Italian State Gets
Last Land Holdings
OF Roval Family

Rome (U.P.)-The Itali a n
republic finally has taken the
last step to confiscate the pro-
perty of the deposed monarchy.
Parliament approved a measure
specifying that all the houses
and land owned by the House of
Savoy shall become public do
main.
The buildings include the royal
palace in Turin, all the buildings
owned by the monarchy in Pisa,
along the Lungarno Regio and
properties in Rome. The most i'm
portant outside of Rome is the
Pisa royal palace, badly damag-
ed during the war.
In Rome, the state took over
the Palace of St. Andrew,
formerly the ministry Of the roy
al house and in ancient times
part of the Church OF St. An
drew, when it was used as a
Jesuit convent. Charles Emman-
uel w died and was buried in
St. Andrews church. The palace
in Via Piacvenza in Rome, and
the one in Via Geneva, both
used used by the household per-
sonnel of the royal family, also
became state property.
Estates Nationalized
The lowly royal estates OF San
Ressore and Tombolo. near Pisa,
and part of Castelporzino, out
side Rome, a 1,235-acre estate
recently rented to sharecroprers,
were nationalized. The state has
a fight on its hand with the Pisa
municipality, however, because
the latter claims it has more
right to the estates there more
the national government.
An estimate of the estates
value indicates that the sIate
has taken over PATIO acres of
land. AL other royal residences
in Italy became public domain
in 1919, including the royal
palaces of Naples, Caserta, Ven
ice, Genoa, the "Favorita" OF
Palermo and the Pitt palace in
Florence. At the same time, the
estates of Carditello, near Ma
pies, and Pontano, near Pisa,
were given to the state by the
monarchv I'D used for Italian
war veterans. s
The bill . proved by parIia-
ment set aside the biggest pro-
perties in Rome for the use Of
the president of Italy. They are
the Quirinal palace the Palazzo
della Panetteria and a group Of
buildings formerly used as the
royal stables and now the presi-
dents garages: the nearby
Marinacci palace, the Salviucci
palace and a villa and small
estate at Castelporziano which
will be the presidents summer
residence.

JUST BETW E EN u S
BY Nancy Mottram
That Cool, Aioof Boy
Could Be Just Shy,
Or Mayhe Undecided

Could Be Just Shy,
Or Maybe Undecided
(Q) Dear Nancy: I can't fig
ure this boy out. He tells
my friends that he thinks
lot of me, and whenever
we're walking or talking
together l believe he cares
for me. But when we're in
crowd, he doesn't pay
ny attention to me at all.
And he tells his buddies
that I'm just good friend
as far as he's concerned.
His stories seem to vary
between the fellows and
girls and I'd like your ad-
vice. How can I tell wheth-
er or not he really does
like me?
(A) 1t could be case of shy
ness. Secretly he may rate you
way up on top of his list, but he
won't admit it for fear of letting
his feelings become public, and
open to kidding from his pals. Or
he might be having trouble MAX
ing up his mind. You can't do any
more than wait and see if he's
going to decide one way or the
other. Keep on smiling and chat
ting with him the same as you al
ways have and eventually you'll
be able to tell who's been right
all along, your friends or his.
(Q) Dear Nancy: While I
was on my vacation, the
boy with whom l keep
company dated my best
friend. Yet, when he SETS
me talking to another fel-
low, he starts an argu-
ment and I don't see him
for a couple of days. He
tries to pick my friends,
tell me what to do and
keeps track OF my every
move. He believes he's
right in doing this because
I'm wearing his class ring.
Is there any possibility of
curing him of his jealousy
or is a breakup the best
thing in this case?"
(A) If you want to be ordered
around, keep going with him, but
II you're an individual and resent
dictatorship, tell him that you
don't see any point in keeping
this up any longer. He hasn't the
right to put a ball and chain on
you just because you've accepted
his ring. You're honor-bound not
to date anyone else when you've
promised to go steady, but it
doesn't include an F. B. I. ar
rangement too. Your best bet is
to tell him everything's off, ard
stick to it. You can't cure this
type OF Jealousy. You can only
put up with it or do away with
the situation that causes it.
90 Dear Nancy: ! am inter-
ested in a girl who's a
couple of years younger
than !. When I first asked
her out she broke up with
the fellow she was dating,
and we've gone together
for sometime. Now, / think
she wants to date her ex-
friend, and although she
hasn't said anything about
it, l think can tell by her
attitude. What should I do
forget it and stop seeing
her or try to win her
back?
(A) You haven't lost her vet,
and it could be your Imagination
working overtime. Don't call her
for a few days, then phone and
ask her out. During that time,
she'll begin to wonder why she
hasn't heard from you, and her
doubts about the situation, if
there are any, might be resolved.
You'll be able to tell how things
are going when you see her
again. If your ideas are correct.
but there's a chance for you to
win her back, take it and do
your best.
Nancy can help with all your
teen-age problems. Write her in
care of this newspaper.

3IvINS GIVES JOE
LOUIS GOOD, ROUGH
TIME IN EXHIBITION

CLEVE AND, Nov. 18.-R-
Heavyweight champion Joe Louis
labels Jimmy Bivins the toughest
opponent he has faced so far on
MS exhibition tour.
Il don't know why he shouldn't
De a contender if he gets serious
about his training" Louis said in
his dressing room last night after
engaging in a six-round no-decis-
ION affair with the Cleveland negro.
He threw two good right hand
punches and I knew I was hit, but
they weren't hard enough to bother
me-" the champion added Anyone
who fights him has to be very care
full"
With both fighters using 12-ounce
Stoves instead of the regulation
eight. Bivins opened cut above
Louis left eye in the second round.
Joe received the wound originally
November when he accidentally
bumped heads with Johnny Shkor
IN an exhibition at Boston
The cut bled only slightly, but
Rivins opened it up again in the
fourth.
Bivips did most of the leading,
while Louis opened up only spor-
adically. He almost dropped Bivins
with right in the second when
the two were in neutral corner.
The champion jahbed most of the
time and seemed content to take it
easy, but opened up suddenly at one
point in the fifth and drove Bivins
to cover with furry of rights and

decision affair, Matchmaker Larry
Atkins conducted poll among
newsmen at ringside and reported
the writer's favored Bivins by a 9
to vote. However, most everyone
agreed that Louis had plenty in

Louis weighed 220 and had 40
pound edge over Bivins, who APP
peared to be in extra good shape. A
crowd Of 10,086 saw the bout, which
produced a gross gate of $47,591.
Louis received 35 per cent.

BIG BEAR, But
BERNARD BESTS
BRAWNY BnUIN

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.-R-
Frank Bernard came back from
a deer hunting trip with tall
bear story-and the bear to prove
it. The bruin he'd shot weighed
about $50 pounds and was seven
feet long.
Bernard said the big animal was
only about 80 feet away when he
fired his first shot, the bullet
striking the bear in the nose. The
bear charged, paying not attention
to a second bullet drilling into
its side Another hunter then shot
the bear in the loot, turning it to
one side, and Bernard's third shot
broke its leg, ending its enraged
rush.

CAPT. BILL FISCHER
IS LINEMAN OF week

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Nov. 18.-lR
Capt. Bill Fischer, Notre Dame
guard, played bruising football Tor
So minutes against Northwestern
last week and his thorough effec-
tiveness won him the lineman Of
the week honor in the current As
ISOLATED Press poll.
The 21-year-old senior from Chi
cago is the first guard to win an
award this season and the honor
came as the fruit of what probab-
ly was his finest performance Of the
season.
Fischer never let up. Late in the
game he spilled Don Burson, North
western quarterback, for 26 yard
loss as the Wildcat quarterback
went back to pass. On the play
Burson fumbled and Fischer re-
covered.

5 NEW YORK, Nov 18.-tR-When
all the returns are in this fall,
some college coaches who stress
football offense over defense might
well sit down and reconsider.
Prime examples of the strong
defense theory are Michigan and
Clemson. Two OF the nations re-

major teams.
Rugged line work is Michigan's
answer to high scoring football
opponents, and the Wolverine for

best in the country. The Michi-
gan opposition has scored just Al
points in eight games.
Clemson is right behind in the
tight defense category, for the
Tigers have yielded only AT points
in seven games.
Latest figures from the Nation
al Collegiate Athletic Bureau show
ed today that Michigan was four
tn in rushing defense, having CIV
en- up an average of 82.4 yards

having given up only 500 yards
per game on the ground. In eight
games, the Engineers have a 1875

Big SUCCESS; FORTY
SEVEN BIRDS GIVEN

The Elks Turkey Shoot last night
was one OF the most successful
affairs of the kind ever pulled
off by the antlered tribe.
The play started at g o'clock
and it was long after midnight
before the last call was made and
then the total was At turkeys or
chickens for the evenings fun.
Scores were turned away during
the event as every chair, every
table was occupied, and standing
room was at premium.
Mrs. Lloyd Connell was given
the prize of the evening, bar"
including ash tray and stand, and
bottle"
The proceeds of the shoot go for
Christmas baskets for needy peo-
pie on the Gastineau Channel
and for the Children's Annual
Christmas Party.
