Vatican Stands Firm,
Refusing 10 Give Up
Refugees 10 Nazis
Ey tbs Associated Pres

BY the Associated Press.
BERN. Switzerland. Oct. 2l.-A
border dispa tch to the newspaper La
Suisse of Geneva said today the
Vatican refused to turn over to the
Germans anti-Fascist and anti-Nazi
refugees who sought sanctuary with
in its walls, and Germany bowed to
this decision"
Included in the refugees, the dis
patch from ChiaSso said, were lead
erS of the former Fascist regime who
became prominent -Fascists
after Benito Mussolini's fall. Sew
eral members of the Grand Council
that voted Mussolini's custer are be-
lieved to have entered the Vatican.
Still Recognizes Badoglio.
La Suisse's account continued:
Although the Lateran pact of 1929
provides that political refugees may
not be given sanctuary in Vatican
City the situation has been altered,
inasmuch as the Holy See still rec
ognizes the government of Premier
Pietro Badoglio and the German oc-
cupation of Rome in effect abrogates
the treaty.
Relations between the Vatican and
Germany improved after Luigi
Cardinal Maglione, papal secretary
of state, received assurances that
the Reich had no intention Ito pro-
tect Vatican territory as it had
Bohemia and Moravia."
Resistance Increasing.
There has been much talk of the
Pope's efforts to have Rome recog-
nlzed as a holy city by the bellig-
erents in order to save it from the
ravages of war There has been
great reserve in Vatican circles re-
garding this proposal, but the posi-
bility of such an accord is NOT ex-
cluded
Meanwhile, in Northern Italy
where resistance to the Nazis is in
creaSlng constantly. the arrest of
Badoglio supporters including many
clergy was reported continuing. An
unconfirmed report said that per-
sons under Nazi surveillance in
cluded Cardinal Schuster. Arch
bishop of Milan, who threatened to

May Have to Close.
Mrs. Richards said that unless
she is granted relief by the Dis
trict OPA director she will be forced
to close her place until she has ac-
cumulated enough points to cover
the overdraft of more than $4,000
meat points. Her monthly allot-
ment, she said, was little over 49,
600 points.
Before her penalty Mrs. Richards
charged that Ration Board No. so
had disregarded her pleas and that
she was unable to operate her ex-
pandlng business on the allotment
that had been granted her.

ters and more letters and nothing
happens. 1 have spent hours at the
board but have obtained no relief
1t is impossible for me to operate
more than two days a week on the
allotment granted me. I am having
the same trouble with my oil ra-
tions. The Board Of Health de-
manos that l keep my hot water up
to l80 degrees, but the ration board
won't allow me enough oil to meet
these standards"
Calls Penalty Necessary.
MI. Snlder conceded that the OPA
regulation which compelled him to
issue the order was cruel but he
said the penalty was necessary to
impress the seriousness of rationine
on the public
In three other cases involving food
markets, Mr.. Snider ordered five
Gay suspensions beginning Novem-
Der and prohibited the proprietors
from obtaining more rationed FOODS
until their ration banking accounts
are in balance.
The dealers penalized were Arthur
w. Metric proprietor of Shapiros S
Market, 4l30 Georgia avenue NV
whose meat account on October
10 was oVerdrawn l0.337 points.
Leonard Parcover, proprietor of
Lees Market, 523 M street NE. who
admitted his sugar account was
oVerdraWn 2128 pounds and his
processed food account 25,O45 points,
and Henry Milstein, proprietor of
the Little Giant Market. at 300 Mas
sachusetts avenue NV, charged
with being 10000 points overdrawn
IN his meat account.
MI. Metrios suspension covers
purchases and sales of meats and
Mr.. Parcovers sugar and processed
foods.
Too Tired to Count Points.
MI. Metric said he allowed his
account to fall in arrears because he
and his wife were so tired after A
dav's work in the store they did not
nave the energy to face the lob of
counting points and keeping records.
Mr.. Parcover explained he was un-
aware he was overdrawn and that
he had been trying to stock his store
SO he could turn it over to some one
else when he is drafted in the near
future
Charges of rationing violations
against four other ablishments
were postponed until October %
Those named in OPA complaints
are: Stanley Horner. Fourth street
and Florida avenue NE, accused of
gasoline rationing Violations Dar-
gan Cafe, 3647 Minnesota avenue
NE; Max Rabinovitz, 1910 Seventh

drawing their ration banking ac-
counts.

donia, on the spur of the boot, a
fairly important seaport.
After being grounded several days
by bad weather, Allied air forces
yesterday attacked rail and highway
bridges heavily within a 25-mile
radius east, northeast and north of
Naples.
The approaches to the bottleneck
bridge at Castelvenere on the
aples-Benevento road were ripped
up in one of these forays.
The Middle East Air Force an
nounced new bombings of enemy
airdromes in Greece and Rhodes,
and said the Germans struck at

Benevento, Formia, Piano and Amo-
rosi-all along escape routs which
German forces must use in with
drawing before the advancing Al
lied forces.
The communique said road juno
tions were hit around Cancello, 13
miles northeast of Naples, near
Amorosi, 27 miles to the northeast,
and around Piano.
Sweep Over Benevento Area.
Fighters and fighter -bombers also
swept over the Benevento battle
area, 80 miles northeast of Naples
toward the center of the peninsula,
attacking targets that presented
themselves. Fighter bombers shot
up bridge near Apollinare.
A night flight to Formia, along
the coast 439 miles northwest of
Naples, was the deepest penetration
into enemy territory.
One Allied aircraft failed to re-
turn during the day. No German
planes we're encountered, the COM
munique said.
The bulletin made belated an
nouncement Of the destruction of
three additional enemy aircraft in

at the Capodichino airfield. miles
north of Naples, even before their
own serviceable planes were able to

Lodge Says Seryicemen
Want Unified War Office
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Lodge, Republican,. OF
Massachusetts,, back today from a
world tour of fighting fronts, told
the Senate he had found "a sur
prising amount of sentiment" among
Army and Navy commanders in the
field for a single department Of
war. .t
Senator Lodge critized military
censorship, called for greater British
contributions of petroleum to the
fighting forces and urged that
some means be found to furlough
war-weary American troops home.
Senator Lodge said that wherever
he went, he and the other Senators
who made the trip found "a demand
for definite policy of relieving men
overseas after they have served a
certain length of time" He said
that shipping problems and the
danger of submarine attack thus
far had made it impractical to send
men home, but expressed the hope
that a furloughing policy could be
worked out. .sSdfa

to reach Manfredonia on the coast

The weather turned from rain and
wind to warm as Gen. Sherman
tanks and other tanks of the 5th
Army rumbled past Pompeii to the
outskirts Of Tore Annunziata, beat
ing down rear-guard opposition and
pressing on despite extensive mine
fields and demolitions which had
ruined roads and bridges.
The bulk of the German defenders
apparently had fled into Naples and
then on to the north. according to
an air force announcement which
told of bombarding Nazi truck COL
umns to the northeast of the city.
The fierce rush of Gen. Clark S
troops through the mountain ring
had cost dearly, however.
British Casualties Listed.
A military spokesman announced
that British divisions of the 5th
Army suffered 5,211 casualties from
September 8, the beginning of the
battle OF Salerno, to September 20.
This was a high proportion of cas-
ualties considering the number of
troops involved.
(The War Department an
nounced that American casualties
at Salerno, up to September IS,
totaled 3,497)
The capture of Tore Annunziata
would place the 5th Army nine miles
from Naples city limits along the
nat plain bordering the gulf.
Even if the Germans planned a
temporary stand on the western
slop of Vesuvius. it was probable
that the entry into Naples would be
within day or two.
In capturing Mercato San Sever
ino the Allies continued to develop
their flanking movement against the
city. The town is eight miles north
east OF Nocera, capture of which was
announced yesterday, and about II
miles southwest of Avellino, the
communications center east of
Naples.
May Be Main Allied Base
The capture of Naples will COM
plement perfectly the earlier seiz-
ure of the Foggia air center.
Naples great harbor is big enough
to accommodate tremendous mar
shall1ng of force and may become
the main fleet, supply and ground
force base for the Italian cam
paign, as Foggia may become the
main air base for drive up the
peninsula or into the Balkans.
Meanwhile, the slow pressure
against the Germans promised to
give to the Allies soon the sub
stantial island base of Corsica.
From there and from Sardinia they
can threaten the seaward flank of
the enemy.
Gen. Montgomery thrust north

!! However, Of equal Importance to
