Korean War Gives Italy Gtters

While the search for arms
caches has unearthed enough
material in the last three years
to equip a small army. police Of
ficials believe much more is still
hidden. Almost all the arms were
found in excellent condition, often
recently fabricated.
Giulio Pastore's anti Commu-

unions (CISL) has made serious
inroads into Red labor strength,
neutralizing attempts at peace

nists are still strong in key in
dustries, the railroads, the north

Outlawing Not Seen.
While the danger is not under
estimated, there appears to be
little likelihood Of any immediate
drastic government precautions
such as the arrest of Togliatti and
other Communist leaders, or the
outlawing Of the party.
De Gasperi was linked with
Togliatti only a few years ago in

Baptist Session Told
Unity Of Europe Is
Essential 10 Peace
By cospor Nonnes
Sfar Staff Correspondent

CLEVELAND, July "a. World
peace will be difficult to achieve
if I'VE fail to establish and main
tain the unity of Europe" DR.
Walter o. Lewis of London, aSso-
ciate secretary of the Baptist
World Alliance, declared today.
DR.. Lewis spoke at the Eighth
International Congress now being
held by the Baptist World Alliance
here. More than 10000 Baptists,
many from distant parts of the
world, are attending the meeting,
which opened Saturday and will
close Thursday.
1--WE hoped the United Nations
would help us to keep the peace
and promote international CO.
operation" DR.. Lewis said. 1.-THE
United Nations is now being tested
as never before. May God help us
to preserve the organization and
strengthen it, but it will be diff
cult to preserve world unity If we
fail to establish and maintain the
unity of Europe"
Without mentioning Russia by
name the speaker charged that
"the nation that blocks all efforts
to build up a federation of Europe
is the nation that foments trouble
in other parts of the world in the
hope of reaping some kind of ad-
vantage"
Less Religious Liberty.
He pointed out that since 1877:
the number of independent Euro
pean states has decreased from 2:
to Is and that further efforts. O
nations to unite are still being
made.
There is less religious liberty il
Europe today than there was dur

said.
And things are getting worse,

ROME, July 24.-The Korean
war has given italian officialdom
an acute case of NTH column jit-
ters.
Steady Communist losses on the
peacetime fronts Of elections and
the labor movement. plus opti-
mistic reports of American aid
officials. had lulled Italians into
a sense Of security.
With a few more years OF
American dollar help, they rea-
soned, the Communist threat
would disappear altogether. The
cold war had become very placid
in this show window Of the Euro
pean Recovery Program.
The shooting on the 38th paral-
lei changed this over night.
AS the danger Of a third world
war loomed suddenly. Italians
took close look at the enemy in
their midst-and found that Pal
miro Togliatti still claims 2.5 mil
lion comrades, the biggest Com
munist party in Western Europe
They found, too, that Italy:
800 ,000-man Army, Navy and All
Force is the smallest of the major
Atlantic pact forces.
The implications Of these twir
realities jolted the nation. Ner.
vousness was Immediately eppar-
ent in high places.
De Gasperi Assails Left.
Premier De Gasperi, winding up
chamber debate on the Korean
war, devoted most of his speech
to the fifth column danger.
Looking straight at Togliatti
the Christian Democrat leader as
serted his government was ready
to smash fifth column attempts
"at any cost, at any price and
at any sacrifice"
But the speech reflected more
the premier's worry over the
threat than any real preparedness
to deal with it.
The influential, conservative
Rome newspaper Giornale d'Italia
declared the government faces "a
real, grave problem certainly
not easy to deal with"
1t said government reports
"show that fifth columns are
everywhere, in the seat Of the gov
ernment; in the armed forces, in
the civil service, in parliament.

Anti-Leopo|d Groups
Plan Wave Of Strikes
To Force Abdication
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

BRUSSELS, Belgium, July "a
King Leopold and his Social
Christian government today faced
Tightening opposition which prom
ised to take a far more solid form
than catcalls and press blasts.
A Socialist leader declared a
wave of strikes would start today
In Belgium's Walloon area. They
would spread, he said, until the
king quits the throne he regained
only two days ago.
The Socialist spokesman indi-
Gated no general strikes are
planned Immediately. Expecting
the abdication fight to be a long
one, the anti-Leopold party is
loath to use all its weapons at
once.
Leopold has shown no sign he
intends to submit to his oppon-
ents' demands that he abdicate
and let his eldest son. Crown
Prince Baudouin, reign.
Refuses to Hear Demands.
Liberal ministers of state dis
covered this yesterday when they
were summoned to a meeting of
the crown council at Laeken Pal
ace. They withdrew in protest
when told the King would only
read them an address and they
would have no chance to submit
demands for his abdication.
The anti-Leopold Socialist state
ministers already had withdrawn
from the council. The King thus
found his crown body reduced
from % to 10-all members of the
Social Christian Party which voted
to recall him from Switzerland.
Prince Baudouin received a
warm welcome from Leopoldists
yesterday when he fulfilled his
first public engagement by pre-
senting awards to civilians for
bravery during the past year
Some 500 persons cheered as ne
drove into Brussels for the ceYe-
mony with his younger brother
Albert, escorted only by six motor

King Heavily Guarded
Leopold himself remained Sc
eluded behind the walls of Laeken
Palace, protected by police and
troops. Armed guards were posted
every Is yards around the walls.
Last night several hundred OF
the kings opponents marched
through Brussels chanting Leo
pold to the scaffold." The previ-
Gus day the Communists demon
strated against the king in Brus-
sells. At Leige several thousand
demonstrators turned out to pro-
test his return. At Charleroi, a
strong anti-Leopold center, three
small bomb explosions were re-
ported.
Leopold's surrender to the Ger

his subsequent marriage to a COM

his subjects. Many observers pre-

A&P Charges Suit
Aimed To Prevent
Real Competition

The Great Atlantic & Pacific
Tea Company has charged that
the current antitrust suit against
the company is really "a suit
against efficiency and against real
competition"
The company announced its in
tention Of running a series Of adj
vertisements telling about previ-
Gus suits brought against ARP
by the antitrust lawyers in
which the charges were proven
to be false.
"In case after case they made
charges against ARP which were
proven in court to be utterly
without foundation" the ad
stated.
This weeks ad cited one such
suit in which it was cleared of
antitrust charges of conspiracy
to fix bread prices. Under the
caption, 1.-THE Washington Bread
Case" the decision of Federal
Judge Allen T. Goldsborough is
quoted:
"If you were to show this
record to any experienced trial
lawyer in the world, he would
tell you there was not any evil
dence at all Honestly" he
said, II have never in my forty
1 years experience tried a case
that was as absolutely devoid
of evidence as this. This is the
honest truth. l have never seen
one like it,"
The fact is crystal clear, the
food chain points out, that while
the antitrust lawyers constantly
| protest that they are not against
"bigness," they only brought
their bread suit against the big
companies that sold good bread
at the lowest prices, just as the
current suit attacks a big COM
pany that sells good food cheap.
'The real question involved in
this suit is whether businessmen
are going to be encouraged to do
a better and more efficient job;
or whether we are going to let
the antitrust lawyers in Wash
ington blow the whistle on any
body who gets big by giving the
people the most for their money"
The food chain points out that
it was forced to carry out its
present newspaper campaign to
protect its business against the
charges which the antitrust
lawyers were making in perss re-
leases, in speeches and on the
radio.
"Charges," says ARP, "that
would seriously damage our bust
ness, if they were believed by
the public"
Pointing out that many Of
APPS patrons would not want
to deal with the kind Of people
that the antitrust lawyers repre-
sent us to be-" the ad states that
the antitrust lawyers "have been
wrong before" and Sin this case
we know they are worng."
