Russia, or is on the way there.
where, Stettinius said, il is eX-
pected to produce 100000 mill
tary truck tires annually.
Lend-lease's excuse for taking
over the Ford plant is that it was
not in production at the time il
was acquired.
Stettinius explained that a
machine shop listed will be used

tary equipment overseas.

Hoover
Challenges
Critics

CHICAGO, March 2 QNS).-
Former President Herbert Hoover,
challenging the assertion that, if
the nation had followed his advice
in 1917. the Allies would have lost
World War /, maintained today
that food production was the No,
L domestic problem.
Stopping in Chicago on his way
from Washington 10 California,
Hoover. who was food admins
traitor in the last war, conferred
with food production experts and
replied to Vice President Wallace
and Senator Green CD Of Rhode
Island, who criticized his pro-
posals for assuring an adequate
production Of foodStuffS.
Hoover described the farm labor
shortage and the lack of fertilizer
and agricultural machinery as a
process Of degeneration in agricul-
Iture which would lose the war on
the home front if continued.

AL ED HEADQUARTERS,
SOUTHWEST PACIFIC, Sept. 49,.
-(UP)-An Allied spokesman said
tonight that announcement of the
capture of Salamaua, New Guinea,
could be expected in "a matter of
hours" as American and Australian
troops advanced swiftly from the
south and west after taking the
Japanese airdrome a mile from the
town.
Gen. Sir Thomas Blamey, Com
mander of Allied ground troops in
New Guinea, explained at a press
conference that Australians who
crossed the Francisco river and seiz-
ed the air field were pushing toward
the Salamaua Isthmus from the
south, while other Allied forces
which had been holding positions
at Kila were pressing from the west
1t was revealed that the Japanese
had suffered l80 casualties in the
final phase of the battle for Sal
amaua, which had put the Allied
armies in position for quick drive
to capture a 50-mile segment of the
coastline.
I8-MONTHS CAMPAIGN
The Salamaua campaign, one of
the grimmest of the south Pacific
war, began 18 months ago when a
handful of Australian commandoS
were flown to the old gold-mining
town of Wau. They held the enemy
along the coastal strip and blocked
the passage to the south coast.
For many months the Australians
bluffed, outmaneuvered, and out
fought the numerically superior
Japanese force and turned back re-
peated attempts to penetrate in
land. At times, the Australians

F,ascis+s Tried To
Back Out Of
Armis+ice Terms

LONDON, Sept. 13. (UP)
The Italians tried to back
out of their armistice terms
at the last minute and drew
only the stiffest kind of
threat but no sympathy from Gen
Dwight D. Eisenhower, it was re-
vealed today.
The incident marked the final
minutes of the dramatic circum-
stances under which the Italian
armistice and unconditional sur
render were negotiated. Some of
the secrecy that covered the nego-
tiations has been lifted with Off
cial statements revealing the nip
and-tuck nature of the final hours
before the armistice.
These statements said that the
Italians at the final moment ad-
vised the Allies of their uncertainty
whether the terms of the armistice
could be carried out as agreed. The
timetable of events reveals what
was behind that.
ARMISTICE CONCLUDED
The armistice actually mad been
concluded on Sept. 3. The British
Eighth army simultaneously land
ed on the Calabrian peninsula and
to all outward appearances the
Allied attack against Italy was
taking a normal course.
The Italians ostensibly-but not
actually-were opposing the Eighth
army advance. Behind the scenes
the Allies moved swiftly to take
full advantage of the armistice.
Preparations for the fifth army
landing in the Naples area were in
full swing.
Eisenhower had decided to an
nounce the armistice about eight
hours before the scheduled landing
of the fifth army. The date fixed
by Allied headquarters was Sept.
