H-Bomb Tests Show
Need Of Precautions,
Eisenhower Says

President Eisenhower said to-
day it is quite clear that some
thing unexpected happened that
astonished the scientists in the
recent test explosion of a hydro
gen bomb in the Pacific.
Discussing the injury to sew
eral japanese fishermen many
miles away from radioactive
particles following the explosion.
the President told a news con-
ference that the United States
win have to take precautions it
never did before.
He told a questioner that he
Is not aware so far of the details
Of the unexpected spread Of
dangerous radioactivity. But he
said 1t had been reported to him
that the reports Of injury were
more serious than the actual
results justified - presumably
meaning that the reports were
exaggerated.
The President promised fur
Their study in an effort to make
available all possible information
about atomic and hydrogen bomb
developments to the people Of
this country and the world.
A reporter. told the President
that what he called the uranium
secrecy curtain seemed to be
closing ever tighter at the Atomic
Energy Commission. and asked
about possible resumption Of
Acc press conferences.
The President, said he had no
positive answer as to whether
that would' be a good thing.
But. he said, on entering the
atomic age, the American people
have, legitimate questions and
the right to ask them of the
President and other officials. He
said the questions should be an
swered when the answers can be
given without jeopardizing Unit
ed States security.

He said there has been a con-
tinuouS rise in unemployment

But he emphasized that moth

Mr.. Clague said that April was
the month when I'VE should see
a big change in the employment
picture. He added that the
country would be in for trouble
if employment doesn't rise
sharply next month and is not
accompanied by a sharp drop in
unemployment.
Gen. Eisenhower's remark
about his legislative program

sturdieSt Of combinations and
the majority which the govern
ment holds (18 seats) is too slim
for real comfort. Still, there Is
every reason to hope that Mr..
Scelba will be around for a while
and that effective democratic
government is not yet an impos-
sibility in Italy.
Apart from the parliament
tary picture. the feeling is that
an overwhelming proportion of
Italians are still in favor of
democratic government. When
it comes to the real thing.
neither communism nor fascism
have much appeal for the aver
age voter. There is no ten
dency. Of course. to laugh off the
fact that all the extremist par
ties gained strength in the last
elections at the expense of all
the center parties. But many
experts think that this vote was
more a protest and a warning
to the democrats than a serious
move toward totalitarianiSm. In
1948, when the Communists
seemed to have a real chance
Of victory at the polls. the coun-
try united to defeat them
Soundly. There was no such
feeling Of common danger last
year. But in the same kind of
q showdown. the hope is that
the common front would be re-
established.
Small Hard Core Of Reds.
The best guess is that there
are no more than 200, 900 hard
core Communists in Italy, of
whom only some 10000 are &C
tive. Kremlin-inSpired leaders.
There are about 3 million
enrolled party members, most of
them members of trade unions
or other dominated organi-
cations. That this group should
be able to pull down a third of
the national vote is a compli-
ment to their flare for organi-
cation, If not to the intelligence
and responsibility of the "inde-
pendent" Italian voter.
There is another block to
communism in Italy in the Cath
ole Church. In spite of q grow
ing spirit of anti-clericiSm in
some parts of the country, the
great mass of Italians are still
devoutly loyal to the Church and
profoundly Influenced by its
leadership. Up to this point. the
Church has played q moderate
role in the political struggle. But
If the chips were. down it could
swing tremendous political
weight and, according to many
observers here, would do so.
Coup Also Discounted.
Altogether, it is hard to see
how the Communists - barring
some completely unexpected de-
velopment-could take over in
italy today. In the present Par
lament. there is no possibility
Of an anti-democratic majority.
If elections were held now, it is
almost inconceivable that they
could win q decisive victory.
The chances for more direct
action, by means of a coup d'etat
are no better. Without the Red
Army to support them, the
power to back up any such dra-
matte move would depend on the
support Of the Italian Army or
the police. both Of which are
strongly anti-communist.
These. then, are some of the
things that must be kept in
mind in talking about the Com
munist danger in Italy. This
danger is very real and it will
take strong measures to avert
it. But considering the strength
and the reserves that democracy
in Italy has at its command, it
is absurd at this point to write
on the battle as already lost.
