Page Two THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON/S. C. Thursday, June 8, 1944 KING VITTORIO STEPS ASIDE AS ITALIAN MONARCH J Naples, June 5. — King Vittorio; Emmanuele III stepped aside as mon arch of Italy today as he previously [ had said he would do upon the lib-1 eration of Rome and handed to his 30-year-old son. Crown Prince Um-j' berto. all “royal prerogatives.” Italian political pressure had been brought to bear against him since the conquest of Naples, i jln a decree signed by himself and countersigned by Preqiier Marshal 1 Pietro Badoglio, head of the Italian! Liberation government, the king! named his son lieutenant-general of I the realm. The monarch, however, retained his title as head of the House of Sa-j voy and remains as king without power. King Vittorio Emmanuele, 74, whoj became ruler July 29. 1900, had an- i nounced last April 12 # his “irrevo-| cable" decision to withdraw from | public life “on the day on which, Allied troops enter Rome,” and to; turn his powers over to the crown ppince. Little more than a figurehead since, Mussolini assumed the dictatorship ofi Italy. 1 Vittorio Emmanuele had won a reputation the first years of his reign 1 as a sympathetic monarch, interested in his people and*their problems.

Straub, director^ the OPA food rationing division, said today the nation would enjoy its current “breathing spell" in food rationing for an indefinite pe riod, and that “no man knows” just how long it will last. In a prepared speech at the 46th annual convention of the National Association of Retail Grocers. Straub said the nation now was “in the midst of the most quiet and peaceful period” in the industry since ration ing began. “Just how long this breathing spell will last no man knows,” he de clared. “The best rationed a're the least rationed, and as long as con ditions warrant it we shall continue on the same or an even more relaxed basis. When and if the supply situ ation changes, rather than face the hysteria and the unfairness of panic buying and needless hoarding we may have to return to the rationing of 1943 and early 1944. “It is my earnest hope that this may be avoided.” Straub made the following other assertions: 1. The decision to remove pork from rationing May 3 resulted from big hog runs, corn allocations and an imminent feed shortage, approach of warm weather when buying declines, and a shortage of freezer storage space. • 2. Lamb was not plentiful nation ally but was over-supplied in various regions, and rather than set up a regional ration point system, it was removed from the Lisir , 3. Less desirable beef cuts were removed from rationing so they might move normally against choice pork cuts. 4. Major canned vegetables were removed from rationing because the supply of the 1943 pack in retail, wholesale and processors' hands was sufficient to last until 1944 goods come in. 5. It is still necessary to ration sugar. The total amount allocated to OPA by the—War Food Administra- for 1944 will permit less than 80 pounds per person.
