skillful propaganda that Italy,
deprived of many raw ma
terials, needed a place in the
sun and should extend its
rule across the Mediterra-
mean and hdriatic found a re-
Sponse because it looked easy
to defeat Ethiopia. But the
Italian troops fought only
half -heartedly.
Mussolini's doom became
inevitable when he entered
World War II on the side of
the Germans. 1t was not lack
of military leadership or even
the failure of Hitler to supply
the Italian armies in North
Africa with equipment that
caused the defeat of those
forces. The men themselves
did not have the heart for the
struggle which they consid-
cred purpoSeleSs and I'M
necessary.
The logic of the italian
people has been confirmed
during the last five years.
After the war, Italy lost all
her possessions across the
Mediterranean and in the
Red Sea. She is confined,
these days, to what used to
be described by the MuSSo-
1ini propagandists as a bar
rem and rocky peninsula. Yet
at no time in its history has
Italy been more prosperous.
It's industries in the north
are booming; unemployment
is down. Only an infinitesi-
NAL percentage of its popula-
ton must emigrate to find a
better life across the Atlantic.
And for the first time in it's
history the treasury can boast
Of gold and hard currency re-
serves which, considering its
capabilities, population and
economic growth, compare
favorably with those of the
United States.

quacious taxi driver in Naples

ficials talk about spending
$40 billion to develop ,Ameri-
can exploration Of the moon
and outer space, but the
down-to-earth requirements
Of a business recovery in
America are being ignored.
More than So billion is to
be spent by the Government
for housing. but critics point
out that in most areas Gov
ernment money on 40-year
mortgages is not so much
needed, since the rental space
available has been steadily
increasing in recent years.
Another measure causing
concern is the proposal to bur-
den banks, savings-and-loan
associations and businesses
generally with the expensive
task of deducting taxes
on dividends at the source.
This not only means hard
ship for small stockholders
especially retired persons
who may not get their normal
income promptly hereafter,
but it involves a tremendous
amount Of paper work for the
companies themselves. 1t is
one of the most costly things
in the way of tax collection
ever suggested. Oddly enough,
it is being estimated by ex-
perts that, if the Government
did a better checking Job on
corporation Stockholder lists
and on payments made in
dividends each year, it could
readily collect from delin-
quent taxpayers.
Basically, business is wor-
ried about inflationary trends
and the upward rise Of prices
brought on by higher wage
levels. When an adminiStra-
ton scornS a balanced budget
and even suggests that to
balance it is harmful, then
businessmen begin to be
genuinely concerned about
the future.

turbing is that, while the

istration to come to grips
with the things that are
hurting the national econ
omy. Instead, there are signs
of a deep-seated hostility to
business on the part of the
administration which could
retard recovery and make
another recession inevitable.
Many unSound policies are
being advocated. Thus. the
drastic changes proposed in
the whole system of taxing
American companies abroad
could bring on a disruption of
foreign trade and add to the
difficulties Of many of our
allies.
Likewise, the stimulus that
had been expected through a
sensible program Of tax in
centives on depreciation al
lowances in connection with
new plant and equipment has
not materialized. Business
men don't really know what
to expect, and many of the
plans that should long ago
have been under way to con-
struct new plants haven't
been launched as yet. All the
benefits to employment that
would have been derived from
the heavy-goods industries
if a broader policy on depre-
citation had been formulated
have, therefore, not been
forthcoming.
The inclination in the
administration and in Con-
gress to spend money and
time on projects that do
not assist the normal econ
omic development of the
country, but merely add to
its deficits, has become pro-
nounced. Administration Of

ROME, Italy (By AZ Mail)

ROME, Italy (By Air MaiD.
My impression after a brief
time In the Italian capital
is that Italy, Of all our al
lies, is the most pro-Ameri-
can. This impression is
backed to the hilt by old
timers who have spent years
and Travelled widely in this
country.
Past experiences have
taught me to take statements
by high government officials
with a grain of salt. But
Americans and other foreign
ers Of long residence here
fully confirm the Italians
pro-American sentim e n t.
There is no bitter taste left
from their defeat at the
hands Of Gen. Mark Clark's
forces. The bulk Of the Ital-
ianS-even the ardent sup
porters Of Fascism and Mus
Solini-never had much heart
for fighting Americans.
Italians can be fighters,
but they are not warriors.
Life is too easy and pleas
ant, even for the poor, to
make militariSts. Moreover,
they have come to realize,
after centuries Of invasionS
and internal wars, that fight
ing has not paid dividends.
Mussolini tried to restore
the grandeur of the Roman
Empire, which at one time
dominated the whole known
world, but failed.
II Duce, contrary to some
widely circulated reports,
was once popular. He ended
the chaos which prevailed
after World War I and re-
stored the self confidence
and self respect of the
Italians. Social legislation,
such as old age pensions,
health insurance, etc., is still
on the statute books of the
present Italian Republic.
But MuSsolini failed la
mentally and caused the
downfall of his regime when
he forced his people to fight
wars which did not involve
the country'S security. His

reportorial tradition, is say
ing nothing.
1t is noted that Justice
Black, Senator Kefauver and
Mr.. Free are all Southerners
and all friends. It is con-
Sidered possible that Justice
Black chose this means Of
limiting to President Kennedy
what he deems a desirable
maneuver. During his brisk
Senate tenure, the liberal
Justice was a bold and adroit
politician.
The Senator from Tennes-
see also is liberal but a more
strict ConStitutionalist than
Justice Black. His friends
also note that, having been
comfortably reelected last
year, Senator Kefauver has
been enjoying a rewarding
limelight with his antitrust
subcommittee. Thus, he has
no reelection or Illustration
problems.
He also has before him the
example of an active liberal
once bitten by the presiden-
tial bug, Associate Justice
Douglas, who has never real
ly found fulfillment in a Su-
preme Court career. Senator
kefauver, who will be SO in
July, has been in the House
or Senate since he was 36.
At rs, Justice Black still is

ism, distinguish his "a years

New York (ANP) - It was like

was Yankee Stadium, wiIle's

full force.

Gets Greatest Ovation
Mays got by far the greatest
ovation Of any other player par
ticipating in the benefit game. The
audience gave him an even greater
ovation than such Yankee favor
ties as Mickey Mantle and Roger
Maris. And this was In Yankee
Stadium! ~
The audience did not waste its
applause on Willie, who hit q fifth
inning single to wipe out a 10
Yankee lead established by Mantle
with a prodigious homer In the
second inning.

The Yankees had started Al
Downing, Negro pitcher recently
brought from the minors, and kept
him in the game for SIX innings.
