Italian Boys Town Delegate
Presents Scroll to BarkIey

Carlo DIAM was II when peace
finally came to Italy. His home
near Florence had been destroyed,
his family scattered or killed, and
he became one of the thousands
of European children who took
to the highways.
Yesterday Carlo was in Wash
ington. He had dinner with Rep
resentative McSweeney, Democrat,
of Ohio. He visited with Sena-
tor Ives, Republican. of New York.
He also presented Vice President
Barkley with a parchment scroll
from the Boys Republic" of
which he is president, in acknowl-
edgment of all the help which
Americans had given boys like
himself.
The Boys Republic" at Santa
Marinella, near Rome, is the
equivalent of our Boys Town.
Founded by an Irish priest in
1945, it has since helped hun
dreds of boys to learn a trade
and prepare for responsible
citizenship. Built largely with
funds raised in America, the
Republic will take care of 450
boys when it is completed. There
are now seven similar projects in
operation in Italy.
Carlo was fortunate enough to
find his way to the Republic"
and today he is well on his way
toward being happy youngster
with a promising future in the
manufacture of ceramics.
The Republic" is divided into

Baruch Says America
Can Lick Anybody
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Bernard
M. Baruch said today that the
United States can lick anybody
once the American people real
ize what they're up against and
what they have to do.
The financier and elder
Statesman" 80 years old next
Saturday, made the statement in
a birthday interview with Guy
Richards of the New York Jour-
nal-American.
Hale and erect, Mr.. Baruch
said he thought it was a good
time to repeat what he told VIM
ston Churchill as the British
leader stood looking out the win
dow Of Mr.. Baruch's Madison
Avenue Office nine years ago:
Winston" Mr.. Baruch said,
you are gazing at a land that
rolls uninterruptedly for 5000
miles on it lives the greatest
mixture of races and peoples in
the world.
They are sometimes slow to
see a point. But when they do,
they bring to it the finest in
Stincts and fullest determination
imaginable. Nothing can beat
them-and certainly not Hitler'S
Germany"
Today, Mr.. Baruch said, he
would substitute Stalin's Russia
| for Hitler'S Germany.

On Controls Measure
Until Next Monday

The Senate, having put of ac-
ton on the home-front control
bill until Monday. may take up
variety OF other subjects, includ-
ing a Federal-aid highway bill, the
rest of this week.
Meanwhile, observers estimated
it will take Congress at least an
other month to complete the ad-
ministration list of must" bills
before members can 60 home for
election campaigns.
The agreement to start voting
Monday on major changes in the
control bill was reached late yes
terday after the Senate had acted
on an assortment Of secondary
amendments.

curbing subversive groups in the
United States was injected into
the economic control bill, when
Senators Mundt, Republican, of
South Dakota, and Ferguson, Re-
publican, Of Michigan, offered
their CommuniSt-regi tratio n
measure as rider.
This is one of the amendments
that will go over until Monday,

the economic bill in view Of the
fact that the Judiciary Commit
tees of the Senate and House are
working to bring out a separate
bill on the subject.
Administration leaders showed
concern yesterday over the
Senate's inclination to load the
economic bill down with amend
ments, but thus far no vital
changes have been made.
Five Amendments Adopted.

include:
BY Senator Williams, Repub-
lican, of Delaware to prohibit
Government officials or members
of Congress from specializing on
commodity exchanges. Legiti-
mate hedging, or buying and SELL

discourage professors from driv-
ing the prices of poultry and poul-
try products below Government
ceilings at the producer level, II

vent the Government from inter-
fering with the way a corporation
kept it's books or the manner in
which 1t used labels and trade
marks.
BY Senator Robertson, Demo-
crat, Of Virginia, to require CELL
ings on all products that stem
from agriculture to reflect gen
orally fair and equitable" profits.

Federal Court Fines
RFC $4,000 in
.WaItham Watch Case
By the Assoeiotsd Press


BOSTON, Aug. 16.-A Fedora,
Court judge fined the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corp. $4,000 yester-
day for it's failure to comply with
a court order to turn over all the
assets of the closed Waltham
Watch Co.
Judge George c. Sweeney
levied what he called a com
pensatory" fine on the Federal
agency after trustees of the watch
plant asked that amount in dam
ages suffered due to the delay in
reopening.
Washington officials said they
could not recall a similar instance
of the finding of a Federal agency
in a Federal Court.
At the trustees request also, the
court vacated a $4,000 fine i'm
posed last week on RFC for con-
tempt. That fine would have gone
to the court while the compenSa-
tory levy will go to the trustees
for the company'S benefit.
Judge Sweeney found the direc-
tors of RFC in Washington in
contempt but withheld further
action concerning them. He
termed the directors action in
refusing to turn over $600.0 900 in
assets to Waltham ell timed, dis
respectful and contumacious."
The trustees were granted per-
mission to borrow up to 81 million
by Judge Sweeney to hasten re-
opening of the factory. They
indicated they would continue to
negotiate with RFC in the hope
of getting the 100000 in cash
the crux of the legal battle that
has gone on all summer.
