HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON, Oct Washington interpreted the Bado glio declaration of war against Germany today as the start of a bandwagon movement that could leave the nazis completely isola ted and internally shaken. Nobody expected decisive, di rect military aid, at least not im mediately. Typical of congressional com ments on the Italian - action are these: Senator McKellar (D-Tenn) "I'm not surprised, and I expect others will . want to get on the bandwagon soon. I hope that Por tugal, Spain and Sweden all will be climbing on the wagon before long." . Speaker Rayburn (D-Tex) "X am glad to see thai; the liberty loving people of Italy have lined up with the other liberty-loving people of the world." Rep. Martin of Massachusetts, republican floor leader "The declaration should speed up the winning of the war against Ger many. -' Rep. Bolton (R-Ohio) "The psychological effect on German morale should be terrific." Italian co-belligerency with the United Nations is accepted on all sides as a powerful propaganda weapon, but the amount of mili tary assistance the nation can ren der remains to be seen.
