changed the face of the earth on
more than a million and a half
acres. BY the end of the year the
last acre will have been distributed
to the peasants. Then will begin
the second phase of the program,
five-year work of education and
development.
The land-reform program Is di-
vided into ten colonization areas
throughout the country which are
public authorities and not depart
ments of the Italian government.
They are under the control of the
Ministry of Agriculture only in a
general manner.
They are made up of colonies,
each with its own proper admins
trative offices, each with its own
farm machinery pool and each with
its own cooperative produce mar
keting plan. The completed pro-
gram calls for each colony also to
have one or more schools, church
es and social centers.
Each colonial center has direc-
tor, a crop-control service, a social
service and machinery service. In
all about so people serve each col
ony either in administration or in
various technical capacities, such
as machinery repair and construc-
ton.
The average number OF fam
lilies In each colony is 100. To
date the total program has re.
settled $4,000 families, built S.
22o new farm buildings, and put
TO productive use 3,7o6 500 acres.
Since last year some colonies
have more than doubled their
farm production.
The land-reform program has
operatec on simple plan of ex-
preparation from the great land.
holders and distribution to the
peasants. The method Of expropria-
tion was likewise simple. BY a cen
turies-old custom for avoiding
taxes the landholders had declared
a great part OF their land as prac.
tically worthless. Many of them liv,
ing in cities, would do little more
than take an occasional look at vast
areas left lying fallow.
In 1949, the government took the
landholders at their word and, by
an act of legislation, appropriated
the worthless" land from any es-
tate of more than 300 hectares
about two and half acres) which
was not under cultivation. The gov
ernment paid them two-thirds of
the lands assessed value with %
year bonds bearing five per cent
interest. In turn it distributed the
lands. to the peasants at AZ per
cent of cost, which could be pur-
chased through 30-year govern
ment loan at three and a half per
cent interest. i
BY 1860, the government will
have poured $3.50 millions into aid
and technical advice for the peas
ants. But-this is the question some
here ask-will the peasant be able
or willing to "go it alone" by that
time? Will the government be able
or willing to pull out?
Whatever the fears for the fu-
ture and whatever questions may
be raised concerning the motiva-
tion of the authors or executors of
the land reform program, the fact

Authority 10 Compel
Continued Training
|Of Reservists Seen
Byih. Assoeiufsd Pres.

The Pentagon believes that
congressional approval Of the
new military training program
would give the services ample
authority to compel reseryists TO
continue regular training.
President Eisenhower, in q
special message to Congress on
January Is, proposed inclusion
Of a strong provision to give
other than honorable discharges
to men who failed or refused to
maintain their reserve standing.
But when the Defense Depart
ment submitted the program in
the form Of a bill one week
later. this provision had been
omitted from the body Of the
measure and inserted in the
general preamble.
What the Congress has now
been asked to do is to express
its conviction" that honorable
service includes fulfillment of
service obligations in the reserve
forces. :.
Other Penalties Proposed.
sOficials said at the time that
the discharges could be ordered
by administrative action, and
that the measure also proposed
other specific penalties.
One defense official said the
inforcing provision was taken
from the detailed measure due
to a possible excess of caution. /"
He was referring to the historic
reluctance of congressman to
vote for compulsory or universal
military training. /.
The military service law now
in effect also provides for con-
tinued reserve training for dis
charged draftees, using such
terms as obligation" and duty
in referring to it. But the armed
services have been loath to tie
the idea Of duty to actual In
forcing procedures.
Would Be Up to Services.
If Congress expresses its con-
viction that a reservist must full
fill his service obligation in order
to get a full and honorable dis
charge, defense officials say that

Juvenile Court Judge Edith II.
CockriIl yesterday sharply criti-
cized the armed sevices. after q
teen-ager told her he was forced
to produce his juvenile record
at q Navy recruiting ofice.
The boy, 1s. appeared In the
court so that the. Judge could
dismiss him from probation. A
social worker told Judge Cockrill
he planned to join the Navy.
The boy told Judge Cockrill,
however, that the recruiting Of
ficer had told him to get q copy
Of his record from the Juvenile
Court and bring it to him. When
the officer saw it, the boy con-
tinued, he told him he would
not be acceptable by the Navy
until he brought a letter saying
the probation period had ended.
Judge Cockrill then declared
the boys record as a juvenile
'is not supposed to bar him
from the service"
Not Criminal Record.
"Your record in itself is not
criminal" declared Judge Cock
rill. The j,Irist often has criti-
cized the armed services and
others who have attempted to
make use of the records Of the
juveniles which, she says. are
not actually police records and
which should remain secret.
In another case, young boy
was committed to the National
Training School after he was
found involved in two holdups
last December Is with four
adults.
One Of the robberies took
place in Baltimore and the other
