MAY DAY is a delicate occasion
for the beautiful and ancient Ital-
ian town Of Sorrento. There, as
everywhere, it is the years prin-
cipal holiday in the Communist
calendar. It is also the festival Of
Sorrento's patron, St. Antonino.
St. Antonino IS in particular honor
since the war. because he shielded
his town so faithfully that not a
single bomb. Allied or German,
fell in it. in spite Of all the squad
rons that passed overhead on their
way across the Bay Of Naples and
the Gulf Of Salerno.
Communists and Christians in
Sorrento have q silent compact

it is certainly the more hopeful

strengthen our relations with this

The widespread feeling that the
whole world has turned against us
is dangerous. When a man or
animal feels pressed back alone
against a wall, he is apt to lose his
head. He covers in fear. or strikes
out in blind destruction. Either
reaction may bring disaster.
But we Americans are not alone.

We aren't the only ones to dis
cover the real Europe. The son Of

ished his second year at the Uni
versity Of Florence. He had no
money except his CT allowance.
He spent his vacations = a thing
unheard of to a European - hitch
hiking and working at odd farm
jobs all over Western Europe. He
found many adventures but no
hostility. The Europeans could not
have liked him for his dollars,
because he had none. They cheer
fully gave him rides in their cars,
meals from their family tables, a
bed in their guest rooms, or hay m
their barns if they had no extra
bed.
1t would be misleading to sug-
gest that there is no anti-American-

There are anti-American political

The anti-Americans include

A transcript OF that part of
President Eisenhower,s press
conference yesterday dealing
toith Political partisdnship fol-
loiUS:
@. (Merriman Smith, United
Press - Mr.. President. the
Democrats on Capitol Hill say
that bipartisan support of Ger
tain portions Of your program
has been endangered by Ger
tain statements which have
been made by members of the
administration, ia e m e n is
ranging from the fact that the
Democrats were soft toward
subversives in the Government,
to labels of political sadism.
The Democrats have asked or
suggested that you stop the
statements; and we wondered
If you could discuss the situa-
ton in general terms for us.
A. The President said, well,
he thinks. first Of all. it is
quite apparent that he is not
very much of a partisan. The
times are too serious, he
thinks. to indulge in partisan
ship to the extreme. and he
quite cheerfully admits that
there must be Democratic sup
port for the enactment of
certain parts of the program.
He believes Senator Knowl-
and has often described him.
self as majority leader with
out majority in the Senate,
so it is obvious that if these
things are to become law there
will have to be some support
from the Democratic side.
Now. this is one thing, he be-
lieves. he can say without APP
pearing to be pontifical or
particularly stuffed shirt
about it. The administration
has, and he has. tried to des-
perately draw up a program
that seems to him to be good
for all Americans. which in
cludes Democrats.
He doesn't expect any DEM
