Six Divisions Held
It was officially estimated that
three and a half German divi

unit destroyed by the Russians
at Stalingrad.
This division was rushed across
the Messina Strait in a desperate
' effort to bolster the rearguard
action raging along the east
coast.

One Italian political source in
London, who cannot be further
identified, predicted that Italy
would be out of the war against
the allies within a week. Others
were not so optimistic.
This source credited the bomb
ing of Rome and related events,
particularly the Vatican radio's
denial of axis propaganda con
cerning the raid, for the an
nounced "resignation" of Mus
solini and his replacement by
a veteran, 71-year-old soldier
who was one of the dictator's
critics and a close friend of the
king.

Andrea Simoni. secretary of
the Free Italian movement in
London, said: 'The king cer

his side, some of whom did not
like him. Getting Italy out of
the war Is naturally extremely
popular with the people."

In 1940 the militiamen began

LONDON, July 28 (AP

of home affairs of the Polish

he had information that the
Germans were preparing de
fense lines in Lublin province
in Poland, roughly 400 miles be
hind their present line in Rus

He said his underground in

rail and telephone communica
tion had been suspended be
tween Lublin province and the
rest of Poland and that mass
murders were being committed
by the Germans to rid the area
of its Polish population.
He estimated In the entire
war to May 1 that 1,800,000
Polish Jews and 1,400,000 other
Poles were killed by the Ger
mans. ' "In the event the fall ot
Mussolini breaks down tho
whole fascist system, Poland
may have to take up arms very
soon," Banaczyk told a press

Frank Report
The Conference of Alcoholic
Beverage Industries. Inc., of
New York City, put out a re
port frankly discussing the sit
uation. It pointed out the fol
lowing facts:
Not a single drop of whiskey
Is being distilled In the country
today, and none has been dis
tilled since 1042. Existing sup
plies must last until after the
war.
War Uses
Distilling facilities are work-
Ing night and day, seven days aO
week, producing nothing but
alcohol for war purposes for
the government. The entire in
dustry converted to this func
tion in answer to critical war
requirements, for smokeless
powder, chemical warfare ma
terials, medical supplies and
synthetic rubber.
At of February 28, 1043,
there were 404.000,000 gallons
of whiskey In storage, enough
to last about two years at the
present rote of demand.
Conservation It regarded as
the only possible answer to as
sure retailers and consumers a
reasonable supply of alcoholic
beverages for the duration of
the war. Many state monopolies
(such as Oregon) have already
put rationing plant Into effect.
in open states, voluntary ra
tioning Is being adopted by
wholesalers and retailers.
Equal Distribution
Every effort Is being made to
distribute supplies equitably
and to avoid discrimination. In
some states, a temporary ad
vantage was gained because
wholesalers and retailers used
every possible financial re
source to stock up prior to the
conversion of distilleries Into
war production.
The beverage conference re
port voiced the opinion that "If
consumers will buy moderately
and drink moderately, thev
will assure themselves a
reasonable supply of whiskey
for all normal needs." Every
one concerned, the conference
said, Is entitled to know the
facts.
