Italian Politics Are Confused
With Moderutes Badly Divided
By Constantine Brown

without murmur If the Yugosiavs
had acted in a more humane fash
ion toward those Italians who live
under Tito.
1t is admitted by many prominent
Italians that after World War ]
Italy extended too far east and
that In part of the territories now
taken from her there is Slav
majority. But the barbarism with
which Tito has handled the Italians
who fell into his hands causes the
rank and file of the people in this
country to fear that all their coun-
trymen will be massa cred or sent
into exile.
The story Of the Bassovi5za mas
sacre is still fresh in the minds Of
every one in Italy. According to
authentic reports. several hundred
Italians were taken behind the Yu-
goslav line a few months ago. The
story is that these people were
brought to the Bassovizza mine pit
and compelled to Jump into it. All,
except a handful who refused to
commit suicide this way. died in
tine leap. The recalcitrants were
shot.
The pit is now sealed and all
efforts to start an international in
vestigation have been stif1ed. But
the fact that 10000 Italians fell into
Tito's hands and have not been
heard from since is matter of
official record.

Majority Now Ready
To Vote for LiIienthaI, ,
Senate Check Shows
By the Associated Press

David E. Lilienthal has the
present support of a majority OF
the Senate. an Associated Press
check showed today.
Hence his confirmation as chair
man of the Atomic Control Commits
sion is almost certain unless some
Senators change their minds dur
ing debate.
OF "a members willing to say how
they would vote now on the contro-
versial nomination. 49-a clear ma
jority of the IS qualified members
said they intend to support the NOM
ination. Senator Taft, Republican.
of Ohio said debate on the issue
probably will start Monday.
Forty-three Senators, including
Senator Capper. Republican, of Kan
sas, who had been undecided until
today. have announced publicly their
support of Mr.. Lilienthal. Six others
said privately they intend to vote
Yes" but do not want their names
used before they ANNOUNCE their
stand In the Senate.
Is Listed as Opposed.
twenty-five Senators are listed as
opposed to confirmation. Five of
these, however, are withholding pub
lication of their names until they
can tell their colleagues in Senate
speeches why they do not want to
see the former IVA chieftain con-
tinue at the helm Of the atomic
commission. Mr.. Lilienthal has been
serving under a recess appointment
since January l.
With the Lilienthal nomination
and those of his commission col
leagues likely to be debated all of
next week, 81 Senators either had
not made up their minds or de-
clined to say even privately how
they would vote.
In this group are Democrats
and l6 Republicans. including sew
eral COP first termers who may pre-
sent a fairly solid front against
confirmation. Most observers be-
lieve that majority of the 81 will
go against confirmation, thus pro-
viding a relatively close count on
the final vote.
Democratic strategists. who have
been polling the membership. said
they believe the nominee can be
confirmed by minimum margin of
eight votes. Allowing for the alb
sences which usually occur even on
such controversial tests.
Taft Expects Close Decision.
However. Senator Taft who
openly opposes Mr.. Lilienthal as
being too soft" toward Communism
told a reporter he thinks the out
come still hangs in the balance and
will not be determined until all the
debate is concluded.
The Ohio Senator. chairman of
the Republican Policy Committee
said he thinks recent international
developments which caused Presi-
dent Truman to ask aid for Turkey
and Greece to block Communism
out of those two countries have
not been a help to Lilienthal' in
his lengthy fight for confirmation.
Senator McKerar. Democrat, OF
Tennessee has charged that Mr.,
Lilienthal permitted Communists. to
infiltrate the IVA organization
