AMERICAN PLAN
 FOR RELIEF WORK
 ADOPTED IN ITALY
Lessons Learned at San Francisco Put Into Prac-
 tice at Messina and Reg
Special from United Press.)

| Rome, Jan. 12-The government to-
 Francisco at the time of it's earthquake l in regard to relief work. Messina and | Reggie will be assigned to different departments. There will be those of firsnce, rehabilitation, food supplies, health, hospitals and shelter. Ambassador Griscom, who has re- ! turned to Rome from the quake region, says that the Archibishops of Messina
 and Reggie told him that the liberal ity of America and England had prov ed that Italy must rely on those coun-
 tries for her greatest aid. In compli- l ance with their request MT. Griscom today saw Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul and told him that the Archbish ops of the stricken territory were counting on him for further aid. Arch bishop Ireland promised to do every ready appealed to the Bishops of his diocese and to many prominent lay men in all parts of America for fur ther assistance.
 Several cases of the discovery of sur Vivors in the ruins at Messina were reported today.
 The attitude of the church regard Ing relief work IS opposed to that Of the government. The latter is anx ious to dispense with all outside aid at once, as it considers furtherance of foreign help a reflection on the cou,l- try's ability to care for it's own people. This is why the services of the crews of the four American battleships were refused after they had arrived at Mes sina.
 The church people say this is not the time to display national pride at the expense of thousands of suffering sur vivors. The problem is so large, tkey say, that it is no evidence of national weakness to admit the inability to handle it properly without assistance from other countries.
