KNOWLEDGE VS.. GUESS

KNOWLEDGE beats guesswork
every time. When you know from
your own holding that a certain
defense will mess up the declarer,
your responsibility is to apply
that knowledge instead Of expect
ing your partner to infer the facts
you know. Maybe he will guess
right and maybe he won't. In fact.
he may make the worst possible
guess from among several options.

MILAN, April 80. (UP)-
The broken body of Benito
Mussolini lay unclaimed be-
side his slain mistress in the Milan
morgue Monday, dishoncred in
death by the people he led to en-
pire and ruin.
The fallen Duce died badly in
the sight of the Partisan eXecu-
tioners who killed him and his para
mour, Clara Petacci in their hide
out on Lake Como last Saturday.
And the people he ruled for two
decades paid him their last tribute
by hanging his remains head down
from the rafterS of a gasoline sta
tion in Milan's Loreto square.
There, for a night and day they
spat upon their fallen leader, shot
his body in the back and kicked the
face into a tocthless, pulpy mass.
CARTED TO MORGUEs
When the mob tired Of its ghastly
sport the bodies were taken down
and dumped into an open truck.
They were carted to the city morgue
and the pair We're placed on metal
slab in the morgue courtyard.
Someone tilted the death slab
upward SO the bodies were visible
to hundreds of persons still mill

the stone and plaster wall.

reached the morgue his jacket had
been torn away, revealing his bar

Muss olini, the "jackal" to the
last, was caught as he attempted to
flee to Switzerland in a 30-car
convoy, his bulky frame cloaked in
a German military overcoat to es-
cape detection.
"I heard Mussolini was arrested
and taken to villa near Dcngo,
said Edouardo, who commands all
the Partisan forces south Of the
Po. None of US wanted Mussolini
to be freed or escape to SWitzer-

"Mussolini was in the cottage on

When he saw italian officers COM

come to free him and he embraced
his sweetheart.
when he understood he was
gcing to be tried he was shocked
But our men gave them both a
trial and condemned them to
death"
PLEADED FOR ELFE
Then it was that Mussolini. Who
had dealt death to so many 9TH
ers, offered the empire he didn't
have in exchange for his life. But
the firing squad-men from the
SIND Garibaldi brigade-went ahead
with the execution, there at the
villa on the hill.
Mussolini did net wear blind

rifles, he cried mo, no. A second
later he fell from a bullet that en-
tered his left forehead.
Edouardo said the 16 others were
examined later and shot in the
town square at Dongo. They in
cluded the brother CT Signorina

was shot dow mas he ran.

In Berlin Streets

LONDON, April 80. (UP)-Red
armies hammered the last fanatic
defenders of Berlin into a flaming
shell-torn eight-square-mile death
pocket around the Tiergarten and
Under Den Linden Monday.
Moscow dispatches said the Rus
slams already had driven across the
Landwehr canal into the heavily
fortified Tiergarten-Berlin's CEN
tral park-from the southwest.
German broadcasts admitted Sow
let shock troops also had broken
through to the Lustgarten courtyard
fronting the old Royal palace, the
Berlin Cathedral and the old mus
cum at the eastern end of Unter
den Linden.
The decimated SIS garrison was
in its last throes of resistance,
Moscow said. Most of its artillery
was gone and its hold on the center
of the doomed capital was shrink
ing hourly.
William Nord Haw Hawl Joyce,
broadcasting over the North Ger
man radio, said Adolf Hitler still
was directing the defense of Ber-
lin from an underground citadel.
But other continental reports said
Hitler either was dying or already
dead.
Front dispatches published in
Moscow said an epidemic of SUICIDES
swept German army and Nazi party
ranks as the Red army fought
deeper into the capital. Scores were
found dead by their own hand.
Tens of thousands of other Ger
man troops deserted to the Russian
lines. The captured commander of
