ROME, Aug. 20.-Aroused cara
binieri mobilized a vast manhunt
today to crush Italy's public enc
my No. Salvatore Giuliano-
and his bloody Sicilian bandits.
Giuliano's Montelepre strong
hold was under virtual siege fol-
lowing the ambush massacre last
night of seven carabinieri and the
wounding of II others.
Up to noon today. carabinieri
had detained SO persons for ques-
tioning. Road blocks clogged
mountain roads, and travellers were
frisked by heavily armed guards.
Gen. Leonette Taddei. vice.
commander of Italy's $1,000 cara
binieri, hurriedly left Rome for
Palermo to direct action against
the bandits.
Rome newspapers, meanwhile,
demanded vigorous. new measures
to stamp out Sicily's strongly en-
trenched bandits, who have killed
scores of persons in the past four
years.
Thirteen workers at a quarry,

happy, too, although the OEEc in
sisted on keeping secret what they
said.
DR.. H. M. Hirschfeld spoke for
the Dutch, and Herve Alphand for
France.
There was also a statement from
Gerard Bauer of Switzerland. His
country is a member of the Or
ganization, but receives no dollar
aid. Talks between the United
States and Switzerland on provid-
ing some, broke down when Swift
zerland said she could not sign an
agreement that would permit
American officials to set up a mis-
sion on Swiss soil.
After hearing these speeches, the
French delegate proposed that Mr..
Marjolin and Baron Snoy be asked
to make suggestions on dividing
aid. He was supported by Britain.
The council, OEEC's ruling body,
told them to take two contradic-
tory sets of documents as a basis
for their work:
The committee report, and the
delegates statements that they
can not accept it. No. date was
set for the two economists to come

1.-Two Named 10 Break
0EEC Deadlock Over
Marshall Aid Shares
by the Associated Press

PARIS, Aug. 2O.-Two men-a
Belgian and Frenchman-today
were given the Job of figuring out
who gets how much Marshall Plan
aid for 1949-50.
They are experts whose names
are seldom in the news.
Robert Marjolin, 38-year-old
economist, is the general secretary
of the Organization for European
Economic Cooperation. This IS
the body that represents all Euro
pean areas in the Marshall Plan
He was formerly an official in the
French Finance Ministry.
Baron Charles Jean Snoy ct
d'Oppuers is secretary general
the top permanent off1cial-of the
Belgian Economic Affairs Minis
try. Baron Snoy heads his coun-
try's delegation to the OEEC.
Their job is complicated by the
fact that Congress has not yet
agreed on how much aid to ap-
propriate. The Senate has voted
$3,778, 900, 900. The House of Rep
resentatives has a bill providing
only s3,56s ,000,0 but says The
sum can be spent in 10 and a half
months.
An OEEC committee has worked
on a scheme for dividing 1851. =
100000. The trouble with this
division is that not even the COM
mittee itself agreed on it. Only
one area-Trieste, next-t to- the
smailest-is satisfied with its
share.
Sir Edmund Hall-Patch, head of
the British delegation, told the
OEEC council Indignantly yester-
day that Britain would not accept
the $842, 100000 allotted to her.
Britain has said she needs $1,518,-
