 London. July 30 - (UP) - Adolf Hitler today was reported seeking additional Hungarian and Bulgarian troops to replace Italian occupation forces being withdrawn from the Balkans, but signs of resistance and unrest among the satellite Axis na- tions increased.
 The Algiers radio said rumors were current in 1stanbul that Ger man troops were about to occupy Hungary. The Morocco radio re- ported that the Hungarian cabinet had discussed the possible dissolu- tion of the Hungarian Nazi party, and said anti-war demonstrations had occurred in Budapest.
 Stockholm dispatches said the Germans had made definite de- mand for Hungarian troops as well as Bulgars to take over from the Italians but both small nations were facing SO many difficulties, especial ly in Bulgaria, that there was a question whether the demand could or would be met.
 (The London radio reported that demonstrating crowds beat up Fas- cist leaders in Bulgaria and that the situation was rapidly getting out of control following a violent debate in the Sofia parliament, where Pre- mier Bogdan Filov was attacked and peace demands were made.
 The broadcast, recorded by CBS, said Bulgaria was seething with un- rest and hostility to Germany, that

 80 Years Old

Detroit, Mich, July 30.-(UP)- Henry Ford said today in a state ment on his 80th birthday that the best way for young fellow to get ahead is to forget all about money and profits and concentrate first on producing something that really helps people"
 Ford, whose Model-T put Amer ica on wheels and laid the founda- ton for the worlds greatest pri- vately-owned industrial empire, out lined his formula for success before leaving with Mrs. Ford on boat trip to his summer home in Michi- gan's upper peninsula.
 Forty years ago, Ford, once a $2.50-a-week mechanic, took $28, ,0OO most of which was contributed re- luctantly by friends-and started the enterprise whose assets exceed S800,- 000 900. But Ford. the philosopher insists money isn't everything.
 We never made money our main objects" he said. We regarded it as one Of the tools. one of the raw materials. one of the by-products of business, and. as result. We always found that we had enough.
 Money" he added. "is just a part of practical life-it saves time in exchanging goods-and is no good tor anything elsA"

Hopes For Wars End Speedily
Radiophoto from NEA
BY HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff COrreSpOnden'

London, July 3O-UP)-The Al lies areb believed to be revising their strategy in the light of the Italian situation for spectacular drive to come to grips with Ger many this fall and possibly end the European war by Christmas.
 There is no Allied statesmen who allows himself to voice hopes for such a speedy conclusion of the war but it is obvious that military fund.- amentals call for fullest possible ex- ploitation of the opening which Italy has presented the Allies.
 Both American and British off, cials warn against sue of the 1918 parallel for comparison with the present Germ 'n army is assumed not to have been beaten.
 But a careful examination of that argument shows that it is not nec- essary valid. Actually the German army had not been beaten when the crackup started in 1918.
 The German army today may not have been beaten in Russia but it has suffered casualties and losses comparable t othose inflicted on the western front in the first World War.
 If the present Allied momentum can be kept up and increased--and shipping is probably the chief fact or therein chances for repetition of 1918 certainly are within the realm of possibility. It should not be over looked that the Russians now are fighting under personal command of Premier Josef Stalin.
 Eastern front reports indicate that the German withdrawal is slowly underway. Thus Germany is faced with military defeat in the east, desertion of her principal ally and shattering air blows at the heart of the homeland.
 The war has been compared to snowfall rolling down hill. Unless Hitler can halt the snoWball before it gets too far, the odds lengthen each day that he never can stop 1t.

FDR Hits At War FeIons

Washington, July 30 - UP)- President Roosevelt today expressed willingness to have peace dealings with anyone in Italy except defin- ite Fascists and warned neutral na- tions not to give asylum to Axis leaders attempting to escape the punishment of the United Nations.
 Citing rumors that Benito Mus solini and members of his gang may attempt to take refuge in neu- tral territory, the president warned that the United States would Ire gard the action by a neutral gov- ernment in affording asylum to Axis leaders or their tools as in- consistent with the principles for which the United Nations are fight ing"
 Under news conference question ing as to whether this government would be willing to deal with the government of Marshal Pietro Ba- doglio, the president said he did not care who we dealt with in Italy as long as it was not a definite member of the Fascist party.

since Saturday night to approxi- mately 7,500
 Last nights was the third "very heavy" raid of the current series on the city. The air ministry placed bomb tonnage in the two previous ones at the record figure of 2,300 or more each.
 Demolition bombs ranging up to four-to super block-busters and tens of thousands of incendiaries hit Hamburg's sprawling shipyards and war factories during the latest raid, starting spreading conf1agra- tions that defied efforts of weary German firemen to control them.
 Even before the attack, American Flying Fortress crews returning from daylight attack yesterday on the Heinkel factory at Warne- muende, 80 miles southeast of Kiel, saw columns of smoke rising 25000 feet over Hamburg from fires kin dled in earlier raids.
 The latest assault underlined the Allied air commands apparent de- termination to blast Hamburg, Ger manyl's biggest U-boat building enter and an important war pro- duction city of the map as an ex- ample to the rest of Germany as to what lies ahead.

Royal Novy Shells ItoIy Coastal Town
By ALFRED WAGG
United Press Staff Correspondent


 About British Cruiser, Off Italy July 29-(UP)-Delayed-Shipso of the Royal Navy bombarded the Ital- ian mainland early today for the second time since the Sicilian cam paign started, directing their guns against vulnerable railway line in the Crotone area.
 The fleet which previously had hit at the railway line in the same area along Italy'S south coast blasted a railway bridge with six-inch shells and started fires ashore without drawing any opposition.
 From the bridge of this cruiser, watched the cruiser group and their accompanying destroyers move leis- urely to within four and five miles of shore, steaming along in string line.
 The ships first threw up few flares, then sent salvo after salvo onto the bridge and rail targets.
 Fires broke out as shell after shell fell on the line on which the rail- road bed is located.
 (Crotone is on the sole of the Italian boot just at the eastern edge of the gulf of Taranto.)
 During the bombardment full light appeared, silhouetting the mountain background far over to- ward Messina Straits where Allied bcmbers were working on enemy shore batteries.
 The crew memDers on this cruiser thought the bombardment job strictly routine and acted like they won't be satisfied with the job against the Axis until they put wheels on this cruiser and push it down the streets of Berlin.

Allied Ship Losses Up
BY SANDOR S. KLEIN


 United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, July 30. - The number of Japanese ships sunk by American submarines was raised to 2l0 today as preliminary reports indicated that Allied shipping losses, which reached a record- breaking low last month, would show an increase during July. The extent of German sumbarine Suc- cess during July is not due for off cial disclosure for another two weeks, but there was evidence that enemy submarines were more active in July than in June. Among other factors, they had more targets to shoot at because of the vast number of ships involved in the Sicilian invasion.
 The Navy announced late yeSter- day that American submarines have sunk 10 more additional ships in the Pacific and damaged four others. In addition to the 210 ships sunk by American submarines, 29 more prob ably were sunk since Pearl Harbor and 58 damaged by submarines. A total of 571 Japanese ships of all types have been sunk by combined American forces.

In the House of Commons, Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden said the governments position regarding Italy was "precisely as defined" previ- ously by Prime Minister Winston Churchill. But in connection with the governments refusal to hold a general war debate at present, Eden said
 Should there be some marked change in the situation and weekends sometimes produce g. changed situation in Europe the government would, of course, recon sider their attitude. The govern ment'S desire will be to carry the House along in every stage of this business. If necessary, we shall ask the House to come back from hoI- day."
 Approve Eisenhower Message
 European dispatches, meantime, told of spreading riots in Italy and the protective arrests of 5000 off ciaLs and prominent members Of the Fascist party. Swiss dispatches reported that disorders, especially at Milan, were strongly communistic in character and said many demon- strators carried Red flags, sang the Internationale a2d shouted for peace.
 Despite lack of official confirma- tion, there were strong indications that the cabinet session was linked closely to the Italian situation.
 If the meeting were not concerned with a formal Italian offer to make peace, informed sources believed, 1t at least may have considered an initial Italian peace approach, pos sibly submitted by third party.
 The ministers also may have laid down formal time limit for deal ing with Badoglio, chief of state in the new Italian government, after
