Mon., June 13, 1955 Italian Leader Faces jVote of Confidence j ROME Wl Embattled Premier Merio Scelba faced tough de mands from both left and right jeonday as he fought t hold to gether his 15-month-old four-party coalition on a crucial confidence Vote. : : After a busy weekend of haggling wilff political leaders, ttie anti-Communist Premier stood firm on the formula of center alli ance despite growing dissent in his own Christian democrat aarty and stiff demands from the allieii Social Ormocrats anti-Communigt Socialists. : As the rumblings grew louder, observers saw. little assurance Scelba would receive full support from either his own party or the ",. 1 Social Democrats on the, confi- Adlai Urges fOpen Mind' At Big 4 Talk ". OBERLIN, Ohio Of) Adlai E. Stevenson urged Monday that the forthcoming "conference at the summit" be approached with an attitude of bargaining. The former Democratic presi dential candidate, in a speech de livered at commencement exer cises at Oberlin College, said, 'Our role is to keep our hopes bigh but our heads clear." He said every suggestion must be considered "honestly and dis passionately," and that the United States should look for "bases of agreement and ... be willing to take some reasonable chances." "To want peace is to want com promise," he said. "It is not to demand perfection but to be will ing to accept something less, per haps much less, than perfection but better than the alternative which is a sharpening and pro longing of ugly, dangerous ten sions." ' Stevenson said the "effective ness of this nation's participating depends not in any sense upon the President alone. "If we the people are uncom promising, he said, "if we equate negotiation with appease ment, if we think war is inevit able, if we regard every Soviet proposal as a trick and a trap, If we think that what is advan tageous for the other, then we the people will have ruled out bargaining. " "Not even the president can negotiate If we tie his hands, he contended. dence motion n be debated by the Chamber of Defutics Wednesday. Scclba's coaltion enjoys only an eight-vote majority in the cham ber. So the Premier must win full backing from his own party and his allies if he is to win the confidence vote. In preparation for the .debate, the Christian Democrats' parlia mentary committees conferred most of the weekend. Many mem bers found fault with Scclba's coalition, declaring they would prefer to try one-party, govern ment, even though they do not have a majority. Ex-Premier Giuseppe Pella, leader of the anti-Scclba right wing of the Christian Democrats, attacked the Premier's record and demanded formation of a new government. Scelha's present Cabinet has seven Social Democrat and Lib eral ministers out of 21 pests. The minority Republicans and several splinter factions also support the government. Adding to the Premier's woes, the' Social Democrats' national council Sunday night laid down long and tough terms for their continued support. The council declared "collaboration is no long er possible" unless Scelba's gov ernment pushes through a scries of the Socialists' favorite projects. Leading the list was passage by parliament of a new election law giving minor parties a better break in proportional returns. nnn :K II !

Smaller Firms, Union Confer PITTSBURGH Wl The "clO United Steelworkers this week begin presenting demands for a "substantial" wage increase to 00 basic steel and ore mining firms. Six of the nation's largest basic steel producers listened to the union's proposals last week and called a temporary halt in nego tiations to study them.

Raymond Wool, He told of giving some guts, but no money, to other procurement personnel. i A business competitor, Leon M Levy, of New York, had told of the $50,000 and said he himself had paid out some money for gifts through a business associate. McCIellan, referring to this and other testimony, said, "If we find such conditions in one place, it is our clear duty to investigate whether any other agency of the military is contaminated.

McCIellan called for swift ac tion by the Justice Department! on the basis of the' hearings just completed, but Sen.
