on Waldorf

Operation Waldorf
Richard Cox 34-year-old Navy vet
eran, moved his wife and two small
children into New York's swanky
Waldorf Astoria Hotel after a long,
hard winter in a cold-water fiat in
Brooklyn.
1t was an audacious plan. The Wal
dOrf suite cost $88.2O a week. Rent
for his Brooklyn fiat was SIG month.
Cox said he would pay $40 month
and the hotel could bill the city for
the rest until he had his promised
apartment in a veterans housing pro-
ject.
Received Attention
AS expected, the move got plenty of
publicity. Mayor O'Dwyer was out of
town but City Hall advised him to
state his case in writing to the COM
missioner of housing and buildings.
Cox, who gets $63.5O week as an
army civilian employe, said he did
not want donations. His move, he said,
was a protest to dramatize the plight
of veterans faced with inadequate
housing. His family ate most of their
meals outside the hotel in cafeterias.
But the contributions came in. Ho-
tel bus boys and walters made a rit-
ual Of buying breakfasts for the Cox
family.
A San Antonio, Tex, oil man sent
$1OO to the hotel to be applied to Cox's
bill. Rise Stevens, Metropolitan opera
singer, offered a weeks rent.
Riddles Do It
Then school children of Brookline,
Mass, collected $5.21 for him. That
was too much for Cox.
"It broke his morale" said a hotel
official. 'It prompted him to leave the
hotel"
The Coxes now are back in their
$16-a-month flat in Brooklyn after a
two-week stay at the Waldorf. When
they left, their account showed bal
ance of between 81 and So. The hotel
tried to give it back to the donors.

APRIL is Easf-West Showdown In ItaI,

American newspapers are treating
the Italian election "GS if it lUere not
an expression of the tUiU of Sover-
eigB people alone, but some sort of
international referendum on the ques-
ton Of tOGr or peace"
Thus the Moscow magazine Nel0
Times assayed American concern over
the balloting April Is. 1t is expected
to show whether a majority of Ital-
ians choose to string along with the
Vatican and the United States Euro
pean recovery program or to cast their
lot with the Italian Communists and
the Soviet Union.
In Italy the campaign between the
left and right waxed hot, while in
Washington Congress put the finish
ing touches on legislation to provide
billions for aid to Western Europe.
Substantial interim aid, the offer
Of Trieste to awaken Italian nation
aists passions and even a letter-writ-
ing campaign waged by Itailan-Amer-
leans to influence their kin abroad
all have recently attested to the inn
pOrtance pinned in Washington to the
Italian outcome.
On Easter Sunday Pope Plus XII
told a throng of 100000 Italians that
''the great hour of Christian conscience
has sounded and alluded to "agita-
tors who make the negation of Christ
the corner stone Of their work" His
listeners roared: "Viva II Papa!"
Reds Strong
But all over Rome Communist pos
ters warned that ga vote for De Gas
pari is a vote for Truman"-a thought
designed to ALLEVIATE supporters from
the camp of anti-Red Premier Alcide
de Gaspari.
That the Communicated Popular
Front will remain Italy's "most pow
erful group" despite western press
ure, was asserted by British govern
ment experts as March neared its
close. These experts predicted in Lon
don that the Reds will capture between
38 and 43 per cent of the vote.
The United States has warned that
a Communist Italy will get no Mar
shall Plan funds.

macy showed signs of continuing its

Crowded Nebraska

Crowded Nebraska
Nebraska will be crowded next week
with Republicans who want to be
president. it is the last full week for
campaigning before the states free
fOr-all primary on April 13.
Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio and his
wife, Martha, will make separate
tours. Harold E. StasSen of Minnesota
and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York will continue their Wisconsin
duel into Nebraska. Taft and Stassen
already have wooed Nebraska voters
but it will be Dewey's first appearance
in the cornhusker hustings.
The Nebraska primary is free-for-
all because almost every major candi-
date-eyen some Ostensibly unwilling
Ones-is on the ballot. About the only
big names missing will be those of
Henry Wallace and Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower.

On the Republican ballot will be
Dewey, Stassen, Taft, Gov. Earl War
4C44 VI OdA44O-444ot IlOQSG speaker
Joseph w. Martin, Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur and Sen. Arthur Vandenberg
of Michigan.
President Truman is alone on the
Democratic presidential preference
ballot.
The free-for-all ballot is the work
az a non-partisan committee which
feels voters should have a chance to
vote on every ranking presidential
candidate. On its own, the committee
circulated petitions to put names on
the ballot.
Eisenhower was dropped when, in
the committees opinion, he eliminated
himself. Wallace's name is missing be-
cause Nebraska law wouldn't permit a
third-party candidate on the ballot in
time for the April 13 vote.
Vandenberg and Warren said thew
didn't want their names included.
After an exchange of kilograms with
Vandenberg, the committee decided
the Senator had not eliminated him
self. Both names went on the ballot.

Violence and Drama
Violence hared in Wall Street this
week as police and pickets battled toe
to toe in front of the New York Stock
Exchange. Tuesdays melee was over
in six minutes but not until after po-
lice had roped of the financial dis
trict and riot squads took over.
Police said most Of the 38 arrested
were members of the AFL Seamen's
Unions who joined striking AFL Ex-
change workers on the picket line.
In Washington equally dramatic
scenes were enacted on the soft coal
front. Grin-visaged John L. Lewis
finally bowed to federal court order
and appeared. before Presidential
board Of inquiry into the strike of his
100000 soft coal miners.
The court had given Lewis his choice
of appearing or risking a fine or Jail
term for contempt Of court. Just a year
ago, Lewis and his United Mine Work.
ers union had to pay a $4,000 fine
for strike which had been forbidden
by a court order.

Border Violations?

Border Violations?
Yugoslavia has complained to the
state department in Washington that
American planes crossed the Yugoslav
border without authorization three
times this year.
Belgrade said a four-engined Amer
ican plane on January 80 flew inland
as far as Canale, one and one-half
miles from the frontier.
On March 2, Belgrade said, two
engined plane twice crossed the bor-
der without permission, flying one kill
ometer (six-tenths of a mile) within
Yugoslavia, and over Miren, which
directly adjoinS the Italian border.
The state department is investigat-
ing the complaints. It noted, however,
that the area involved has a winding
boundary not plain enough to be seen
from the air.

The Importance attached by the

conference is shown by the array of

nous developments abroad, Secretary
of State George C.. Marshall led the
US. battery Of diplomats and trade
experts to the 4OO-year-old South
American city. Secretary Of Commerce
Avereu Hartman was with him.
Vital Objectives
ObjectiveS of the conference mark
ed it as Of top importance as the Unit
ed States seeks to mobilize the Western
world to revive Europe and stem the
advance Of Communism. Its purpose
is:
l. To mould the inter-American
system into strong regional bloc
within the framework Of the United
Nations.
z. To create a program Of economic
aid for Latin America.
3. To enact a, treaty providing for
a peaceful solution of differences be-
tween the American republics.
To the Latin American countries the
economic aspects are Of greatest inter-
est. They want United States aid IN
developing their own resources. and
they probably will exert pressure in
favor Of financial help akin to that
which Washington is providing for
Europe. With the Marshall Plan par
tally dependent on their products
they will be in position to bargain
closely for the broader goals sought
by the United States as part of its
larger plans.
One chip they may use is their de-
mand for an end to colonialism IN
their part of the world. This might
bring in such questions as the dispute
between Guatemala and Britain over
British Honduras which Guatemala
claims The Netherlands and France
are also colonial powers in this hernis-
phere.
U. S. GO-Between
On these questions the United States.
as go-between, may be put on the de-
fensive. US. interests, in the present
state Of world affairs, are far-Aung
and complicated-while the supply of
US. dollars is not inexhaustible.
In many South American countries
Communist parties are active. On his
arrival at Bogota Secretary of State
Marshall was confronted with Red
posters depicting him as a Nazi. "Heil
Marshall" was the printed greeting Of
Colombia radicals, and the govern
ment threw heavy guard around the
presidential palace in fear of possible
demonstrations. It seemed likely the
nations would take a stand against

800 hungry fish. The minnows disap-
