate representation in the metro
politan newspapers. One OF the
foundations of our democratic
system is freedom of the press.
The Negro press does not seek 10
stir up racial prejudice as charged
but 10 expose intolerance and dis
elimination for the public good.
Racial prejudice is a disease which
is detrimental TO democracy. All
Americans fighting for true DC
mocracy recognize the threat Of
racism to our nation and TO our
war effort. The Detroit Tribune,
the Pittsburgh Courier and the
Michigan Chronicle have repeated
ly warned in the last few months
OF the growing strife between the
races in this community. All three
papers asked for investigations of
racial tensions in this area long
before June 20.
The prosecutor opposes the call
ing Of grand jury on the grounds
that he lacks evidence yet in lis
public statement he charged that
if grand jury were called the
N A.A,C.P. would he the first to be
indicted. Many outstanding leaders
OF both races have requested a
grand jury. The biased statements
OF Mr.. William Bowling have done
positive harm, and he has made it
clear that he is unfit for public Of

this was impossible. though they ad-

arms to defend Rome as the Ger

One obstacle for Gen. Taylor and
Col. Gardiner was that they knew
the 5th Army would land at Salerno

they would have time to galvanize

parently being afraid to bring down

Italians Backed Down
On Aiding Air-Borne
Landing Near Rome
BY EDWARD KENNEDY,

Associated Press War Correspondent.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, AL
eters, Nov. 9.-The biggest tangible
result Of the campaign which be-
gan with the Allied landings In
North Africa year ago was knock
ing Italy out of the war. -
Some hitherto unpublished de-
tails of the Italian collapse and
the manner in which the country
went about getting out of the war
now may be revealed. These de-
tails are authenticated and come
largely from Italian sources.
With It's army depleted by the
loss OF a million men, mostly pris-
oners, It's air force shot out of the
sky, and its navy beaten and stay
Ing in port, almost every one in Italy
realized by last June that the coun-
try's war chances we're hopeless.
The internal situation was bad
and getting steadily worse. Bomb
Ing was disrupting industries and
communications. The Germans
displayed open contempt for the
Italians and frightened their grasp
on the country, which in reality
was no longer an Axis partner, but
a vassal. Morale was so low there
was no hope of reviving it under
these conditions.
Mussolini Routed.
To the Italians the best way out
Of the war seemed to be to oust
Mussolini and pin all responsibility
on him, then switch over to the
Allies and save as much as possible
in the postwar settlement.
There was disagreement, however
as to who should take power.
One strong element was the army

italians had come to talk about
switching sides, rather than capitu-
lation.
Italians Rebuffed.
The Italians were promptly told
that they were highly presump-
tuous If they thought the Allies were
ready to forget and welcome italy
into the fold so the Italians might
share In the fruits of victory.
They were reminded that the Al
lied terms Of unconditional sur
render already had been announced.
There was some pleading and a
speedy trip to Rome and back.
One promise was given-that the
Allies would help the Badoglio gov
eminent drive the Germans out of
Italy. It also was pointed out that
surrender would hasten return of
italian prisoners. The eyes of the
Italian delegates moistened at this.
The Italians went back to see
Badoglio, with the next meeting set
for Palermo, Sicily, where the
armistice was signed on the day the
British 9th Army landed on the
Italian toe
Meanwhile. it can be revealed now,
Brig. Gen. Maxwell Taylor and Col.

headed by Marshal Pietro Badoe-
Ito and attached to the House Of
Savoy-which never had liked the
Axis tie-up and was never more
than partly favorable to Fascism.
Another element was large part
OF the Fascist hierarchy itself, which
realized that Mussolini had outlived
his usefulness for them and that to
stand by him would be like staying
on a sinking ship. Count Dino
Grandi, one of Mussolini's hench-
men and always regarded as his
possible rival, assumed leadership OF
this element.
The Army decided to let the
Fascist element do the dirty work.
When Mussolini returned from his
meeting with Hitler in mid-July
with the proposition that the Ital-
ians join in fighting a delaying ac-
ton through the peninsula, such as
is being fought now by the Ger
mans alone, the opportunity was
ripe to throw him out.
King Backs Badoglio.
Badoglio, backed by the King,
gave Grandi and his supporters the
go-ahead sign and, in doing so, gave
them reason to believe they would
take over the government.
Mus~~.|i resigned and was i'm
prisoneC under circumstances al

But then the army switched the
light from green to red for Grandi
and his FascistS. They found them
selves out and the army in.

doglio's silence, which was not
broken until an hour and q half
later.
How fortunately the announce
ment was timed Is a matter of con-
siderable speculation. The Italians
observed the armistice to the extent
of dropping their arms, but not to
the extent Of fighting the Germans.
Many Allied soldiers became over
confident before the fierce battle
they were to have with the Ger
mans.
The Badoglio regime contends the
announcement came too soon, and
asserts that another week for re-

things different. But it is doubtful
If a weeks delay would have done
