Execution Of Italians
By Nazis in Naples

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, Sept. 23.-Ar
Italian officers eyewitness account
OF extreme cruelties and numerous
executions which German troops in
Naples inflicted on italians was pub
iished yesterday by Stars and
Stripes. The officer had escaped in
rowboat and joined the American
5th Army forces on the island of
Capri.
In a dispatch from the island, the
Army newspaper reporter, John O
Kearney, quoted the officer as say
ing he saw as many as so persons
arrested and shot ION various
meager pretexts,' and said other
refugees declared the reign of ter
ror in the Italian city equaled the
worst Warsaw saw at the hands of
the Nazis.
The italian officer declared that
many persons were flogged publicly
for minor infractions of Nazi rules
He brought a copy of proclamation
posted by the German commandant
in the streets of Naples. It said. in
part:
ANY one who acts against the
Germans will be executed, and the
place where such acts are committed
will be destroyed and reduced to
ruins. Every German soldier wound

The Nazi-operated Rome radio
said last night that Marshal Albert
Kesselring, commandant Of Nazi oc-
cupational forces in Central Italy,
had decreed the death penalty for
italians withholding from the mar
ket or charging "disproportionate"
prices for food and other necessary
daily supplies. Kesselring's ordi-
nance, as reported in the Rome
broadcast recorded by the United
States Foreign Broadcast Intelli-
gence Service, said less serious vio-
lations might be punished by de-
tention.
In an earlier broadcast, recorded
by the Associated Press, the Rome
radio revealed the Nazis have called
more Italians In Rome into the
armed service. Glasses from 1920
through 1924 were ordered to report
to military centers, the broadcast
said.
Renato Ricci, head of the Fascist
militia, has been placed in charge Of
the Italian youth organization, the
radio announced.

Nazis Reported Ordered
To Be Friendly 10 Vatican
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MADRID, Sept. 23.- German
forces in Rome, according to reports
reaching here from Italy, have re-
ceived strict orders from Berlin to
maintain the best possible relations
with the Vatican.
The reports were taken as an in
dication that the Nazis are most
anxious to avoid any trouble which
might lead to public appeal from
the Vatican asking that they move
out OF Rome so it may be considered
by the Allies as an open city.
Italian cardinals, it was said, are
being allowed free entry and exit
through the German lines around
Vatican City, and the Nazis we're
reported to have offered to supply
the papal state with any foodstuffs
it may need.
This offer, however, was said to
have been rejected.

Soap Output for Civilians
Ordered Increased 28 Pet.

BY the Associated Press.
Soap production for civilians will
be increased 28 per cent, the War
Food Administration announced
yesterday.
Additional supplies of fats and oils
will be allocated, VIA said, adding
that the larger supplies of soap
should reach consumers within a
few weeks.
Soap production for civilians has
been on a restricted basis this year,
but VITA said the absence of some
types of soap from retail shelves in
recent months had been caused pri-
marily by boarding on the basis
of "unfounded rumors" of shortages.
The VITA said the new ALLEGATION
would provide 25.4 pounds of soap
per person this year compared with
23.4 last year.
Increase in ALLEGATION of fats and
oils for soaps is made possible, the
food agency said, by improved ship

By PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-
w Bernardo Baruch's denial
that the peacetime business con.
version policy, which he is de-
vising. will provide for SUPER
vision by WPB, traces back to
a private meeting he had here
wTth representatives OF the steel
industry.
1t was supposed to be a very
secret meeting, but some of the
steel people neglected to keep
II that way, and their misin-
depreciation of Baruch's re-
marks reached certain business
trade papers.
The wording of the Baruch
denial made it appear that the
story came from some of
Donald Nelson's publicity men,
but thereais no indication that
Nelson wants to take over the
conversion job.
The task will be as difficult
as the conversion of industrial
plants to war. The problem of
every individual plant will differ
In some respect.

tools will have to be cleared

can start TO make automobiles
again. Then what to do about
the tools?
They cannot all be converted
10 auto use, but Keller said
Chrysler would buy some, and
the government may wish TO
use others in arsenals. Obviously,
the government is going TO be-
come involved in the greatest
secondhand in dust rial junk
business of all time.
Certainly, this situation calls
for a clear. immediate declara-
ton of policy and the beginning
OF tremendous detailed work of
handling individual plant prob
lens.
WHILE WPB has experts with
w better knowledge of con-
ditions than any one else, much
better than the army and navy,
for instance, Mr.. Baruch prob
ably will recommend creation OF
an overall body rather than
designation of any specific gov
eminent bureau.

TIVE Democratic congressional
Il rebuke of the treasury and
the administration in the new
tax bill is not difficult to ex-
plain.
Cost Of government, esti-
mated In the budget for this
fiscal year, was S106, 900, 900, 900,
but expenditures have been run
ming so far only at a rate of
$50, 1000, 100000. The treasury
has revised its own estimate of
tax receipts up to S45, 200, 900,
600.
So the administration goal OF
raising half of the war costs
through taxation already is be-
ing realized even without this
additional S2,140.0O0,O 900 bill.
Obviously, there is no. need for
the S10,5e0, 600 600 tax Increase
which Mr.. Morgenthau and his
experts demanded of Congress.
For this reason, the bill will
go skimming through the Sem
ate as well as the House. The
President no doubt will sign it,
as a veto would be useless.

a little war, and they should all
be treated alike.
A bullet hits just as hard in a
small skirmish in a remote Gen.
trail American jungle as 1t does
on a major battlefield IN Europe.
The after effects of a minor
campaign that gets no more
than a paragraph In the news
papers may be just as severe as
the physical kickback OF a great
operation in the Pacific that
commands headlines.
But the men who served the
colors in our past wars, veterans
Of the regular and volunteer
armies, are unfortunate in that
they lacked powerful organiza-
tons such as the American Le-
gion and such as the veterans OF
this war will surely have, and
the politicians had no fear of
them.

= pay income taxes on their mea-
ger allowances, though nova
days veterans of 80 days service
are exempt from the income Tx,
even If all their service was
only in training camp. This
arrangement does not seem to
make sense.
NOW I do not say that Just
~ because a man serves his
country in time of war that he
Is entitled 10 thereafter be a
ward of the government or that
he Is entitled TO more consider
alton than any other citizen. /
am well aware that years after
war many veterans have at
tempted to obtain governmental
relief for disabilities that had
no connection with their service
and that more likely were due
TO their own indiscretions and I
do not contend that such men
are entitled to relief.

war veterans, yet / say that the
number of deserving cases will
always vastly exceed the un-
deserving. and II IN better that
a few OF the latter get by than
that many of the former be
deprived Of their rights. But it
seems TO me that legislation in

clude all veterans and not just
those of current power Of or
