by the AssoeioYed Press

ROME, April 8.-The Commu-
nist-backed Popular Front to-
day attacked the letter-writine
campaign of Italian Americans
urging Communist defeat in the
April 1s elections.
| Italians in America have sent 9
food of letters to Italy, and this at
tack against them was seen by some
as an indication the letters are hay

Avanti, the newspaper of the pro.
Communist Socialist front, gave its
entire back page to a multi-colorec
broad side against the letters. II
urged that the page be cut out ano
pasted up as a poster.
Surprises Indicated.
Meanwhile, party members hitchec
up their belts for a final week Of
campaigning for Italy's vital par.

Reports from both Communists
and anti Communists, as well as
from foreign observers, indicate the
final campaign week may bring some
surprises. There are possibilities
that sensational last-minute efforts
to capture wavering votes may de-
velop.
