The finding concludes that in view
Of the testimony Of witnesses, II
would appear that at the very least
DelBuono knew or should have
known that Salvatore was on the
running board Wien he started his
car. This in itself makes him Grim
inally liable for the death.
Testimony was held not suffl-
GENTLY clear to find definitely that
Salvatore was pushed of by Del

THE WAR ON
MANY FRONTS
BY UNITED PRESS

italy appeared to be bordering On
collapse today.
Two days out Of the war against
the Allies, the Italians were fight
ing again--now against Germany,
Violent fighting between German
and italian troops was reported at
several points. A formal italian de-
claratlon of war against Germany
was expected.
1t was reported land denied that
King Victor Emmanuel had abdi-
Gated the Italian throne In favor OF
Crown Prince Umberto. Premier
Marshal Pietro Badoglio left Rome
on a mysterious mission.
Amidst the turmoil over Italy the
fighting went on. There were Two
battles--that Of the Allies against
the Germans in southern Italy and
that Of the Italians against the
Nazis striving desperately to clamp
a grip on as much Of Italy as they
could salvage from the debacle.
Lieut.. Gen. Mark w. Clark's
American and British expeditionary
force hacking at the Na1 tentacles
on Naples was revealed to have es-
tablished its foothold below the city
in battering down strong German
opposition.
Allied reinforcements and supplies
were pouring ashore from an inva-
sion fleet sprawling over 1,00C
square miles of the Tyrrhenian sea
Powerful air forces ranged cease
lessly over the battle zone, blast
ing the German frontal positions
and blowing up enemy lines leading
to the beachheads.
While the Allies were slicing into
the Italian coast below Naples, a
diversionary force Splashed ashore
on Ventotene Island, 40 miles to the
west, and accepted the surrender Of
the Italian garrison.
To the south, the British Eighth
army in effect completed the occu-
patton of the Italian toe. The i'm
perials captured Pizzo at the south
end of the Gulf of Eufemia and
Monasterace on the opposite side
of the peninsula.
