Communism in Italy Called
Symptom of Dissatisfaction
Real Cure Declared to Be Found Only
Within Country's Government Itself

the sympathies of one Italian in
three would lie in the enemy
camp, and the government that
undertook the job would have to
be very sure of the strength of
its own position.
1t is only fair to say that criti-
cism and mistrust Of the gov
eminent is very widespread in
Italy today. The Montesi scan-
dal-whatever credit may be
given the COMMUNISTS symp-
tomato of this universal cynicism
and of a willingness to believe
the most outrageous cherges of
corruption in high places.
1t is not true. of course, that
all wealthy Italians take dope.
dabble in suspicious deals and
behave themselves like post
graduate juvenile delinquents. It
is not true that all policemen
take brides or that all public Of
f1cials connive to protect their
friends. Still. the record of the
upper-crust, including members
Of the ruling political group. has
not been one to reasSure the
average man.
Some of the criticism of the
Governments performance may
seem unjustified. Although much
still remains to be done in the
way to tax reform and the I'M
Stacking of Italy's highly re-
stricted socialist economy, the
overall economic progress has
been statistically impressive. The
fact is that more has been &C
complished by way of economic
reconstruction since the war
than in 20 years under facism.

On New York Docks

n
By james Y. Newton

A Government hearing officer
today recommended the setting
aside Of a union representation
election held last December on
New York City's Strike-torn wa
terfront and the holding of new
election to determine which I'M
ion would represent the dock
workers.
The ruling was made by Ar

Two lonsshore Unions Rebuff Poy Roise

He found that the December
balloting was conducted in an
atmosphere of fear and coer-
cion" in which it was impossible
to conduct a fair election.
In the December balloting the
independent International Long
soremen's Association pole d
more votes than the union of
the same name which the Amer

lished to represent the water
front workers.
Tied Up by Strike.
The waterfront in New York
and Northern New Jersey cur

the old LILA which now has been
going on for three weeks.
The shipping industry. in an
effort to break the strike. has
offered a package" wage in
crease, retroactive to last Octo-
Der /. of 10 cents an hour to all
dock workers who return to their
jobs by next Wednesday.
The strike was called by the
old lila apparently in an effort
to force the shipping association
to recognize its right to repre-
sent the dock workers.
At the same time the opera
tors of tugboats in the New
York harbor, members of the old
lila, joined the strike of the
longshoremen yesterday.

House Committee 'ScuttIes'
Eisenhower Housing Program;
Cuts Public Units to $4,000
Acc and VA Funds
Reduced; New Curbs
Are Placed on IVA
BY the Associated Pres,

President Eisenhower'S plans
for 4-year, 140, 00O-unit pub
lie housing program were all but
scuttled today by a House APP
preparations Committee recon-
mendation.
The committee asked the
House to cut the program to an
estimated $4,000 units and to
terminate it in two years.
Its recommendation was con-
tanned in a $5.566,118,763 omni-
bus appropriation bill sent to the
House floor for debate next week.
The total amount in the bill is
1865. GOA 1877 less than the Presi-
dent wanted-a cut of 81 per
cent. It is 1915, 168, 400 below
what the same agencies received
this year. The bill carries funds
for the fiscal year starting
July /.
A deep cut was made in. funds
recommended for the Atomic
Energy Commission but Repre-
sentative Phillips, Republican, of
California, said no reductions in
the Aces construction and
weapons programs are involved.
Big iva Cut Recommended.
A big reduction was recon-
mended for the Veterans Admin
iStration, too, plus new restric-
tons on the Tennessee Valley
Authority's activities.
These were overshadowed by
the committee recommendation
for public housing. No formal
explanation was offered, other
than that slum clearance is the
only justification for the pro-
gram. Mr.. Phillips said the pub
lie housing program has not
worked out satisfactorily.
In many instances" he said,
"the people for whom these
houses were intended haven't
been able to occupy them In
some cases, political Qualifica-
tons. rather than economic quail
if1cations. appear to have been
the yardStick."
Gen. Eisenhower on January
rs sent Congress a message ask
ing that the present public hous-
ing program be continued lat a
reasonable level" He asked APP
proval of a four-year construc-
ton program at the rate of 35,-
600 units a year.
New Units Limited.
The Appropriations Commit
tee put a limit of 10000 on the
new units that may be started
during the coming fiscal year
and said the entire program
should be wound up with an es-
timated $4,000 additional units
in the following year.
The $4,000 units approved, the
committee said. are those for
which the Government already
has legally committed itself and
for which it has made binding"
contracts.
The House normally follows
the committees suggestions, al
though stiff fight will be made
by Democrats to upset the COM
mittee's housing recommended
ton.
The committee cut the Atomic
Energy Commissions budget
from $1.342, 1000. 900 to $1,189,-
$50, 700, a slash of $152, OBS, 300
but an increase of $132,179, TOO
over the funds given the Acc
this year.
Mr.. Phillips explanation was
that the original budget called
for $238 million more for con-
struction than was spent this
year. but the Acc withdrew. the
request because it will have suf-
11cient money carried over from
previous years for the work.
Funds for Acc Units.
The committee gave the Acc
all but 100000 Of the $740.-
$4,000 requested for source and
fashionable materials; the entire
$500. 926,000 asked for the weap-
