We are concerned not with the
House of Savoy, but with this par
ticular King. He was ultimately
responsible for the acceptance of
Fascism, for the Ethiopian War,
for the intervention in Spain, for
stabbing France and Britain in the
bac, and for the criminal assault
On Albania, Greece and Yugo-

IS GERMAN CLAIM
Say Armed Party Snatched
Mussolini From Italian
Guards
STORY CONCEDED
Says Rescue Daring Ae-

STORY CONCEDED

LONDON, Sept. 12.-(F-
Adolf Hitler's headquarters
declared tonight that a dar-
ing raid by German para
chute troopers, security SER
vice agents and armed men,
bers of the SIS, had freed Be-
nito Mussolini from Italian
guards and that the EXPIRE
mier of Italy was "now at
liberty"
A communique broadcast
from Berlin and recorded by
the Associated Press told of
the delivery, but gave no in
dication of where Mussolini
now was or where he had
been found.
Carrier Out
German parachute troops and
men of the Security Service and Of
the armed SIS carried out an oper-
alton Sunday for the liberation of
the Duce, who has been held pris-
oner by the traitor clique" it said.
1.-THE Duce Is now at liberty. His
surrender to the Anglo-Americans,
agreed upon by the Badoglio gov
eminent, thus has been frustrat
ed"
The announcement came two
days after Adolf Hitler, in his
first speech in six months, high
ly praised Mussolini and condemn
ed as traitors the government Of
Marshal Pietro Badoglio which
had signed an armistice with the
Allies without notifying Germany.
Mussolini has been reported
held in many parts of Italy and
a Reuters dispatch Thursday said
he had been taken to North Africa
for delivery to the Allies. None
of these advices and rumors was
OII1c1ally confirmed:
The Germans have recently an
nounced the formation Of kind
of government-in-exi in Germany
called the National Fascist gov
eminent" and headed by Roberto
Farinacci, a former Fascist par
ty secretary who escaped to Ger
many after the fall of Mussolini
July %.
Mussolini is among the war
criminals which allied leaders have
promised will be brought to trial.
Terms of the armistice, made
public by Allied headquarters last
night, made no mention OF hand
ing over Mussolini. 1t was said
that political terms would be pre-
scented to the Italians later.
Germany, meanwhile was rails
ing cries of Italian treachery as
the terms of the Armistice were
announced and the bulk Of the
italian fleet slipped from Ger
man hands.
In London it was generally con-
coded that the seizure Of Musso-
lini was daring, accomplish
ment without historic parallel.
After broadcast of the commu-
nique the German radio fell silent,
whoch occasioned some wonder
here as it was expected Nazi
propa ganda would make immedi-
ate use of the coup.
The German radio said last week
that Mussolini had been kidnapped
by Italian carabinieri at the Ital-
ian Royal palace after his final
talk with the king in July and

TIERS IN NORTH AFRICA,
Sept. 12.-(P) - Swift-strik-
ing British troops have seized
the strategic Adriatic port of
Brindisi and also captured
Catanzaro to over-run all the
italian toe, while the Allied
Fifth Army has punched
deeper into the Naples-Saler-
no area in grim, bloody battle
against Nazi armor, it was
announced today.
Fall of Brindisi on the east
coast in a quick, 40-mile over
land smash from laramie
sealed off the Italian heel
and apparently put at least
10 vital airfields in Allied
hands. Virtually the whole
"boot" was in Allied control.
Bari Occupied
fRadio France at Algiers said
Bari IS miles above Brlndlsl also
had been occupied. These two
norts were Italian springboards
for the 1899 invasion Of Albania:

and cautious officers indicated the

firmly established.
Fifth Army reinforcements are
coming ashore "ahead OF sched-

British units also were tanning
out north and northeast OF Taran-
to. meeting elements of the Ger

Transformations of the Eighth
Army surged steadily northWard
on the toe along 3o-mile front
to seize both the communications
center of Catanzaro, 30 miles
northeast of Reggie Calabria, and
Lamezia. At last reports they held
line from point Immediately
north of Lamezia on the west coast
al highway due east passing just
north of Catanzaro to the east
coast road.
Abundant evidence indicated the
Germans had abandoned hope OF
holding any ground in extreme
southern Italy, and were rushing
troops in that sector northWard
and westward to the all-important
battle of he Salerno-Naples area.
Allied airmen reported heavy
troop and vehicle movements from
Corleto, coming presumably from
the laramie area where the Nazls
had armored units, and northWard
from other points.
(The Morocco radio said the
Eighth army was chalklng up
daily gains of "a miles.)
Mines and demolitions were the
only real hindrance to the Brit

Evidently stalking everything on
preventing expansion of the Fifth

large forces of bombers and fight

Federa alton Council and the district

that they desire passage OF the
Federal Aid bill. The Council,

nassed a resolution favoring this
bill and the same resolution has
been adopted in II of the district

There is no question of its adop-

meetings, to be held this week.
Senators Bailey and Reynolds have
been informed of the action OF

ings, and urged to vote for the bill
Mrs, MacClelland points out that
for years the question of Federal
Aid to public schools has been
discussed in club and federation
meetings, with clubwomen gener-
ally favoring the idea. Now that
the only objection ever raised to
the idea-fear of federal control
of the schools-has been ellmlnat-
ed by the provision in the bill that
funds shall be spent only under
state control, clubwomen are unan-
imously supporting the measure.
