its broadcasts to the Italian people is urging passive resistance, but not revolution, ’ “Things are going to pieces, but there is no prospect of an immediate revolution,” he said. “There ‘may be local riots, however, War weariness and lack of sympathy for the Germans will play an important part in the whole picture.”

‘A whole series of drastic new|

decrees have been promulgated by:

effort to restore calm and prepare -the country for the increasing allied pressure.

Death to Leave Job

Italian workers were placed under|

a drastic civil mobilization decree under which they are liable to be shot if they absent themselves from their jobs. Schools were ordered closed from Dec. ¥ to Feb. 15 to facilitate the evacuation of children from cities and to conserve fuel. Bern dispatches said 50,000 children had been moved out of Milan.

All civilian rail traffic was halted

except by special permit. Resorts],

and hotels were being evacuated to provide room for children and civilians removed from bomb target cities. Hurried efforts were being made to augment Italy's short-handed civilian defense setup to avoid the disorganization and panic which has attended the big R. A. F. attacks on northern industrial centers. .

Only One Plane Lost

The latest attack on Turin was carried out by an R. A. F. force of unknown size. The bombers had clear weather for their raid and results were described as good. Only one plane failed to return.

The Rome communique called the raid “violent” and said it caused

number of victims had not been ascertained. Rome said the missing British bomber had crashed in one of the city’s main streets, killing the crew of seven.

The fact that only one bomber failed to return indicated that German reinforcement of Italian antiaircraft defenses, promised by Mussolini last week, so far was not effective.

Perhaps to keep the help from arriving, the R. A. F. on Sunday night bombed German railroad centers at Karlsruhe and Pforzheim, on the main and alternate lines into Italy. Last night’s blasting of Tunis and Reggio, along with the American attack on Naples, gave new emphasis to the warning of Prime Minister Winston Churchill on Nov. 29 that Italians must decide whether to get out of the war or undergo scientific, thorough' and continuous bombing from both England and Africa.

"TAFT MOVE FOR

"BIKE FAILS

{Sought to Lay Groundwork

For Ohio Governor by

Electing Schroeder. (Continued from Page One) the clash of personal ambitions—

land it was valid to the extent that

Senator Taft is a former isolationist and that such elements within the party naturally gravitate toward him,

It is true, too, that Mr. Schroeder,

{despite denials, was the candidate

‘of the Chicago Tribune, chief organ of the isolationists. But there was more to it than

that. Plan Worked in Past

There was chiefly th& Taft plot to put over Governor Bricker by garnering the southern delegations well in advance as a nucleus. This procedure has proved potent in the past—for instance, in the nomination in 1912 of the senator's own father, William Howard Taft. This leads to that skeleton in the Republican closet—the “kept” delegations of the south. To effectuate this part of the plot, Senator Taft needed a friendly chairman who would see that delegations from the south committed to Governor Bricker were seated at the convention in ‘44. There are always contesting delegations from the south, “kept” by rival aspirants. The national committee has the final word on these contests. One has to go no further than the vote for chairman at the meeting here to reveal the plot, though plenty of supporting evidence has come to this writer. 5 Southerners .Balked Of the 39 votes on the first ballot for Mr. Schroeder, 15 came from the south—from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia — with others mostly from the midwest. Five southern committeemen refused to go along for Mr. Schroeder, refused to be parties to the system which has for so long been abhorrent to many Republicans in the south, " These were Mrs. Pearl Wates, Alabama; Stewart Kramer, who carried a proxy from North Carolina; Wilson Williams, Georgia committeeman, who has fought the system continually; Mrs. Bertha M. Field, Georgia committeewoman, and Mrs. Myra Fairfield Brown, Florida. Mrs. Brown was subjected to threats in four or five telephone calls from Taft machine representatives in Florida, that she would be ousted as committeewoman if she

BLAST JAP WARSHIP OFF NEW GUINEA

GEN. MacARTHUR’'S HEADQUARTERS, ‘Australia, Dec. 9 (U. P.).—Allied heavy bombers on the New Guinea front blasted almost at its source a seventh Japanese naval attempt to reinforce the dwindling enemy garrison at Buna, it was announced today. Medium bombers at the same time went back to Lae, main Japanese fighter base on New Guinea, and gave it another battering. The heavy bombers caught a strong Japanese destroyer convoy off Cape St. George, New Ireland, in the passage between New Britain and New Ireland, 400 miles north of Buna. Heavy bombs were spewed around the ships. The leading destroyer was hit and another was listing badly from near misses as the convoy fled.

An Indianapolis bombardier, 2d Lieut. Norman J. Linne, was among six army men killed yesterday in the crash. of a bomber into the bay near Tampa, Fla. Lieut. Linne was the son of Mr.

Mrs. Iona Jones Linne. He was 22. Lieut. Linne’s father. advised of his son's death by wire irom MacDill field, from where the bomber had operated, said it was making a practice bombing run when the accident happened. The crash occurred about 50 yards off-shore and was witnessed by more than 100 persons. The MacDill field public relations office said that the other dead were: Second Lieut. John E. Williams, pilot, Los Angeles, Cal.; 2d Lieut. Clarence O. Parsons, Electra, Tex.; Staff Sergt. John Mazzarino, New York city; Sergt. Samuel G. Lamond, Philadelphia, Pa., and Staff Sergt. David H. Brown, Monongahela, Pa. Lieut. Linne, a former Technical high school football star, had attended Indiana university for three years when he enlisted in the air corps Dec. 17, 1941. He was trained as a master bombardier. He was married Sept. 11, 1942, and Mrs. Linne moved to Tampa, Fla., to be with her husband. Before her marriage she had been a supervisor of nurses at St. Vincent's hospital. In addition to :his parents and wife, Lieut. Linne is survived by a brother, Arthur, a student at the Indianapolis College of Pharmacy. He has enlisted in the V-7 class

Taft Rules Others

In the past this form of vengeance has been common. Mostly, such threats work. The other southern committeemen are at Senator Taft's beck and call. All they need is “the word.” R. B. Creager, Texas committeeman, is a czar of three states, in effect. He delivers the votes of the committee members from Arkansas and Louisiana. Perry Howard, Mississippi national committeeman, is on the senator’s pay roll. The handy man for the Taft maching 'is* John Marshall, a West Virginian formerly with the justice department in Washington during Republican regimes. He now lives in Washington. He was in charge of rounding up southern delegations for Senator Taft in 1940. Mr. Marshall was much in evidence a, the theeting here. But the Taft plot did not come off as planned.

Willkie Spoiled Plan

It seems to be conceded that the Taft-Schroeder forces had 35 votes before the meeting started, a majority. But they were whittled down, partly through the missionary work of Willkie representatives on the committee, partly through the efforts of other members who did not want'to see the committee elect a man publicly branded as an isolationist. : Harrison E. Spangles of Towa, who was elected, is an old-line conservative, regular Republican, who probably would be inclined more toward the Taft view of things national and international than toward that of Mr. Willkie. Senator Taft's renunciation in favor of Governor Bricker is being explained here as dictated by circumstances. - That is, ‘the governor is now a much more powerful figure in Ohio than the senator. The senator, as things now k, will need the governor's help. get reelected to the senate in 1943.

IN AFRICAN FIGHTING

Times Special

morial services were held here today for Chaplain Clement M. Falter, a lieutenant in the army and a former professor at St. Joseph's college here, who was killed Nov. 8 while landing with American Sroops in North Africa.

The Very Rev. Aloys Dirksen, president of the college, said he had been advised by the war department that Chaplain Falter was killed near Casablanca when his troop ship was attacked by dive bombers; Solemn Requiem services were held at 10:30 a. m. today in the college chapel, the Most Rev. John F. Noll, bishop of the diocese of Ft. Wayne presiding. Tomorrow Solemn Pontifical Requiem services will be offered for Father Falter gt st.
