The thing that's most striking
about the Baldwin farm is that
the whole place looks nice.
Everything's in scale, and yet
there was no architect to plan it.
Mr.. Baldwin handled that de-
partment.
He started to think about the
pretty part even before he
thought of the comfort" Mrs.
Baldwin said.
The dollars they earned went
right back into Improvements,
equipment, fertilizer, livestock.
Today the Baldwins grow viz
tually all their own food, and
buy only such things as tea, cof-
fee, matches, bread, flour, salt
and pepper.
In their three-acre garden last
year they raised cantaloupes,

Mrs. Baldwin said. Honestly,
believe it or not, we love It,"
But the best thing about the
Baldwin farm is that everything
about it has a story.

ROME-(ALN-As the April
ID national elections draw near
there is increasing perplexity
among political observers here
because of the mounting hy-
sierra in Premier -Alcide De
Gasperi's Christian Democra-
tic party. The perplexity arises
because all the cards seem to
be stacked in the party's favor.
Among the main factors are:
. Its complete control over
the state apparatus, including
police and armed forces, and
the absence of any opposition
from Parliament, which has
been adjourned until after the
elections. Its complete control
over the radio and backing
from 90% of the press.
. The full support of U. S.
diplomacy and the presence in
Italian ports of substantial
American naval forces. The
propaganda value of the whole
gamut of U. S. aid, from UN-
IRA to the promised Marshall
Plan, and the u. S. threat of
cutting off all aid to Italy if
the 8-party Democratic Popu-
lar Front wins the elections.
. The Vatican's full support,
moral and material, with the
church hierarchy having de-
creed exec mmunication of
Catholics who vote for the
Front and with thousands of
priests canvassing for the
Christian Democrats. Unlimited
campaign funds from industri-
alists landowners and the Vati-
can.
UNDER SUCH favorable cir
cumstances it is felt here, the
Christian Democrats should be
in a position to carry the coun-

the answer.
The prospect of dividing up
large landed estates apparently
makes sense to landless peas

shall Plan means the U. S. will
flood Italy with manufactured
goods, causing a shutdown of
Italian factories.
The Front argues that Italy
has a vast market in eastern
Europe which needs autos,
trucks, agricultural machinery,
electrical equipment and can
supply coal and other raw ma
terials to Italy. This is better
understood by the workers than
the still nebulous Marshall
Plan.
