"Most Dangerous Man” Reveals How Hitler Rescued Mussolini

Dachau, Aug. 3. The former SS Lieutenant- Colonel, Otto Skorzeny, awaiting trial as a war criminal, tonight revealed the details of one of the war's fabulous adventure storics-how he located the secret Italian prison where Mussolini was held in late 1943, captured the heavily guarded Duce with a handful of glider troops and sneaked back to Ger- many safely with his large, bald prize.

The scar-faced Skorzeny will be tried with nine others here, beginning August 18, charged with having slipped behind American lines in American uniforms and having killed American prisoners during the 1944 offensive.

Wedemeyer In Midst Of China Civil War

BY ERNEST HOBERECHT (United Press Staff Correspondent)

Peiping, Aug. 3.Lt. Gen. Albert Wedemeyer's fact-finding mission, after nearly two weeks in China, now finds itself in the middle of a civil war.
