Elm manuel In Naples

Naples, Nov. 3-(UP)-King Vic- tor Emmanuel arrived unexpectedly today for visit to Naples which was described officially as strictly private but which appeared to carry potential political significance.
 The appearance of the king in Naples followed closely the visit oi Marshal Pietro Badoglio, during which he reported that he was in- forming Victor Emmanuel of q growing sentiment for the abdica- tion of both the king and Crown Prince Humberto.
 Some observers profesSed to see the Italian political situation de- veloping along lines parallel to France, with Count Carlo Sforza playing the role of Gen. Charles De Gaulle and Badoglio in that of Gen. Henri Giraud.
 Parallel
 A parallel also was seen between Victor Emmanuel, who reigned un- der Q Fascist government, and Mar shal Henri Philippe Petain, inextri- cably entangled with the Vichyites.
 Looking still further, there was a resemblance between Gen. Georges CatrouX and Benedetto Croce, the latter with his scholarly viewpoint tending to act as modifying in fluence on Sforza the same as Ca- troux exercises restrain upon De Gaulle.
 The parallel ran particularly close with regard to the question Of purges. Tn Italy 1t is a question of busting the Fascists who still finger in power from top to bottom In the whole Cicil Service structure. In North Africa 1t has been a matter of eliminating alleged Vichyites,
 Both Badoglio and Giraud were anxious to put off drastic purges for the sake of concentrating the war effort. Thereafter, both will want to resign their posts and retire, 1t Is believed.
 The busting of the Fascists from kep positions will prove more diff cult than eliminating the Vichyites In North Africa. Almost everyone in Civil Service in Italy had to be at least outwardly Fascist.
 Sforza Is all for removing them wholesale, including v!cter Em- manuel ana humperto.

The War On Many Fronts

Conveying Allied land and air blows drove German armies ill headlong retreat across the Steppes of Southern Russia today, smashed the western anchor of the enemy's line on the road to Rome and left three great German war centers in smoldering ruins.
 Sabre-swinging Cossacks chopped down thousands of fleeing Germans in a swift advance on the Dnieper Estuary that sent the worst rout of Q German army since 1916 into its final stage.
 The Russian horsemen plunged forward 25 miles to within l2 miles of Kherson, setting the stage for a drive across the river that would seal the fate of possibly hundreds of thousands of Nazi troops in the Dnieper Bend to the north.
 Hundreds Drowned
 Soviet warL:anes bombed and machine -gunned the river crossings drowning hundreds of Germans trying to reach the north bank and shooting down IS enemy planes that attempted to interfere with the slaughter. All along the 27-mile front from the edge of the Black Sea German troops were surrender ing in droves and all semblance oi an organized retreat had vanished
 The German position was imper- lied further by Russian break
  Rog, where a desperate Nazi rear guard has been fighting to hold open a 55-mile escape corridor ir the Dnieper Bend below them.
 Tn Italy, the Allied Fifth Army advanced five to eight miles and seized the entire Massico Ridge driving the Germans in full re- treat to new mountain positions fur ther north. The advance put the Anglo American troops astride the main road to Rome, 86 airline miles away.
 Sth Army
 On the Adriatic flank of the line the Eighth Army drove forward as much as four miles in the face of stubborn enemy tank attacks and reached 8 point six miles from Isernia, the central pivot of the German defense.
 Allied warplanes hammered at the enemy's rear lines in Italy anC ranged far to the east to bomb Ger man airfields in Greece and the Jugoslav port of Zara.
 American and British air fleets carried the air war back to Ger many after a two-week lull imposed by bad weather, and dropped tons of explosives and fire bombs on the western reich in a series of devas- tating day and night raids.
 The RATS giant night bornbers hit Dusseldorf and Cologne in great strength, setting huge fires in the big Rhineland industrial centers Mosquito raiders swarmed over the Ruhr and Rhineland and intruder planes harried Nazi airfields in the occupied countries.
 Big RAF Assault
 The big RAr assault followed a daylight American raid on the Ger man naval base at Wilhelmshaven in which record fleet of upward of 1000 bombers and fighters dropped an estimated 1900 tons of bombs.
 Five American heavy bombers and l9 British night raiders were lost in the offensive, but the Amer jeans accounted for 34 enemy fight CTS and at least five more were downed by the RAF.
 Fierce Guerrilla fighting con- tinued in Jugoslavia, where partisan forces claimed to have inflicted widespread damage on the German. held railroad lines.
