Duce May Face Trial
Before Commission
OF United Nations
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, July 26.-Some
day there may be issued from
London warrant for the arrest
of one Benito Mussolini, dark,
short, fat. ex-dictator of Italy.
A United Nations commits
sion for investigation of war
crimes already has been named
and is expected soon to begin
collecting evidence against a
long list of war criminals,
which supposedly would be
topped by Hitler and Mussolini.
Action by the United Nations
is expected to follow the COM
missions findings.
Both Mussolini and Hitler
often have been reported to
have cached personal funds in
Switzerland, traditional haven
for political refugees which
both dictators have left free
throughout the war.
Whether Switzerland would
alter her traditional policy to
exclude Axis leaders was not
known. The only other refugees
in Europe are Turkey, closely
allied with Britain; Portugal,
which also is an ally of Britain;
Sweden, which Mussolini pre-
sumably would require Hitler's
approval to reach, and Spain,
whose generalissimo Franco is
in Mussolini's debt for aid dur
ing the Spanish Civil War.
The Vatican is an unlikely
but possible temporary haven.
1t is also possible that Hitler
might take in his erstwhile
partner.
None of the United Nations
leaders is known to have stated
specifically and fatty that Hit
Ter and Mussolini. would be
jailed or executed. The purpose
of the United Nations Com
mission is to investigate charges

Rome-Ber|in Split
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. July 26. - italian
| American leaders convened here to-
day to discuss how best a permanent
| organization could aid the United
States Government 'in eliminating
Italy from the Axis and rehabilitat-
ing her people, both politically ard
economically"
The fall of Benito Mussolini from
power did not prompt the meeting,
which had been under consideration
| for some time, Justice Ferdinand
Pecora of the New York State Su-
preme Court, one of the leaders OF
the movement, explained.
He added, however, that Musso-
lini's fall gives us definite assurance
Of the attitude of the people of
| Italy toward both Fascism and the
war, and to that extent gives us
encouragement"
Justice Pecora said that a per-
manent organization, Nation wide in
scope, would be formed He said
those attending the meeting in
cluded Generoso Pope, publisher of
the Italian American newspaper II
Progresso; DR.. Charles Fama, chair
man of the medical board, New York
City Retirement System, Judge Eu-
gene D'Alessandroni, Philadelphia
Court OF Common Pleas; Judge Fe-
lix Forte, Massachusetts Superior
Court and national head Of the Sons
OF Italy; Representative D'Alesan-
dro, Democrat, of Maryland, and
James Montana, Buffalo, N. Y, bus
mess executive.
He said Dr. A. H. Gianini, head of
the Bank of Italy in California, un-
able to attend, wired accord with
the purposes of the meeting.
Justice Pecora told a general press
conference before the meeting that
Mussolini's abdication seemed to be
the logical outcome of the acclaim
with which the people of Sicily
greeted our invading forces"
Il don't think it was a mere ges-
ture," he said. Il think it is a re-
suit Of deep undercurrent of feel
ing among the people of Italy that
openly manifested itself during the
current invasion of Sicily
He said he believed a repudia ton
OF Fascism was implicit in the atti-
tude of the Sicilians, adding that "at
the same time we should be cautious
before making any appraisal of the
climactic event of yesterday"
Justice Pecora said he hoped the
result of the committees work would
permit Italy once again to take an
honored place among the free ma
tions of the world"

Salo IL recognized the desirability of
separating the loyal from the dis
loyal. But, WRA said, to do that it
had to have detailed information
about every single individual if it
was to avoid grave mistakes.
Such detailed informa ton was not
available at first. WRA says now
after months of investigation and
questioning and research-that it
has exhaustive information about
every Japanese in the centers who
Is more than II years old.
The Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton has checked on IS and 80 per
cent OF the Japanese concerned, ex-
poets to finish the job soon.
Working from this information,
WRA plans to begin in September
the job of wedding out the disloyal.
The job Of separation is looked on
by WRA with frank apprehension,
Probably $4,000 persons will be
moved one way or another-a big
problem in transportation alone,
which has just been arranged. Once
that job is accomplished WRA ex-
poets life in the relocation camps to
attain a more even keel.
About 5000 japanese have been
placed on seasonal leave to work in
the sugar beet and other crops in
the intermountain States of Idaho,
Utah, Eastern Washington and Ore
gon, Wyoming, Colorado and Mon
tana.
Some 1900 others have been given
indefinite leave.
To qualify for indefinite leave,
WRA says, an evacuee must show
that he can support himself outside
and satisfy WRA that he will not
endanger national security. WRA
oficials will help him find a job,
and check up on the community he
plans to enter, to see whether his
presence would lead to trouble. The
evacuee has to keep WRA informed

LABOR LEADERS
BACK SUBSIDIES
William Green: Clio Repre-.
sentatives Are Called AT
Committee Hearing

WASHINGTON, Dec. T. LAP -
AFL and CLIO leaders appealed to-
day for retention OF food price
subsidies.
Testifying before the S e
Banking committee, President Will
liam Green of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, predicted that
if subsidies are abolished TO o d
prices will double within h e
months. He also charged that
hackers of a bill to ban subsidies,
among them the major farm or
CARNATIONS. are bent upon sweep
ing away the entire price control
program.
James B. Carey, seoretary-treas-
urer Of the Congress of Industrial
Organizations, said tn, CLIO favors
subsidies because it believes that
whatever adjustment of wa g e
ceilings it might accomplish, or
gained labor will never be able
to move wages up as rapidly as
prices will rise if III e. break
loose"
Green and Carey were witness
es on the second day of the Sen
ate committees hearings On the
bill, alreaoy overwhelmingly ap-
proved by the House, which would
ban subsidies after Jan. /.
Green declared that while SUBJ
sides are costing the government
about 1925, 100000 this year, con-
suners are receiving a net saving
of $2,373, 100000, or about two and
one-half times the subsidy cost.
IF subsidies are outlawed, food
prices will double within hire
months and treo]e in six months"
he asserted. This the American
people do not want and will not
stand.
When Green charged that the
OPA had ''faileo to stabilize
prices to the extent the War La
Dor Board has held Gown wages,
he was interrupted by Senator Taft
R.-Ohio). Taft said Labor Depart
ment figures show wages h v
risen about 20 per cent since Sep
TENDER, 1912, while food costs have
gone up about six per cent.
