TE GASPERI, In his brief up pcurunco before the confer ence, adds: "The treaty draft drnwn up by the foreign ministers coun cil is a hnrd treaty, indeed." He overlooks the fact that Italy is a Iwo-tlmo loser. Twice in a row she picked the wrong crowd to gang up with. In the natural course of events, people (and nations) who do thut pay heavy penalties.

D.. and a monument in memory of the late president. "The area that would be established-, by this bill as the Theodore Roosevelt national park." the president said in a memorandum of disapproval, "does not possess those out standing natural features of scenic qualities that would jus tify its establishment as a na tional park and has no direct historical association with Theodore Roosevelt. "Neither the Maltese Cross ranch, in which President Roosevelt had an interest, nor the Elkhorn ranch, which he owned, are embraced within the proposed park area." The president said the land within the proposed site is now a part of the Theodore Roose velt national wildlife refuge, and is "best fitted for use as a wildlife protection and manage ment area." He said if a national park is to be established in honor of the late president, it should "more fully measure up to the standards developed and main- I tained in the past for national I narks " Patients Chained In Nursing Home INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 10 (P) Officers said today they found elderly patients chained to their beds behind locked doors in a nursing home on Indian apolis' near north side.

Aug. 10 Wi Panic spread through the north ern provinces ol tnis paltered country today, with hunger threatening the weary popula tion as the result of a six-day ordeal of earthquakes and tidal waves which have killed 73 per sons and left 20,000 homeless. Two new tremblors were felt this morning, at 4 a. m. and 6:50 a. m., but they did not add to the damage. With earth tremors of varying Intensity jarring the terrain throughout the republic about every five minutes, fear has gripped the inhabitants, particu larly about Bahia Escocesa (Scatch bay) in the northern part of the island, where there is great apprehension that violent shocks will strike again. Not a single inhabitant re mains in the shattered coastal towns of Matanzas, Puerto Plata, Batcy, Samana and Sanchez where there was a swift evacua tion following Sunday's earth quakes. Many refugees from the destroyed towns are living in trees and caves in nearby hills. The Red Cross has set up refu gee camps in the northern prov inces, but present accommoda tions are not sufficient for the thousands of homeless. Towns Wiped Out (Travelers arriving in San Juan. Puerto Rico, from the Dominican Republic, said vir tually all the houses in Matanzas, which had a populaton of 1000 were washed away by the tidal wave and tnat the destruction was equally severe in Julia Mo lina and San Francisco de Ma coris). Attempts by the government to rush lood to the stricken areas have been seriously hampered by the, washing out of roads and bridges by flooded rivers. ' The revised death toll included 39 persons killed by a tidal wave which struck the northern city of Bajio. The injured there to taled 139. It was previously believed that 50 lost their lives at Bajio. The shocks were believed caused by a shift in the bed of the Atlantic at its deepest point 50 miles northeast of the island, where the water is 28,680. feet deep. Big Shake-Up Made In VAA WASHINGTON. Aue. in tlPi A wholesale shakeup of an en tire division of the war assets administration, including the dismissal of 52 paid consultants, was made public by WAA-today. Director Robert M. Little john announced that he had ordered "drastic changes" and a reorganization of the elec tronics division, which handles sales of surplus radio and radar equipment. Other WAA officials gave a fuller picture: The director, Robert S. McCurdy, resigned a week ago, and scores of Wash ington and field office employes have been dropped. The division has been criti cized by Sen. Wiley (R-Wis.), who said it failed to get sur plus radio equipment into the hands, of veterans and small business, by Sen. Wherry (R Neb.) for "apparently monopo listic" methods of concentrating surplus sales in a few large corporations, and by other con gress members. The Man' Tells Nation Of Membership In 'Bilbo Kl an No. 40' Of Home Siate WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 VP) Sen. Theodore Bilbo "The Man" Bilbo (D-Miss.) told a nationwide radio audience last night that he is a member of the Ku Klux Klan although "not in sympathy with some of the things in it." "I am a member of the Ku Klux Klan No. 40, called the Bilbo Klan No. 40, Mississippi," the senator said in answer to a question by Lawrence Spivak of the American Mercury. "I attended one meeting and have not attended it since, be cause I was not In sympathy with some of the things in it," he added. Bilbo declared he could get klan support now because "no man can leave the klan. He takes an oath not to do that. Once a Ku Klux, always a Ku Klux." The senator was interviewed by four newspaper and magazine correspondents in the Mutual broadcasting system network show "Meet the Press." The In terviewers were Ernest K.

' As for Trieste and the Istrian peninsula, the Italian pleaded "What good will come of clinging to a solution which only bids for new trouble?" M 'With regard to reparations," De Casperi said, "Italy though prepared lor all necessary sacri fices, must make it clear that she cannot underwrite indefinite sac rifices for an indefinite period. Big Rusian Demand Soviet Russia seeks $100,000, 000 reparations from the Italians. The Italian premier argued that the Italian fleet had served under the allies for three years and should not be treated as war booty. There was a stiff and stony silence in the chamber of Lux embourg palace as the Italian statesman left the speaker'! stand after his 41-minute ad dress. Only U. S. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes relieved the coldness of the occasion. The secretary reached out as Lie Gasperi passed him and shook the Italian s hand. Premier De Gasperi spoke the case for the former axis power before the conference after a morning session devoted to an inconclusive debate over an in vitation to Albania to attend. In the course of that debate Rus sia's V. M. Molotov walked out on an address by Constantin Tsaldaris, chief Creek dele gate and foe of the Albanian regime.

Andrews asked him about the statement he was reported to have made during his recent campaign that "the way to stop negroes from voting was to start from the night before." Bilbo: "The reporters may not be so reliable." Andrews: "I think on this, sir, I would bet on the reporters' integrity against yours, because all of the reporters seem to agree on that particular quote." The senator then said the exact statement he made was: "The best time to keep a nigger away from a white primary in Mississippi was to see him the night before." During the course of the 30 minute broadcast, Bilbo termed Senator Taft (R-Ohio) the "blah-blah-blah of the senate," said Hodding Carter, Pulitzer prize winner and publisher of the Greenville, Miss., Times, is "the biggest liar in the South," and U. S; Hands Strong Note To Romania WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 () The United States has protested strongly to the communist dom inated government of Romania against detention of Romanian citizens employed by the United States military ai.J poiH'cal mis sions at Bucharest.

On that night Romanian gov ernment agents arrested Miss Elvira Olteanu, a clerk in th American political mission head ed by Minister Burton Y. Berry. Held Incommunicado Despite persistent efforts hv Berry to obtain her release. Mis Olteanu Is still held incommuni cado reportedly on a charge that she gave some sort of informa tion to the United States. Also held incommunicado Is Teodor Manicatide, an employe of the military mission headed oy ong uen. G. V. R. Schuyler, American representative on the allied control commission. Like Mis Olteanu, Manicatide is accused of membership in three secret terrorist organiza tions add "espionage" for a foreign power. Another incident that nieht was the disappearance of Alex andra Stanescu, another employ of the military mission. His fate is a mystery.

Taft was prompted by a question from Dickson in which he quoted Taft as saying Bilbo was a "disgrace to the senate." Bilbo declared Taft "has played every string on the in strument in his effort to line up what we call the pinks and reds and the off-brand of the political life of America, to further his interest as a candidnte for the presidency of the United States." Andrews asked if Bilbo agreed with a magazine poll which voted him the "worst man in the sen ate" and Bilbo retorted: "The best judge of senatorial service would be the people ol the state, and I am perfectly satisfied with their verdict every time I have asked for the Job, three times." Pickets from several organlza tlons marched back and forth in front of Mutual studios here and in New York during tha broad cast. A
