ROME, (P)-NeWspaper reports said yesterday a general strike had been called in a third Sicilian city, CaltoniSetta, and that new disQr- derS had erupted in north, south and central Italy.
 At Catania, a back-to- work movement resulted in most stores of that Sicilian city reopening and in taxis and horse cabs returning to their stands. However, printers and barbers joined the strike and buses and StreetcarS still were tied up. Five strike leaders were under arrest.
 Disunion was reported among the labor unions participating in the general strike in Palermo, also in Sicily the vote in the unions council of leagues authorizing the strike was reported as 39 for, three against, with six abSentions and 51 absences.
 The Caltanisetta strike was voted Is to Is by the local cham Der of labor, affiliated with the Communist-cont nat O a general confederation of labor. Earlier dispatches said strike in that city of 5O,OOO might be called to back demands for unemploy- ment relief, the reasons for the general walkouts in Catania and Pelermo and earlier in Rome.
 In the last five weeks, Italian disorders have resulted in B po- litical killings and the pillaging and burning of about 100 party headquarters, most of them of the extreme right Uomo Qualunque (ComrnOn Man) movement ----

Truman Asks For I7 Billions For European Aid
(BY Sterling F. Green)

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman's blueprint for European recovery calls for less help than the l6 Marshall plan nations asked for, and higher prices for what they do get.
 Behind the chief executives message to Congress today propos- ing O,0OO,OOO four-year as sistance program is an exhaustive government study overhauling the economic planning done by the Marshall plan nations at Paris in September
 Released by the state depart ment simultaneously with the reading of the Presidents message to Congress, this study notifies Europe that the United States can not supply as much grain, fats and oils, petroleum, fertilizer, tractors or freight cars as the Paris report requested.
 It also suggests that the Paris plans be revised further to:
 1. Increase Europe's own ex- ports, even though it might mean slower rise in living standards there.
 2. Slow down plans for factory, power plant and housing expan- sion on the ground that excessive capital formation" means, less goods for consumers, lower ex- ports. and imitation.
 3. Charter 300 ships from the United States temporarily, in ad- dition to the planned purchase of 200 war-built vessels, and reduce Europe's own four-year objective of l5,700,O00 tons of ship construc-

LONDON, (P) - British foreign secretary Ernest Bevin said yes terday Russia's hostile propa- ganda" during the London confer ence of the Big Four foreign min iSters council had made it impOs- sible to get to grips with the fun damental principles involved"
 In a formal report to the House of Commons, Bevin also charged that Soviet opposition to participa- ton by her neighboring countries in the Marshall plan" is violating the free choice of free states and is an interference with their inde- pendence and sovereignty"
 Just as he told Soviet foreign minister V. M. Molotov himself near the close of the talks Monday Bevin reported to the House that i've were met with a number of long speeches and unjustified and 1 false accusations"
 Bevin said unfortunately, ever since it's creation," the council has alternated between carrying out its origipal purpose of drafting treaties for submission to a peace conference and being used for en- tirely different purposes"
 There is no doubt that this has created despondency in the world" Bevin said.
 He asserted that any govern ment to be set up in Germany must be representative "and not a

Will Present
 Alaska Develop nent Program
(By Mary Lee Council)

Reports are being heard in Washington with increasing ire quency that the regular session of Congress, convening in January will be presented with a rounded program for the development of Alaska.
 All departments of the federal government having interest in the Territory will, it is rumored, join in presenting the program. It has even been hinted there may be a special Presidential message on the subject.
 Previous declarations by the President and the military to the effect that proper defense of Alaska demands the economic de- velopment of the Territory through increased civilian settlement bear out this rumor.
 It is understood the department of the interior is experimenting the program with the strong backing of all interested departments and will seek funds far in excess of anything ever before appropriat- ed, especially with respect to transportation facilities.
 The actual figures are a matter of secrecy until the President pre- sents his budget message to Con- gress in January.

continuing through the 22nd. When
Jacob awakened from his dream af-
ter sleeping on a stone for a pillow,
he realized that the Lord was in
that place land that was none other
than the house of God, and he gate
to heaven. The sermon was a very
helpful one to all. Rev. Jarviss
cousin and family, Mr.. and Mrs.
Dondal Moore and two children and
Mr.. MOore's mother of Washington,
D. c., who are at Rehoboth, came
over to hear him preach and to see

| Transit Experts Held
Needed in Planning

z. D. Merrill, president OF the
Capital Transit Co.. believes PLAN
ming agencies should include transit
experts on their board.
Mr.. Merrill took this stand yester-
day IN an address to the Civitan
Club in the Mayfiower Hotel, during
which he also reiterated his opposi-
tion to construction Of costly" SUBJ
ways for Washington.
On the question Of planning. Mr.
Merrill commented: Those who are
responsible for raising the Capital
and meeting the operating budgets
should, In my opinion, work with
The planners from the start so that
the building plans will - include
the public transit angle which is
most important to the majority OF
people"
Mr.. Merrill listed these objections
to subways:
/. They would require passengers
to 60 up and down steps.
2. They probably would require
buses on the surface to handle short
haul business In the central area
Of the city.
3. They present expense of polic-
ing, cleaning and maintenance with
out additional revenue or savings.
+ AS an alternative, he suggested
the opening up Of certain streets
which now are barriers" to traffic.
