The Communists, In control Of

Giuseppe di vittorio, a Moscow
trained Communist who shuttles
back and forth to Vienna to WITH
headquarters, has installed in each

cell through which the Communists
will exercise their control when
and if the chips are down. Di
Vittorio imposed these committees
against the will of many in the
unions themselves, and the order
which created the committees
some time ago had the tone Of a
military command.
Foreign observers in Rome have
little doubt these committees are

But the Communists already
have shown they can paralyze
Italy with this organization. They
did so in 1948. after the attempt

Palmiro Togliatti. The shrewd Di
vittorio. knowing his Italians, kept
the general strike going only SO
long as he knew it would be sup

rather than risk demonstration
that the Red control was not COM
lplete.
The CGH has not been interfer-
ling with the unloading OF military
supplies in Italy from the United
States, ever since the Communist
attempts to do so in Naples failed

fact that Italians need jobs and

One instance of the careful
organizations is in the machinery
set up by the CGIL to grant loans
without interest to workers in
desperate need Of money. A gesture

|Di Vittorio Is a clever psychologist
and knows his people well.
There is some indication that
|Di Vittorio sometimes chafes under
the Cominform's discipline, and
possibly his position would not be

itself had more actual strength.
While the party has 2 million
members, the hard core probably

Probers 10 Question
McGraih on Refusal
To Furnish Data
By George Beyeridqe

House investigators today sought
q personal explanation from At
torney General McGrath for the
Justice DEPARTMENTS refusal to
turn over voluminous data on its
record of prosecuting cases.
The refusal came yesterday from
Joseph C. Duggan, a top aid to
Mr.. McGrath. He questioned a
House judiciary subcommittee'S
authority to demand the data, and
said the mechanical job of getting
it together would be an 'intol-
cradle burden"
Called for Questioning.
The subcommittee. headed by
Representative Chelf, Democrat,
of Kentucky, Immediately decided
to ask Mr.. McGrath to appear at
q closed meeting. probably next
week, to give detailed reasons
for the refusal. Mr.. ,Chelf said
he understood the Attorney Cen
eral was out of town, but that
he would try to contact him today.
# Mr.. McGrath persists in the
refusal, subcommittee members
indicated they might try to SUI
poena the material. If that failed.
they said. they might make a per-
Sonal appeal to the White House.
On numerous occasions in the
past. however, the executive
branch has refused fatty to give
records to Congress. and all the
powers of Capitol Hill committees
have been to no avail.
Covers 6-Year Period.
The House groups request
first move in its probe Of the JUS
tice Department-was for a run
down Of all cases sent to the de-
partment during the last six years
in which prosecution attempts were
declined, cases were sent back to
other agencies, or cases are still
pending.
The House Committee is taking
the position that all it wants is a
Statistical listing" which could
be drawn up without causing an
"Intolerable" administrative bur-
den.
AS to the challenge of the COM
mittee's authority, Mr.. Chelf told
reporters:
"The committee takes the at
titude that. as a seven-man group
Of lawyers, not only does it have
the authority. but it intends to
exercise that authority-and not
have some one else who is the
subject Of an investigation de-
eide"
Hopes for Agreement.
The Kentuckian, however, he
said. had great hopes that we
won't have to resort" to such
moves as exercising subpoena
powers or appealing directly to
President Truman.
I'VE hope Mr.. McGrath will
comply" he declared. 1--WE have
the fullest respect for the Attorney
Generals cabinet position and we
are inviting-not demanding
that he come in" If Mr.. McGrath
accepts, he will not be sworn for
testimony.
In addition to the request to
Justice, the subcommittee asked
20 other departments and agencies
to submit similar data on cases
they have sent to the Justice
Department for possible prosecu-
tion.
None Of them, Mr.. Chelf said,
has refused to comply, and "a
great majority have indicated they
are complying with our request"
