peace. If the London meeting were not concerned with a formal Italian offer to make peace, informed sources believed, it at least may have considered an initial Italian peace approach, possibly submitted by a third party.
Believed Urgent
The ministers also may have laid down a formal time limit for dealing with Badoglio, chief of state in the new Italian government, after which all bets would be regarded as off. While it is true that cabinet sessions may be summoned almost at any time, the fact that members had to be roused by telephone obviously implied that matters had arisen which required the most urgent consultation. The length of the meeting also indicated that some discussion and deliberation were necessary. If the Italians actually have approached the allies, at least several exchanges through third parties would be required before direct contact could be established between Rome and Algiers, Other possibilities were that the cabinet discussed some military question of an urgent nature involving Germany or communications from belligerents other than Italy, such as Hungary, Rumania or Bulgaria, but general belief was that the satellites would wait for Itaily to

Goering in Rome?
Meanwhile, radio Moscow was ‘heard broadcasting that German | Reichsmarshal Hermann W. Goer{ing arrived secretly in Rome, possibly to demand a showdown on Italy’s continued presence in the war on the side of the axis. Though Radio Rome was silent on : Eisenhower's peace offer, it characterized President Roosevelt and Churchill’s earlier demands for unconditional surrender as “too harsh.” Meanwhile European dispatches |said that 5000 officials and prominent members of the Fascist party ! have been taken into protective cus{tody in Italy as anti-fascist demon|strations spread in defiance of of[ficial threats of execution.

Jewett, is “moderately” active in politics, having stumped for Mayor Tyndall last year. Mayor Tyndall was not to be in his office today, Harry Calkins, his secretary, said. The secretary gave no explanation except to say that the mayor had been trying “to work in” a day off.
Stunned by Demand
Stunned by the weight of patron(age committee pressure on his job ling charged that he had been advised on several.occasions to “toss efficiency to the winds” in assigning “incompetent” city hall appointees to park department jobs.” Highlights of the park department shakeup: 1. The dismissal of Mr. Pottenger because of his alliance with Republican County Chairman Henry Os-
demonstrators carried red flags, sang | trom and the regular G, O. P. orthe internationale and shouted for ganization, and his personal friend-
ship with William Ayres, rabidly anti-city hall county commissioner. 2. The “firing” of Mr. Johnson reportedly for his activities in behalf of the senatorial ambitions of Homer E. Capehart, Indianapolis industrial« ist.
Wholesale Release Seen
3. The possible wholesale release of a number of park department job-holders given employment di rectly by Mr. Pottenger instead of by the patronage committee. Following a meeting of park board members and the patronage committee yesterday, it was reported that patronage string-puller Charles W. Jewett had vigorously demanded Mr. Pottenger's release, ostensibly because the park superintendent had failed to follow strict patrons age committee orders in hiring park employees.
Jewett Makes Charge
Mr. Jewett, it was said, accused Mr. Pottenger of dismissing certain pro-Tyndall workers because they allegedly were “incompetent.” The park superintendent today replied that in some instances jobseekers sent to him by the patronage group “were either too old or too decrepit” to perform their duties. He added that he “wouldn't be surprised” if many of his own personal park department ap-
pointees were dropped from the payroll as a result of the administration action yesterday. “When politics holds the reins” said Mr Pottenger, “the most effective use of the taxpayers’ money is of secondary importance. I'll say one thing. When they try to replace some of my own men with their patronage choices they'll find
King Victor Emmanuel and the new Italian government had yielded to a “massed clamor for peace at any price” to the extent of announcing that they were aiming for peace, but oply a peace that would permit Italy to be neutral and unoccupied.

they've got a real job on their hands.” Asserting that he “expected” to receive notification of his dismissal
from Mayor Tyndall, Mr. Pottenger said he preferred instead to resign because “nobody with brains would hold a job where he isn't welcome.” Mayor Tyndall, who has consistently minimized the role of politics in his administration, ‘was not inclined yesterday even to admit that Mr. Pottenger's status. was a subject of discussion at the special patronage session held in his office. Instead, he called the get-together “a routine meeting.” Mr. Johnson, whose position as park maintenance superintendent pays $2300 a year, said this morning that he believed his impending dismissal stemmed directly from patronage committee criticism of his campaign efforts in behalf of Mr. Capehart. This development was the first indication that “behind-the-scenes” forces in the city administration would oppose Mr. Capehart's senatorial candidacy, although it was expected in view of the fact that Patronage Overlord Jewett, himself, has senatorial ambitions.
Aided Tyndall
Last year, Mr. Capehart was instrumental in raising ocumpaign funds in behalf of Mayor Tyndall's primary campaign. Mr. Johnson, a strong Tyndall partisan in both the primary and general elections, recently launched a poll of Mr. Capehart's popularity. This, it was understood, was frowned upcn by some city hall stalwarts, namely Mr, Jewett and his followers. 2 The patronage committee's assault against park board “outcasts” came swiftly yesterday in the wake of rumors indicating that the municipal spoils dispensers were becoming highly impatient with the park department personnel situation. Lack of trained staffs has hindered the planned expansion of the Indianapolis recreation system. Mr. Pottenger, however, blames this on
not in his refusal to hire every job candidate named by the patronage politicos.
Emmelman Left Out
“During the last two months virtually every person {he patronage committe has sent me has been 65 years old or more,” he averred. Park Board President Paul Rathert said the board had no objections to Mr. Pottenger and no serious criticism of park department operation. An old-line Republican county organization supporter, Mr. Pottenger was named park superintendent in a “political deal” which was to have sent Tyndallite Lee Emmelman over to the county

good graces. Ear-to-the-grounders say that
while the city hall group fulfilled its part of the contract, the county organization “backed out,” leaving

in respect to Italy” during the sum-| mer recess, which begins early next month, Serious riots continued in the northern industrial city of Milan and on the Istrian peninsula, opposite. northern Jugoslavia, but there were no further reports of German and Italian troop movements in the northern area. | Informed sources here were inclined to doubt Madrid reports that! two Italian army corps had been | dispatched to oppose the entrance! of further German troops through the Brenner pass. Doubt also was cast on reports that the Germans were reinforcing their garrisons in northern Italy, though it was considered likely that Nazi forces have been massed along the frontier ready to move should Badoglio suddenly side with the allies.
Workers Rebel
A German Transocean broadcast acknowledged that a general strike was continuing in Milan and reported that Vito Mussolini, a nephew of the deposed premier, had gone in hiding there with other Fascists. Bitter anti-Italian demonstra tions among 600,000 Croats were reported continuing on the Istrian peninsula, which was taken frors Austria and given to Italy in 1018

able to those inflicted on the Western front in the first world war. If the present allied momentum
can be kept up and increased—and |
shipping is probably the chief fac-
| tor therein—chances for repetition
of 1018 certainly are within the realm of possibility. It should not be overlooked that the Russians now are fighting under personal command of Premier Josef Stalin, Eastern front reports indicate that the German withdrawal is slowly under way. Thus Germany is faced with miltiary defeat in the East, desertion of her principal ally and shattering air blows at the heart of the homeland. The war has been compared to a snowball rolling down hill. Unless Hitler can halt the snowball before it gets too far, the odds lengthen each day that he never can stop it.
VICTORY IN THE OLD PAPER BAG!
Old bags, boxes, newspapers, and brown wrapping paper are helping win the war, so save and
under the Versailles treaty. An Italian frontier report said that Italian troops and Croatian units had been rushed to Trieste and the frontier city of Fiume to put down the demonstrations, and a Stockholm dispatch asserted German troops also had been sent to the area. Madrid dispatches said Italians throughout the country were ripping down Fascist emblems and photographs of Mussolini,
