Heads of the eight groups met
in Chicago recently and formulated
a two-year plan for putting the un

Council of Churches would bring

plication of effort,” a spokesman
said.
ROME, April 27—(UP)—Italian
Communists charged today that
premier Alcide De Gasperi wanted
arms from America to pursue a
“war policy.”
The charge was based on an in
terview between De Gasperi and
Hugh Baillie, president of the Un
ited Press, which was displayed
prominently by all the Italian
press for the second day with the
Rightists opposing an extreme
Leftist claim that the interview
disclosed the Catholic govern
ment's aims toward a military al
liance with the west.
The Communist newspaper Un
ita headlined its report on the De
Gasperi interview, “De Gasperi
asks Americans for arms in ‘active
participation in war bloc.”
The left wring socialist organ
Avanti said De Gasperi had re
vealed a Catholic party program
which allegedly was hidden from
the voters before the elections.

Junior Weekend
Probably Raining
Not one absolutely clear day
this month—.41 inches of rain
over normal already—precipita
tion on all but three days of
April; that’s what R. B. Graves
saw on his weather bureau charts
at the Eugene airport Tuesday
afternoon.
With Junior Weekend ten days
away, Graves could only say
“There is a fair chance of fair
weather. But,” he added, “there
is always lots of rain in April.”
Besides too much rain, the
weather bureau reported an av
erage temperature “quite a bit
lower than usual.” So far this
month, there have been 18 days
cooler than the normal 50.9 or 51
degrees.
The lover of puzzles has fun these
days with crosswords and with
wondering how much smaller the
paper napkins will get to be.
State of the nation may be
judged from the demand that there
should be more catastrophe insur
ance.
