Il DUCE DEFENDS
HIS PUPPET RULE
(Bv The Associated Press)

The long silent fallen duce o.
fascism. Benito Mussolini, spoke
out yesterday from puppet head
quarters at Milan, asserting thai
regime faced unbelievable and
ever-increasing difficulties in the
shifting fortunes Of war.
Federal Communications Com
mission monitors said Mussolin1
appeared in good voice as he har-
angued his followers for SIS min
utes in the Lyric theater on the
anniversary of the as assination
of Aldo Resega, fascist commits
sioner of Milan province.
Persistent reports from neutral
capitals indicated recently that
Mussolini was seriously i'll.
Mussolini protested to see "signs
of a revival among his followers
and declared that German and
fascist troops would defend the
Pc valley tooth and nail against
Allied forces fighting up from the
south.
His troubles were multiplied, the
Duce said, by activities of the
underground - Milan long has
been a rallying point of anti-fas-
cists - and a moral inertia
which events have produced in
many classes of people,
Mussolini bid for greater recog-
milton from his axis partners, say-l
ing that since Italy's surrender
his regimes contribution to the
cause was ''far greater than is
commonly believed
No less than 10000 Italians
were now engaged as workers or
soldiers on Germany's side, he de-
clared.
The German agency Trans
ocean, in a broadcast recorded
in London, reported that the Duce
charged the Allies intended to de-
port hundreds of thousands of
Italians in event of their VIC

DOSHER EXPLAINS
CARRIER CHANGE
MAP
surface.

Postmaster Wilbur R. Dosher
yesterday reported increased eff
cheney in mail delivery as a result
of the one delivery per day system
put into operation early in Novem-
Der in portions of the city outside
the downtown district.
The change, duplicating h a t
made in Washington, D. c. two
years ago and in Atlanta, Ga,
somewhat more recently, imple-
mented an authorization from the
Post Office department in Washing
ton to curtail deliveries when the
service value of more than a single
round per day became doubtful.
The new system is expected to re-
main in effect for the duration of
the war.
Mr.. Dosher justified the change
by pointing out that mail carriers
could now keep on their rounds
until full delivery had been made.
Formerly they had returned to the
postoffice to begin the second
round regardless of whether or not
they had finished the first one. They
are also permitted now to take a
thirty minute lunch period at a
point in the route.
Prior to institution of the new
system, Mr.. Dosher indicated, de-
lays in mail train arrivals had be-
come so frequent that afternoon
schedules often were merely de-
ferred compilations of the morning
rounds. Moreover, the morning
mail loads had become heavier, |
causing slower progress. Chief
cause of the increase, nation
wide phenomenon, is the greater
use of the mails by servicemen and
their families, federal war agen-
cies and migrant war workers..

there the French First Army and

Rapidly squeezing the Germans

would be forgiven.
At the same time a Downing
street spokesman said it was
"quite possible that h prime
minister would discuss the Euro
pean political situation in a broad
cast tomorrow.
The spokesman said the plans
were still tentative and no hour
had been fixed for the broadcast.
Although Churchill's. statement
was explained as a lapse of mem
ory," feeling grew in diplomatic
quarters that per h APPS some
changes may have been made in
the Atlantic Charter which have
not yet been disclosed.
1t was recalled that the British
press and certain members of Par
Lament earlier this year suggest
ed revision of the charter in view
OF war developments.
Last April the then U. S. Sec
rotary of State Hull and undersec-
cretary Stettinius made statements
that there was growing concern
on both sides of the Atlantic for
new Interpretation of the char
ter.
When asked by the Associated
Press for an explanation of the
Churchill statement of yesterday,
secretary at No. 10 Downing
street said:
Give me a quarter of an hour.
I'll see what I can do"
Ten minutes later he telephoned
back to say Mr.. Churchill had just
made slip"
Churchill in his statement before

not be forgotten that in the At

ception that here should be no

Kenneth Pickthorn, national
conservative member, immedi-
ately challenged the point and as
serted that h Atlantic Charter
contained no such insertion, but
mat the United Nations desired to
