Each package of "Astra" cigarettes
contains - besides 25 cigarettes
coupons and list of premiums
which may be obtained by saving
the requisite number of coupons.
Premium No. Is is a portrait of
Adolf Hitler
Other items. preceding Hitler on
the list, include such things as
Olympic games scenes, Gothic paint
ings. homeland animals and Ger
man fairy tales.
Premium No. Is is listed as "Pi-
ratical England"
Coast guards who sampled the
cigarettes have one other comment.
Whoever wrote the package labels
which say the cigarettes were made
Of tobacco, they said, is an enemy
propaganda.

The Interior Department said its
policy would be the same for fathers

At least one of the men-the only

would have reported for induction

Standards Vary.
In the effort to get all the requests
to the draft boards before the ban on
drafting Federal fathers was lifted
the Agriculture Department tele-
graphed some of its requests.
1t appeared that each agency
has different standard for select
ing the fathers it wants deferred.
The Agriculture Department said
it was filing deferment requests
for all preWar fathers in the pro-
fessional and scientific classifica-
tions and in administrative jobs
paying $4,000 or more. No defer
ments will be asked for ordinary
clerks or similar personnel on jobs
which can be filled by women.
The Treasury Department, which
has made few deferment requests
in the past, said it planned to ask
for more deferments. particularly

teachers for. the first time since
Italy's capitulation last September.
the education section of the Allied
Military Government announced to-
day.
BY February l public schools will
have been reopened throughout the
Naples region for about 125000 chill
dren.
Public schools in the neighboring
provinces of Benevento and Avellino
have been in session since January
10 as well as private schools and
advanced institutions.
Fascist Textbooks Seized.
Reopening of the schools involved
investigations in the Fascist con-
nections of 10000 teachers. with
Fascist minded teachers dismissed
as soon as the cases against them
were proven, according to Capt.
George Geyer of Pomona, Calf,
chief of the AMG education section
for the three provinces in the Naples
region.
Fascist textbooks have been con-
fiscated, and others have been per-
mitted with certain deletions. AMG
experts visit the classrooms to make
sure that no prohibited Fascist and
anti-Allied propaganda is taught to
the youngsters.
One aim of the educational au-
thorities is to take children off the
streets. Scores of ragged urchins
and many not so ragged have been
swarming the streets of Naples for
some time.
One of the first steps was the
dismissal of the Fascist educational
personnel. including Dr.. Angelo
Cammarosano, superintendent of
schools for the Province of Naples,
his chief assistant and three ad-
ministrators.
Face Tremendous Task.

pointed superintendent, DR.. Fran

10000 employees still face tremen-
dous educational task after 20 years
of Fascist teaching.
The AMG elimination of ardently
Fascist teachers and textbooks i'm
portant as it is, does not solve the
worst problem confronting Italian
education today" said Capt. Geyer,
former official of the California
school system.
Twenty years of Fascist teachings
have left their mark upon Italian
minds. Twenty years of drilling in
believe. obey, fight and IL Duce is
like god to be worshipped,' with
countless legions of little Blackshirts
listening only to Fascist Rome, have
led many of the younger generation
in Italy into confused state of
mind.
Their infallible god has fallen
and they have not been taught to
think and act independently of
orders from him.
