zo|i Won't Use
Fascist Votes,
Resigns in Italy

ROME. June II R.-Presi-
dent Giovanni Gronchi today
started the search for a new
Christian Democratic premier to
lead Italy out Of the most be-
wildering political jungle in its
postwar history.
The series OF consultations
with party leaders followed the
resignation last night Of 69-year-
old Adone Zoli. who refused to
remain in office because his o.
day-old minority government
was dependent on Fascist votes
in parliament.
There was no indication who
might get the nod. but 55-year-
old Giuseppe Pelle. q former
premier, was mentioned fire.
quently.
AS finance minister in govern
ments of the late Alcide de Cas-
peri. Mr.. Pella generally is
credited with having untangled
the Italian economy from the
muddle Of the years just after
the war.
Christian Democrat Likely
Choice of a Christian Demo-
crat appeared certain. 1t is the
biggest party in parliament al
though it is short Of majorities
in both houses.
The new government also will
be little more than q caretaker
regime until the next elections.
These are scheduled next spring,
but could come earlier If the
recent lack of cooperation
among the center parties con-
tinueS.
AS a caretaker regime. the
new cabinet will continue the
domestic and foreign policies of
past Italian governments. These
include close association with
the various Western alliances
and continued friendship with
the United States.
Believed One Vote Short
! Mr.. Zoli's Christian Democrat
government collapsed last night
because he learned that a re.
check Of a confidence vote in the
chamber Of deputies showed that
Fascist votes had given him mis-
victory margin.
The results of the recheck are
TO be announced tonight. But
authoritative sources said Mr.
Zoli fell one short Of a required
majority Of 282 if he deducted
the "a Fascist votes he received

Government. Mr.. Mitchell sug-
gested that a committee be APP
pointed to work with him in
developing such a program either
through a presidential execu-
tive order or legislation.
Besides Mr.. Magic, the COM
mittee Is composed Of James A.
Campbell. president. American
Federation Of Government En-
ployes. and William H. Ryan.
president. District A, Interna-
tional Association of Machin-
lists. The committee and Mr..
Mitchell will seek to work out
a satisfactory program whereby
Federal agencies would be re-
quired to deal with Government
employe unions on personnel
matters, etc.
AGREES = Meanwhile. Civil
Service Commissioner Chris
topher Phillips. in a speech today
before the Training Officers Con-
ference, took a view similar to
Secretary Mitchell in calling ter
Improvement labor-management
relationships in Government.
Il believe that the increasing
scope and complexity of Govern
ment today requires that we
leave no stone unturned in our
efforts to strengthen co-opera-
ton between management and
employees" Mr.. Phillips said. He
added. I'VE must continue to
develop respect on the part of
management for consulta ton
and negotiations with unions.
and also to develop the RESPONSE
bility Of unions for carrying their
part Of the load"

doing at the time Of his death.
Comdr. Crabb. a romantic and
mysterious British war hero,
vanished IA months ago after
diving near the Soviet cruiser
Ordzhonikidze in nearby Ports
mouth harbor. The ship had
brought Soviet Premier Nikolai
Bulganin and Communist Party
Boss Nikita Khrushchev on a
goodwill visit to Britain.
A spokesman at United States
Navy headquarters denied a re-
port published in the Daily Ex-
press that Comdr. Crabb was
carrying out an intelligence as
slgnment for the United States.
The Express said Comdr. Crabb
made a deal to find out what he
could about antisubmarine and
antifrogman devices on the H.
800-ton Russian warship. The
Navy spokesman said "Crabb was
not and never had been en-
ployed by us. Before his dis
appearance most of us had never
even heard of him"

Two facts seemed to point 10

posed body recovered from the

officers said there was no record
of any other missing frogmar

Federal agencies to make certain
that safety standards were being
observed.
An annual report would be
made to Congress, the Budget
Bureau and the Labor Depart

standards.
In approving the bill, the SEN
ate group noted that the Gov

higher than industry. During
the last five years, 427.l29 Fed

on the job. OF this number,
LIS were fatally injured and
200, 900 were disabled for work.

Mr.. Levitt already has dis
closed to The Star that he
plans to build two houses to

of the land will be taken up by
q completely planned city. with
shopping centers. swimming
pools. community hall, library
etc. The houses will range in
price from $4,000 to SIS. 900.
he said.
Construction Of two houses

Mr.. Reichelt said that so far
the county officials are COM

School Problem
The commission president
saw the problem Of schools as
the main one at Belair. He
estimated that at least two.
and perhaps three. elementary
schools and one junior-senior
high school will be required.
At other and much larger
Levitt developments. in Penn

the concern has sold land for
schools to the county author

around $500 an acre at Belair,
and Mr.. Reichelt said 20 acres
would be necessary for ele-
mentary schools and 80 acres
for q high school.

The session. at Sis pm. Is

Last year. the elective status
Of the School Board was abol-
