1t was emphasized in informed

that while all these subjects might
be considered quite fully, the dis

tory. They would be aimed at clear

worked out in detail later with other

any united front demands by the

Premier Pietro Badoglia made his
first appearance in Naples today
since this port city was freed from
German occupation. He was ac-
companied by American Minister
Robert Murphy and British Min
lister Harold Macmillan.
Although Mr.. Murphy described
the visit as routine business" the
presence of the American and
British North Africa representatives
lent prestige to Badoglio's arrival
and caused speculation over whether
it was an indication that the Italian
Premier has full British and Ameri-
can support for his government.
Some of Italys major political
leaders have expressed a lukewarm
attitude toward Badoglio. but it ap-
peared likely that if the Allies
tacitly or otherwise approve his
regime the parties are unlikely to
offer active opposition.
