Hitler Hated Italians,
Said They Sabotaged
War, Documents Show
By GEORGE Allen

Copyright, ls47. by North American News
poper Alliance
(Fourth in q series based on
stenographic notes of Hitler's
maritime military stat talks.)
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 19.-Al-
though Adolph Hitler was success
full In winning allies of his own
stripe, they were generally of little
value in his overall plans. Benito
Mussolini, Hitler liked; but he
hated the italian people. They did
not have their heart in the war, and
indeed they sabotaged it at every
opportunity.
On May 20, 1s43, Hitler called a
staff meeting on the defense OF
Sicily. Baron Konstantin Won Neu-
rath, a special envoy to Italy, had
Just returned to Berlin. He re-
ported:
"Roatta Gen. Mario Roatta, chief
of staff of the italian Army told
me that he did not have much trust
in the possibility of the defense Of
Sicily: He claimed he did not have
the power to conduct the war, and
the equipment of his troops was in
suficient. Above all he had only
one motorized division there. The
British shoot up the locomotives
every day, and the transportation of
new parts for the locomotives is
impossible.
Transport Discussed.
"All the transportation from
italy to Sicily goes from Giovanni
to Messina. There used to be six
ferries between these two places,
and now there is only one. This
ferry is under museum protection,
as they say. 1t is used only spar
tngly, and has been stored away
for better purposes"
Hitler interrupted to ask what
the better purposes" were.
Baron Won Neurath answered
"They say at one time, my Fuehrer
when the war is over and at another
time, we don't know what is still
to happen At any rate this one
ferry is no longer in service"
Baron Won Neurath continued
"The German troops in Sicily art
without a doubt disliked. The ST.
cilians consider that we brought wal
to their country, and now are
bringing about the coming of tht
British. And this, by and large, the
Sicilian farmer wants. He hope!

into Germany. They even considered
sending parachute troops against
Rome. Though they gave up that
idea a bit later, they did go so far
August 26, 1943-as to discuss the
occupation of the Vatican. This is
what Hitler had to say:
1--WE won't bother to say that the
Vatican entrances are occupied, we'll
Evening star., 1947-02-19

go right In. Do you think the Vatican
bothers me? It will be cleaned out
Immediately, especially the diplo-
matte corps there. Wen get the
whole herd of swine. Well excuse
ourselves later. That doesn't matter.
There's a war on now. Besides, we'll
find documents, and we'll also learn
something about this treachery."

81 Vote In Senate
Labor Committee On
Anti-Labor Bills

The Arizona State Senate La
Dor and Capital Committee voted
3-to-2 Tuesday to send several
anti labor bills to the floor for
action by the entire senate men,
berShip.
Although Senators Earl Platt,
Apache county; j. r. Herrin,
Gila, and Dan Angus, COchise,
formed the majority that sent
the bills out, they did not recon-
mend passage of the legislation.
Their report was without
recommendation"
On the other hand Senator
Samuel j. Head, Yavapai, chair
man of the committee, and Sem
atOr Lloyd e. Canfil, Pinal, is
sued a minority report that the
bills "dO not pass"
1t is expected to be late this
week or early next before the
bills will come up for a vote of
the senate.
While Labor in Arizona feels
that its record for many years,
and especially during the war,
when there was not single
strike, has been such that these
drastic anti-labor laws are un-
just and uncalled for, special in
terests are bringing tremendous
pressure on the Lawmakers, that
many Unionists feel the senate
may pass the bill.
Which, many believe, will be
the signal for strikes, lOck-outs,
picket lines and industrial strife
never known before in the state.

Combat Team Al Fl.
Benninq Is Dissolved

FORT BENNING, Georgia.-The
25th Reg.mental Combat Team,
first activated here on February
20, 1916 as the 10th ret, was Of
ficially dissolved on February Is.
Inactivated on November ii,
1916, final dissolution of the 25th
was deferred until the group of
20 officers and 535 enlisted men,
chosen for assignment with the
oath Regimental Combat Team in
Japan, had completed it's training
and departed this station for the
new organization overseas. The
group, which was largely drawn
from units of the 25th ret, left
Fort Benning on February 5, on
the first leg of its journey to
Japan.
Dissolution of the 25th will not
materially affect the units that
composed i. It's base unit, the
25th Infantry Regiment, will con-
tinue functioning as a Regular
Army outfit. Attached to he regi-
ment will be the 571st and 999th
Field Artillery BattallonS, and the
375th Medical Collecting Company,
units formally attached to the
combat team.
The infantry regiment was re-
Gently reduced in strength from
three to two rifle battalions. The
second battalion is a present at
tached to and acting as demonsra-
ton troops for the Infantry School
at Fort Benning. They are put
ting on demonstrations and work
ing problems for the students of
the School. It is expected that the
first battalion will furnish the per-
sonnel for he Air Indoctrination
Course that will shortly be con-

Green Warns
Aqoinst Laws

Washington, D. C.-Grave warn
ing that approval of anti-labor leg
islation now pending in Congress
would produce such confusion in
industrial circles "as to undermine
the present world position of the
United States" was served on the
Senate Labor Committee by AFL
President William Green.
Mr.. Green's blast was the open
ing attack by labor spokesmen
against the large number of bills
before the current session of Con-
gress to strip union workmen of
virtually every gain they have
made over a long period of years.
In a blanket Indictment of far
flung proposals to completely re-
vamp labor legislation, the usually
mild-speaking labor leader made no
attempt to conceal his contempt as
he condemned the major measures
as "vindictive," obnoxious, "pro-
pagandistic hogwash" and attempts
to impose government by injunc-
ton"
Questioned at one point by Sem
ator Irving M. Ives of New York,
Mr.. Green said that leaders of the
American Federation of Labor
would be willing to sit down in con-
ference with members of the Sem
ate committee to discuss a possible
compromise on the entire question
of labor legislation.

from this sacred and glorious ex-
perience, will not by themselves
convince this generation of its
needs. It is the Christ-life, the
character of holiness of God ex-
pressed in our daily contact with
the sin-sick humanity which will
convince them of the reality of our
experience. The divine imperative
of the gospel has become the re-
sponsibility of full gospel youth to
the world.
"I pray you, in Christ stead, be
ye reconciled to God". We are not

Mr.. Davis who is especially gifted
in the art of arranging such af-
fairs feels tbs party tops all in the
25 years he has honored his wife

friend of the family, and whose
birthday fell on this day, shared

really amazed me, however! Did
YOU know that venetian blinds
were invented as long ago as 1872?
Well, they were - by a carpenter
named "Cocoht" in Paris and this
picture showed one of the first
blinds used, a haphazard arrange
ment of split wood Stats.
Back in those days, venetian
blinds were strictly luxury items
but now they're practically a
household necessity. And small
wonder, too, when we can choose
between metal, plastic, and wood
- all moderately priced .. almost
any color is available they're
easy to clean, smart looking and
'urable.

Laundry Workers
File Paw Suits

Legal actions to collect overtime
back pay for laundry workers were
filed last Friday in the U. S. Dis
trict Court in Phoenix. Suits were
filed against the Arizona Laundry,
Uneeda Linen Supply, Bell Laun-
dry and Phoenix. Linen Supply Co.
by eight employees, and "others
similarly situated"
It is expected there will be a
large number of employees in
volved by the time this suit goes
to trial, as workers from the en-
tire Phoenix area are contracting
union representatives regarding
their pay.
These Suits do not i'm any way
concern pOrtal-to-portal pay, but
are for overtime on work actual
ly performed and for which the
workers were not paid.
The Laundry Workers Interna-
tional Representative, Donald Hun
gate, has been working in the in
terest of the laundry workers in
Phoenix for some time, and since
the first of the year has had the
able assistance of Dan Longaker,
labor consultant, who for the past
few years has been with the Wages
and Hours Division of the United
States Department of Labor.
Both Hungate and Longaker
have had ample experience with
wages and hours violations, and
are meeting with all workers who
have been employed by the above
companies during the past year.

Look before you leap" is the
advice the Veterans Administration
is giving ex-GPs who are inclined
to rush headlong to convert their
term National Service Life Insur-
ance. Veterans are being cautioned
to wait until they are REASONABLY
sure of where they stand financial
ly before converting to permanent
policies.
VA points out that term policies
may be kept eight years from the
issue date if they were issued be-
fore January 1, 1916. Even policies
that were issued before January 1,
1916. Even policies that were is
sued after January 1, 1916 may be
kept five years.
The big thing for veterans to re-
member when thinking of convert
ing to permanent insurance is that
the type of policy they choose
should be suited to their income
and family responsibilities. Since
many veterans are at the present
time unable to determine these
things, they should hold on to their
term insurance until they are more
settled, VA says.
VA contact representatives at Of
fices located in Phoenix, Tucson,
Whipple, Yuma, Flagstaff, Globe,
Douglas and Window Rock, are
able to advise veterans on all types
of converted policies, the advan-
tages of each, and their cost. Be-
fore converting, VA says, veterans
should avail themselves of the SER
vices of the contact representative
nearest their home, or seek the ad-
vice of a commercial life insurance
concern.
QUESTION: II took out $4,000
NSLI policy in July of 1943; was
told at that time my wife, then 25,
could only be paid at the rate of
$3.50 per modnth for 20 years in
case of my death. Is it possible
now to arrange to have 81 900 of
my insurance paid out in cash
Also can I arrange for her to re-
ceive a larger income than $3.50
month";"
ANSWER: Yes, to both oues-
tions. Your wife may be paid 81 600
in cash, and the other $4,000 at the
rate of approximately $3.50 per
month over a period of about five
years.
