Victor Emmanuel, 78, Deposed

ALEXANDRIA. Egypt, Dec. 90

Savoy and nearly brought about

A dispatch from Lisbon said his son
Umberto, who succeeded him as King
for one month, until the Italians
threw out the monarchy, planned to

Victor Emmanuel, esteemed by
his people after World War I, came
under the domination of Mussolini
in 1922 when the latter marched on
Rome and the king summoned him
to form a cabinet.
BadogIio Denied Troops.
At the time, it was reported,
Marshal Pietro Badoglio asked the
King to give him few regiments
to smash the Black Shirt uprising,
but was turned down because the
King wanted to avoid bloodshed.
During the ensuing years, the s.
foot-3 monarch signed a long series
of Fascist DEGREES.
The picture finally changed in
July, 1943. when Allied victories IN
the Mediterranean theater showed
Italy's true weakness, and Victor
Emmanuel played major role in
unseating the dictator.
When he found asylum with the
Allies, Victor Emmanuel denounced
Mussolini and Hitler. The Italians
remembered too keenly his previous
loyalties. however, and called for
his abdication.
In 1914. when the Allies took
Rome, the King surrendered his
power to Umberto as lieutenant gen.
eral of the realm, move which
made him King in name only.
Finally Abdicated in 1916.
Public feeling remained hostile,
and in a final move to save the
House of Savoy Victor Emmanuel,
on May 9, 1916, signed document
of abdication in favor of Umberto
and sailed with his wife to Alex
andria. A month later the Italians
voted in a republican form of gov
ernment.

to the throne on July 90, 1900. when

DR.. Sneh said fatty that the

no more refugee ships should sail
from Black Sea ports, where thou
sands of visaless Jews are re-
ported awaiting shipment to Pales-
tine in defiance of British immigra-
ton restrictions.
Unofficial informants said the
agency had acted under pressure
from London and Washington
which were represented as anxious
to prevent further illegal immigra-
ton in the light of the tense situa-
ton already existing in Palestine.
There was every indication, how
ever, that the shipments would be
continued despite the agency's
order. Last night an immigrant
ship carrying 683 visaless Jewish
refugees arrived in Haifa under
British naval escort. The refugees
were prepared Immediately for de-
