REPUBLIC OF
 ITALY 10 BE
 PROCLAIMED
Formal Announce menf Saturday, May
 Be First President

ROME, June 6--Grizzled 86-year- old Vittorio Emanuele Orlando was winning wide mention today as a likely compromise candidate for first president of Italy's new re- public as the nation awaited form al proclamation of the end of the Monarch.
 Orlando, only survivor of the Big Four of Versailles, was being pro- posed, political observers said, be- cause as a Sicilian he would be able to repair the schism shown at the polls between the industrial north-which favored the republic and the south-which supported the House of Savoy.
 It appeared likely, however, that Orlando would face powerful op- position from the Communists, third strongest party in the week. end elections. Palmiro Togliatto, Minister of Justice and Com munist leader, declared in final campaign speech that the Com munists never" would collaborate with Orlando, whose National Democratic Union ran fourth in the balloting.
 The first president of the new state will be selected at the new Constituent Assembly's first session June 24, and he in turn will select the new premier. Premier Alcide de Gasperi is expected to be called upon to continue in office.
 The republic will be proclaimed formally Saturday at solemn cer- emony in the ornate Hall of the Wolf" in the Chamber of Deputies.

FAIR EXCHANGE

SPOKANE, June 6.-Misery loves company-fortunately for MT. and Mrs. A. Strickler of Oroville and MT. and Mrs. Elmer Wynecoop of Wellpinit.
 The Wynecoops had flat tire on the highway and no spare. Shortly after, the Strickler's car slowed to a stop behind them - out of gas
 It was simple: The Stricklers loaned the Wynecoops a tire and the Wynecoops sowed the Stricklers to town. The Wynecoops bought a tube and the Stricklers bought gas

NEW THREAT

WASHINGTON, June 6-Thous- ands of AFL seamen walked off their ships in American seaports today, adding the threat of an AFL strike to the grave maritime labor situation.
 As the AFL men met in simul- taneous 'stop-work" meeting at 3 ID. m. (EST), Harry Lundeberg, President of the AFL Seafarers In- ternational Union, said in San Francisco 1t was possible that the emergency meeting would develop into a nationwide maritime strike.
 Until today the maritime crisis centered on CIO unions whose rep- resentatives were in Washington.
 Also in the capital a Congress ional committee decided to hold hearings in an effort to prevent a maritime strike.
 Demonstrate Unity
 One CIO national maritime union official, George M. Kekiche ot Seattle. said enroute to join his ct,- leagues in Washington, that NMU members at ports throughout the country were joining the AFL sea- men in today's stop work move ments' as a demonstration of un- ity"
 Negotiations between the NMu and eastern ship operators con- tinued at the Labor Department and signs they were reaching deadlock after the operators re- jection of the unions last offer a 44-hour week at sea. Seamen now work 56. The union first de- manded a 40-hour week.
 There were reports that the War Shipping Administration might step into the talks soon, showing the operators aside and dealing directly with the CIO maritime leaders, Harry Bridges and Joe Curran.

USO Gives Picnic For Cren
OF Sub-T ender USS Gilmore
By MARIPosA HAYES

Sunday was another exciting
day for the crew of the USS
Howard w. Gilmore and the
junior and senior hostesses of
the Jackson Square USO and
Duval Street US0. Two huge
motor launches were lowered
from the decks of the subn1a-
rine tender Gilmore, and into
them piled a big crowd of jolly
boys and girls. The picnic
outing was well planned by the
Gilmore doctor, Cecilia Rogan
and Wahita Burt of the USOs.
Quantities of Coca-C Cola, sand
witches, and refreshments in
general, were loaded aboard and
yours Truly" went along to
provide entertainment with
ukelele and fortune telling cards.
The trip to Sand Key was
heavenly, and cool, and we felt
sorry for those Boys" who had
duty and were not able to come
along. We especially missed Chap
lain Barr who heretofore has
been such an asset to these out
ings, and extend our sympathy,
that he has been confined to ''sick
bay" fo.. a few days. ''Bonne
Guerison.' Monsieur lie Cure!"
The swimming at Sand Key
reminds one OF those famous
white beaches in the Bahama
and the big 'Tour-Iffel"
like lighthouse is supposed to
have been given to the Spanish
by France. 1t is a most intriguing
spot and lent itself well to pic
ture taking. Several Of us had
happily brought along our CAM
eras.
May we also extend our "Bon
greetings, to Wanita
Burt who is leaving us, we are
sorry to say, and going to Vero
Beach, Fla? Wanita has been an
integral part of the activities of
jackson Square USO and will be
missed by her many friends here
in Key West.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 2 (ANP)
The Red Cross annual fund drive
was given a boost here by DR.. Will
lam Henry Jernagin, director OF
the Washington bureau of the Ma
tional Fraternal Council Of Negro
churches and pastor Of Mt. Carmel
Baptist church.
Basing his appeal for support of
the Red Cross drive upon his recent
tour of Army and navy outposts in
the the Pacific, DR.. Jernagin said:
''It was very happy privilege to
visit Red Cross installations in the
Manila area Two clubs were
stated entirely by American Ne
gro personnel, but were serving
very effectively all races and doing
commendable work. This was also
true of the clubs staffed by white
personnel. found in these installa-
tions no segregation"
The Fraternal Council, organized
in 1888 embraces II religious de-
nominations and has membership
of seven million people. Ten years
later, on March 1, 1943, the bureau
was opened in Washington to in
vestigate legislation before con-
gress and work for the protection
of minority rights. The council
functions also as a cement between
groups of Negroes of varying re-
ligious beliefs.
"The American Red Cross says
