The late Pietro Caruso looked up

What did you have to do with
his arrest?"
Caruso lied quickly: II had moth

Coffee Rotioning Nay Return,

Coffee rationing again will be

shipments Of coffee to this country,
the Once Of Price Administration

cision will be made within "A hours.
The agency emphasized, however,
that resumption of coffee ration
ing has not yet been ordered and
expressed hope that such action can
be avoided.
The Nations stockpile of coffee,
while ample for q normal four
months supply, has been dwindling
for two months because "specula-

VINO Official Warns
OF Slower Fuel
Deliveries Here
Connolly Says Labor
Situation Will Be
Worse This Winter
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

Service in fuel oil and coal
distribution and the transpor-
tation industry will be worse this
winter because of the manpower
shortage here, Ernest v. Con-
molly, acting area war manpow-
er director, predicted last night.
Mr.. Connolly gave three reasons
for his warning that "it's going to
take longer to get service of all
kinds in Washington this winter.
First, he said, the winter will start
with $4,000 fewer workers than were
employed here year ago. Second,
more workers now are leaving
Washington each month than are
replaced by incoming labor.
And, thirdly, I'VE didn't have to
combat over-optimism this time last
year." The United States Employ
ment Service interviewers, he said
have reported "a growing restless
ness among the workers, feeling
they should be leaving their war
jobs for permanent, peacetime oc-
cupations."
10000 Unified Jobs Listed.
Mr.. Connolly reported more than
10000 untitled jobs listed with the
USES. In addition to supplying re-
placements for workers lost through
turnover, the USES has been asked
by Washington essential employers
to supply nearly 5000 more work.
ers to meet minimum production
and service demands, Mr.. Connolly
said, adding that was a "rock- bot
tom" figure.
Most of this demand for new
workers, he said, was a carry-over
from the reports on anticipated labor
needs filed with VINO by leading
Washington industrial plants and
service industries for the six-month
period ending September l.
During that period, the As largest

Text Of German Order
For Officers 10 Save
Selves Is Revealed
Senior Commanders Told
To Escape So Reich
Can Plan New War
BY HAL BOYLE,

AMERICAN COMMAND POST
IN GERMANY, Sept. 30.-First
Army correspondents were shown
for the first time today the full
text of one OF the most unusual
orders of the entire war.
This is the order directing all
German Army officers-save ex-
pendable junior officers - to save
their own lives in battle so that the
Reich will have an officers corps
to prepare for a third world war.
The junior commanders have
been nominated to "die a heros
death" to spur the tagging troop
morale while their superiors save
their own skins in emergencies.
The captured document, ad-
dressed to all German officers, was
issued by the Army command in
August during the most critical
hours of the battle for France.
Foreseeing defeat but trying to
stave it off as long as possible, the
order listed maintenance of troop
morale as the most important duty
of the officers corps.
Noncommissioned officers were
instructed to ferret out dissident
soldiers and put them in front line
posts where they would be killed or
send them back home ION leave"
where the Gestapo or IS elite
Guard officers could arrest them.
Strategic Limit Reached.
Declaring it had become more
and more difficult to supply our
Air Force, armor and artillery" this
secret document said that 1.-The
strategic limit of retreat and elastic
maneuvers of disengagement has
been reached" and added:
THE high command of the
Wehrmacht. is therefore more and
more often compelled to give the
order positions must be held to the
last man and to the last cartridge"
The document complained that
cases have been increasing where
such orders were not carried out
to the letter. TN Italy," it said,
troops have frequently given up
territory not only after inadequate
defense but even without fighting.
The present crisis on the western
Front is attributable in great meas
ure to all too frequent surrender
without fight, contrary to orders.
In France it is therefore the
more important duty of the officer

By Stote Department
BY the Associated Press.

The Germans halted the
Swedish liner Gripsholm re-
Gently, while it was laden with
American repatriates, in order to
remove two crewmen before the
vessel passed out of Nazi-con-
trolled waters, it was disclosed
today.
The State Department confirmed
reports of the temporary detention
Of. the ship, and said one of the
seamen taken in custody by the
Nazis was an American and the
other a Dane.
A protest against the action has
been filed through the Swiss Gov
ernment.
The State Department announced
that the two crew members removed
by the Germans we're:

citizen, born at Philadelphia, Janu-
airy 2, 1924, whose mother. Mrs.
Blanche Kelly, lives in Mission. Tex.
Eric Poul Hansen, allegedly a
Danish subject.
The department offered no ex-
planation for the use of the term
"allegedly" in connection with the
citizenship Of the two men.
1t was Kelly's first voyage on the
Gripsholm, while Hansen, whom
the department described as wait
er, had previously served on the
ship.
The State Department said the
Gripsholm was detained nine hours
by the Germans. and in its protest
70 the German government de-
scribed the German action as "un-
precedented" and demanded that
the official responsible be appro-
priately dealt with.
The excuse given by the Germans
for stopping the ship off the south
Norwegian coast, unofficial reports
said, was that the two men removed
had been working with the Danish
underground movement. The State
Department made no comment on
this report.

Army from a small bridgehead
Iacross the Fiumicino River,
northwest of Rimini, headquar-
ters disclosed today, but Amer
leans advancing to the west held
firmly to their rain-swept noun
tain salient knitting into the Ger
man lines despite strong enemy
attacks.
The Fiumicino, the lower course
of Caesars famous Rubicon of an
tiquity, was running deep and swift
from autumn downpours, and some
of the Americans mountainous sup
ply roads were so flooded that even
mule teams were stalled.
Both the Americans and the Brit
ish reported moderate gains in root
ing the Germans from highland
strongholds overlooking the roads
leading into the Po Valley.
The British reverse on the Fiumi-
cino came west of San Mauro di
Romagna, 9 miles west and slightly
north of the Adriatic city of Rimini.
New Zealanders held 400 yards
of the south bank and a small force
braved the current and planted
itself on the farther side. Before it
could be reinforced, German tanks
rumbled up along with enemy in
fantry and foced them back across
the stream.
Seven miles farther west the fight
ing which had blazed around Savig-
nano subsidized in the thick weather.
Sharp German counterattacks on
the southwest caused some leading
British elements to withdraw, how
ever.
The Germans made a supreme ef-
fort to dislodge the doughboys from
Monte Battaglia, II miles from their
highway pivot of Imola on the road
from Rimini which runs northwest
to Bologna, a prime 5th Army OBJ
jective. Unsuccessful, the Germans
were forced to withdraw both east
and west of the mountain, since
American fire from the summit
commanded supply roads.
This may have been a factor In
the moderate gains reported to the
west, where the Americans captured
Giugnola and sent patrols on mile
northwest into Belvidere, 18 miles
south and slightly east of Bologna
and IA miles from the Rimini -Bo-
logna highway.
