Translation Error
BY Atlanta Paper
Promotes Romance
BY the Associoted Press

FLORENCE, Italy, Oct. 21.-
An American translator's error
had something to do with one OF
the speediest romances ancient
Florence ever saw.
It started when Pretty, 22-year-
old Liliana Biagi sent her photo
and a little ad to the Atlanta
tGaD Constitution saying she
wanted to exchange letters with
an American to perfect her Eng
lish.
Somehow that got translated
so that it appeared she wanted an
American husband.
Cover w. Miller, 38, of Jeffer-
sonville. KY, took one look al
the picture and started writing
letters. But the letters were ro-
mantle, and Liliana hadn't ex-
pected that. She quit writing.
Miller wasn't discouraged that
easily. He came to Italy a few
days ago, found her, and-they
were married today so quickly
that a sympathetic priest set aside
the normal waiting time on the
publishing of wedding bans.

they viewed the Soviet bloc's COM

Prague as the most cleverly
Worded statement on this country
which the Russian Government
has drafted since the war.
The sources said the communi-
que obviously appears aimed at
stirring the deepest patriotic

The Communist Bloc's new call

move against Western European
defense plans.
Diplomatic officials said, how

final estimate of Soviet inten-
tions could be made. The propo-
sal was advanced in a communique
