Finishes Aid Auto Makers

A development of great value to
the manufacturers of automobiles
has been the perfection of meth
cd by which wood tones and wood
designs are pre-printed on a large
flat metal sheet before fabrication
into instrument boards, holdings,
and parts for interior trim. Great
simplification, time-savings and
avoidance of much handwork are
thus achieved. First, the primer
and ground coat are applied. Next
comes the printing of the granting
of wood tone design. Third. the ap-
plication of the final glaze coat of
lacquer.

Foreign Minister Carlo Sforza
was to make a PERSONAL plea tc
the Senate for quick action. He

entry into the North Atlantic
alliance.
Communists and their leftist
allies, meanwhile, continued dem
onstrations against the pact
throughout the country.
Unita, Communist organ, said
in an editorial that the agree
ment provides the right of con-
cession of military bases by one
member to another" This, the
paper said, means European sub
mission to American imperialism.
Government leaders have denied
the pact requires Italy to turn
over any bases.
Reliable diplomatic sources in
dicated Italy may seek revision OF
it's World War II peace treaty to
permit the strengthening of her
armed forces under the Atlantic
defense system.
These sources said Italy wants
Western support for easing OF
military restrictions in the treaty.
Russia, however. would be ex-
pected to block any move for a
four-power revision of peace treaty
terms.
Italy's postwar army is limited
to 25O,0O0 men and 200 tanks, her
air force to $4,000 men and 200
fighter planes and her navy to
Is, 900 men, two batleships, four
cruisers and four destroyers.
Some Italians say that under
these restrictions Italy would be a
liability rather than an effective
ally of other stronger Western
nations.

discuss revision of these military
clauses in Washington later this
month.

"We are going to do a good job
on this before some one gets

In the last few weeks such
clubs have mushroomed through
out the Metropolitan Area as
more people have become involved
in the business of trying to parlay
81 into a theoretical $2,O48.
The Pyramid Clubs, based on
the PROCESSION system of the old
chain letters, require one person
to enlist two others, who each
enlist two more. The frantic re-
cruiting that has been going on
has jammed telephone lines, and
last week e nd caused a near riot
as crowds gathered for a payof
in an upper Connecticut avenue
apartment house.
Mr.. Fay said that 1t. Blick
brought a report of Pyramid
case to Mr.. Wilson-the Thomas
case-and after an examination
of the facts and the law was
determined that the case should
be presented to the grand jury
The case, he said, was "routinely
presented"
Defendant Does Not Appear.
Mr.. Fay said that Mr.. Thomas
lawyers were told MIR. Thomas
could appear before the grand
jury if he wished to. However
Mr.. Fay added, Mr.. Lane said he
did not believe he wanted MI
Thomas to testify. The grand
jury, said Mr.. Fay, was given the
applicable law the lottery
statute-and the cases that have
been decided previously under
that statute.
Mr.. Lane said that the legality
of the indictment will be tested
either by filing a motion in ad-
vance of the trial asking the court
to rule on its legality, or by wait
ing for the trial and seeking a
directed verdict.
Mr.. Lane said Mr.. Thomas told
Mr.. Wilson that he started the
club in which he collected as q
result of what he had read about
Pyramid Clubs in magazines anC
newspapers.
