The biggest shortage in Rome on June 4, 1944, was of Fascists. Tens of thousands of Romans poured out to acclaim the liber ators. Not a Fascist among them to hear them tell it.

The only vestige of the once great traffic in army supplies are one-man "PDs" selling faded bars of American soap and packs of razor blades and olive drab toothbrush cases here and there In the city. Five years ago Americans were struck by the apathy of the Italian police. A woman mob lynched a man on the banks of the Tiber while dozens of fright ened looking carablnlerl stood idly by.

IJP) Berlin's sidered "on the fence and mi oirecuy invuivcu in hub s " strike. anti-Communist railway strikers rejected overwhelmingly Thurs day a Communist-sponsored offer for settling the crippling railroad strike. The vote was 13.477 against to 398 for. Under the compromise, the Russian-controlled management of the railway had offered to pay West Berlin workers 60 per cent of their wages in West marks, worth much more than the East marks circulated In the Soviet zone. The strikers are demand ing 100 per cent payment in West .marks. Officials of the Western-sponsored UGO railway union said more than 1,000 votes were cast than there are names on the strike roll. They explained this by saying that excess represent ed members the officials had con- Floating Mines Still Menace To West Coast ASTORIA, Ore., June 3. UP) Those floating mines along the Oregon and Washington coasts will probably remain a menace for the next decade. That is the opinion of Lt. I. G. Nelson, 13th Naval District bomb disposal officer, who came here to get rid of a 10-inch artillery shell turned up on the port docks by a bulldozer. Nelson said a mine can float across the Pacific from Japan, cross the ocean again, and re turn a third time to the coast here. That circuit following ithe Jap anese current, would take four years, he said. The result was the expected de feat of the compromise which was agreed upon between the non striking Communist Free German Trade Union and the Russian controlled Reichsbahn (railway). The railway management re fused UGO and deals only with the Communist Trade Union Fed eration of East Berlin. OIL PRICE 8LASHEO PORTLAND, June 3. ff)-.

(F The trend toward a higher proportion of poliomyelitis cases among adults continued during last year's wide-spread epidemic, the Na tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis reported. A survey based on cases from 22 states and the District of Co lumbia showed 17.8 percent of 15,151 persons stricken in those areas were over 20 years of age, Basil O'Connor, president of the Foundation, said. The United States had 27,894 listed cases last year. Children under 10 made up 60.2 percent of the survey total; chil dren bptween 10 and 14 consti tuted 14.3 percent; and those in the 15 to 19 age group 7.7 per cent. O'Connor said the trend to ward higher incidence among older age groups was Indicated by comparison with surveys of previous years, although no post records on any exactly compara ble basis are available. O'Connor said the apparent In crease of polio among older age groups probably can be attributed to population increases in these groups and to more accurate re porting of cases. Included In last year's survey were Idaho and Oregon. were stricken with diphtheria! So far this year Oregon has had only 17 instances of that disease. PORTLAND, June 2.UP) Three new cases of infantile pa ralysis occurred In Oregon last week, the State Board of Health reported. Two were In Portland and the other In Lane County.
