Clare Luce Denies Red Accusations ROME W U. S. Ambassador Clare" Booths Luce has fired beck a flat denial to a magazine report that she criticized Italy's govern ment In a speech to Washington newsmen. After publication of the report, 35 far leftist senators de manded that she be ousted from the country. Her statement, terming the ac count of the purported speecn a "fabrication pure ana simple, was issued coinctdentally with a report from Washington that Mrs. Luce had urgently requested Pres ident Elsenhower to send Vice President Nixon on a brief good will tour of Italy to combat Com munist propaganda. Mrs. lAice, in i-aris to corner with U. S. and Nato officials, de clined to comment on this report. It said Mrs. Luce had recom mended the Nixon trip when she visited Washington in January but that Eisenhower bad not decided whether be could spare Nixon from his duties in Washington. U. S. Embassy officers nere saia (hey knew nothing about any plans for the vice president to visit Italy, where Communist gains in the election last summer and since have aroused Increasing American concern. The independent weekly "L' Europeo" had claimed last week that Mrs. Luce In a speech to a group of correspondents in Wash ington Jan. 5 told them she had urged Italian leaders to crack down harder on communism. The article also quoted her as saying she had warned ex-Premer Alclde de Gasperi that further Italian de lays in ratifying - the European army treaty would result in a "big cut in the figures of American aid." The day after the article's pub lication, the group of senators asked the government to declare Mrs. Luce, persona non grata (no longer acceptable),! an action which would have automatically forced her recall.
