Trials for Treason
For Former Fascists
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BERN. Switzerland. Oct. 2.-The
new Mussolini- headed puppet Fas-
cist government for Italy decreed
today the establishment of special
tribunals to try Tor high treason
party members whom Mussolini has
charged with passing to the enemy
at the moment of trial.
These include Count Galeazzo
Ciano, Mussolini's son-in law.
A dispatch to the newspaper La
Suisse of Geneva from the Italian
frontier at Chiasso said that among
thousands liable to be brought be-
fore extraordinary tribunals would
most certainly be all members of the
Fascist Grand Council who voted
against Mussolini at the historic
meeting on the night Of July Is, at
which the Duce was forced from
power.
Among these leading personalities
OF Italy are such men as Count
CeSare Maria de Vecchi di Val Cis-
mon, a former governor of Rome
and OF Smoliland; Luigi Federzoni,
president of the Royal Academy;
Gieuseppe Bastianini, former sec
retary of the Grand Council; Baron
Giacomo Acerbo, president of the
International Institute of Agricul-
ture, and Dino Alfieri, former propa-
ganda minister and ambassador to
the Holy See.
All these and many others who
were imprisoned or placed under
house arrest by the Badoglio gov
ernment have now been transferred
to prisons in Northern Italy, the
Chiasso dispatch said.
Only two members of the Grand
Council who voted for the Mussolini
custer will be tried in Absentia

country, and Count Ciano. who, the

Last Month Regarded
As Most Successful
OF War for Allies
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Al
giers, Oct. 2.-The 80 days which
have elapsed since the invasion of
Europe from the south could we'll
be regarded by Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower and his armies as easily
the most successful for the Allies
in the whole war. In that brief
span his command has achieved
these results:
Italy has been knocked out of
the war and her feet and much of
her merchant shipping added to the
Allied naval resources.
2-The Germans have been driven
from roughly one-f1fth Of Italy and
the great port of Naples is secured
as a base of supplies for future
operations up the peninsula.
3-The whole German position in
the Balkans has been outf1anked by
the Allied conquest of Southern
Italy and the Adriatic suddenly has
been changed from an Axis lake.
4-The Nazis have been driven
from Sardinia and are in full fight
from Corsica, where embattled
French troops have begun the re-
conquest of their own country.
5-Bases have been secured from
which heavy American and British
bombers can blast not only Ger
many but Hitler's Balkan satellites
at comparatively short range in
weather which month after month
Is far superior for flying to those
prevailing in Britain.
6-Other Allied bases for short
range operations against the Bal
kans already have been seized in
the Aegean Sea.
THE Germans have been COM
! PEELED to shoulder a portion OF the
/ job of policing the turbulent Bal
kans which formerly was done by
the Italians and the police task has
been made many times more diff
cH especially after patriot bands
obtained weapons laid down by the
! Italians.
8-Further strain has been placed
/ on the German military machine by
the outbreak of fighting in many
Northern Italian cities, while Nazi
transportation problems have null
tiplied by the necessity of taking
over Italian railroads and, operat-
ing them with skilled workers
brought from Germany.

at least 60 German bombers partic-

Such a heavy attack is the best
/ indication of the importance at
tached to the drive against the
Islands which might be developed
into bases for campaign into the
Greek mainland.
The Allied occupation forces are
believed to be well dug in, however,
, and there are indications that they
already are spreading their sphere
of activity.
Air activity over the Aegean has
grown tremendously.
A British Spitfire crashed on
Turkish soil Thursday, while three
others came down earlier in the

of the latter crew members were
wounded
In addition a troop transport is

Allied troops apparently have been
brought into the islands almost en-
tlrely by air, as the Germans still
control an island screen based on
Crete and Rhodes at the entrance
to the Aegean. This control makes
the use of water transports almost
impossible.
The Allied forces being used are
not believed to be large, but they
are receiving cooperation from
Italians in the area and from Greek

i. ). Communications
Meet War Crisis,
owl Report Says
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Despite critical shortages of man
power and materials, the Office of
War Information reported yester-
day. the Nations communications
facilities have been expanded ir
wartime to handle millions more
words daily with a minimum of dis
ruptlon in civilian communication
Use of radio communications OF
all sorts has rocketed while cable,
telephone and telegraph facilities
are overloaded and billions of pieces
OF mail are handled annually.
Some findings by the agency in a
survey OF how the war has affected
communications:
The Army Signal Corps alone is
now twice the size of the entire
peacetime Army.
Total radio production-all for the
armed services-is now at $3.50 OOO,-
600 a month. compared with s30.-
100000 a month a year ago, the
report said.
Heavy Mail Handled.
Military mail is moved by the
Army at the rate of 10000. 900 pieces
a week, and the Navy transports
5000 600 pieces a week for its per-
sonnel, the Marine Corps, the Coast
Guard, the merchant marine and
the armed guard.
International telegraph trafic,
mostly related to the war. is han
died IS per cent by cable and 35
per cent by radio.
Radio telephone service to Mos
COW has been arranged. and radio
telephone and radio telegraph serv-
ice to Central and South America
have expanded. Additional service
is planned for some Caribbean
points.
Long distance telephone traffic,
with calls often on a priority basis,
has nearly doubled in the last two
years until the daily rate is approx
mately 100000 calls at an average
connection speed Of 81 minutes.
Toll calls out of Washington alone
average fZ,UUO Qay.
Free Mail Tremendous.
Thirty billion pieces of domestic
mail were handled and delivered
during the fiscal year of 1912.
Postal revenues in July, l943. were
S82,846,0 900, an increase of 2O12 per
cent over May. 1942, and that fig
ure does not take into account free
mail, the increase of which has
been so great the Postal Depart
ment has lost track.
Air mail is up almost 10 per cent
over the amount carried year ago,
despite the fact that only half as
many planes are carrying air mail
as did before the war.
Post Office employees are working
at least eight hours of overtime
each week to relieve the manpower
shortage in the face of increased
business and the loss of 35 900 en-
ployes to the armed services.
