Deputy Federal Coal Administra-

Hitler had met in a northern Italian
town Monday while American planes
were dropping bombs on Rome.
The terseneSs of the communique
announcing the meeting and the
absence of the "friendliness" and
cordially" phrases that marked an
nouncements of previous meetings
was interpreted here to mean that
there had been a showdown between
the two Axis leaders on the increas-
ing seriousness of the Italian situa-
ton.
Hitler Muss0lini Conference
The London Daily Telegraph sug-
gested that Hitler may have called
the meeting to tell Mussolini that he
must fight on or Germany would
take over the country, though it
added, Mussolini himself may have
asked the conference to warn that
if German troops and material were
not sent to Italy Immediately, the
not sent to Italy immediatelyetaon
country would drop out of war.
Bern reports said that thousands
of Romans were evacuating the Ital-
ian capital out of fear Of new Allied
raids.
Radio Rome reported Mussolini
visited the Carabinieri (police) bar
racks at Rome yesterday to pay
tribute to two high-ranking men,

Allies Gain Ground
Canadian troops in the central
sector, between the Americans and
the British, also gained new ground
despite many demolitions and
strong enemy action" the communi-
que said.
With the Axis driven from its
Sicilian air bases, Allied bombers
turned their attention to airdromes
on the Italian mainland and on
Sardinia. Formation after forma-
ton swept across the Mediterranean
by night and day in campaign
to paralyze Axis air power in the
southern theater.
Many bombs burst in the target
areas and numerous fires were start
ed" the communique said.
During a raid on Decimomannu
airfeld on Sardinia, a small num-
Der of enemy aircraft was encount-
cred and five of them were shot
down.
Medium bombers also attacked
the focal enemy communications
point of RandazZo north of Mount
Etna Monday night while fighters
carried out strafing attacks on the
enemy rear, shooting down one
enemy plane.

ing there.
The same is true Of southern
France, also a logical spot for Allied
attacks. Combined with the obvi-
Gus and almost official reluctance
of Bulgaria, Rumania and Hungary
to provide troops to face possible
Anglo American action, the German
army is facing a most serious man
power crisis.
Reserves Unknown
The extent of Germany's strategic
pool of reserves troops held in
central areas for quick transport to
threatened points is not known
but it is speculated that it probably
has been reduced close to the van
ishing point by expanding needs.
The Germans are in the process
of losing two more divisions of their
own troops in Sicily. 1t is expected
that they will be forced to contribute
certain number of divisions to
Italy even though they well may
realize that they face hopeless
task.
Therefore, the situation may be
rapidly approaching when the Allies
will have created a real second
front condition by forcing the Ger
mans to divert additional men from
the east front. The extent to which
the Russians are probing every part
of the front emphasizes the Red
Army's alertness for any such in
dications.

Mooney accused the italian Fas-
