12 Th Stat mem, Sdra, Italians Defy Dark Sides to Register Vote By STAN SWINTON ROME l: Some 20 million Italians, defying rainsqualls and somber skies, swarmed to the polls Sunday in a, national election that will determine the fate of Premier Alcide de Gasperi's pro-Western government.: Unofficial returns indicated that between 63 and 79 per cent of the 30,348,789 registered voters turned out on the first day of the two day baUotin. They voted at 48.743 pollmg places, guarded by strong contin gents of police and troops, for the second postwar Parliament in strategic Italy. First returns are not ' expected until Monday. Predictions are that a heavy vote should assure victory for de Gas peri's coalition of four center par- 41 to Rome, the national capital, a turnout of 72 per cent of the regis tered voters was reported. At stake are 590 seats in the ' Chamber of ! Deputies and 237 of the 343 Senate seats. Since results on the Senate contests will be tal lied first, results on the more im portant lower chamber elections may not be available until late Monday or early Tuesday. T Determine Trend The outcome will determine whe ther Italy will retain its pro-Western, pro-American middle-of - the road democracy, move to the left with the pro-Moscow Communists and extreme leftist pro-Red Social ists, or try to turn the clock back with the increasingly strong mon archists and neo-Fascists. The voting "was unusually order ly and quiet. Only one shooting was reported, from Reggio Cala bria Province at the southernmost tip of the Italian "boot's toe." There a Communist fired five shots into his cousin1 who was try ing to convince the I Red's wife to cast a pro-Western ballot. The wounded man is expected to live. Tried to Take Ballots ' Police and army guards halted a few other scuffles. A tipsy Com munist poll watcher on the island of Sardinia tried to walk out with 137 ballots in his pocket but was captured. Interior Minister Mario Scelba charged Communist rowdies with conducting organized "hunts" to prevent Roman Catholic nuns from voting. In half a dozen towns Communist officials demanded that crucifixes be removed from polling places, but police refused. Crucifixes are found normally in most Italian schools and other public buildings normally used as polling places in Catholic Italy. Most observers believe de Gas peri's coalition of Christian Demo crats, Liberals, Republicans, and moderate; Socialists will win by a narrow margin the 50.01 per cent of the vote which would give the bloc bonus seats in the Chamber of Deputies.

Wash., over to the people who live there. AEC Chairman Gordon Dean dis closed this to the House Independ ent Offices Appropriations Sub committee in testimony made pub lic Sunday. Dean said the AEC does not now plan to relinquish Los Alamos, Ne vada. He made the statements aft er Rep. Phillips (R-Calif.) assert ed Richland was operated on an "extravagant scale." Phillips said cost of such ser vices at Richland as fire and po lice protection, parks and health and welfare work were higher than in most Washington cities and added: "It seems to me you ought to dispose of Richland as a federally owned community." "Agree Completely" "We agree with you completely both as to Oak Ridge and Rich land, but Los Alamos for the mo ment is in a separate category," Dean replied. The AEC has spent much time, he said, in working out plans "to turn these communities back to the people who live in them, in cluding provisions for incorpora tion, sale of the homes." A plan to dispose of the two towns "eventually" will come to Congress, he said. Civic Improvements Phillips wanted to know why, if plans were shaping up to dispose of the two towns, that the AEC wanted $3,724,000 for community improvements during the fiscal year starting July 1. M. W. Boyer, AEC general man ager, said the commission wanted to have the governmental facili ties in good operating condition for the cities and that some repairs and improvements were needed. Phillips was told that the request had been reduced to $1,S43,000 for Richland and $800,000 for Oak Ridge. David P. Shaw, manager of the Hanford, Wash., operations office, said the AEC expects to realize about $40 million from the sale of land and property at Richland. No figure was given for Oak Ridge. Shaw said at Richland the AEC would "dedicate the community plant to the new community. That is. the roads and streets and the utilities and the municipal part of it- ISRAEL BORDER CLASHES JERUSALEM.

A Bit Of This-n-Thal LJaSTZ-J By Sid Boise Dear Queen Elizabeth: We followed your coronation with a. great deal of interest on the boss' TV set a few nights ago and an interesting thought came to mind. We couldn't help but wonder if your crown was in sured and if. so, by what company Lloyd's of London? Our own General Insurance Company of America insures diamond rings, bracelets, watches and other jewelry for our friends in the Willamette Valley but we doubt if it has ever been called upon to insure a crown. However, our facilities are available and we would be willing to write this "all risk" insur ance at our regular rate of $1.60 per $100 of valuation. In other words, $1,000,000.00 of in surance would cost just $16,000.00 This would be a refreshing experience for, us because no one we know could even pay the premium. Respectively yours, R.S.V.P. . This-'N-That CXI 373 N. Church Phone "Th Capital Stock Company of Preferred Bisks" 4 . .4 - r ji Vandenberg Says Red Jets Peril to Europe WASHINGTON UP) Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg says Russia has a rapidly growing fleet of light jet bombers which can hit any -point in free Europe in an hour or if pitted against the Allies in Korea can "quickly jeopardize" the UN position there. In the most detailed official pub lic discussion thus far on Soviet capabilities, the USAF chief of staff who is fighting against administration-ordered cuts in the Air Force budget also: 1. Said the TU-4 medium bomb ers of the U. S. S. R. can "deliver the atomic bomb through staging bases already prepared in Siberia and Northern Russia to any target in the United States in a one-way mission." 2. Asserted "the initial blows in any struggle are likely to be the decisive ones. We no longer can count on having time, as we did in the last two wars, to mobilize our, military resources after the fighting has begun. "If Soviet industries and air fields, and transport facilities were left intact while they struck with atomic weapons at those of the West, we would have no chance of ever meeting them again on anything like equal terms." This comment by Vandenberg seemed to challenge the basic po licy of industrial mobilization, un der which "additional weapons for all-out war would be produced aft er hostilities had started. 3. Cautioned that the number of U. S. heavy bombers of ultra-long range. like the B-36 and B-52, al ways will be limited and therefore the U. S. must have allies and bases for medium bombers within striking distance of targets behind the Iron Curtain. 0 Vandenberg's views were ex pressed to a House committee in executive session on March 6 but now have been published in the congressional record by Sen. May bank (D-SC), a member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommit tee which has been hearing public testimony by the general this week. Vandenberg's House committee testimony was in support of his long-standing contention that 143 wings (Instead of the 120 under the administration budget revision) is the minimum force which can dis courage aggression and provide in stant retaliation if Russia starts war.
