ROME, April 16.-Italian arsenals
will be compelled for at least five
years to supply ordnance and am
munition for the Italian warships
which will be turned over to Russia
in accordance with the naval agree
ment on the peace treaty with Italy
signed last January.
This is one of the important fea-
lures of the secret agreement OF
Allied naval experts who are still
meeting in Paris, but are reliably
reported to have completed Their
work. Their report will be submitted
soon to the Big Four for final ap-
proval.
Some minor details. such as the
Yugoslav and Greek claims for a
portion of the Italian Navy, are still
under discussion. But, insofar as
the Big Four, who will obtain the
lions share, are concerned, a full
agreement has been reached by the
experts.
The Russians were adamant In
their demand to rejuvenate their
naval forces with Italian ships.
Although not a single Russian
warship was sunk in the last war by
the Italians, the Russians have
obtained the surrender of one of
the two modern italian battleships
either the italia" or the wit
toria Veneto." In addition, they
will be given two out of nine modern
fast cruisers, seven or eight of %
large submarines and probably two
or three out. of the 10 large de-
stroyers.
The report, which is. still kept a
top secret, has caused considerable
agitation among the few Italians
who have discovered the terms of
The Paris agreement. They point
out that there is nothing in the
peace treaty to prevent the U. S. S. r.
from handing over all or some Of
the ships to Yugoslavia, which thus
would become the dominant naval
power in the Adriatic.
The military port of Pola, which
was the main naval base of the
Austro-Hungarian Empire and was
made into a modern base by the
Italians after 1919, can take care
of ships as large as the modern
Italian battleships.
There seems to be no question
that the Soviet government does
not wish to follow the United States

route has been made, he said.

The W ashingt ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-It took breath taking Bob Gros of California to do what no diplomat or newsman so far has done regarding the A-bomb and Russia. He got a hint from Soviet Ambassador Novikov that Russia has either the secret of the A-bomb or an adequate defense against it.
 Gros, a California lecturer who annually interviews more Washing ton bigwigs in 24 hours than the average newsman does in one week, called on Ambassador Novikov the other day and at the end of his interview asked: Do you have any thing you wish to say to the Am erican people?"
 Yes replied the Ambassador. You Americans should not rely too much on the A-bomb. Against France. Italy. Germany, yes. But against Russia, no. You should not depend on it.
 That, MT. Ambassador suggest ed Gros, sounds as if the Rus sians have developed a defense against the A-bomb.
 Yes" replied Ambassador Nov

STRIKE BAN DENOUNCED
 BY UNIONS
Maritime Labor Leaders Call Ship Reeommendd-
 lion Propaganda"

SEATTLE, Jan. 29-Maritime la bor leaders in Seattle denounced as "anti-labor propaganda" re- conlmendation by a special ship ping commission to ban strikes on Alaska ships.
 The recommendation was includ- ed Monday in report by a three man Commission studying Alaska shipping to the House Merchant Marine Subcommittee. It cited la Dor costs and disputes as the major deterrent in providing adequate service to the north.
 Ed Coester, Seattle business agent for the Sailors Union of the Paci- fife, American Federation of Labor, charged the Commission spoke as mouthpiece for the shipowners.
 The union official declared the SUP will never stand for it's con- stitutional rights being taken away, he asserted:
 This so-called Commission, com posed Of shipowners' representa- tives and sympathizers, is merely attempting the old dodge of trying to make scapegoats out ot the un- ions for a fouled up shipping mess caused by many other factors,
 A similar blast at the Commis- sion's report was fired by Edward Tangen, acting agent for the Mar inc Cooks and Stewards Union, Congress of Industrial Crganiza- tions. Tangen charged the report was just part of the overall big business drive against labor"

 The action came as the first major decision on legislation since the Republicans gained control of Con- gress.
 The bill goes now to the Senate.

 COP spokesmen countered with an assertion that President Tru- man. himself, had asked for con- tinuance of the excise leyies.
 Republican eadGs decided to keep these taxes unchanged and aim for a 20 Der cent cut in indi- viduai income taxes.
