ROME By MaiD Russian and
Yugoslav officers, camouf1aged as
business representatives, are known
to have settled In many Northern
Italian cities, such as Milan, Turin,
Florence and Genoa.
Using import or export businesses
as window dressing, they are known
to be in close touch with Commu-
mist headquarters and are prepar-
ing for the day when American
troops leave and the signal is given
to the Communists to undertake an
active campaign for power.
Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito has
concentrated sizable force on
Italy's borders. He has no inten-
ton of doing anything as long as
there Is even a thin curtain of
American forces in Italy and as long
as the Communists in Italy are
merely agitating without using di-
rect action. But many prominent
Italians and foreigners believe that
Northern Italy, with its large and
modern industries which suffered
little damage from the war, is COW
eted by the Slavic bloc.
Militarily Northern Italy is of
paramount Importance for the U. s.
s. r. and her satellites. They want
to establish direct contact between
Trieste and Genoa and thus reach
the French border.
Any military aggression, such as
an invasion of Italy, seems to be
precluded because the United Ma
tions would react Immediately. But
II Palmiro Togliatti's party decides
that democratic Northern Italy"
must break away from the ''reac-
tionary and royalist" south, the
situation might become very serious.
Italy became a united country less
than 100 years ago. Before that it
was divided into small states which
frequently fought each other. Polit-
ical observers here say it would not
be difficult for a well organized
group under the orders of a foreign
power to divide the Italian republic
again. And it might be In order

are more than a summary of ac-
complishments or a record OF the

point up sharply what still needs

couraging to look over these re-
ports and see what great strides
have been made against some
of our major disease enemies.

BY sIGRID ARNE

Washington. - Some of the
doctors at the bedside of con-
valescent Europe are talking
of a customs union for the
continent.
The subject has come up both
at Geneva, where world trade
rules are being worked out,
and at Paris, where the Europ-
cans are trying to find out what
they can do for themselves.
So, what is a customs union?
Il is an agreement among
two or more nations to charge
no tariffs on the goods they buy
from each other The result is
that consumers in those nations
pay a little less for each others
goods. And the hope is that
trade between the countries
will pick up because of the
lower prices.
"Benelux" Goes to Work
There is such a union now
in Europe among Belgium, the
Netherlands and Luxembourg.
In diplomatic slang It's "Bene-
lux for the names OF the three
nations.
The nations balance each 9TH
er happily. Belgium and tiny
Luxembourg III two of the
most highly industrialized areas
in the world. The Netherlands
turns out a good deal of food.
They r in a good position to
swap.
For years economists have
thought Europeans were pretty
blind to cut up their continent
with all sorts of tariffs against
each others goods. 1t was as
though California slapped a tar
iff on overcoats from New York,
and New York let in Florida
oranges free but charged a fee
on California oranges.
Part of the fabulous produc-
ton of the United States stems
from the fact that goods made
here can be sold over so large
an area-right in the country
without duties and tariffs
tackled into the prices.
Trouble Possible
There are possible big leaks
in a customs union row-boat.
Take the Benelux Union. Sup
pose Belgium prices began to
rise because Belgium exported
too much goods to France and
England and goods to France
and England and goods got
short at home. The Dutch
would have to pay more for
Belgian goods. But the Bel
gians, still paying the lower
Dutch prices, would begin to
buy more in the Netherlands.
Belgian reserves of Dutch guild
ers (the money of the Neither
landsl would begin to evapor-
ate. The Belgian government
would have to limit the goods
its people bought from the
Dutch.
The Benelux area would no
longer be a free trade area.
u. S. government economists,
who II watching the Benelux
agreement, say the three gov
ernments could take steps to
prevent such a jam. They say
the next step. ideally, would be
to create a common money.
Also they say there would
have to be some production
planning so that factory and
farm prices would stay in a
constant relation to each other.

worried under a European Gus
toms union. Swiss tyoewriters
