Sforzo Says ChurchiIrs
Stand Dismoys Italians

NAPLES, Feb. 26 P.-Count
Carlo Sforza, former italian foreign
minister who returned recently from
exile in the United States, has de-
clared his profound disagreement
with Prime Minister Churchills pro.
posal that Premier Gadoglio and
King Victor Emmanuel remain ir
power at least until the fall of Rome
Declaring that dissatisfied masses
OF Italians would 90 to Commu-
nism," Sforza said Mr.. Churchill's
Tuesday speech had caused the
deepest dismay among millions O.
Italians"
He said Mr.. Churchill's statement
that democratic government might
oppose requests from the Allies, y
was an unjustified attack on the 10y
atty OF democratic Italians devoted
to the Allied cause. THE main rea-
son for our opposition to the pres
ent Italian government is It's inabil-
tty to help America and Britain ir
their struggle" he said.
Calls Statement Unfair.
Sforza considered unfair Church.
Ills statement that representa-
tives of the Italian parties are
anxious to attain power" since, he
said, the King asked Sforza to be-
come Prime Minister last November
and he refused because "in my con-
science the presence of the King
would make a serious war effort i'm
possible.
A third criticism by Sforza was
that Churchill was also wrongly
Informed when he stated a demo-
cratic government could have no
valid authority over the armed
forces"
I'm reality" said sforza, some of
the youngest and ablest generals
who never got ahead because they
were anti-Fascists are with us and
are the only ones who may gain the
confidence and enthusiastic respect
Of our soldiers"
Foresees Revolution.
Declaring that leaders of Italy's
six anti-Fascist parties felt as he
did about Mr.. Churchin's speech
Sforza asserted "the italian people
will not go, to the King and Ba-
>doglio. All the dissatisfied masses
will go to Communism and there
will be revolution"
Meanwhile, Premier Badoglio
heartened by Prime Minister
churchill's proposal was reported
to have proposed that his opponents
stop their attacks on his government
and on the italian King.
Persons who have seen the Marshal
said Badoglio was silent on his in
tentions as to staying in office, but
Allied authorities said the Premier
had committed himself to resign
when Allied armies reached Rome.
Badoglio was said to have ex-
pressed privately the hope that the
Allies would take Italy into the
United Nations as a full ally, rather
than merely as co-belligerent, with
a full exchange Of diplomats.

Every now and again you read in
the Citizens In Uniform" column
of this paper and in the soldier col
umns of the dailies, items something
like this: "Pvt John Doe, who is
stationed in Italy, would like to hear
from friends back home. His adj
dress may be obtained by phoning
his parents, the address is 0000-J."
Items like that are not put in just
to fill up space. They are run at
the express requests of parents, who
have received letters from their
boys overseas, asking for more and
more letters from their home town
letters that for few precious mo-
ments, at least, take their minds of
the horror of war and conjure up
for them vision of that home town
they are longing to get back to.
Something over year ago, Thorn
as w. Pangborn, Judge Joseph D.
Mish and c. NELL Baylor formed
the Washington County Letter
League to help fill that longing in
a serviceman's heart for news of
home Bearing all the cost them
selves, the league sent a monthly
V-mail letter to every Washington
County man and woman serving
overseas, whose address they were
able to obtain. This service was
maintained regularly until post Of
flee regulations prohibited league
letters being sent by V-mail.

Enthusiastic Rally

Washington County held an en-
thusiastic rally at the home of A. K.
Coffman, chairman of the Washing

Thursday afternoon and heard

county party members were Con-
gresham J. Glenn Beall, up for re-
election in the Sixth Congressional
District; Blanchard Randall, Jr.,

Senate, and Jacob France, Republi-
can National Committeeman.
The informal gathering was
largely attended and it was very
evident that the prediction that the
Republican candidate for President
would carry Maryland was not a
case of "wishful thinking" but a
sincere belief, based on reports
from every section of the State.
Later in the evening, the Central
State Committees from every coun-
ty in the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict held meeting at the Hotel
alexander, to perfect plans for the
campaign, and while no details OF
the meeting were given out, it is
understood that all county commit
tees have agreed on a unified plan
best calculated to insure the sue
cess of the party.
