 But stiff opposition is develop ing, the Oklahoman said.
 The Lemke-Peden bill was ap proved by the House but has not been acted on by the Senate pub lie lands committee.
 "Lemke and I will push it just as soon as Congress returns" Pe- den told a reporter.
 The bill provides that not less than 320 acres nor more than 1920 acres of Southeastern Alaskan land, depending upon the type, may be homesteaded by war vet erans under a three-year plan.
 The veteran is given credi. on his homestead residence require ment for military service up to two years. He must personally oc- cupy his homestead for at least six months before it becomes his land.
 Veterans who homestead timber land, of which they may seek up to 1920 acres, would have to agree to operate the tract on a sustained yield basis to protect the forest re- sources.
 Since the House passed the bill several months ago, I am inform ed that opposition to the legi 'la- ton, especially in Alaska, has

Army Admits
 'ErrOrs" In Italian Theatre Command

WASHINGTON, (P)-The army high command today acknOWl- edged "errors" in the Italian thea tre command, but labeled as "Wholly erroneous picture" a CrippS-H Howard columnist's charg- es of mistreatment of enlisted men and highliving by officers under It. Gen. John C. H. Lee.
 Making public the results of an investigation touched off by writer Robert C. Ruark's charges, the army released:
 CD a 2,000-Word report from Maj. Gen. Ira T. Wyche, army in spector general, who said he found only minor discrepancies and ir- regularities"; @ a memorandum from Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, chief of staff, and (3) a memoran- dunn from secretary of the army Kenneth C. Royall approving Wyche's report.
 Ruark, whose original articles were published last summer, is sued the following statement in New York:
 'I have seen the army's report of it's investigation of my charges against It. Gen. J. C. H. Lee, and I intend to study the report thor oughly before replying. In my own good time I will have the neces- sary answer to the army's findings in the case"
 In brief, Wyche's report was that the matters Ruark complained about were, when true, isolated instances. He said Ruark took a few facts, half facts. rumorS and untruths which he accepted as facts, and nodded them into arti- cles that carry implications of gross maladministration of the theater by General Lee and his staff."
 Eisenhower, commenting on the "errors" uncovered, singled out undue pressure" by commanders on subordinates to join fraternal organizations, unsatisfactory con- ditions in the disciplinary camp" and "neglectful conduct" occa- sionally by some officers in re- quiring chauffers to wait uncon- scionably long hours to suit social

Soviet Of Italy May Prove Boomerang

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y. (P) - Diplomatic experts predicted yes terday that Russia's veto of Italy'S bid for United Nations membership would badly handicap Italian Communist efforts to gain greater power and prestige in that strate- gic Mediterranean country.
 American officials privately ex- pressed surprise at the action which Russia took Wednesday night in session of the United Nations security council. Some called it a political blunder" which would work strongly to the advantage of Italy's present non- Communist government.
 The Italian application was sup ported by the United States, Bri- tain and seven other members oi the council and blocked only by the mo" vote of RuSSia's deputy foreign minister Andrei Gromyko.
 American ambassador Warren Austin indicated the United States would take the Italian case and those of other Soviet-vetoei coun- tries-Finland, Austria, Ireland. Portugal and Trans-Jordan-to the large forum of the general assem- bly.
 The ballot on Italy was one of series of votes taken in the 11-na- tion council, which split cleaniy along the usual east-west line. Not one of the five applicant countries considered Wednesday received the veto-free majority. Russia also vetoed Finland. Hungary, Roman ia and Bulgaria, opposed by America and Britain, failed of ap- proval because they could not get the necessary affirmative major ity of seven.
 Yesterday Russia's string of ve- toes stood at the total of g.
 The security council was not the only U. N. agency tied in knots by the east-west row, however. The 57-nation general assembly was so badly deadlocked over efforts to fill remaining prospective vacan- cies in the security and trustee ship councils that it gave up the whole effort, called off temporar- fly any more meetings in its big auditorium at Flushing Meadows and returned to Lake Success to committee work.
