FRIDAY. MAY 14, 1943 NEBRASKA STATE JOURNAL PAGE THREE Report Victor Emmanuel of Italy planning abdication BY PERTINAX. WASHINGTON. fNANA). The power of the axis has been finally broken in North Africa.

American and British chiefs of staff are discussing the strategical stroke which will follow. Nobody can foretell which European area or areas they will select. But this, at least, can be said: The Italian people now feel that Italy lays exposed to air attacks on a scale not yet witnessed in the present war except perhaps in Malta. The Italian people realize that nothing, like adequate protection can be provided for them. And diplomatic reports are at hand that, at any moment, King Victor Emmanuel of Italy may abdicate his throne and Prince Humberto succeed him.

The sovereign recognized long ago that the subjection of the whole of North Africa to the allies, the disappearance of the last" hope which Italians still entertained to recapture Libya would not allow him to continue in his exalted function. Only the hour at which the king's decision will mature remains uncertain. The diplomatic reports to which I refer originated in the recent visit of Archbishop Spellman to London and in what he said there about the conversations he hac had in Rome some weeks before. He was received no less than four times by Pope Pius XH and by the pontifical secretary of state Cardinal Maglione. He is believed to have met Count Count Grandi and others.

Thus his words carry great weight. The Holy See is deeply concerned with the social upheavals which, in the peninsula, are likely to be the outcome of military defeat beyond the sea and of unlimited destruction by air raida at home. Meanwhile, the Italian population rightly appraises what is in store for it. The fact is enough to create political possibilties which even Hitler may find hard to check indefinitely. U.

S. vessel torpedoed WASHINGTON. The navy reported Thursday that a medium- sized United States merchant vessel was torpedoed and sunk by an enemy submarine in the Atlantic in April. Survivors have landed at Miami, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda.

Legislature (Continued from Page 1.) still holds the high cards, proponents of the governor's plan of appointment of the directorate have not surrendered. Martin J. Mischke, public works chairman, will seek reconsideration of the decision to go the elective way. The membership is interested in ascertaining what effect, if any, the Craven floor talk and the governor's letter in response may have on the alignment as to election and appointment, one of the hot issues of the session.

It probably has drawn the governor's supporters, on this matter, closer together. Some of them profess to believe that their division will grow. The same may be said of the faction backing the Craven plan for electing directors. Two unusual situations were disclosed treatment of the banking bill: a falling apart of the two introducers, Greenamyre and Earl J. Lee, latter supporting the committee amendments, and possibility that Greenamyre may have been misled when he assumed that he was limiting interest to 9 percent with permissive minimum monthly charges on small loans, based on expense of handling rather than interest.

Committee Rewrite. The banking committee presented amendments which constitute a complete rewrite of the bill. This substitute proposes a maximum interest rate on so- called small installment loans of 1'i percent per month with a ceiling of $2,500 on single loan. While the original bill designates a 9 percent maximum this is on discount basis and, It was stated, actually means approxi- can spot it every time I tell you at Ship's Service Departments JL how ranch ice-cold Coca-Cola means to the men in refreshment, in enjoyment and in morale.

When people feel about a soft drink that way it's got something special. Coca-Cola has. A taste all its own. A drink that adds refreshment to thirst-quenching. Truly, the only thing like Coca-Cola is Coca-Cola, itself the trade-marked product of The Coca-Cola Company.

IOTTIED UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COU COMPANY IY I A A 2120 Street I A Lincoln, Nebraska mately 18 percent per year. If they take it in advance, it wjll slightly exceed that figure. "A higher rate on installment loans than the committee bill calls for," said C. Petrus Peterson, chairman of banking.

"I suspect Senator Greenamyre was misled by the language furnished him by the bankers." Greenamyre had stated that, in his opinion, there is no justification for a rate higher than 9 percent per year. "If it says what Mr. Peterson says it does," said Greenamyre, "I have been misled. I shall prepare amendments to give it the intended meaning." Peterson said that the committee followed the pattern set in regard to the small loan bill and the industrial loan bill, froth previously advanced, by fixing a flat percent per month maximum altho the figures are not the same in the three bills. The small loan bill, for instance, L.

B. 176, permits 3 percent per month on the first 2y percent on the next and three- fourths of one percent per month on the balance. The industrial loan bill, B. 296, allows 3 percent on the first S50, percent on the next $550 and three-fourths of one percent thereafter. Allege Excessive.

Several members took the floor to object to a situation which would permit banks to charge more interest on loans approaching the $2,500 ceiling than is permitted under the industrial loan act As introduced, the bill provides that where a loan is so small the interest does not amount to 50 cents per month, the bank may make such charge per month in lieu of interest. In case of an installment loan so small that the interest does not amount to $1 per month for the full period of the loan, the bank may charge up to bui. nul in excess of 51 per month for the first six months and not exceeding 50 cents per month for the remainder of the period. Greenamyre said that the first mentioned 50 cents per month would apply to loans under while the dollar for six months and then 50 cents would apply on loans under $133.33. Senator Peterson argued that this service charge is misleading and quoted figures to show that, from an interest viewpoint, such charges would prove excessive when measured against interest He explained that a discount rate is difficult to understand from the viewpoint of the borrower.

"I am hopeful," he said, "that most of the money in the small loan field may be supplied by the banks. I believe it would be in the interests of the people of the state." William A. Crossland declared that banks should be contnvied in the traditional banking field. "They have been in the small loan field," said J. Conklin, only legislative banker.

"This merely puts them in an independent field at a lower interest rate Senator Peterson said that if Greenamyre should amend as he proposes, the banks would be doing what those not under the small loan law, are now permitted to do. "His question is whether or not we shall exclude banks," he said. Says Sugar Coated. Speaker Crosby said that to provide a rate of IVi percent per month is a sugarcoated way of saying 18 percent per year. He argued that interest designated on yearly basis is more readily understood.

"The permissive rate of 1 percent on larger loans up to $2,500 is higher than industrial investment companies are permitted to charge under their bill," he said. "It should be simple for Senator Greenamyre to amend the original bill by providing a 9 percent maximum on unpaid balances The substitute bill says percent, computed as simple interest, on unpaid balance of the principal amount received." L.B. 96, general appropriations bill, was advanced to engrossment after adoption of additional amendments. One of these adds $25,000 to provide for agricultural test areas as provided in L.B. 284 enacted at this session.

Another increases from $8,000 to the appropriation for survey as to human tuberculosis while a third inserts $30,000 for venereal disease including administration of two specific acts passed at this session. It probably will be necessary tc recall the appropriations bill to take care of the $105,000 appropriation in L.B. 166, agricultural industrial bill. Reason for delaying this item is that the governor has not yet passed on this measure. If the Craven resolution for power investigation prevails, in its present form, another $25,000 must be added.

Digest of the five new bills: L. B. 441 prescribes the charges that may be made by physicians in connection with pre-marital examinations and L. B. 442 the charges made for venereal disease control.

These are supplemented to L. B. 41 and L. B. 42 which cover those subjects.

L. B. 443 repeals a law passed earlier in the session which appropriated $6,500 for the purchase of 80 acres of land to be attached to the reformatory for men farm. The land has been sold to private parties. L.

B. 445 corrects a defect in a law passed earlier in the session covering the adoption of' children born out of wedlock. These four bills were sent to general file for action. B. 444 was introduced at the request of the Elastic Stop Nut factory of Lincoln and an Omaha factory as a part of the war effort.

It will permit women employed in war industries to work more than 9 hours a day one day every two weeks. 5 Review (Continued from Page 1.) the University of Nebraska Rifle club.

Many of the axis soldiers captured in the Tunisian campaign who are willing to work undoubtedly will be shipped to America and England, it was said authoritatively Thursday. No definite plan for putting them to work America had been reported yet, but there would be jobs available especially on farms in both countries for those who want them. All of them who want to work will be given jobs--with pay-within the bounds of the Geneva convention, whose rules prisoners of war to accept non-military employment. Labor is badly needed in North Africa, it was pointed out. (In Washington officials were concentrating on methods of giving work to new war prisoners who will augment the 20,000 already in the United States, major problems being escape-prevention means and citizen-reaction in places where such labor is used.) Many German and most Italian prisoners reported they were anxious to work to keep their minds occupied and to have a little money saved from their wages when the war ends.

Italian prisoners have proven capable as agriculturists, building workers and road builders. The mam problem for the moment is housing, feeding and transporting of prisoners and their number has put a strain on the supply of barbed wire. Many are being fed with their own rations which were captured with them. 13 attend women's voters league meet Thirteen Lincoln women attended the bi-annual council of the Nebraska League of Women Voters in the League rooms in the Omaha Y.
