PHONE 824 Legion Protests Halts Party At Jeannette For Italian War Prisoners July 28 -(UP)The Garibaldi society's plans to entertain 25 Italian prisoners of war at a week-end party were called off after state officers of the American Legion protested to the War Department against "this base insult" to American Gold Star mothers. Antonio Masciantonio, president of the society, somewhat surprised at the furore aroused when the organization's plans were revealed, announced: "The whole thing has been called off now. The War Department asked us not to hold it for military reasons." The prisoners were to have been brought here by automobile or bus internment camp at Chambersburg, half way across the state.

Masciantonio said the "commanding of the camp called him last night to announce that the prisoners could not be released because of a "military change of mind." State Commander Frank X. Murray of the American Legion, informed of the proposed entertainment by members of the Jeannette Legion, had wired a protest to the War' Department and demanded "immediate action" to have the party called off. "Gold Star mothers are altogether too numerous in Pennsylvania to be so basely insulted," he said. "The American Legion will never permit the white crosses of the Anzio, beachhead to become besmirched by this unthinking, indecent action." Masciantonio said the party was planned "merely as a friendly gesture towards men whose countrymen are now fighting as our allies. "We weren't planning anything elaborate," he said.

"We were just going to give them one good home-cooked meal." Masciantonio claimed that prisoners of war from the same camp had previously been taken on excursions to Philadelphia and New York.

CHARLEROI, PA. Department appropriations in the Senate and is normally well-informed on military matters, took care to emphasize that his views were his own and not based on any recent official information. Nevertheless, he said, it is his opinion that the war with Japan will not require the shifting of any great force of land troops from the European to the Pacific theaters after the defeat of Germany. "I think that we will have to maintain an army of occupation in Europe until the Allied leaders decide on a future policy for Germany and the occupied countries," Thomas said. "But, I think it should be made up of those troops who wish to remain.

I think that those who wish to volunteer for further action, in the Japanese war also should be given that opportunity. But, I believe that those who want to come home should be given that chance as soon as, possible after Germany is beaten." Washington, July 28-(UP)-The possibility of an early German collapse today prompted congressional leaders to put demobilization and reconversion problems at the top of the legislative calendar to be considered by Congress after it reconvenes next Tuesday. Chairman Robert R. Reynolds, N. called his Senate Military Affairs committee into a special meeting next Tuesday morning to decide which of two demobilization bills should be approved and sent to the Senate floor for action.

He scheduled the session shortly after War Mobilization Director James F. Byrnes and Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, emphasized the need for immediate consideration of reconversion bills in telegrams to congressional leaders.
