VICTORY IN
ITALY MAY
Be SIGNAL
No More Germans 10 Be
Sent South in View Of
Coming Invasion

STOCKHOLM, May 26.-Both the
eastern and Italian fronts of the
Germans must manage with troops
and equipment already there in
view of the coming western inva-
sion, a German High Command
spokesman told correspondents.
In view of the manpower pinch,
the spokesman said, the German
command was forced to make the
serious decision to retreat from
the south of Italy because we
didn't want to draw reserves from
other threatened fronts"
The spokesman said he regarded
the Allied Italian success as the
signal" for invasion by coordinat-
ed Allied offensives from the east,
west and south.
Admitting the German withdraw
al is without doubt great tactical
victory for the Allies, the spokes-
man said the Germans were oblig-
ed to avoid enlightenment because
the German troops were inferior
in number and material"

headed by Senator McCarran de-
clared the President had mo con-
stitutional authority" to issue the

clined to sign 1t.
The Senate Subcommittee did not
hold public hearings, but sent an
to Chicago shortly after
the seizure. Mcfarland said he did
not sign the report because Il be-
lieve the subcommittee has not made

Hoover's statement was directly

Arnall said, 1t is apparent that
Roosevelt and Dewey are the NOM
