BRADLEY, who Vinvn lived In St. Louis for the til 1 WHEN the Badoglio coup occurred, it was likened to the situation created by Darlan, in North Africa. But this comparison is false; the situation is otherwise. In the North African case, opposing factions presented an irreconcilable picture, and our military authorities had only the choice of backing one side or the other.

John Au-burt Greeson U. S. N. of Montgomery, whose engagement was announced in September, will be married at 7:30 o'clock tonight at the church of St. Michael and St.

The internal social program, advanced by the Action party, which is as far right as any anti-Fascist party will go, deserves our close attention, for it is probably the minimum program acceptable to most of Europe after this war.

Both leaders and followers of this party are largely from the upper MACHINIST'S MATE HAROLD E. DILLOW (left) and LT. MARVIN R. BOYD-STUN. LAG IN DRILLING ENDANGERS GAS SUPPLY, SPEAKER SAYS With the demand for natural gas in war industries Increasing the national sales volume at a rate of 10 per cent each year since 1939, consumption of gas is fast outstripping the drilling of new gas wells, Burt R.

Bay, president of the Northern Natural Gas Omaha, told a session of the American Gas Association convention at Hotel Jefferson yesterday. Evidence of the disproportion between production and consumption, he said, is shown in the accelerated rate of drop in well pressures and the record of gas wells opened this year about two-thirds of the number drilled in 1941. Bay added that within recent months allocations of steel have been made by the War Production Board, which will provide for the development of "substantial" additional volumes of gas. Besides this, he said, major new gas line projects are being considered by Federal ngenclcs. Billie Burke, the stage and screen actress, spoke at a breakfast session of the convention this morning.

The convention ends tomorrow. J. J. SHERIDAN DIES IN CHICAGO John J. Sheridan, former St.

JOSEPH M. HAAS, S.J., FUNERAL AT 9 A. M. TOMORROW Funeral services for the Rev. Joseph M.

Haas, S. who died of Infirmities of age yesterday at Alexian Brothers Hospital will be tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock at St. Stanislaus Seminary, Florissant. Father Haas was 75 years old. A Jesuit for 52 years.

Father Haas was born in Buffalo, N. and educated there and in He had been a pastor in Mankato, and Cleveland before coming to St. Louis. He Is a former pastor of St. Joseph's Church, Eleventh and Biddlc streets, and was chaplain for six years at St.

Vincent's German Orphans' Home, now in Florissant. Surviving is a sister, Mrs. John P. Steele of Buffalo. Burial will be in St Stanislaus Seminary's But in the Badoglio case there Is the possibility of compromise.

This is due to the fact that, in Italy a genuine political line has developed, with both an external and internal program. There is the possibility of unity between all anti-Fascist parties, based not upon personalities but upon prin ciples. Inasmuch as Badoglio is willing to accept the principles, and frive obedience to the popular will, Badoglio is acceptable. This was, from the beginning, Count Carlo Sforza's attitude to ward Gen. Badoglio that he is essentially a soldier; and as such an instrument of the political power; end that if he is willing to serve an anti-Fascist political power and help throw the Germans out of Italy, he can be a valuable instru ment.

Count Sforza's attitude toward the King was and is different. The King is a political authority, directly responsible for all the developments of the last two decades. To allow to remain upon the throne the man who conferred lipon Mussolini his original power, who declared war on Ethiopia, Krance and Britain, who usurped the titles of King of Albania and Emperor of Ethiopia, and from whom Mussolini obtained his only legality is out of the question if a genuine new regime in Italy were to be established. The hopeful thing in the present situation is that th leaders of nil the nti-J''Hcittt Italian parties, including the Communists, show an amazing respect for the principle tif state continuity. Our legal concern was, and had to be, not to establish an Italian government that has no roots in Italian history, and is the creation of foreign powers.

The Italian parties offer a way out They propose the maintenance of the House of Savoy, nominally, and at least for a certain period. They demand the abdication of the King, and his pro-German son, the Crown Prince, but are willing to accept Umberto's young son under a regency. And they suggest Gen. Badoglio, as regent, in effect kicking him upstairs. Leading Anti-Fascist Groups.

THE largest two anti-Fascist parties of Italy are the Action partj, whose intellectual head Is Count Sforza, and whose Neapolitan leader is Dr. Adolpho Omodeo, rector of Naples University. Very near to this party is also Benedetto Croce, the great philosopher. The Communist party is led in this moment by Dr. Eugenio Reale.

Both are prepared to accept, temporarily at least, the principle of the dynasty, and both are prepared to protect the Vatican, though both ARMINiUS T. HAEBERLE, ONCE U. S. CONSUL, DIES SHAVING Arminius T. Haeberle, former t'nited States Consul Genernl at Dresden, Germany, nnd a member rf the ronmilnr service for 30 years until his retirement In 19.18.

died of a heart nttnek yexirnliiy when tthaving in the bathroom of his home, 4102 Flad avenue, lie was 9 years old. Mr. Haeberle, who was at Dresden for 10 years before his retirement, witnessed the rise of Hitler end sent confidential reports about him to his Government. During his career he was credited with introducing the modern plow into Honduras. After serving in Central and South America, including Brazil, he was stationed at Vladivostok.

Born in St Louis, he once taught modern languages at Mc-Kinley High School. His father was the late Rev. Louis Haeberle, president of Eden Seminary. Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Ida Haeberle, and two sisters, Mrs.

Hulda Bettex of Los Angeles, and Mrs. Selma Mueller of St. Louis. Funeral services will be held at the Kriegshauser Undertaking Establishment, 4228 South Kingshigh-way, tomorrow at 2 p. m.

It is apparent that they are reflecting. not their personal prejudices, but what they know must be conceded to the Italian people if they are to be held in line at all. This program retains the institution of free enterprise, but demands the nationalization of the great corporate industries and utilities, and the distribution of the latifundian estates to the peasantry a reform long overdue in Italy, involving the liquidation of the medieval feudal system. It also calls for immediate participation of workers in the profits of production. This program is to be put into immediate operation by a coalition Italian government, headed by Count Sforza, whom the Communists are willing to accept, although he Is a well-known anti-Communist.

This government proposes to create a voluntary and trustworthy Italian Army for the energetic prosecution of the war against Germany. It is obvious that such an army, fighting for a new Italy, would be animated by a different spirit than the remnants of defeated Fascist troops. Decision Fateful. THE so rapid emergence of political consciousness and political organization in Italy, confronts the Allied nations with a problem on which they must make an im mediate decision. That decision will be fateful for the outcome of this war.

Without any privy Information whatever, I know that Russia would recognize this government. Therewith Russia will put herself on the side of the Italian people. If, on the other hand, we are unable to adjust ourselves to a new fact, and act speedily in a statesmanlike manner; if we insist on backing elements that are rejected by every party in Italy, then we will lose all popular political influence in Italy, and bit by bit throughout Europe. A great many expediencies have been employed in this war. But we are now confronted with an expediency involving a test of principle namely whether we are willing to accept popular will or not.

if we try to avoid an an swer to this, then heaven help our xuiure amongst the Deonlea of Europe and the world. ODT URGES MONTH HOLIDAY AT COLLEGES TO EASE TRAFFIC WASHINGTON, Oct. 27 (AP). Many college and prep school students will get a month's vacation In the Christmas-New Year holiday season if educational institutions follow requests made today by the Office of Defense Transportation.
