o. w. l. Disguised

The local Office of War Informa-
ton knew about Hawley's remarks
before local Negro leaders called
them. Officials appeared disguised
that such remarks should have been
made by a war plant operator and
of all places at a patriotic war
bond rally.
o. w. l. spends considerable
money and brains trying to build
up the morale of the Negro popu-
lation and such incidents destroy

Hawley's Record On Negro Bad
The Northern Pump Co. with an
approximate payroll of $500 work.
ers has only three Negroes en-
ployed in the entire plant. Local
Negroes have been resentful of the
evident discrimination at this
plant.
Thursday nights incident only
heightened this resentment against
a man whose firm, built by tax
payers money for war efforts, has
almost completely failed as a war
plant operator to give Negroes an
opportunity to work at the plant
in violation of his contract and
presidential order 1902.

Disservice
Rev. C. T. R. Nelson, pastor of

"Mr. Hawley as president of
large war production plant has
done a great disservice to the
morale of many people in using a
term which is resented by many
American citizens, white as well as
Negro. Mr.. Hawley's use of the
term during February, the month
of Lincoln, and when so many race
relations and brotherhood pro-
grams are being held is most I'M
timely"

The Berlin radio today broadcast
its version of Benito Mussolini's
downfall that Mussolini was
dragged by brute force" from the
Royal Palace, strapped to 4
stretcher and spirited away in an
ambulance.
His removal on July Is, the broad
cast said, was the result OF a Sc
cretly planned coup d'etat between
King Victor Emmanuel and Marshal
Badoglio.
"It seems to be certain" the
broadcast said, that II Duce was
taken to Ponza Island. In the Gulf
of Gaeta about rs miles southeast
of Rome
The radio gave this version Of
Mussolini's abduction:
II Duce had requested an inter-
view with the King to request full
powers to halt sabotage, the cow
ardly desertion" of generals and
other officers of the air force in
Sicily, the ''unsocial attitude" of
superior Italian officers and corrup-
ton in the army.
He was taken completely by sur
prise when, at the close OF the inter-
view, the King said:
Il must inform you that your sue
cessor has already been desig
mated and. In fact, entered Office.
This man is Marshal Badoglio. Put
yourself at his disposal"
Mussolini answered that he felt
strong enough, in order to save the
Italian people, to oppose the crown
and If necessary, even the army.

From Palace by Brute Force

AS he left. he noted that his car
and special guard had been removed
from the palace entrance and or
dered servants to bring it.
Instead, a colonel approached him
and said:
Your excellency, I have received
an order to arrest you. Please en-
ter this car"
The German broadcast said that
the Fascist militia had been crippled
by the traitors" and that Mussolini
was powerless to resist.
1t termed the abduction criminal
and disgraceful" and said it was
brought about by "a clique of
traitors by which disgrace and
dishonor were brought upon the

later and proved, invaluable as

always is to set up "harbor en-
trance control post" which serves
as a nerve center for the port. 1t

naval craft and usually is accom-
panied by medical unit.
In Sicily little of value in the way
of naval craft was captured. Most
had been taken to Italy. Indications
at most ports were that the enemy
had fed in hurry. A curious in
cident at Palermo was that the
only naval personnel captured were
few enlisted men and the port
commandant. Everybody else had
fed. leaving "the old man" without
any means of transportation. The
suspicion, is that this was not with
out design, since he seemed 4 stern

Once in the port they are to take

Officers and men of these new

Minister John Curtin of Australia.
In a. statement broadcast by the

that Italy's surrender points the
way to victory in Europe and fore
shadows the inevitable defeat of
Japan"
The broadcast, beamed to North
America and reported by the Once

Curtin as saying Italy could rely
on the Allies to deal justly with her
people and their problems.
Nazi Germany faces uncondi-
tional surrender. which will be de-
layed only to the extent. that the
people Of Germany continue to suf-
fer the overlordship of the Nazi
party" Mr.. Curtin added.
These swiftly moving events
presage the defeat of Japan. Our
gallant forces in the Pacific have
taken the war to that country and
slowly the attrition is taking It's toll
of Japanese strength. This, COM
bined with the ultimate, losses of
both Axis partners, makes the end

A strong indication that the Rus

came from the Berlin radio today.
1t reported that map published in
Adolph Hitler's Voelkischer Beo-
bachter, for the first time since the
smashing Soviet winter offensive
showed Novgorod exactly in front of
his line.
The broadcast, recorded by the

was in Russian hands, since the line
ran along the west bank of that lake
about 100 miles south of Leningrad
on the front where Marshal Semeon
Timoshenko scored great tactical
gains by the winter campaign.
Near the southern anchor OF the
front, the Germans said the front
touches the town of Taganrog," AZ
miles west of Rostov on the Sea of
Azov. This indicated a farther
westward advance than the Rus
slams had claimed.
