RAID POLICY SAME, CHIEF TELLS REMY

Police Chief Beeker today told the safety board that while he had reached an “understanding” with Prosecutor Sherwood Blue on law inforcement issues, that the police department's policy on raids and arrests remains the same, He made the statement in reply to a question Board President Will Remy, who referred to newspaper reports of a co-operative agreement between the chief and prosecutor following a series of discussions. Mr. Blue had earlier criticized the police department for engaging in “hundreds” of illegal arrests and raids.

He was blown overboard by the explosion of a near hit from a Japanese shell and was injured in the face with shrapnel. In the early part of the war he was on convoy duty in the Pacific and made several trips to Australia. He was in the battle of the Coral sea and the ship on which he was aboard at Dutch Harbor was damaged. Last October he was transferred to the Atlantic. 2 = =

{ grave new cracks elsewhere.

Nazis Retaliate

The planes roared in through clouds of smoke rolling up from Hamburg's smashed war factories, battered day and night by British and American bombers which have dropped more than 6000 tons of explosives on the continent since Saturday. Enemy planes made weak retaliatory attacks that caused a 30minute air alarm in London last night and slight damage in some East Anglian and southeast England towns. One enemy plane was shot down. The Fortress sweep over Hamburg was only part of American operations yesterday. They also attacked Hanover, 112 miles west of Berlin, and the important harbors of Wilhelmshaven and Wesermunde, Twenty-three bombers and three fighters were missing. More than 50 enemy planes were shot down by the Fortresses, bringing the toll of enemy planes credited to Americans since the three-day offensive began to more than 100. Brig. Gen. Frederick L. Anderson, chief of the 8th air ferce bomber command, said the U. S. part in the operations had been carried out with only normal losses.

Rubber Stock Damaged

Great destruction was inflicted on the German reserve rubber stock in Monday's Fortress attack on the Gumminwerke rubber tire factory at Hannover. A column of fire and smoke rose to 20,000 feet. The official report was based on aerial photographs of the target. The factory was rocked by explosions. Smoke and fire blanketed the city. A serious decrease in rubber production would show quickly on the German military machine—probably more rapidly than almost any other type of military manufacture. The photos showed also that direct hits were scored on the main Hannover railway station and oil burner factory,

been “too close” with C. I. O. officials in reaching inter-departmental understandings. Reports from informed quarters say that protests by the mayor's patronage committee may have the effect of forcing the release of these “overlords” by the administration. Although issues thrashed out in the union-works board confabs are of interest to a public naturally concerned with the efficient and unimpaired functioning of municipal agencies, they have been withheld from this public at the persistent request of Mr. Blain, who gives no reason for his action. Other members, Walter Hemphill, works board vice president, have steadily opposed veiling of the “negotiations” in secrecy, but so far Mr. Blain's “undercover” policy has prevailed.

Demonstrations Hinted

A peculiar circumstance developed in connection with reports of demonstrations—some disorderly— against Fascists in Italy.

The pilots methodically picked off they, slow planes. In addition to the 21 transports, five of the escoris were shot down.

Turkey predicted that Marshal Pietro Badoglio would try to make, Italy a neutral instead of a non-| belligerent, which would mean the! country could not be used as a base! for allied operations and thereby would be spared from German] bombing.

Fascism Not Popular

Most sections of the Turkish pub- | lic found considerable satisfaction! in the ousting of Mussolini as Italian premier since Fascism never was popular in Turkey. | General rejoicing over the ouster of Benito Mussolini was reported | sweeping Italy today and five new! political parties, uniting in a common front, demanded by implication that Italy quit the war. Mussolini's whereabouts still were | a mystery. “Reliable sources” in| Madrid said he, along with Fascist | General Secretary Carlo Scorza and other party prominents, had been detained under police protection at a villa near Rome, while a | Bern dispatch asserted he had been interned at Villa D’Este, near Lake Como, in northern Italy. A proclamation by five new Italian parties, the first to be established in Italy since the Fascists banned all opposition parties 20 years ago, demanded the “inexorable” punishment of Mussolini and | all others responsible for dragging Italy into a “war which was unwished and forced upon us.” The proclamation was published | in the Turin newspaper Stampa, a| copy of which was smuggled out] of Italy into Switzerland, and was| signed by the National, Christian] Democracy, Communist, Liberal and | Socialist parties. Italian sources in Bern interpreted the proclamation as a direct attack on the statement of Marshal Pietro Badoglio, new chief of gov-| ernment, that Italy would ‘“‘con-| tinue the war.” Other Italian newspapers reach-, ing Switzerland, as well as Rome broadcasts, reported jubilation] sweeping Italy and widespread demonstrations of loyalty to King Victor Emmanuel and Badoglio, though these reports obviously were designed to convince the world that the Italian people were unanimously behind their new government,

i

Purge Demanded

Swiss reports also said that Italians were throwing away Fascist party insignia and demanding that the new government speed a purge of Fascist officials. Industrial workers in northern Italy were said to be threatening to strike unless Fascist members of the staff and organizing committees were removed. One Bern report said that many Fascist officials already had been arrested and placed in protective custody. Virginio Gayda, long known as Mussolini's “mouthpiece,” was displaced as chief editor of the Rome newspaper Gicrnale D’Italia, the German radio said, and ieplaced with Senator Alberto Bargamini, 72, founder of the newspaper in 1901, and its editor until 1924.

Buttons Removed

Madrid said that Italian officials and businessmen were removing Fascist buttons from their coat lapels as though they were “hot coals.” The Milan newspaper Gazzetta, according to a Bern dispatch, said that thousands of persons attacked the office of Mussolini's newspaper Popolo D'Italia, while the famous “lair” at Milan in which the former duce drafted plans for Fascism as long ago as 1919 was sacked and burned. The Gazzetta also said that various Fascist clubs end headquarters in central Italy were burned, especially in the Bologna area.
