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

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.

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.
No dates have been set for re

These negotiations were held
in Pittsburgh with USW Presi

conduct most of the talks with
the smaller companies.
The USW hasn't spelled out
what it considers a substantial
raise. But McDonald reportedly
has said he wants more than
"nickels and dimes" for the
600,000 union members in basic
steel, who now average $2.33

fined to wages.

He told of giving some guts, but

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.
SWIFT ACTION URGED
Staff investigators already are
working on other areas of pro
curement, McCIellan said.
McCIellan called for swift ac

on the basis of the' hearings just
completed, but Sen. Mundt (R

ber, said some points should be
cleared up before a report is
made to the department. He said
the record contains too many

Chief Minister David Marshall
ordered the arrests under emer

to deal with the Communist guer

was a major campaign promise by
Marshall's labor front before its
election victory last April.
