The Navy said Admiral j. j. Clark,
assistant chief OF naval operations

bases to stand by to fly rescue work
ers and supplies to the area.
Six doctors and 40 nurses Of the
Public Health Service ofiices in New
Orleans, Fort Worth and Kirkwood,

mediately.
The Washington headquarters Of
the Veterans Of Foreign Wars,
through National Commander Louis

Texas to mobilize all resources" to
help In the disaster.
The Air. Transport Command
also placed 25 evacuation planes at
the disposal Of authorities on the
scene.
Mr.. Reddy and Mr.. Crane headed
q squad Of disaster relief experts
to fly to the Texas tragedy yester-
day. Mr.. Reddy, SO, and a veteran
OF 2s years of disaster relief, re-
turned to Washington only a few
days ago from the Centralia, Ill,

Mr. Reddy has directed Red Cross

Italy May Be Next to Request
Economic Support F rom u. S.

sia and from black market manipu-
lation.
There Is hunger, q good breeding
ground for communism, In Italy
Although Italians need not actually
starve, the actions of the govern
ment are such that living has be-
come an increasingly difficult task
for the masses of people.
No one accuses Premier Alcide de
Gasperi Of communist inclinations.
But being head of stop gap gov
ernment, he does not dare oppose
the social and economic plans of the
Communist ministers. In this way
he is'avoiding a cabinet crisis before
the elections, which are scheduled to
be held this summer
The country Is divided. The in
dustrial north is leftist Socialist,
while the south is conservative and
royalist. 1t Is in the north that Mr..
Togliatti is most active. Money is
being spent lavishly among the
workers of that most productive por-
ton of Italy.
The partisan organizations, created
during the war by the Communists
and provided with small arms. and
machine guns by the Allies, still
exist. The Allied occupation forces
have never insisted that these wea-
pons, dropped into italy by plane or
sn1uggled In by sea, be surrendered.
As q result, according to reliable
reports, there are today some 1000
tommyguns and submachineguns
and many rifles and pistols among
former members OF the resistance
movement.
The failure to collect these war;
time weapons has provided the Ital-
ian Communists with the nucleus
for an armed organization.

Of environment seemed necessary

ROME (By MaiD Italy Is likely
to be the next to ask for American
economic support. In the past
month the country's condition has
deteriorated to such an extent that
italian leaders and foreign observers
believe that Italy may soon request
the United States to assume respon-
sibilities similar to those which are
now under congressional considera-
tion for Greece and Turkey.
As In the other Mediterranean
countries, the italian problem is
primarily political. Italy's economic
and financial difficulties are inten-
dfied, prolonged and to some extent
created by the machinations Of the
Communists, who are the most
forceful members Of the government.
Coupled with the Communist men
ace Is the fear that soon after the
withdrawal of the small American
force the threat from Yugoslavia
will once more become acute.
,g A crisis similar to that which
exists in Greece Is expected to take
place within a few months after the
ratification Of the Italian peace
treaty by the United States Senate.
The Italian Communist Party
boasts Of membership of two mil
lion persons. The figure does not
appear to be exaggerated, consider
ing that many former Fascists have
found haven from punishment by
joining that party.
