 Bern, Aug. 12.-(UP)-Italy has halted all deliveries of food and war material to Germany and has put its industry back on an eight hour day as the first step toward a "peacetime arrangement" an 1tal- ian frontier dispatch said today.
 The moves came on the eve of conference between President Roose- welt and Prime Minister Churchill at which the removal of Italy from the war is expected to be main topic and coincided with reported new peace efforts by the Vatican.
 Shipments to Germany were sus- pended temporarily" by the Italian commerce ministry, frontier reports said. It also was rumored that nu- merous freight trains from Ger many loaded with raw materials for Italy have been sidetracked at Chiasso on the Italian-Swiss from tier by last-minute orders from Ber- lin.
 Gen. Carlo Tavagasta, war pro- duction minister, reduced the Ital- ian work week from 12 hours seven days a week to eight hours six days week.
 Though reduced flow of coal and raw materials from Germany was believed partly responsible for the order, Tavagasta in statement de- scribed the action as "the first step toward a gradual changeover in Italian economy from war to a peacetime arrangement

 Soviet Foreign Commissar Vaiche- slav M. Molotov was present and it was presumed that the Quebec con- ference of President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill was dis cussed. Russia will not be repre- sented at the conference, though MT. Roosevelt emphasized that she would be welcome.
 The London Daily Express said Stalin was invited to attend the conference. but declined, presum- ably because of his pre- occupation with the Soviet summer offensive and because of the possibility that Pacific strategy will be discussed. Russia maintains relations with Japan.

Investigate Bows Death

States Attorney William B. Fitz- gerald has launched full scale in- vestigation as the result of recent incidents at the Southbury train ing school for mental defectives, County Detective Thomas L. Laden revealed this morning. Both Detec- tive Laden and Atty. Fitzgerald de- clined to comment on their inveSti- gation except to say that both the death of Bonavenutre Ristoli, ten- year-old inmate of the institution, and charges of mistreatment of an- other inmate, Charles Smith, 16, will be considered. No arrests have been made so far.
 Southbury Prosecutor Russell H. Warner, who began an investigation of the institution on receipt of a complaint from Smiths father, said this morning that his office is now awaiting official instructions from the states attorneys office. Prose- cutor Warner refused to comment on his investigation, but admitted the possibility of new developments in the near future.
 Coronor Miles F. McNiff, Jr., said his inquest into the death of Ristoli will continue today and tomorrow, either here or in Southbury. He said that no one had been ordered held so far. Preliminary investiga- tion by the coroner has revealed that Ristoli died of hurts received when an mate-attendant who was bathing the boy allegedly injected stream of water into the boys body.

London, Aug. 12 - U.P) - The second anniversary of the Atlantic Charter focused attention today on how charters which pledge their signatorieS not to seek territorial aggrandisement may be qualified by by considerations of national de- tional defense and security of the United Nations.
 Security and defense considera- tions affecting the British Empire are bound to come to the fore in the Mediterranean and the United States and Brazil already are on record against ever again allowing the West African coast and Dakar of becoming "a blockade or invasion threat against the two Americas
 It is noted that if the United States is going to cite security con- alterations in connection with Da- kar and West Africa, which are separated from the western hemi- sphere by the breadth of an ocean, and if Britain is going to cite se- curity considerations ill connection with the Mediterranean, there are little logical grounds on which the Allies could protest the security case Russia is bound to put up with regard to the Baltic states, Karelia, East Poland and Bessarabia.

 American Corps Headquarters In Sicily. Aug. 11-(DelayeO-(UP)- American troops who landed eight and half miles behind the German lines on tie north coast of Sicily fought desperately tonight against tremendous odds to close a four mile gap between them and the main seventh army.
 The amphibious force landed cas- fly. During the day it beat off in bitter fighting two counter attacks launched against the bridgehead
 To the west, the main American forces pushing along the coast were slashing at the middle of the large pocket formed by the swing around the end of the Axis line.
 SiX-inch naval guns poured shells into the Germans from the sea, and dive bombers blasted and gunned them throughout the day.
 But at 6 p. m. the Germans opened . double counter-attack against the landing force from the west and east. AS this dispatch is being writ ten. the Americans are reported locked in bitter, close-in struggle.
 It was the identical force which hit the Axis flank at dawn Sunday east of San Agata that crashed in to establish a beachhead in the ear- ly hours of Wednesday.
 This force hit the beaches on the run, cut the main road, took "con- siderable" prisoners, then headed into the mountains where the Ger mans clung tenaciously to dominant bluffs overlooking the sea.
 When radio contact between the troops and the main attacking forc- es had been established, 1t was learned that the landing force had surprised the enemy, taken prison CTS and established the beachhead.
 Meanwhile part of the main at- tacking army from the west pushed along the coastal road. while a col lnln on the right flank of the main road cut through the mountains, Jumped astride the north-south road

 Washington, Aug. 12-CUP)- Administrator Prentiss M. Brown has received new figures from the petroleum administration on the amount of gasoline available for ci- vilian use in the remainder of this year, and now is in a position to make an early and final decision on lifting of the east coast pleasure driving ban, it was learned today.
 The new figures were understood to show larger amounts of gasoline available for the Atlantic seaboard, but less for the midwest and south west. The decision on pleasure driv- ing is expected to be announced before the end of the week.
 War Mobilization Director James F. Byrnes and his advisers have been making a comprehensive study of the gasoline situation, and any revision in gasoline regulations un- doubtedly will reflect their findings. It was understood that at least part of the findings will not be made public for reasons of military se- curity.
 A petroleum administration off, cial said the size of eastern supplies still do not warrant immediate lift ing of the ban on non-essential driving. But Brown is determined to ease the restrictions soon.
 T don't think there could be any change of that kind (the lifting of the ban) at the present time," the
