Radio Claims Mussolini's Son-in-Law Now in + Germany.
LONDON, Aug. 30 (U. P.)—A German underground radio station said today that Count Galeazzo Ciano, former Italian foreign minister and son-in-law of Benito Mussolini, has reached Germany after escaping from police guards in Rome with his wife and three children. The broadcast, intercepted by the London Daily Telegraph listening post, said Ciano had passed through Innsbruck, just north of the Brenner pass, and continued by automobile toward Munich, It was presumed that his wife, Countess Edda, daughter of Mussolini, and their children were with him. At the same time, reports reached Madrid that Clara Petacci, known in Rome as Mussolini’s mistress, and a sister had been arrested near Novara, 30 miles west of Milan. The sisters, who fled Rome when Mussolini was deposed, were be-
large sums of money from various government departments under the Fascist regime. Fled in Disguise

He stepped down from the foreign ministry last February and became ambassador to the Vatican, holding the position until forced to resign last month following his mentor’s ouster.

FROM G. M. WAR WORKERS
...and General Motors Is Rewarding That Spirit at the Rate ofa Million Dollars a Year
In all of its 112 plants in 50 cities of the United States and Canada, General Motors encourages employe suggestions for aiding war production, through a carefully planned system of awards. * General Motors has always welcomed suggestions from employes. In fact, there have been similar suggestion plans in various G.M. plants for years, and it was thought that an expansion - of these plans in these ‘times would. increase “war production efficiency.
Something Better, Faster
Americans are always interested in n finding ways to do things better and faster.
This American spirit among General Motors men and women—now also increased by: desire to help win Victory and to back the men at the war fronts-abcounts for their i inspiring performance.
‘There must be a a great inward satisfaction for all who have submitted suggestions, in the realization that they have made some effort out of the ordinary to help win the war,
They can say of themselves, as General’ Motors says—“Victory Is Our Business!”
As a result, GM. war workers have to date contributed 116,170 written ideas. Yes, written ideas. Many of them good ideas, “Victory Ideas.” Nearly 20,000 of them have been winning ideas and have been put into operation. For the open mind policy of General Motors accords a fair test to every suggestion,
Eight thousand four hundred ideas were submitted the very first month. They are now coming in at a monthly rate of better than 10,000, or
a yearly rate of one idea for every three ol onl
Thus, the individual war workers of General Motors are being given full opportunity to add their bit to the continuing contributions of management, supervision and engineering, in those activities which deal with increasing production, saving materials, lowering costs and Promoting plant safety.

- Helping Those Who Help America In the first 15 months’ operation of its plan to reward workers for ideas that assist our war effort, General Motors paid out $660,895 in War Bonds and Stamps. ‘And today the awards are being made atthe rate of better than 2 million: dollars a year.
General Motors considers that money well spent. It is a merited reward to those who help America. It is a proper incentive for individual initiative. It is one form of appreciation to those who think as they work—who are not content
