Italy's Theaters Still
Active

ROME - (P) - Italy's critics
have long since pronounced the
theater dying, dead" But it refuses
to lie down. Some % companies are
registered. to tour the country in
the 1948-49 season.
Their stars are big names in
Italy-Dina CALI, RenZO Ricci, Um-
bertO Melnati, Annibale Nichi and
OntOniO Gandusio among them. If
theateTs are not as crowded as NOV
les, if you can usually find a goOd
seat however late you book Except
on first nights) the stage still has
many loyal followers.
Milan, Turin, Genoa, Venice,
Trieste, Bologna, Florence, Naples,
Palermo and Rome have good thea
trical traditions, but many small
towns of 10000 to $4,000 inhabi-
tants also have good theaters.
What do they go to. see? Anything
ranging from ancient Greek trag-
edies of Aeschylus and .Sophocles
to Shakespeare and modern French
playwrights, with some of Eugene
O'Neill and Thornton Miller. Even
Oscar Wilde was revived on the
stage and radio a few weeks ago.

Italian Delay Is Urged
Until u. S. Senate Acts
By the Assoeioted Press

By the Assoeiated Press
ROME; July 16.-A member Of
the pro-Fascist M. S. I. party in
the Chamber of Deputies today
asked Italy to delay ratification of
the Atlantic Pact until the United
States Senate ratifies it.
The deputy, Guido Russo Perez.
said Italy also should delay action
until the United States backs up
the pact with an arms supply pro-
gram. He indicated he is for the
proposed treaty but thinks it un-
wise to act before the United
States approves it and puts teeth
in it.
Monarchist speakers at today's
session, the second devoted to the
pact, took much the same line.
They argued that Italy should
hang back until certain of being
rearmed.
Russo Perez is president of q
mixed parliamentary group, in
Guiding six M. S. I. deputies and
eight others, mostly independents
and Conservatives.

District Court Asked
To Void Conviction
OF Bennett Meyers

Bennett E. Meyers, former
Army Air Forces major general
now serving from 20 months to
five years for subornation of per-
jury, yesterday started proceed
ings in District Court seeking to
have the conviction set aside.
His attorney, Russell Hardy,
filed a motion to vacate the judg-
ment and have Meyers discharged
from the District Reformatory at
Lorton. Mr. Hardy had tried un-
successfully in Alexandria Federal
Court last Friday to have his
client freed on a writ of habeas
corpus. Judge Albert V. Bryan
ruled that District Court in Wash
ington had jurisdiction in the
case.
Based on Cristoffel Decision.
Meyers was convicted by a jury
in Judge Alexander Holtzo1f's S
court in March, 1948, on a charge
that he induced Bleriot Lamarre
to lie to a Senate subcommittee
about Meyers wartime business
connections while military
officer.
Attorney Hardy based his mo-
ton on the June 81 Supreme
Court reversal of the conviction
of Harold R. Christoffel for per-
juring himself before a Congress
sional committee. The Supreme
Court held that because a quorum
of the committee was lacking
when the perjury was committed
the resulting criminal charge was
void.
Question Raised At Trial.
The lawyer claimed that when
Lamarre gave false testimony to
the Senate subcommittee. quo
rum likewise was lacking. For this
reason, the subcommittee was not
competent tribunal" as re-
quired in establishing such perjury
cases according to the lawyer.
Meyers, the lawyer added, is
now being imprisoned for al
legged conduct which has never
been a crime" The detention con-
sequently is unfair, unjust and
violates the Constitution" Mr..
Hardy charged.
The motion also pointed out that
during the trial the. quorum ques-
ton was raised, but that Judge
Holtzof refused to direct an
acquittal on that ground. Subse-
quent appeals to the United
States appellate court and the Su-
preme Court proved futile.

Mr.. Gray said that evidence
