Labor Heads Get Uneasy; And the Duce’s Troubles Increase, Too: °

. MOSCOW, June 1 (U. P)-In. ternal trouble both in Germany| and Italy, mi the form of protests against Fascist rule, is causing Anxfety among axis leaders, the official Soviet news agency Tass reported today. Activities by organizations within the Reich which tend to destroy the unity of the German people, and growing discontent among cer fain sections of the Italian people, were quoted by Tass as being the chief problem the Fascist leaders

face. Commenting on the latest article published in Red Angriff by Nasi labor leader Robert Ley, the Russian agency said Ley had admit. ted there was an expansion of antl. Hitler organizations within the Reich.

Strong in Labor Circles

These groups, said to be particularly strong in German labor circles, take the form of anti-Hitler political factions - which tend to undermine the unity of the people, according to the Tass version of the article. It was said that in many ingtances, opposition had cropped up among representatives of the German “labor front,” and that some of these agents were opposing ine gtructions issued by Ley personally. This, the report said, had led to recent reshuffling of labor rep- , Pesentatives. As for Italy, Tass reported that journalistic quarters in Geneva believe a sharp aggravation of the internal political: picture prompted Benito Mussolini to take an irreconcilable stand against France and demand the immediate annexation of Corsica, Tunisia and Nice.

Italy Demands Share

WASHINGTON, June 1 (U. P).— now smashing rifies. They bring in

The men of Corregidor “bawled like babies” when the hour of surrender came.

This was revealed on the official

hour radio program yesterday when an unedited transcript of radio messages that came from Ft. Mills, Corregidor, during the hours just before surrender, May 6, was released.

Here are the last messages sent

by the radio operator at Ft. Mills on May 5, 1042:

MANY OFFICERS T

RETIRE JU JUNE 30

Most of 200 W Will Return. To Active Army Duty

Following Day.

WASHINGTON, June 1 (U. P). —More than 300 brigadier generals, colonels and officers of lesser rank are scheduled for compulsory retires ment June 30 because of age, but most of the will be ordered to active duty again on the following it was learned today. : officers, mostly colonels, must be retired under the provisions of a law enacted June 13, 1940. Tht law provided that on June 30, 1942, all brigadier generals of the line who are then 82 years of age or over and ail promotion-list officers who are then 80 or over must be retired. It has been the war department's policy to recall for active service from the retired list those officers whose services gre requested by superior officersas well as those needed for specific jobs.

Many to Be Recalled

Because of the need for general officers .and colonels in the vastly expanded army, it was believed that at least 76 per cent of those scheduled for retirement at the end of June will immediately be re called to active duty. The retirements will represent only the smallest fraction of the army’s officer strength. There are nearly 175,000 officers in the army now and more are being trained rapidly because of plans to increase the army's strength to nearly 4,500,000 by the end of this year. Under the retirement law, the secretary of war may keep on active duty a number of colonels who would otherwise be retired, provided their number is not greater than 5 per cent of the total number of colonels on the promotion list. However, they must be vetired when they reach the age of 62.

Anti-war sentiments in Italy also were said to have been an incentive - for Mussolini to strive for greater voice in foreign policy in order to strength his prestige and vindicate the sacrifices which war has brought. Prominent Fascist leaders and generals reportedly are criticizing Il Duce for the fruitfulness of their two-year war, and accusing him of inability to satisfy Italian claims. The outcome of the Balkan war also is said to have caused Mussolini’s trouble. It was reported that since all hope of territorial expansion there had failed because of Germany's resolute stand, Mussolini decided to embark on the only alternative course—maximum pressure on France, even threats of armed attack.
