U. 5. Reported Hating
Britain $ Pressure on
Italy for Ratification
By The Asseeio,sd Press

ROME, July 10. - Diplomatic
sources said today Britain, at the
urging Of Washington, had aban-
doned her insistence on Italy's i'm
mediate ratification of the Italian
peace treaty.
The informants said that just be-
fore the opening of the Paris eco
nomic conference July IL. British
Foreign Secretary Bevin had urged
immediate ratification on Italian
Foreign Minister Carlo Sforza.. How
ever, the informants added, Wash
ington informed London of its
belief that such an approach would
put the Allies in a bad light in
Italy.
The United States never had
urged quick italian ratification, an
American embassy spokesman said.
Effects in Italy Feared.
In diplomatic quarters observers
said they believed Mr.. Bevin had
been anxious to swing Italy def
initely into the Western European
group. which developed on Russian
rejection of the Marshall aid
Europe" proposal. They added that
Washington feared possible effects
inside Italy. where the Communist
Party is the second strongest and

weeks ago by the Christian Demo-
cratic premier. Alcide de Casper
BY bowling to the American sug-
gestion, these sources said, Britain
was joining the United States in
avoiding any suggestion Of pushing
the treaty down Italys throat. The
Italians have objected to provisions
of the treaty ceding territory to
Yugoslavia. creating free interna :
tional zone in Trieste. and virtually
eliminating the Italian Navy. They
also have objected to the $500 ,000,-
900 Russian reparations bill.
1T was pointed out one observer
said, that western insistence on
immediate ratification would give
Russia and Italian Communists, pre-
viously the only treaty supporters in
Italy, an opportunity to say it was
the West. not Russia, which was
responsible for the treaty and that
it would be far better to let Italy
accept the treaty in her own good
time"
Russia Has Failed to Ratify.
The treaty has been ratified by
Britain, France and the United
States, but not by Russia.
The informants emphasized that
until now the Communists have had
the unpopular role of supporting the
treaty but that since Russia has
failed to ratify they have swung over
to a strong stand against italian
ratification until Russia takes action.
"Insistence at this point by the
west on italian ratification would
give the Communists popular issue
with which to oppose the govern
ment," one informant said.
A government defeat on the treaty
could open the way to Communist
maneuver for vote of mo conf
dence." which, if carried. would mean
the fall of the De Gasperi cabinet.

A 36-year-old drinking song is
: providing inspiration for anna
teur artists and doodlers around
the country. 1t started when a
record company (RCA VICTORY an
nounced a recording of "The Whit
fenpoof Song by Metropolitan
opera baritone Robert Merrill.
An old favorite in and out of
Yale where the gay Whiffenpoof
Society embraces it as its tradi-
tional Official" song, the Whit
fenpoof Song aroused flood of
queries as to what Whiffen-
poof is.
When Merrill sang the number
on his radio program, quiz-con-
scious listeners demanded de-
scription. Many referred to it as
the Baa- Baa-B aa song or the
Inree Sneep song.
But the record company and
Merrill's radio sponsor couldn't
find anyone who knew exactly
what Whiffenpoof was. Con-
fronted by this crisis, a crew of
researchers was set loose.
Archives revealed:
A group of Yale Glee Club
boys, given to cornradely and
sentimental indulgence in old
ballads and old ale, banded to-
gether into a separate group in
1909. They picked as their name
the Whiffenpoof Society and
their official tune the Whiffen-
poof Song, both from a musical
comedy popular at that time.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1947-05-22

The lyric was adapted from
Kipling's Gentlemen Rankers. T"
The tune was composed by Todd
Galloway, Amherst '85.
The Whiffenpoof itself, accord
ing to a story related by an actor
in the musical comedy, was fish
caught by boring a hole in the
bottom of the boat and placing a
piece of cheese beside it, for bait.
Maddened by the cheese, the
Whiffenpoof came up uttering
harsh cries, and was thus
CAUGHT.
An emblem of the Whiffen-
poof Society, designed about 1912
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1947-05-22

depicts the Whiffenpoof as more
bird than fish and remarkably
like a griffin. Perched atop a
swizzle stick, the Whiffenpoof
sprouts wings resembling mint
leaves, and has horses neck
from the drink of the same
name.
The question, What is Whit
fenpoof?, was taken up and made
into a national letter-writing and
drawing contest in cities thru
out the country.
'Pve had to add the song to
my concert repertoire" says
Merrill.
