(International Soundphoto) Italy's Land Plan Upsets Communist Party Discipline Grosseto, Italy (U.fi) The Italian government's land-for-the poor program has upset Com munist party discipline in this Red-dominated farm area of small farms. The government has started the distribution of small farms to the landless peasant of this region. Communists are urging party members to refuse the grants to the land, reclaimed from once malaria - ridden marshes, on the ground that it is no good. Officials in charge of the pro gram said that so far only one Communist peasant has turned down an offer of a farm for his own. Two days later, he changed his mind and said he wanted it after all. The desire for land is power ful among Italy's peasant and sharecropper class. The govern ment is counting heavily on the land reform program to woo them from Communism. Called "Revolution" Premier Alcide de Gasperl, who came here to present farms to 178 peasants, told them the expropriation of land from the wealthy for assignment to the poor was a peaceful revolution which deserved their full sup port. Speaking In an area where the Communists outpolled his Christian Democratic Party by four to one in last year's local elections, de Gasperl said: "This is a peaceful revolution which gets results without shedding blood." The premier assured the peas ants that the land reform would continue. The council of state in Rome followed up his promise by rejecting charges by land owners who have lost part of their estates that the expropria tion was unconstitutional. Peasants Jealous The difficulties confronting the program do not come only from Communists or the wealthy landowners, however. The peas ants themselves are so jealous of ; the land they get that they spurn I appeals for co-operative opera-1 tion with their neighbors. That has been especially true here in Tuscany, where the in-1 riividualism that marks Italians' in general is especially strong. I Government officials said it Is an uphill right to persuade the peasants that state help In the form of technical, economic and! financial aid will be more effec tive if the peasants work to gether on a co-operative basis at the outset. Peasants Admonished " Giuseppe Medici, chief of the local land program, and minister of agriculture Amintore Fanfani told the 178 peasants: "Remem ber to be successful on your'new farms, you must collaborate among yourselves. Don't shut yourself up on your own farm." Fanfani said 108,560 acres of land have been distributed since the program started almost two years ago and that the figure will reach 173,900 acres by then end of April. Land that has been earmarked for expropriation totals 1,973, 650 acres in the Italian penin sula, Sicily and Sardinia Woodworkers Threaten Strike Portland (U.R) The CIO International Woodworkers of America said Saturday its mem bers will strike April 28 if em ployers in Pacific Northwest forest industries fail to grant their new contract demands. A referendum vote recently approved granting the regional negotiating committee authority to call a strike if no agreements were reached. Thus far, the"nnlon, which rep resents 50,000 loggers and forest industry workers on 700 opera tions, has signed only with Wey erhaeuser Timber company. It has been conferring with the Willamette Valley Operators as sociation. No other negotiations were reported. Young.
