chances for the Republican presidential
nomination were rising Sensationally.
Although every student of politics
knows that early convention sup
port can disappear as quickly as a
campaign promise, there was no, gain
saying the fact that the 41-year-old
former Minnesota governor now led
the COP with decisive victories in his
party's last two primary battles.
He moved into Wisconsin, where
Douglas A. Macarthur was the pre-
vote favorite and won 10 delegates
while the genera took 8 and Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey of New York got
none.
This week, StaSsen moved into the
Nebraska free-for-all primary, where
the only COP machine that exists was
plugging for Sen. Robert A. Taft of
Ohio. Result: another impressive
Stassen victory, with Dewey a disap-
pointing second and Taft poor third.
Among the also-rans were Sen.
Arthur H. Vandenberg, Macarthur,
Gov. Earl Warren of California, and
House Speaker Joseph w. Martin, Jr.
Then only man, other than Stassen,
not hurt by the Cornhusker vote was
Sen. Vandenberg. who protested ap-
pearance of his name on the ballot and
urged people to vote for someone else.

The Nebraska primary has been
called a popularity contest because

The WORLD This WEEK
ITALY: The East-West Battle for Ballots

COVIET efforts to expand her
~ spheres of influence and coun-
termeaSures by the western allies
to contain them reach a critical
test in Italy this Sunday.
Pitted against each other in ma
tional elections are Italian Comnu-
nists and the Christian Democratic
Party, backed by the Catholic Church.
The outcome at the polls may deter
mine whether communism is to be
halted within the present iron cur
tain or is to sweep on through all Of
western Europe.
Into this critical area, both east and
west have poured heavy resources.
There have been maneuVers in Wash
1ngton, Moscow and at Lake Success
to win influence for one side or en-
cur disfavor for another.
Western Political Moves
The United States, as prime mover
Of the west, has decreed that Italy
will get no aid under the Marshall
Plan if she goes communist. The u. S..
Britain and France have offered to re-
turn Trieste to Italy. Russia rejected
this and had to use its 23rd veto last
week to kill third western attempt
to seat Italy in the United Nations.
This country transferred to Italy 90
merchant ships. Fourteen were Italian
vessels seized during the war but the
rest were Liberty ships replacing
Communicated craft that were sunk.
An Italian-American letter cam.
paign urged relatives in the home
country to vote anti-communist. The
Italian communists retaliated with
posters urging voters to ignore
American fascists." "a vote for
De Gasperi is vote for Truman" was
their slogan.
The Communist Party, in an open
letter to Catholic clergy, offered re-
ligious peace but the Vatican news
paper replied it was an invitation for
the Church to collaborate with it's
prosecutors. 1t referred to Lithuania,
Poland and Hungary where Catholics
had cooperated in popular front.
The communists campaigned vigor-
ously, promising a house for every
factory worker, a farm for every
peasant. The red-dominated General
Confederation of Labor called a one
hour token strike throughout Italy
but it boomeranged as a political
weapon when thousands of store
clerks and workers failed to respond.

ParIey Resumes

Porley Resumes
The Pan American conference re-
sumed this week in the Scared and
looted city of Bcgota after the abor-
tive revolt which disrupted its ses-
sionS and caused the death of 800
persons.
Authorities blamed communism for
the uprising. Colombia severed diplo-
matte relations with Russia after ar
resting two Communist agents who, it
claimed, were responsible for melting
the disorder.
Chile said the Colombian revolt was
part Of communist master plan for
May Day outbreaks in Chile and Bo-
livia. Chile said the plot was hatched
last fall by the Cominform in Bel
grade.
y. S. Secretary of State George C..
Marshall noted that the crisis fol-
lowed the same pattern as outbreaks
which provoked waves of labor trou-
bic IN France and Italy.
"This situation" said Marshall
must not be judged on a local basis.
We must keep clearly in mind the
fact that this IS a world affair-not
merely Colombian or Latin Ameri-
can"
"A streamlined procedure will be
followed for the rest of the confer
ence, All basic decisions will be taken
up Immediately Ky the top delegates

stead of by subordinates first.
To further expedite matters, dele
gates agreed to shelve all economic
questions formerly scheduled for dis
cussion. These include the problem of
how the United States can further aid
Latin America without impairing the
European Recovery Program. These
will be taken up at special economic
parley later in the year, probably in
BuenoS Aires.

the operators.
AS creeping paralysis afflicted heavy
industry, President Truman set I'D a
federal board of inquiry under the
Tatt-Hartley Law. "Disinclined" to
appear, Lewis finally testified under
a court order. He said the stoppage
was spontaneous by individual miners
and denied he had ordered it.
The board reported to the Presi-
dent that Lewis had induced" the
Walkout and onC2 again the White
House secured court injunction or

The miners remained idle. Bar

resumed but without progress. The

Underground Homes

The communities of Higgins and
Glazier, Tex, almost wiped out a
year ago by a tornado, now are pre-
pared against the worst from nature
or man. They arc equipped to live
double lives-one above ground, the
other below.
The twister death toll was 48 at
Higgins, II at Glazier. Survivors said
what they wanted most were under
ground shelters.
The simplest construction, costing
$500, is a hole in the ground lined
with concrete and covered with a
sturdy door closing flush with the
ground.
At the other end of the scale are
bunkers ranging in cost from $1,000
to $1,500.
These underground homes are
equipped to withstand siege. They
have ventilating fans, independent
power plants, fuorescent lighting and
exhaust fans There are beds, stocks
OF food and even complete libraries
and rumpus rooms.
Glazier, now town of 40 persons
and II buildings, decided safety could
be shared. 1t built two extra under
