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.
Prince Umberto, tall and erect, dp-!
po.'Cti Fascism m Italy at the startl
but later made a truce with Musso-;
lini. I
In elfect. Umberto becomes the
. . i . '
k:ng regent.
P. C. Schedules
Four Grid Games
University of Georgia
Presbyterian college's 1 1944 football
team is going to face the toughest
schedule m Blue Stocking history,
accordufg to a list of games an
nounced by Coach Lonnie McMillian.
Already scheduled- are:
September 23—Clemson college at
Clemson.
October
at Athens. .
November 11—University of South
Carolina at Columbia.
November 17—Miami university at
Miami.
In addition, the Presbyterians are
discussing dates with North Carolina
State, Newberry college and Catawba
college. Coach McMillian also.expects
later to schedule two or three games
with nearby army posts.
Rationing To Be
Eased liicfefinitely
Chicago, June 5.—Walter F. 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.
