In the Wake of ItuIy's Left Trend

were the strikes in the vital
industrial centers in North
ern Italy at the Fiat, Mon
tecattini and other plants,
the heart of Italian indus
trial production for domestic
consumption and exports.
These were accompanied by
violence. AS these lines are
written a general strike has
been proclaimed at Genoa for
the absurd reason that a
criminal court in that city
had sent to jail about IS
hoodlumS who had resisted
arrest and cracked the heads
of several policemen during
an allie ged anti fasciSt"
demonstration last spring.
The majority of the Italian
strikes have now a political
undertone and are promoted.
according to investigators. by
the Communists. who domi-
nate the Italian labor unions.
The Italian Communists are
of a particular brand. So
long as Italy had a middle
of-the-road government they
remained inactive: the lead
ership did not expect any
drastic political chs ngeS.
Moreover, it realized that the
rank and file of the union
members would not follow
them in political strikes. Now,
with a left-of center admin
iStration, the Communists
have taken new strength, and
the workers have become
more obedient.
In the meantime, the pres
sure on Prime Minister Fam
FAM from his new support
ers for more rapid and great
er social change" is mount
ing. While the main objec-
tive of the new government
is to nationalize electric
power only. his extremist
supporters are now insisting
on more embracing measures.
All this adds up to the con-
Germ that the next months
may witness a return to
street fighting and general
strikes.

ROME. The atmosphere
in political quarters in Rome
IS uneasy. There is concern
over the possibility of street
troubles" next fall. This,
observers conversant with
italian politics say, is due
to the transition from a
middle-of-the-road govern
ment to one left of center
without demand from the
people themselves.
When this reporter ar
rived in Italy a year ago,
there was a peaceful atmo-
sphere throughout the coun-
try. Trere were no Gripping
or harasSing strikes, and
politicians were playing their
game with no more bitterness
than Americans would dis
play in a golf tournament.
The country was moving up
wards and showed the great
est economic growth in Eu-
rope more than 6la per
cent?. Social progress was
steady, although many in
justices still existed. Wages
were moving up and the
people, who 10 years previous
could barely afford bicycles
or scooters. were now driving
automobiles.
Premier Fanfani, toying
with the idea that the Chris
tan DemocratS-hiS party
had been too long in power
on the same platform of
economic growth" thought
it inadvisable to change the
formula. Last summer he
made a visit to Moscow and
then to Washington. After
these visits he became con-
WINGED that the time had
come to speed up Italy'S
social progress.

there is, of course, co-opera-

He also asked me if a great

in Japan had not formerly
been in China. I told him
that many were and that 1,
as the son of missionaries in
China, had come out of China
as a refugee in 1886. He re-
vealed knowledge, Surpris-
ing to me, of missionaries
and their postwar problems.
This was about all. He was
quiet, courteous. and very
much the plain, poised coun-

block of Lang place N. E., soon
will be transferred from St.
Elizabeth's Hospital to District
Jail as mentally competent for

Bray's lawyer. John A. Nc
Quinn, asked the appellate
court, following the earlier
opinion in the case, to go
ahead and dismiss the charge
against his client regardless of
whether or not he is competent
to take part in the hearing on
his confession since Bray will
be released from custody soon,

But the appellate court said
that orderly process" should

Data Asked
On Felony
Dispositions

Renewed Capitol Hill concern
about crime in Washington
yesterday prompted former
Commissioner Robert F. Nc.
Laughlin to call for a study tC
determine what happens to
felony cases after police make
arrests.
He noted that Representa-
tive Becker, Republican of New
York, blamed court leniency fol
making Washington a jungle. >
Mr.. Becker made the charge
after his secretary was knifec
in church.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said that fol
lack of a clear-cut study trac.
ing the cases, there was no Way
of pinpointing whether the
problem after arrest lay in fail
ure to indict, or failure to dea
with the cases adequately afte
indictment.
Now president of the Citi
zens Crime Commission of Met
ropolitan Washington, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin first asked the com
mission to make the stud!
when he was president of the
Board of Commissioners.
The Senate last year APP
proved the inclusion of $4,000
in the police appropriation fol-
the crime commission to make
the study, but the item was
killed in conference. Since then
the crime commission has been
looking for ways to finance the
investigation.
The crime commissions exec
utive committee plans to meet
next Thursday to determine
what it can do to raise funds
to have the study made.
What we need to know be-
fore we can determine where
the failure lies is why there
are so many arrests and so few
convictions" Mr.. Mclaughlin
said. Our concern is what we
don't know rather than what
we do. We believe the time
has come to work from facts
rather than theory and to de-
termine once and for all what
happens between arrest and
disposition of the cases"

Famed Novelist on Americas Southland
Respected, Though He Puzzled Some
RALPH McGILL

KYOTO, Japan.-WilIiam
Faulkner'S death was a topic
for japanese intellectuals. A
few critics wrote about him.
The quiet. shy, country gen.
tleman from Oxford. Miss,
puzzled them as he did many
Americans. The doings of the
white-traSh Snopeses. and
the folkwayS of the MisSis-
sippi-South, are a part OF
America quite Incompetent
sible to the Japanese as. in
deed, they are to many
Americans.
Much Of what Faulkner
wrote was in a sort of YER
nacular. Many of his sem
fences were long and in
volved. 1t literally was i'm
possible to put the real flavor
of Yoknapatawpha county
into the hundreds of charac-
tiers which make up the Jap
anese language. He was pub
liShed in Japan. He had a
following. But it was con-
fined to the campuses and
the lntellectuals of city and
town.
Father Lloyd R. Craighill,
jr., an Episcopal mission
priest and teacher in Kyoto
and at St. Andrews Univer-
Sity in Osaka, contributed a
personal experience with
Faulkner in Japan. For all
his reticence, Faulkner had
an old-fashioned, wholly adj
mirable sense of responsible
ity toward his country. De-
spite his dislike of public
appearances, he bowed to the
urgings of the State Depart
ment and made himself
available for cultural ex-
change programs. He ap-

Republicans now control the
Senate, 1910, with one seat
vacant. Under any reappor-
tionment based on straight
population they are virtually
certain to lose some seats.
Legal observers said that
since the Federal court won't
return from its summer recess
until October, probably the
earliest time the issue could
be decided is eight months from
now.

Three bills to reapportion

Representatives.
The bills - following plans
Endorsed by a Governors study
committee-were referred to

until Monday without taking
any other action on reappor-
tionment. Gov. Ebert N.

ported to have accepted Negroes
before.
Meanwhile, the Laymens
Leadership Conference. a group
of Seventh Day Adventist
Negroes, planned a mass meet
ing tomorrow they hope will
draw half of the some 5000
Negroes here for the world
meeting.
The one-year-old organiza-
ton intends to appeal to
church officers to end discrim-
ination it claims exists in Ad-
ventiSt churches, educational
facilities and office Staffs.
Frank L. Peterson. the
church's associate general Sec
rotary, answered that the Cen
eral Conference can not force
individual schools to take pupils
from other Conferences. He
pointed out that Adventist
schools are run by the many
individual Conferences and they
thus have a right to admit only
those who help pay for them.
Mr.. Peterson also acknowl-
edged at a news conference the
existence of separate Negro and
white Conferences throughout
the country which maintain
separate churches and schools.
But he explained that in most
cases the separate Conferences
resulted from requests by Ne
groeS.
Figuhr Reelected
In other business, the World
Conference-now in the third
day of a To-day SeSSion-re-
elected Mr.. Figuhr, of Wash
ington, D. c., to his third
straight four-year term as
president.
The Christian church is
being weakened in meeting the
world crisis by the reluctance
of churchmen in coming to
grips with biblical doctrine, a
Washington religious news edi-
tor said at last nights confer
ence meeting at the Cow Pal
ace.
The editor, DR.. Francis d.
Nichol, said the second coming
of Christ, as a doctrine, is vital
to the church which has been
weakened "by the spirit of the
modern scientific age which is
against the very idea of a cata-
clysmic, supernatural event."
DR.. Nichol is editor of the
Review and Herald, official
Adventist church paper.
He declared the authority of
the Bible itself has been weak
ened by the "capitulation" of
leading churchmen to the evo-
lutionary theory of mans orr
gin.
THE strained attempts of
churchmen to harmonic the
Bible and evolution have only
made painfully apparent this
undermining process" he said.

since the dormitory opened in
