Newspaper Page TextPage guireim Krittr-Cnrd, Eugene. Ore,, Monday. April 81. 194T Italian Premier Favors Influence Of US in Mediterranean Affairs By VIRGIL M. PINKLEY IWarld Coovrllht 1M7 by United Press) ROME (U.B Premier Alclde de Gasperi laid Monday that con tinued and increased United States participation in European and Mediterranean affairs would be "a guarantee against a new war." ... De Gasperi, leader of the Chris tion Democratic Party who heads the Italian coalition government, viewed the world situation pes simistically in an interview with the United Press. He saw Ameri can action as the key to the solu tion of both international disputes and Italian internal problems. "Such American activity ceems to me to guarantee gainst new war," he said. As it seeking immediately to answer a major criticism against the Truman policy, De Gasperi added, "I believe that American influence is good for the develop ment of democratic life in Europe. I consider United States partici pation in things European as with in the framework of the United Nations, of which the United States if a member."

He removed the glasses during most of the inter view and gestured constantly with a colored pencil in the, Italian manner. As he ran his long fingers through a shock of black hair only flecked with grey, exhibiting warmth and courtesy, he seemed to present a maximum contrast with Benito Mussolini, who was running Italian lives only four vears ago. He spoke at a time when Italy was struggling through its worst financial crisis since the war, and with full knowledge that publica tion of his views may increase the difficulty of holding together his coalition government. The Com munists are second in strength to his Christian Democratic Party in the government. De Gasperi also made these ma jor points: t. "We need a small United States loan to balance our or dinary budget and restore con fidence in our internal financing for extraordinary reconstruction expenditures." He did not mention a figure. 2. Hunger is the chief threat to democracy in Italy. Only chaos from famine could bring either a leftist or rightist dictatorship, which seem the same to him. 3. The Italian assembly has the final decision whether Italy will ratify the peace treaty written for her by the Allies. "My personal opinion is that the treaty can be ratified, but only if we have assurance that a neiping hand will be extended to aid us, De Gasperi said. 4. Italy's influence by full or joint trusteeship should be main tained in pre-war Italian colonies in Africa c ptured by the Allies. 5. A general election In Italy must be held "within three or four months." 'Mother of the Year' Chosen NEW YORK (U.R) Mrs. Jan- ette Lindsay Stevenson Murray, 72, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, a grandmother of 10, was named Monday as the American mother of 1947. "She was chosen," said Mrs. Leonore E. Porter, executive sec retary of the National American Mothers Committee, "for her out standing record as the mother of five children, all college gradu ates, and her continuing leader ship In community affairs. "We believe Mrs. Murray has the ability to lead the mothers of America, as no otner woman could, in the search for world peace." Mrs. Murray has written many articles for newspapers and na tional magazines on the problemss of motherhood. She began her writing career in 1818 with weekly feature in the Honolulu Star Bulletin and later wrote a column in'the Cedar Rapids Even' ing Gazette. Mrs. Murray's five children are William Gordon Murray, head of the department of economics and sociology at Iowa State; Mrs Eleanor Haas Shepherd, co author with her husband of a number of textbooks: Edward Stevenson Murray, a fellow at Montreal General Hospital; Mrs. Janet Steele Fiske, a former in structory at Wellesley, and Miss Winifred Gray Murray, an in structor at Monmouth Junior Col lege, Long Branch, N.

Sterrett, secretary of Raw Materials Survey, said the House bill would open 2,500,000 acres in Oregon to exploration and de velopment, particularly in the Oregon-California land grant tracts where mining now is re stricted.

Conservatives Win in Japan TOKYO (U.R) Conservative candidates scored an overwhelm ing victory in Sunday's election to the "ouse of Councillors, upper house of the Japanese Parliament, and observers cited this as evi dence of a Japanese trend toward middle-of-the-road political lean ings. The Japanese electorate, it ap peared, was steering a middle course between radical and Com munist policies on the one hand and ultra-nationalism on the other. In elections to the upper cham ber as in earlier elections to pre fectural and municipal offices the voters generally supported men of known experience and ability. It was believed they felt that this is not the time for political experiments. The House of Councillors cor responds roughly to the U. S. Sen ate in the bicameral legislature provided by the new Japanese constitution. It replaces the old House of Peers In which many of those elected Sunday held seats. One hundred members were selected on a nation-wide basis and 150 from prefectural electoral districts. Members serve a Six year term and half of them are elected every third year.

Jewish Terrorists Resume Activity JERUSALEM (P Two ropes fashioned into nooses were found by British authorities Monday near the spot where two military jeeps were ambushed in Jerusalem by men believed to be members of the Jewish underground. - The discovery recalled broadcast threats by Irgun Zvai Leuml, Jew ish underground organization, to' retaliate in kind for the hanging, of four of its members by British! authorities last week following: their , conviction for anti-British I violence. . ' I Three men were detained after: the ambushing, in which the jeeps were attacked with grenades and machmegun fire near the edge of Jerusalem's Jewish quarter. Five soldiers who were riding in the Jeeps escaped injury, but a civil ian was reported injured. Two other British military ve hicles were blown up Monday jn continuation of a new reign of violence in which 12 persons in cluding 10 British soldiers were injured Sunday. , Six soldiers were injured when a bomb was thrown into a motion picture theater at a leave center near Nathanya.

' ' Tax Hearings Due in Senate WASHINGTON m-The Sen ate raises the curtain Tuesday oh the first act of its tax-cutting per formance with the cash customers waiting to see: Whether they will get a refund on part of the taxes they've al ready paid this year, or: Whether the new lower rates will be delayed until July 1. The third possibility that no cut will come this year appears remote despite these two weekend developments: 1. President Truman's declara tion that higher prices already have "inflated the entire economic bombing.

A break down of the family's $18.50 con tribution shows that Paul W. Ed wards contributed $5: Howard. $10; Ruby, $2; Lorna, $.50: Don ald, $.25; and Devere, $.50. The business division, with the job of canvassing 518 places of Dusmess, reported Saturday that ine job was not quite half done. "We have 167 cards completed," according to Robert Cross, chair man of the division, "with an av erage of $70 per card."

A bill by Democratic Sena tor' Scott Lucas of Illinois to cut taxes next January 1 on a some what different basis than the 30 20 per cent slash retroactive to last Jan. 1 already voted by the house. Lucas' bill presumably will be considered along with the House measure when the Senate Finance Committee opens its tax hearings Tuesday. But with Republicans firmly committed to a cut this year, most senators agree that the main test will come between those who favor the House "date and those like Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio, chairman of the Senate GOP Policy Committee, who prefer to wait until July 1. nel and Mrs. T. D. Weaver. The Army men are from the Portland headquarters of the U, S. Army engineers. ' Chancellor Paul C. Packard of the State Board of Higher Educa tion, Dr. Harry K.. wewourn, pres ident of the'University of Oregon; William H. Cobb of New York City, vice-president of the Teach ers Insurance and Annuity Co., and Jim Hosmer of the Bend Chamber of Commerce were among the special guests. "Damned or Praised" Asked if he would return next weekend for the opening of the trout season, Colonel Walsh, head of the Army engineers, was en thusiastic about the boat ride, but said that he would not be able to make It. He did say that he would be here Thursday to be "damned and praised" during the Willam ette Valley Flood Control project hearing. Although young Helfrich, who boated from Redsides to Nimrod, was the youngest to make a com plete run, the smallest boatman was Buck Adams, nine-year-old son of Association Secretary Car roll Adams, who manned his dad's boat through Silver Creek' and four following rapids. Best "Rides" The best "rides" were furnished at McAlister, Neil's and Martin rapids. Most of the thrills , were provided as the crafts shot through the turbulent Martin like amusement-park roily-coasters. It was unusual . that none of the boats swamped in Martin, although nu merous passengers were given duckings. Association President Dayton Thomson supervised the event, as sisted by Adams. Most of the boats did not get under way until 10 a.m., but managed to reach Nimrod at noon for luncheon and entertainment. A few of the boats took out at Thomson's, below Martin, but the majority contin ued on to the lake, finishing be tween 4 and 4:30 p.m. Although there was consider able traffic, there were no serious jams and no accidents were re ported. Sportsmen Analyze -Fishing Conditions For many of the close to 200 sportsmen who made the Mc kenzie trip, it was a preview for next weekend and the opening of the trout season. Chances in the river channels were; closely noted, along with the heignt and condi tion of the water. The river is about two feet too high for good angling, but is expected to drop another foot before next Saturday. The water is crystal clear and there were numerous bug hatches despite the wind and slightly colder-than-average weather. One oi the most noticeable changes in the river is at Clover Point, where the usual gigantic curlbacks have been flattened out. Gate Creek rapids are also more quiet than usual.
