Incidentally, Mrs. Miller, has not been told that authorities are detaining her husband.

He wore a red sweater. Mrs. Miller sid she ‘had never seen the youth before. - Who is he? Why did he throw acid into the eyes of a woman who had never seen him before? Where did he get the sulphuric acid? These are but a few of the questions .to which police seek the answer in the strange crime No. 2 against Rose Marie Miller, a crime that has puzzled the entire city and brought literally hundreds of manifestations of sympathy from friends and persons who do not even know the attractive young housewife. * Rose Marie herself knows little or nothing about the city’s sympathetic interest,” so closely has she been shielded against distractions. Only the closest of friends have been admitted to her room, where flowers have been sent by intimates as well as strangers.

At other times, Mrs. Hicks said, Rose Marie has emerged from a light stupor with wild gesticulations toward the window. Her frail body shaking, she has insisted that “someone's coming through the wintow and he’s got something in his hand.” Yesterday, for the first time, Rose Marie began what appeared to be an uphill climb in her battle against pain and an agonizing doubt. over her eyesight. She talked freely with her mother about. returning to her war plant job, discussed the possibility of plastic remedy for her facial disfigurement and requested a salad which had been her favorite at home.

However, a non-Italian traveler who has just arrived in Madrid from Rome said German military

authorities were delaying the evacuation of military targets from Rome, though the Italians were demilitarizing the city as rapidly as they could. Other reports reaching Madrid said public services in Milan, Turin and Genoa still have not been repaired following the disastrous British raids early this month. German strength in northern Italy was estimated in Madrid at 25 divisions, approximately 375,000 men. An Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Zurich said municipal authorities at Como, an Italian town just

All hospital installations evacuated from Milan have been: set up in Como in converted schools and factories, it was said. “Factories working for the Italian army have been compelled to cease production,” Como authorities were quoted. “All troops, including staffs, ‘have been removed from the town.

NO DEFENSE’ IS PLEA FOR 30 COAL MINERS

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 26 (U. P.. —Harry A. Estep, counsel for 30 coal miners, charged with violation

of the Smith-Connally war labor disputes act, announced today he will enter pleas of “no defense” in behalf of the indicted miners when they are brought to trial here Sept. 1 on charges of instigating strikes in government-operated mines. The first defendants to face prosecution under the recently enacted anti-strike law thus will throw themselves on the mercy of the federal court instead of facing a trie? that would have lasted for six weeks. The law provides maximum penalties of a year in jail, $5000 fine, or both. The defendants are minor officers or members of John L. Lewis’ United Mine Workers. The decision to plead nolo contendere came after Federal Judge

Hitler was said to have berated Mussolini for entering ‘the war against an already beaten France, for invading Albania and attacking Greece so that Germany was compelled to send its armies into the Balkans. According to the story of the meeting, Hitler also reminded Mussolini that Germany had offered

In ‘Conqueror’ Role Mussolini was said to have gone to El Alamein, apparently hoping to ride into Alexandria on a white charger at the head of his troops. Grandi kept minutes on the dictators’ conference and took a copy for himself, it was said: After the discouraging talks with Hitler, Mussolini was reported to have given the Fascist grand council the impression that Hitler had promised unlimited assistance and to have said that all should be confident of victory. Then, it was said, Grandi interrupted Mussolini's speech and read the minutes of the conference to thecouncil. There were cries of “high treason” and many accusations were hurled at Mussolini, Demanded Decision After 10 hours of heated discussion, Mussolini asked for two or three hours in which to consider demands for his resignation but the council demanded an immediThe session finally broke up when Mussolini was summoned before King Victor Emmanuel. The king was said to have béén secretly informed by Grandi of the situation and te have demanded that Mussolini sign the resignation.
