Warming Follows
Long Week Bam
City Likely TO Learn
II Can't Hire Men,
Oakman Tells Council
By HAROLD sCHACHERN

City Controller Oakman. who
usually echoes the policies of
Mayor Jeffries, today predicted
that unless common council inn
mediately adopts the 48-hour week
the city would not only suffer a
critical labor shortage. but would
soon be denied access TO the labor
market
Oakman said he had learned i'm
directly that the War Manpower
Commission, within the next
week or two, would declare all en-
ployerS subStandard who are
working less than 48 hours. Those
below 40 hours are now considered
Substandard.
WHAT 1T MEANS
THAT MEANS Oakman said,
"that Ii the city has not gone
on six-day week by that time,
city employees can leave for
other employment without
bOthering TO get n release.
1T also means that the city
will not be able to hire people
on the open market because the
city's working hours will then
be substandard and the War
Manpower Commission will not
approve transfers"
Common council. at its formal
meeting last night, rescinded its
resolution of three weeks ago
which established the 4S-hour
week with the extra hours to be
paid at time-and-a-half. Councils
Iindecision on the matter has
sprung from charges the city will
not be able to release manpower
by adopting the longer week.

clared last night that Jewish claims
of Palestine are not made on ma

Speaking on a panel on postwar

rights OF individual human beings
rather than rights of nations.
Therefore" he said, we feel that

as such"
Rabbi William Drain of Sa-

Hoover Sees 1 Duce'! ,!
Fall as Handwriting
On Wall for Axis
BY the Associated Press

BY me Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 26.-The resig-
nation OF Benito Mussolini, former
President Hoover says. will give
heart to every man and woman in
Axis dominated countries-it is the
handwriting on the wall"
Mr.. Hoover made the statement
last night in a broadcast from his
home in Palo Alto, Calf. to the
closing session here of the Emer-
gency Conference to Save the Jew
ish People of Europe.
Deviating from his prepared
speech to comment on the ousting
of the Fascist leaGer, he described
Mussolini as lone of the great per-
secutors-not only of Jews
In his prepared talk, the former
President proposed that the uplands
of Central Africa might we'll be
thrown open as a land of refuge for
Jews and other peoples prosecuted
by the Axis.
Many Of these. great African
areas he said. are mandates es-
tablished from the last war, in trust
for all the world. Such an area In
Africa could be considered senti-
mentally an annex to Palestine
Urging that more systematic tenn
porary measures" be taken now to
aid Jewish refugees, Mr.. Hoover
said:
There are groups OF Jews who
have escaped into the neutral coun-
tries OF Europe. They and any
other refugees from the persecution
of Fascism should be assured OF
support by the United Nations
President Roosevelt sent a mes
sage to the emergency conference
in which he said:
You are aware of the interest
OF this Government in the terrible
condition OF the European Jews and
of our repeated endeavors to save
those who could be saved These
endeavors will not cease until Nazi
power Is forever crushed"

velopments and decared:

Sharpest Drop in History
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Liquor violation arrests took their
sharpest drop in history during the
last II months, the Treasury re-
ported yesterday, as the impact OF
the war hit home for moonshiners.
Agents of the Treasury's Alcohol
Tax Unit arrested only l0,O61 per-
sons during the fiscal year ended
June 80. compared with 20.1S3 in
the preceding 12-month period. The
number of still seizers fell from
1872 to 1856, while the number
of automobiles taken dropped from
3,065 to only 926.
Although the number of cases
has declined steadily since repeal
officials said the drop never has
approached the so per cent rate of
the past year. They ascribed 1t
chiefly to sugar and gasoline ration
ing with manpower a contributing
factor.

His imprisonment for Ave months
brought him fame-and great
triumph. For after his release he
was called to Milan to edit Avanti,
the official daily Of the Italian
Socialist Party.
1t was, in many respects. the most
important post in the party. and
there Mussolini was called a Duce.
or leader. Of Socialism. There, as
mouthpiece OF a strong Italian So
cialism. was Mussolini when World
War I broke out In Europe in 1914.
Italian socialists were against the
war and Mussolini opposed it, as
Italy took a neutral position.
But then he became one OF the
worlds most reviled turncoats.

After the outset of the war. pa :
triotic French socialists tried to
organize . pro-French propaganda
among their comrades in foreign
countries, with Italian intervention
as one Of their aims.
Mussolini had been a -inter-

the French Minister of Propaganda
Jules Guesdes, himself a Socialist,
would provide funds to start an in
terventionist newspaper of which
Mussolini could be sole proprietor
and director, he came out for in
.ervention.
Amid stormy protests from the
Socialists, Mussohni resigned the
editorship of Avanti, and eight DAYS
later. on November Is, 1914, ap-
peared his new paper, II Popolo
d'1talia 'the people of italy,, with
the subtitle. "A Socialist Daily"
The Socialists turned on him with
bitter recriminations and expelled
MIN from the party They said that
a French subsidy Of 100000 francs,
then about $4,000. had enabled
him to found II Popolo dItalia
Years later French Socialists de-
clared that Mussolini had received
10000 francs monthly from France
