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."

flannel suit and horn rimmed
glasses, he looked much younger
than his 85 years. 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."

retary of the National American
Mothers Committee, "for her out

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."

tional magazines on the problemss
of motherhood. She began her

by Hep. Harris Ellsworth (R-Ore)
which would open Oregon revest
ed lands to mining development
is urged by a civic-industrial
group here. .
C. K. Sterrett, secretary of Raw

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.

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

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.

The business division, with the
job of canvassing 518 places of

The chief executive coupled this
prediction with a forecast that the
government's, budget for the cur
rent fiscal year ending June 30
will show a $1,250,000,000 surplus
the first since 1930.
2. 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.

"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.
