Additional area marine supply
and boat dealers meet Monday
at Halls Restaurant to receive
details of a plan to set up an
outboard Boating Club of Wash
ington. Dealers viii be asked to
sound out some Of their outboard
customers on whether they
would like to form q club de-
signed to improve Derthing and
launching facilities in the area.
At least one dealer who was
in on a preliminary meeting last
week says the answer is sure to
be a resounding yes. Any group
formed viii have q job cut out
for 1t: locating more elbow room
in an area that is pretty well
controlled by Uncle Sam isn't
going to be easy. However. there
is no escaping the fact that
room needs to be found.
Here Is fresh evidence that
boating is spreading throughout
the country. Who would imagine
a few short years ago that boat
shows would be cropping up in
Omaha, Neb.; Dallas, Tex, or
IDes Moines, Iowa. Well, they
are just q few cities planning
Iexpositions during the first three
months of next year. The
Coast and Geodetic Survey has
just published the 18th edition

By 121 to 100

ROME, July % fP.-Premiel
Antonio Segni's NATO-alliec
coalition government was firml,
in the saddle today following
Senate Endorsement Of the new
cabinets policies.
The upper house voted 121-10C
last night to approve the left
of-center Christian Democrat
premier, an expert on land
reform. The Chamber of Dep
uties had approved the govern
ment 293-265 on Tuesday.
The Senate vote came after q
speech during which Mr.. Segni
pointedly limited that United
States occupation troops with
drawing from Austria would be
transferred to Italy to bolster
the NATO defense line.
Any American troops sent to
Italy, he told Communist critics,
would certainly be a mere frac-
ton OF the Soviet forces sta
toned in the countries of the
military treaty of Warsaw-the
so-called eastern NATO."
Twenty thousand American
soldiers in Austria must leave by
the end of october under the
neutrality provisions of the Aus
trian independence treaty. Ignor-
ing Communist boots of protest,
Mr.. Segni made clear they would
be welcome in Italy.
