$4,000 Died in Vain
II Reds Win Election in
Italy, Gen. Clark Says

The $4,000 American soldiers who
lost their lives in Italy during
World War II will have died In
vain" If the Communists win the
italian election On April 18, Gen.
Mark w. Clark said yesterday.
Gen. Clark, now commander of
the 9Th Army Area on the West
Coast, commanded American forces
in Italy during the war.
Along with Gen. Jacob L. Devers,
chief of the Army Field Forces, the
commanding generals of all the
continental areas appeared at a
joint news conference in the Fenta-
gon. They are in Washington for
conferences with Gen. Bradley,
Chief of staff.
Those who fought so long in
Italy are concerned" with develop
ments there, Gen. Clark declared.
Saw Propaganda Results.
Il was there eight months ago,
and I saw the results of false prop
aganda of the Communists. he said.
'It belied what our troops had
fought for to rid the country of
dictatorship and to make it a free
place to live.
II am worried that the fruits of
our victory may go down the rat
hole"
Gen. Devers said the Army has
been planning for some time for the
possible enactment of UNIT. He said
enough equipment and barracks are
available to take care of the ex-
pected personnel increase at first.
Re-opening of some World War II
camps, now inactive, might come
later, however, he said.
On the West Coast, where the
9Th Army Area embraces territory
covered by three naval districts and
the newly independent Air Force
also has various commands, Gen.
Clark sees the need for unified
command. He added, however, he
has experienced no difficulties with
his Navy and Air Force equals.
Gen. Clark conceded that the
Army would have great difficulty
defending such key centers as the
Hanford, Wash, atomic energy
plant and the Boeing aircraft fac
tories at Seattle in case of a sudden
attack because of the shortage of
troops. The I'd Division, only major
combat division in the Western
States, is far below strength, he said.
Communist Screened Out.
The Army has pretty we'll screened
out" Communists in its ranks, Gen.
Devers said. He recalled that one
officer had been found to be a
Communist and was thrown out of
service. He did not name the officer.
Besides Gems. Devers and Clark,
the following were at the conference: !:
Gen. Courtney H. Hodges, 1st
Army; Gen. Thomas T. Handy, 4th;
1t. Gen. Leonard T. Gerow, ID; 1t.
Gen. Alvan C. Gillem, Sd; 1t. Gen.
Walton H. Walker, 5th; Maj. Gen.
Hobert R. Gay, commander, military
district of Washington, and Maj.

Homes for Veterans
Will Be Inspected
During Construction
-AP Photo.

Veterans Administration offices
here put new regulations In effect
today to help veterans buying homes
through GI loans to get what they
bargain for.
Morgan B. Callahan, loan guar
antee officer for the Washington
area, said he was authorized, effec-
tive today, to hire inspectors to
carry on checks during construction
to guard against shoddy building.
The inspections will be made only
when veterans guarantee their loans
entirely with VA, however.
II the loans are guaranteed par
TALLY by the Federal Housing
Agency, Mr.. Callahan said, FILA
agents will be in charge OF the
inspections. VA then will accept
FHA certificates that builders have
complied with plans and speciflca-
tions for the homes.
If loans are guaranteed entirely
by VA, the agency will send in
spectors for three Investigations
during housing construction as a
check on the builders. Builders will
pay $40 for each inspection, but the
costs will be passed on to the buyers,
Mr.. Callahan said.
In the past, he explained, VA ap-
praisers have visited each COM
pleted home for final inspections,
but have not been bound to inspec-
tions during construction.
The new policy also allows VA to
assure builder of selling price as
soon as he supplies plans and speci-
fications. In the past, VA has with
held the final appraisal until homes
were ready to be turned over to
veterans.
VA officials at Richmond an
nounced that 300 appraisers
throughout the State would take
part in the new inspection program.
During Australia's gold rush, the
country's population increased from
al 900 in 1850 to mere than 1,100,-

carry out the unions conditions of
employment" bargaining policy.
Specifically, 1t prohibited discrim-
ination against nonunion printers.
Previous Demands to Be Dropped.
The injunction, however, is tenn
porary, hinging on the outcome OF a
current hearing before National
Labor Relations Board examiner.
The ITU bulletin orders its strik-
ing locals to notify their employers
that they Withdraw all previous
offers and demands" These locals
are instructed to negotiate new
agreements consistent with terms
of the decree"
The bulletin also recommends

which are based on conditions of
employment" 1t specifies that

ployers.

by employer, it is recommended
that the local unions promptly un-
dertake the negotiations of new
agreements" the bulletin said.
The bulletin, sent to locals over
the name of Woodruff Randolph,
president. and other ,ITU officers,

be approved, as well as any other
period which has been customary

may carry as'6U-day termination
clause, which could be- invoked If
the labor board should dismiss the
charges of unfair labor practices
now pending against the ITU.
The bulletin advised locals to ne
gotiate with employers in setting up
competency tests for job applicants.
Such a clause" the instructions
warned, shall not be utilized as
means of discriminating against any
person because of his membership
or non-membership in the union"
1t also advised that a struck
work clause is not prohibited by
Judge Swygert's decree.
A clause providing for union fore
men in composing rooms also was
suggested.

which they proposed to send out to

Mr.. Kaiser was reminded, how

carried on in good faith, that the
no-contract policy must be aban-
doned in its entirety, and that the
NLRB general counsel's Office re-
serves the right to proceed in any
situation where the union does not
appear to comply with the terms

are very hopeful he will live.
Allen was born a week ago at a

The doctor who delivered him, DR..

that his abdomen was very small,
that his body was dark and that

The heart was as far over on the

the right lung only.
In 80 per cent of the cases of this
