meddling bureaucracy administer

Dies, who is retiring from his

HUNGARIAN CALLS
FOR FINAL STAND

LONDON, Oct. 49, Up Pre-.
mier Ferenc Szalasi, ignoring
Adolf Hitler's frank admission
that Germany no longer has a
single European ally, appealed
to Hungarians today fol- a last
ditch stand against national ex.
termination.
He promised prosecution Of
the war at the side Of the Tri
Partite powers until final victory.
The leader of Hungary's new
puppet government, in a procla.
nation after the first formal
meeting of his pro-German cab
met, pledged naturalization OF
mines and large industries, and
postwar expulsion Of Hungary S

He coupled this with a threat
to carry out ruthless measures
against enemies from inside or
outside the country"

Paris radio reported, has Joined

were reported in Budapest. A
correspondent of Tass, Russian
news agency, reported wholesale

Moscow that Hungary's Fascists

From Bari, Italy, came vary

rian regent.
One was that he had fled tt
the mountains. Another was tina
the Germans abducted him. Bar
reports said strikes virtually hat
paralyzed Budapest. Street bat
ties, as well, were declared II

A still more ominous sign a.
to Horthy's fate was seen in tn,
broadcast by his longtime enemy
and new interior minister, Gabrie
Vajna, who said Szalasi's govern

ALLIES SHOW GAINS
ON ITALIAN FRONT

ROME, Oct. 19.-LR-The Allies
hacked out new gains in northern
Italy today against continued bit
ter German resistance. The British
Eight army drove against Celin-
cordia, less than a mile south Of
the fortress town Of Cessna on the
Rimini-B Bologna highway, and the
Americans captured additional
positions south of Bologna.
Despite rain that was handicap
ping the Allies campaign to sweep
across the Pc valley, Canadian
troops established a bridgehead
across the Pisciatello river east OF
Cessna and north of the Rinini-
Bologna railway, increasing the
pressure on the Cessna objective,
New Zealand troops cleared the vii
lage of Ruffio, two and half miles
to the east.
The drive up highway nine-the
ancient via Emilia-was a bloody,
tedious fight, and the new rains
added new ruts and puddles to the
churned up mess that has slowed
the EIGHTH army for several
weeks.
British and Indian troops in the
hills directly south of Cessna cap
tured a number of small villages,
including Acquarola and Rover
sano, and in the advance on Celin-
cordia added 40 prisoners for a
total bag Of 120 in that salient.
Despite German reinforcements,
the Americans established them
selves at San Clemente, nine miles
below Castel San Pietro, an i'm
portant town between Imola and
Bologna on the Rimini- Bologna
highway.
Other Fifth army forces captured
Vaglie to the west and entered
Castelvecchio, about two and half
miles. northwest of San Clemente.
New ground was seized on highway
IS, the main entrance to Bologna
from the south.
East Of highway IS American
troops occupied the village Of
Camp Rocco and engaged the Ger
mans in heavy fighting directly to
the north. Equally fierce strug-
giles were in progress on the south
ern slopes of Monte Belmonte, a
1880 foot peak at the entrance to
the Savena valley leading to
Bologna and a center of German
resistance eight miles south Of
Bologna's outskirts.
On the west coast Negro troops
of the U. S. 92nd Infantry captured
Monte Catiglione, an important
height west of Seravezza, only five
miles southeast of the Tuscany
town of Massa (pop. 1850 which
lies 20 miles by rail southeast of
the naval base Of La Spezia.
Bad weather curtailed Mediter-
ranean Allied air force operations.

President Roosevelt's Mistake
President Roosevelt says that the
League OF Nations failed because
1t lacked teeth. The simple
truth is that II failed because IL
lacked religion. IL is still i'm.
possible TO make a silk purse out OF
sow's ear. A spiritual awaken
ing is needed TO raise not only our
national income but the income
OF the entire world. Our difficulty
is that We consider only the seen
things such as land. forests, mines.
harbors. etc, and entirely overlook
the greatest OF all natural re-
sources. namely, character. brains.
initiative, Imagination, courage
and willpower. The greatest OF all
undeveloped natural resources are
the brains OF a little child. and 7,400
OF these are born in the United
States every day.
IL is we'll to have our soils pro-
duce more food per acre. our coal
TO produce more heat units per
ton, and to speed up our machin.
cry and airplanes; but the greatest
opportunity lies in developing these
unseen factors. Every school child
has the potentialities OF Thomas
Edison. or Henry Ford. Instead
OF a few there should be 100000
such men. Then there would be
no worry about national income
or federal debt. This could be
done through spiritual awaken
ing. Then we all would concen-
trate on making better people in
stead OF fighting over what now
exists. hope every reader will
