Italian Move
Termed Start
Of Bandwagon
By JOHN M. 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.

the daily checkup to see how many

' Some concerns tell all who will

: The little " advertising 'placard
