ROME. Oct. 12—(/PI—Gen. An

fore a German firing squad March

to execute all Commandos. He
consulted his superiors before the
executions.

Stevedore Strike

leaders condemned Britain’s
spreading stevedore strike
which is paralyzing the island’s
great ports and menacing the
meagre ration system. They de

ready-prepared machinery at
their disposal for encouraging and
maintaining the strike action.”
Questioned as to the identity ot
the political organization, Arthur
Deakin, union official said “the
Revolutionary Communist party.”
Meanwhile troops were ordered

Dr. Sasaki Made
Adviser To
Emperor
TOKYO, Oct. 10—(/P)—Japan
has placed Dr. Sasaki, one of the
leading authorities of her tryanni
cal constitution within the Em
peror’s circle of advisers as she
took her first faltering steps to
carry out General MacArthur’s
orders to afford her people the full
breath of freedom in government.
She also sought to import rice
to alleviate the food crisis which
has been made even more critical
by this week’s typhoon which
swept over central and southern
Honshu.
Fresh disclosures by American
investigators made it clear that
however trying the situation was
under occupation, it would have
been worse if Japan had contin

HAVE YOU CAUGE1TIS?
Don't Have
! GAUGEITIS!
Many women de
mand 51-gauge stock
ings' They believe in
demanding this gauge
they are obtaining the
sheer hose they de
sire. What they really
want is 50-denier
sheers. If sheer hosi
e r y is wanted, 45
gauge can be more
sheer than 51.
Gauge refers only to
the type of machine on
which hose are knitted,
while denier means
thread weight. The
lower the denier, the
more sheer the stock
ing. In many instances
the hose are thinner in
a 45-gauge because the
fabric is more loosely
knit in a lower gauge,
resulting in a sheerer
effect.
This information is
imparted to our cus
tomers in order that
they may avoid ‘gauge
itis’ and obtain the
most satisfaction from
their hosiery pur
chases.
