Bill 10 Return Property
To Italy Is Weighed
by the Assoeiotsd Press

The House Commerce Committee
today considered legislation to re-
turn to Italy s6O,000, 900 in wartime
seized property and provide 81 ships
for the Italian merchant marine.
The measure, already passed oy
the Senate, is aimed at bolstering
Italy's shaky economy and helping
rebuild the Italian merchant ma
rine, since that nation depends
heavily on eXport-import trade.
Sponsors planned to rush the bill
to President Truman before Con-
eress adjourns, describing it as a
step in a broad foreign policy goal
of stemming Communist expansion.
Representative Lodge, Republican,
of Connecticut told the committee
the United States must do "all we
can to help italy become a bastion
of liberty rather than Communism,
adding that aid is needed urgently
to keep Italy from falling under
Moscow's control. Mr.. Lodge Is a
Foreign Affairs Committee member
Representative Hinshaw, Repub.
lican, of California, committee
member, commented, however, thai
"it's the same old story that was
told after World War I when We
restored ships and property to Ger
many"
Assistant Secretary of State Thorp
without mentioning Russia directly
said that "the political implications
Of such assistance to the italian
economy would clearly be most salu.
tary and desirable from this Gov.

Seminary Head Names }
Rivals Of Christian Faith
By the Associotsd Press

WHITLEY, Ontario. July 17.-Dr.
Henry Pitney van Dusen of New
York, president of the Union Theo-
logical Seminary, says that Com
munism, Islam and political Ro-
manism" at present are "the three
most powerful rivals, If not the
enemies, of Christian faith In vari-
Gus parts of the world"
with all their variety, indeed
enmity, they are alike in underlying
character the Philadelphia born
Protestant theologian told the In
ternational Missionary Council here
last night. All are totalitarian-
isms, both in their conscription Of
the whole of life and in their am
bition to dominate the whole
world. ."
"All hold out before men the
promise of gifts valued more highly
by the masses than any now pos
sessed or promised by the dying
society. These promises are mainly
personal opportunity and security
and self-fulillment through partici-
patton in shaping a communal
destiny"
DR.. van Dusen said 'the Christian
Church" must answer these forces
with reformation and world wide
Christian unity. He defined reforma- =
ton as partly movement of
spiritual revitalization and partly a
movement Of human emancipation

PHILADELPHIA, JULY l7.-Nine
human guinea pigs today started
on a series Of ear-splitting tests at

capacity of man to endure 1t.
In what is believed to be the
first experiment of its kind in the
world, nine enlisted men. all volun-
teers, early this morning were led
into a small concrete reinforced
cubicle. In the middle of 1t was
an early-type jet engine.
AS the men, wearing helmets,
settled themselves on various
chalked-out positions, the engine
was started, its first low whoosh
quickly turning into a thunderous
crescendo of noise and vibration.
An hour later. the men. whose
ages vary from IS to II, were still
taking the heat and the conclusion,
with none apparently even wincing.

Soviet Keeps lis Steel,
U. ). Exports 10 World,
Senate Group Told
By the Associated Press

Homer Zopf, special consultant to
the Senate Small Business Subcom-
mittee on Steel, sal dtoday that
Russia is retaining all steel pro-
duced by itself and its satellite
countries and the rest of the world
is depending on the United States.
Mr.. Zopf gave the subcommittee
estimates that the combined de-
mand for semifinished steel at home
and abroad is 10000, 900 ingot tons,
as against expected world produc-
ton OF IS 5,000,00 tons.
with an overall shortage Of steel
Indicated" he said, ut seems evil
dent that 1t will not be possible to
satisfy all domestic and export de-
mands and that exports must be
measured with an eye to the effects
on the domestic economy"
Undersecretary Of Commerce Will
liam c. Foster whose department
administers the export licensing sys-
tenn, gave the subcommittee state
ment saying the department has
begun a thorough re-examination
OF the steel export situation" to find
out If any new steps are needed to
protect the domestic supply.
Mr.. Zopf said Russia's production
is expected to reach q, ,W0, 600 tons
this year but none of this steel will
be available for Europe and the rest
of the world"
Not only will Russia keep all Of
the steel it produces but the proba-
bilities are that it will syphon off
surplus steel from its satellites
Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Po-
land, which immobilizes another
1000, 900 tons of STEEL the witness
said.
All told, therefore, Russia and
satellites will produce and keep fol
internal consumption close to 80,
000, 600 tons of steel in 1917.
This leaves the burden Of the
worlds import requirements for iron
and steel almost entirely on the
United States" which itself, has a
serious shortage, Mr.. Zopf added.

To Pick u. ). Students
For Studies Abroad

President Truman today appointed
a 1o-man Board Of Foreign Scholar
ships to select American students for
study abroad under the Fllbright
Act.

with foreign governments for the
use of part OF the money they pay
in buying American war surplus
materials to finance studies of
American citizens in their own edu-
cational institutions, and the travel
Of their own citizens to attend
schools in this country.
The State Department said sale Of
surplus property abroad is sufficient
to make available so far about $137.-
100000 to "a countries for the edu-
cational exchanges over the next 20
years. Annual expenditure under
the program is xepected to run about
81, ,0oo, 900.
Russia Not Eligible.
The law, sponsored by Senator
Democrat of Arkansas,
limits the amount to be devoted to
educational exchanges in any one
country to $4,000, 900 to be used at
the rate of not more than $1,000, 900
annually.
At a news conference held after
White House announcement Of ap-
pointment of the board to supervise
the program. Senator Fulbright told
questioners that Russia is not in
line to take part in the program as
yet because the Soviet has not
bought any American surplus prop
eFty. He said, however, it is possible
Russia might qualify under lend
lease settlement negotiations now
but there is no indication
of such action.
The State Department has re-
ceived about $4,000 applications.
