ROME.-Italian Navy engineers

towed here upside down from of
the Sardinia coast. into q dock.
It will be a task of many weeks,
they said. The Trieste, sunk by
British bombers in the Maddalena
harbor in May, 1943, was towed
across the Northern Tyrrhenian
Sea in q daring operation. The
ship is now at mooring, tied to q
buoy of the military harbor Of
La Spezia.
Three of the Triest's four tur-
rets, reaching As feet below the
water mark. will have to be dis
mounted before she is put into q
dock. The short fourth turret
will be left where it is. When the
ship will be towed into dock the
tons of water filling the hull will
be pumped out. Then efforts will
be made to recover the bodies Of
the sailors still inside.
The hull Of the Trieste is IN
good condition, as the large guam

over and kept the steel plates

Plea for Dismissal Of
100000 SANDER Suit
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. "a Fed
eral judge refused to dismiss Will
liam w. Remington's 100000
SANDER suit against Elizabeth
Bentley yesterday.
The court held that calling a
Government official a Communist
If he isn't one is "slanderous per
Sc" and a most "discreditive" type
of accusation.
Mr.. Remington, a Federal econ
omist, sued Miss Bentley, self
styled former Communist courier,
after she called him a Communist
on a televised Meet the Press"
broadcast September IL, 1948.
He also sued the National
Broadcasting Co.. which carried
the program, and the General
Foods Corp, which sponsored it.
Senate Probe Recalled.
Earlier Miss Bentley had made
the same accusation before a
Mr.. Remington charged the &C
cusation made him appear guilty
of violating Federal loyalty oath
he had taken. and exposed him
to possible prosecution for perjury.
Miss Bentley's attorney had
moved that the suit be dismissed
on two grounds-first, that what
she said on the air was an &C
curate report of her privileged
testimony before the Senate COM
mittee, and second, that Mr..
Remington had no cause for &C
ton without proof OF special
damage.
Federal District Judge Edward
A. Conger said he thought the
first point should be decided by
the trial judge or after the plead
tngs are complete"
It may then be simpler to de-
termine whether Miss Bentley was
making report" and also
whether she waived, by her re-
sponses, any privileges she may
have had" he said.
Judge Sees Damage.
As for the question of special
damages, Judge Conger said:
Certainly, in accord with pres
ent day thinking, officers of our
Government and the public at
large would distrust the honesty,
the impartiality and the Judgment

The Controller General called
particular attention to the Pen
tagon situation" because of 1.-The
amazing extent to which admin

of the Government have assumed
the power to spend funds arising
from the conduct of official busi-
ness"
Although the law gave the
Public Buildings Administration
responsibility for maintenance and
operation of the Pentagon, as well
as any restaurant in it. the Army
Department demanded complete
control of the restaurant and the
profits arising therefrom, Mr..
Warren declared.
The Army, he noted, set up a
Pentagon Post Council which now
controls not only the restaurant
but also numerous concessions,
such as book store, drug store,
shopping center, flower shop, news
stands and vending machines.
Operation Of these concessions is
let to private persons under agree
ment which, in some cases, pro-
vide for payment of 100 per cent
of the profit to the council.

1T is evident that notwith-
standing the tremendous capital

such accounts as interest, drinking
water, and salaries of civilian and
military personnel devoting their

And no check or control Of the

that by the Department of the

1t is "incongruous. Mr.. Warren
contended. that the Pentagon
