Gilt Leaf Coat Planned
For Italian Statues

A special coat of gold leaf will
cover the four bronze equestrian
groups Italy is casting for the
Arlington Memorial Bridge, it was
announced from Rome today.
The Associated Press report was
the first confirmation American
officials have received that the
so-called "fire-gilt" treatment for
the statues had been approved
formally by the Italian govern
ment. Harry T. Thompson. as
sistant superintendent of National
Capital parks, who represented
this Government in negotiations,
had been shown samples Of the
process while in Rome recently.
Mr.. Thompson added that the
pouring Of the first casting In
Rome would be attended by high
ranking Italian and American Of
f1cials. The equestrian group, de-
signed by American sculptors in
the United States, are now under
preparation for casting in Italian
bronze at foundries in Naples,
Rome, Florence and Milan. Mr..
Thompson supervised the ship
ment of the plaster models in 81
large wooden cases carried across
the Atlantic In an Army transport.
Authorities in Rome said foun-
dries were selected in the four
cities to make the symbolic gift
come from all parts of the nation
al territory. Italy consented to
do the casting in appreciation for
American postwar assistance.

efficiency rating system with q
more simplif1ed one.
The House group also will ap-
prove legislation to replace the
present efficiency rating system,
but it will provide specifically
that the present appeals setup be
retained.
All OF which means that, if the
House and Senate approve the
bills Of their respective commit
tees, the matter will have to be
settled in conference.
Senator Long, Democrat of
Louisiana. chairman of the SEN
ate subcommittee holding hear
ings on efficiency ratings, feels
very strongly about abolishing
the present appeals system. On
the other hand, Chairman Muir
ray of the full committee feels
just as strongly that the present
appeals setup should be main
tanned.
Both committees began hear
ings on the efficiency rating legis-
tion yesterday. Both groups ap-
peared agreed on the necessity of
abolishing the present system, but
they were poles apart on the ap-
peals issue. Officials of the AFL
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees, the National AS
sociation of Letter Carriers, the
National Federation of Post Office
Clerks, the National Federation of
Federal Employees, the Govern
ment Employees Council and other
groups testified in strong opposi-
tion to depriving Federal workers
of present appeal rights.
The employe groups appeared
before the House committee. To-
day they will testify before the
Senate group. The Senate COM
mittee also heard yesterday from
representatives of the American
Legion. who strongly opposed the
Hoover Commissions proposals re-
garding veterans preference in
Government employment. The
Senate unit is considering the
Hoover personnel proposals along
with efficiency rating legislation
during its current hearings.

Senate Group 10 Take
New Testimony on DIP
Bill Already on Floor
BY the Associated Press

A Senate committee called for
additional testimony today on
whether to let more European
refugees into this country-even
as bill to do just that was being
hotly debated on the Senate floor.
On the floor, Senator Eastland,
Democrat, of Mississippi, de-
clared late yesterday that cer-
tain European officials of the Dis
placed Persons Commission have
been guilty of moral treason"
Without naming the officials. he
accused them of letting Crmmu-
nists filter into the United States
as refugees.
A Senate Judiciary Subcommit-
tee. meanwhile, called in Alex
Squadrilli. head of the DIP pro-
gram in Europe, for questioning.
Senator Kilgore, Democrat, of
West Virginia commented that as
far as he knew it was THE first
time in the history of the Senate"
that committee has been called
for further hearings on bill al
ready UP for action.
Senator Kilgore. a member Of
the Judiciary Committee, said he
was glad to have testimony taken
from Mr.. Squadrilli, but added
that the witness should have been
called before the committee acted
on the legislation.
A heavily amended version Of
a measure passed by the House
last year to liberalize the 1948
Displaced Persons Act was report
ed to the Senate late in January
by the committee.
Since then a substitute bill,
closely conforming to the House
bill and to the recommendations
OF President Truman, has been
offered by 18 Republican and
Democratic Senators.

members of the Judiciary Com
mlttee supporting the substitute.
Two other members of the COM
mittee also have announced they
favor a more liberal bill than the
committee measure.
The differences are centered in
the definition of displaced per-
sons, certain priorities for their
admission and the administration
OF the program. The committee
bill would raise the number Of
DPS eligible for entry from 205,-
600 to 100000, but opponents
argue that other provisions would
more than offset the increase.

Bonus Bill Killed

Unique parliamentary maneu-
vers Debated the old political foot
ball-a bonus bill for war vet
erans-on the Maryland Assembly's
last day.
The Senate and the House of
Delegates had different versions
of bonus legislation. A bill passed
by the Senate carried a $125
million appropriation and no sug-
gestion of raising the money.
When that got to the House, it
was bottled up in committee.
A referendum bill passed by
the House carried a $100 million
appropriation and a provision to
raise the State retail sales tax
from 2 to 3 per cent in order to
provide the money. When the
House bill reached the other side
of the Capitol, the Senate went
into executive session-barring the
public-and then adjourned sine
die.

The curls which peep out beneath

She is a charter member of the

Born on a farm near Middlefield
and living later in Painesville
where her husband was Lake

She says anyone can drive a horse
so long as they are not afraid of
the horse, says a horse is never
afraid if the driver isn't.
