Rome's Scandal Trial
Held Up for Probe Of
New Death Charge
BY the Associated Press

ROME, Mar. ga Rome
tribunal today suspended the
trial Of Journalist Silvar1o Muto
pending q new investigation Of
the death Of party girl Wilma
MonteSi.
Developments which followed
her death on an Ostia beach
nearly a year ago have muSh-
roomed into a scandal which
has threatened the life Of the
new government Of Premier
Mario Scelba.
The abrupt suspension Of the
trial was ordered at the request
Of the public prosecutor. He
asked it, he said, because ''of
the specific accusation Of muir
der by Anna Maria Moneta
Gaglio."
Miss Gaglio, in letter read
to the court Saturday. called
Piero Piccioni, son Of Italy's
foreign minister, the assassin
for a dope ring headed by Mar
quiS Ugo Montagna, at whose
home Miss Montesi repeatedly
spent her last hours.
"AIarmists" Reports Charged.
Muto is being tried on charges
of printing false and alarmis-
tic" reports Of Miss Montesi's
death-that she did not drown
accidentally as police said. but
was afflicted by an overdose OF
narcotics at a wild high society
party and left to die on the
beach.
Muto's lawyers agreed with
the prosecution request for suS-
pension. President Domenico
Surdo said:
"The court agrees on the alb
solute need of suspending the
trial and Of sending documents
pertinent to the death Of Wilma
Montesi back to the prosecutors
office"
He did not set a date for re-
sumption of Muto's trial.
Court adjourned amid a ter
rife uproar in the small court
room, where witnesses during
the two-weeks' trial have &C
cused leading figures of Italian
high society and government Of
misconduct and dubious aSSocia-
tons.
Police Chief Resigns.
National police chief Tommaso
Pavone resigned after being
mentioned in connection with
the case. Foreign Minister At
tilio Piccioni repeatedly offered
his resignation when the name
of his son. Piero, came up in
the case. The hardpressed
Scelba government refused to &C

of a committee should be fully
informed when a subpoena was
to be issued.
Mounting Concern.
"There has been a lot Of con-
Germ among Senators on both
sides of the aisle" Senator
Knowland said, because Of the
situations arising out Of COM
mittee investigations. There is
a growing demand for ground
rules set up by the Senate itself.
But there is no intention Of ham
stringing senatorial investiga-
tions. There is universal resist
ance in Congress to cutting down
in any way the power of congress
sional investigation and the very
valuable function it performs"
The rights of individuals and
witnesses before the senate COM
mittees must, however, be pro-
tected, Senator Knowland said.
Consideration is being given
to setting up a special COM
mittee, of members of the Re-
publican and Democratic Policy
Committees to work on a new
set of rules to be submitted at
the opening of Congress next
January, he said. The job also
might be turned over to the
Senate Rules Committee. 1t is
entirely possible, he added. that
a resolution calling for such
changes in the rules will be
offered during the present ses-
sion, so that Senators will have
an opportunity to null over the
proposals before the new session.
Television Is Problem.
One part of the problem was
the adoption of rules regarding
the use of television and radio
at Senate committee hearings,
Senator Knowland added. The
Army Mccarthy hearings have
been televised and broadcast.
Who's to pay for this kind of
coverage, and whether there are
to be private sponsors, and what
kind of private sponsors are all
complex questions.
"Is the public better off or not
for seeing and hearing these in
vestigations," is another question
that must be considered, Senator
Knowland said. In permitting
sponsorship, he said, the Senate
on it's committee would have to
Evening star., 1954-05-23

avoid sponsorship (which would
have a bad public reaction"
Where do you draw the line,
and howe" the Senator asked.
Another question is; shall the
Senate insist that the whole of
a hearing must be televised? It
might be entirely unfair to tele-
wise only certain parts Of an in
vestigation. On the other hand,
we do not insist that newspapers
shall publish all or none of the
testimony given before a con-
greSsional committee.
Some quarters have contended
that newspaper reports are not
always objective and fair, and
that by having a Senate hearing
televised or carried by radio, the
public will get the complete pic
ture and the facts and can reach
it's own judgment. The public,
however, is free to see or listen
to just as much or as little as it
chooses.

Mundt Predicts
Hearings Will End
Within Two Weeks
By the A,,oeiuiad Pres,

Senator Mundt, Republican, Of
South Dakota. predicted yester-
day that the Army-McC Carthy
hearing, which resumes tomor-
row, will be completed within
two weeks.
The acting chairman said the
Senate Investigating Subcom-
mittee certainly will go ahead"
and write a report on its find
ings, regardless of the outcome
of a current Republican-Demo-
cratic row involving monitored
telephone calls.
The Capital, meanwhile, waited
to see what Senator Mccarthy
would do in protest against q
presidential order clamping Sc
crecy on a high-level meeting at
which the Army's troubles with
him were discussed.
Improper Pressure Charged.
Army Secretary Stevens and
Army Counselor John G. Adams
have accused Senator Mccarthy
and two staff aides of having
used improper pressures in quest
OF favored treatment for Pvt. G..
David Schine, a former non-sal-
aried member of Senator McCar-
thy's staff.
Mccarthy and the aides, Roy
M. Cohn and Francis P. Carr,
have counter-charged that Mr..
Stevens and Mr.. Adams sought to
use the drafted Pvt. Schine as a
club in a scheme to "blackmail'
the subcommittee into abandon
ing its Investigations of alleged
communism in the Army.
Senator Mundt said he intends
to call the hearings back into
session at 10 am. tomorrow and
keep them going without further
Interruptions until the evidence
has been completed.
The Senator said specifically
he intends no recesses to deal
with the issue of how to handle
records of telephone calls from
Senators and others to the Pen
tagon.
Differ Sharply.
The four Republicans and three
Democratic members of the SUBJ
committee have signed sharply
different statements on methods
for admitting any of the moni-
tored talks into evidence.
Senator Mundt contends that
unless the Democrats back up
from their stand the Army may
refuse to hand over any Of the
Stenographic transcripts it has.
"We certainly will go ahead
and write a report Con the
whole Army Mccarthy row.
whether we get them or not" he
said.
Senator Mundt said he is writ
ing to Joseph N. Welch, special
counsel for the Army, asking
whether the Army construes the
differing letters of consent from
the Republicans and Democrats
as sufficient to let the Army
legally hand over records of the
calls. Mr.. WEIGH contends il
is legal to record calls secretly
but that the law requires consent
from all concerned before they
can be disclosed.
Both Democrats and Republi-
cans on the subcommittee insist
they want any pertinent calls
placed on the public record.
