Agriculture, today was unanimously
elected director general Of the United
Nations Food and Agriculture Or
ganization.
He succeeds Sir John Boyd Orr,
British nutritional authority, who
has been director general since the
57-nation organization was set up

asked to be relieved.

presumably eliminated him as a
possible successor to Clinton P.
Anderson as Secretary OF Agricul-
ture. Mr.. Anderson plans to resign
soon to run for the Senate from
New Mexico.
Mr.. Dodd and Assistant Secretary
Charles F. Brannan had been men,

Mr.. Dodd is native Of Iowa, but
is now operator of a livestock ranch
in Oregon. He has been connected
with the Agriculture Department

tween Howard Hughes, mil
lionaire plane builder, and Maj
Gen. Bennett E. Meyers.
The Senate War Investigating
Committee which drafted the docu-
ment called for a law to deal with

that both private citizens and Off

to Return Trieste to Italy.

By the Assoeioted Press
ROME, April 14.-The authori-
tative morning newspaper II
Messaggero predicted today that
Premier Alcide de Gasperi's
Christian Democrats would fin-
ish well ahead of the Commu-
nists in Sundays elections. The
paper said there is no doubt of it..
Although rightist in It's sympathies,
II Messaggero has maintained strict
impartiality in its news columns
throughout the campaign, printing
speeches of all candidates. In that
policy it has been almost alone
among Rome papers.
| A front page editorial said today
that until month ago mathematical
experts, statistics and predictions in
dicated the Communicated Popular
Front would have the largest vote
of any single party or bloc.
To-day" said II Messaggero, there
is no doubt that Christian Democ-
racy will defeat the Front by several
lengths
Reds Heckle De Gasperi.
II Messaggero's editorial apparent
ly was written before word was re-
ceived of Russia's refusal to discuss
western power proposal to return
Trieste to Italy.
Other morning newspapers, how
ever, said the Soviet refusal means
Russia has given up all hope of q
peaceful Communist victory IN Italy
But if Russia's act was blow tc
the hopes of Italian Communists
they didn't show it.
Communists heckled and shouted
at Mr.. De Gasperi yesterday in
Milan and there were fist fights and
cracked heads as police moved into
the crowd, swinging clubs.
Mr.. De Gasperi spoke in the big
Duomo square, ana ponce were
hours clearing it even after the
premier had finished his address
and left.
Late last night a caravan of trucks
and buses taking Christian Demo-
Gratis home from the Milan meeting
was stoned by leftists near San
Giuliano Milanese. Two persons
were hurt seriously, 20 suffered
minor injuries. There also were dis

Studies In A Dying Culture, by
Christopher Caldwell. London. Jo&n
Lane. The Bodiey Head Ltd.
TH E r E are some books
i whose praises every reader
sings to such an extent that eau
tious people steer clear of them
saying, it can't be that good, so
1 won't read it and be disap-
pointed.
But it's hard not to speak in
pure superlatives about Christie
pher Caudwells books. Here was
a young mind, of tremendous
range and power, penetration and
ability to say quickly and clearly
what many philosophers would
take books to say. 1t was the
logic of his life that he should
die fighting fascism in Spain. But
it leaves a poignant stab with
every reader.
Studies in Dying Culture is
series of eight portraits, four
of people, and four of ideas. Our
society has been never so thor
oughly dissected before nor
since.

Western-flavored one by Tex

technicality that certainly won't
throw any kid who might want

A particularly attractive fea-

from Capitol's usual brilliant and
attractive cover-is the lavish use
of sound effects (mostly animal
sounds, which are certain to ex-
cite most juvenile listeners. I'm
breakable.

 The Boston Red Sox and tEe Cleveland Indians are tied for tht Head, and the New York Yankee: are in third place, only game be- hind the leaders.
 The Red Sox take on the Tank in the Yankee Stadium. The In ldians clash with the tough Detroit Tigers in Detroit.
 The Tanks were beaten AZ yes iterday by the last place White SoS in Chicago and will send their ace lrighthander, Vic Raschi, against Boston.
 Frank Papish, who had won only one game against eight losses prior to the game, outpitched Lefty Ed Lopat, allowing the Tanks only six hits. The White Sox bounced on iLopat for three runs in the fourth inning to snap a 1-1 tie and they were never headed.
 The Tigers came from behind and beat the Philadelphia Athletics I8-7 when Rookie George Vico slammed two-run ninth inning triple.
 Washington turned back the Browns, 9-8, in night game at St. Louis. clinching the game with a five run fifth inning rally. The loss was charged to Fred Sanford, his goth of the season.
 The Indians and Red Sox were idle
 Only two games were played in the National League. The Brooklyn Dodgers trounced the New York Giants, 7-1, and the Cincinnati Reds edged the Phils, 3-2, in a night game at Philadelphia
 The league-leadlng Boston Braves, St. Louis Cardinals, Pittsburgh Pi- rates and Chicago Cuhs were idle.
 Brooklyn's triumph moved the Dodgers to within one percentage point of the second place Cardinals. The Braves need to win only one game to eliminate the Dodgers and two to knock out the Cards.
