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.

The accident occurred at about

tions. The few children left at home

AEC Seeks to
End Control of
Atomic Cities
WASHINGTON ( The Atomic
Energy Commission has submitted
to the Budget Bureau a plan to
turn the atomic cities Oak Ridge,
Tenn., and Richland. 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-

Jeep Used in Alps
As Lofty TaxfCab
VIENNA Lfl An American
jeep now appears to be the world's
highest taxi cab.
In the heart of the Austrian
alps, a four wheeled U. S. Army
veteran will take you to the re
gion of eternal ice and to a mid
summer ski area for a few Aus
trian schillings.
This latest tourist attraction
has 'been introduced by an enter
prising Alpine innkeeper on the
8,200-foot Rotkogel mountain in
the Oetz Valley alps.
To reach the taxi-stand, tour
ists first take a chair lift from
Soelden to .the 6,800-foot Hoch
Soelden. From there they take
another chair lift to the Rotkogel.
The jeep was dismantled and
taken up on the same lifts.

A Bit Of
This-n-Thal
LJaSTZ-J
By

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

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.
