ROME, Mar. 22.-Ingrid Berg
man tried to hold a news
conference" yesterday. 1t turned
into near-riot. .
The blond beauty nearly fell
to the floor once the pushing
began. It never stopped until a
squad of roly-poly hotel walters
punched hole in the mob and
hustled her upstairs.
Miss Bergman arrived Sunday
night from Hollywood to star and
co-produce film with 1taly's
famed director, Roberto Rossellini.
Appropriately. the film is entitled:
After the Hurricane"
Miss Bergman did her charming
best but the odds were against
her Nearly 300 shouting and mill
ing reporters, photographers and
movie fans fought their way into
a mirrored salon OF the Excelsior
Hotel where the conference was
scheduled.
At first she smiled. then looked
grim and finally scared.
"Give her air." shouted Rossel-
lini as the crowd surged in.
Miss Bergman answered few
questions which nobody could
hear. She signed a few scraps of
paper showed under her nose. She
posed patiently for photographers
who turned the place into flash
gun display.
Then Rossellini started to get
worried about his star.
Lets CO." he ordered. But the
crowd stood its ground and pushed
back. At least one reporter got
cracked in the ribs. A woman
screamed. The doors were finally
pried open and Miss Bergman
was popped out.
"Basta, basta" (enough). shout
ed a pushing. perspiring hotel

Browder >Denounces
Communist Charge Of
Favoring Wall Street
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 22.-Earl
Browder, former general secretary
of the American Communist Par
ty, today denounced as pure
slander and inventions" attacks
on him in the Daily Worker.
The party paper says in series
being published this week that
Browder lis now openly peddling
his wares of anti Communism
and is supporting attacks of Wall
Street against the American peo'
pie"
BroWder was ouSted by the
Communist organization in 1945
and has been sharply at odds
with its leadership since.
The charges against him in the
Daily Worker were based on writ
ings in series Of pamphlets
signed by "Americus. The pam
phlets challenge the strategy OF
the Communist Party in the
United States in the postwar
years.
The paper said Browder is well
known as the author OF the PAM
phlets. Browder refused to con-
firm this. but said he agreed with
most of the criticisms Of party
maneuvers.
He declared. however. that he
still is a Communist and that he
is not a Wall Street apologist.
Wall Street doesn't want me
any more than they (The Daily
Worker do," ne commented.
The Daily Worker said Brow
der's writings possibly are in
dicative of the success Of the work
Clare Luce is repeatedly doing
with Mr.. Browder.'
Mrs. Luce, former Congress
woman and writer. became a Ro-
man Catholic in 1946. The Com
munist paper apparently meant to
suggest she was trying to convert
BroWder.
However, he said he had met
Mrs. Luce only once and that was
to debate her at a public forum at
NorWalk, Conn.
