‘|lando and Taormini meant that
under cover of fierce rear guard action in some sectors the Nazis were pulling out altogether from the Caronian mountains and even from the strategic slopes of Mt. Etna. The new line was being drawn up with a long-shot hope of holding the highway just behind it, the last north-south road of any consequence still in axis hands. Strong units of the Hermann Goering division had shifted up to the northern sector to ‘strengthen the 29th German motorized division, which opposed the American 7th army.

At ‘Important Stage’ Wilson Broadbent, diplomatic correspondent of the London Daily Mail, said consultations among the British, American and Russian governments were “about to reach the final important stage.” With the allies smashing final resistance; ‘in - Sicily and with vast areas of northern Italy’s three most important industrial cities in ruins from Saturday night's air raids, London sources believed the stalling of the two-week-old Italian government of Marshal Pietro Badoglio may be nearing an. end. An Italian frontier report said thousands of anti-Badoglio pamphlets calling for a general strike beginning today as a protest against the government's failure to make peace were distributed in Milan, Turin and Genoa following the air raids. An underground radio station identifying itself as “Free Milan” was heard broadcasting, “we must make peace straight away if we want to save ourselves. The people who succeeded in chasing Mussolini will rise again and chase Badoglio to obtain peace . . . either we make peace or we die!”
LONDON, Aug. 9 (U. P)~— Fritz Sauckel, Nazi manpower chief, told a Paris audience yesterday that he had seen Adolf Hitler in the last few days and had found him “composed, calm and full of confidence in final victory, the German official news agency reported. Sauckel said that Germany was living ' through its greatest but hardest period. He blamed “Jewish propaganda” for reports that an internal German collapse was near.
Badoglio was reported to have offered to surrender if the allies would agree not to use Italy as a base for an attack on Germany. The allies presumably replied with an adamant demand for Italy's unconditional surrender. The nature of any new Italian peace offer was not known. Observers in Stockholm speculated thaf Nazi fears of a military coup in Germany to overthrow Hitler, or a demand from the military for a guarantee that the Nazi party
prosecution of the war prompted the coyncil at Hitler's headquarters, but they acknowledged that this might be'wishful thinking.
Reports Vary
A wide variety of reports of business transacted or discussed at the Nazi conference reached London. Among them were: 1. Hitler sought to pressure Japanese ambassador hi Oshima, who atfended, into persuading his

The conference ordered German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop to keep Italy fighting as long as possible to enable the Germans to prepare military positions in northern Italy and shorten defenses in the Balkans. 3. The military conimand proposed shortening the Russian front by a withdrawal to the Dnieper river line, .or even farther west. 4. The conference entrusted the Nazi party with the task of strengthening home morale in the
face of intensified allied bombing
raids. Goes to Italy
Italian frontier reports said that German Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, supreme commander of the German armed forces, went from the meeting to Verona in northern Italy to confer with high Italian army officials, presumably to inform them of how much aid Germany could »rovide should Ital remain in the war. Keitel and the Italian officers also may have dealt with the replacement of Italian forces in -Erance and the Balkans with German troops. Confirmation was said to have reached Bern that the Germans already were taking over from the Italians in southeastern France. Ribbentrop and Italian Foreign Minister / Raffaele Guariglia were understood to have gone to Verona following initial conferences in
