By RICHARD D. M'MILLAX
United Slates Staff Correspondent
LONDON, Oct. 20 (UP) Pre
mier Benito Mussolini, running op
against a dangeroua Franco-British
threat, dropped his defiant
attitude tonight and agreed to
collabarate In a plan to withdraw
his fascist black shirts and other
foreign "volunteers' from Spain.
II D uee's conciliatory gesture,
which came as a surprise even to
Italian diplomats In Rome, held
out hopes of Bolving a three-way
deadlock within fhe non-intervention
committee and averting a
crisis crammed with possibilities
ot war.
Progress Seen
The non-intervention delegates,
quick to aeize upon Italy's con
sent to sending a neutral "volun
teers" commission to Spain at
once, agreed that it constituted
a substantial degree of progress'
and asked that immediate ateps
be taken to put the proposals into
operation.
Italy and Germany announced
that they bad withdrawn their
objections to Franco-British pro
posals whereby belligerent righte
will be withheld from Spanish
tactions until '"token" withdraw
als of volunteers have been car
ried out. Until today the Rome
Berlin axis demanded simultan
eous recognition of belligerency.
Three Point
Statesmen believed that Musso
lini, s&able to budge Britain and
France from their demands that
he clear out of Spain, had come
to the conclusion that be could
: count on no further capitulations
to his policy.
The new Italian proposal pro
vides: 1 Immediate dispatch of a
commission to Spain to estimate
tbe numbers of volunteers In both
the Insurgent and loyalist ranks,
and finding the most feasible
means of withdrawing them.
