Scelba, who won final parliament
his month-old coalition govern
ment by only 17-vote majority
in the Chamber of Deputies. Dur.
ing the parliamentary debate, the
Communists accused the regime
and Pavone in particular OF trying
to hush up the Montesi scandal.
Pavone, whose job corresponded
to that of the FBI head. Of the
United States, said he was resign
ing to have the ''hberty necessary
to protect my person.
Scelba appointed Minister With
out Portfolio Raffaeie de Caro- 10
head am investigation into the
whole tangled case, in which many
high persons have been named,
including Piero Piccioni, son of
Foreign Minister Attilio Piccioni.
The nude body of the Montesi
girl was found ON the beach at
OStia, Rome's nearby Lido, last
April. The police report said there
was no reason to believe she had
died of anything other than acct
dental drowning.
The police have stuck to that
in spite of charges published re
Gently in the one-man magazine
Attualita (Actuality) that the dark
haired Wilma was drugged at an
orgy at am exclusive hunt club
near Ostia and left for the Medi-
terranean tides to drown. The
magazine named high political and
social figures as members of the
club, formerly the hunting lodge
of Italy's royalty.
The magazines editor, Silvano
Muto, is now on trial in a Rome
court on charges of spreading
false and alarmist reports. Star
defense witness Anna Marie Mon
eta Caglio has testified she sus-
poets her ex-lover Ugo Montagna,
a member OF the hunt club who
calls himself a marquis, knows
something about the Montesi girls
death. She said Montagna was a
friend of the younger Piccioni, that
the two had visited Pavone and
that Montagna acquired an apart
ment In May last year for the
police chief. She said she didn't
know whether the alleged gift was
connected with the Montesi case.
Pavone already has denied the
story.

Commission for so cents per thou.
sand gallons.
SIT is believed that If the COM
mission can grant a special rate
to those projects, (1000 units), a
private enterprise, a similar con-
sideration can be given to the Key
West Housing Authority which also
installed and maintains q water
system for 1893 units.
Ramsey. replied that the terms
of a bond indenture under which
the commission operates, will not
allow them to reduce the rates.
His letter:
"The commission is not in a posi-
ton to lower any water rates. The
trust indenture dated March /,
1852 under which the commission
operates provides that the COM
mission covenant that it will con-
tinue in effect the schedule of rates
in use at that time and several
other provisions concerning re-
serves and reserve maintenance
etc.
1.-THE housing authority benefits by
having few water meters for me-
tering consumption in its projects.
The average rate is just a frac-
ton over IS cents per thousand gal
Ions.
He pointed out that when Sigs-
bee Park and Peary Court were
built, the private owners agreed
to make the water installation and
the commission agreed to give
them a rate Of cost plus then cents
per thousand gallons, which a.
mounts to just about so cent per
thousand.
The Housing Authority Is seek
ing a reduced rate preparatory to
installing meters in all of its units.
At the present time, they pay for
all water used but when meters
are installed, they will give the
first three thousand free and as
sess tenants for the surplus used.
Average bill at Porter Place,
they point out, is now $7.5s and
at Fort Village, more than $11.0O.
The authority voted last night to
have Stirrup confer with the Navy.

modestly, is this announce
ment that ''Krizari" Lodge 70

the Congress Recreation en-

fifty-two alleys are going to
be at the disposal of the So

they meet in Chicago in 1855.
Secondly, Mr.. Lohoff, sales
manager of the Congress Ho-

his hotel catering to the

hotel and the bowling alleys
are merely one block apart it
will be advantageous to all

Home Office Will Aid
Younq Pin Enthusiasts

Pittsburgh, Pa. - The So

stimulate bowling among the
Junior Order members.
While the Home Office can
not entirely defray the cost
of bowling when Junior par
takes in a sanctioned league
we nevertheless make the
best possible effort in that
direction. -,
For this reason we at this
time make an excerpt Of the
CFU bowling policy for 1853
81 as it was announced as late
as the September 10th issue
of the Zajednicar:
1.-THE Croatian Fraternal
Union will pay the sum of
five cents ($.05) per game to
each Junior, boy or girl, who
rolls in a C.F.U. sanctioned
league or on a sanctioned
Nest independent team,
1.-THE Director of this De-
partment will authorize this
reimbursement twice Zach
season to December 31st of
the present year and to the
close of the bowling season.
This to be done only upon
proper certification by the
alleys proprietor and the
league Secretary or Nest
Manager that the Junior
members had bowled the
games claimed"

Bow|ers Will Populate
Handy Detroit Hotels

Detroit, Mich. - One of
our first concerns when max
ing plans for any tournament
is hotel reservations.
When you come to Detroit
this May for the CFU's 10th
Annual Tenpin Tournament,
headquarters will be the Sher-
atom Cadillac Hotel, one of
the Motor City's finest.
It is located in Downtown
Detroit, less than a 5-minute
walk from Detroit Recreation,
which houses all tournament
bowling lanes, and is near di-
rect transportation to the
United Dairy Workers Hall,
where all social functions will
be held. Also, it is within close
walking distance to this city's
leading department 8 to r es
and speciality shops. Whether
you're travelling to Detroit
via train, bus, car or plane,
the Sheraton-C Cadillac is con-
veniently situated.
This hotel boasts 1900
rooms and five restaurants
which are, in their own words,
designed to suit your dining
pleasure, whether it be for a
simple late snack or a filet
mignon with baked alaska
flambe for dessert" Their
service leaves nothing to be
wanted.
So, be early and be sure,
and write to Helen Perpich,
1876 Santa Rosa, Detroit Il,
Michigan, for reservations.
