Demonstrations In
Italy Against High
Living Costs

~ * •
ROME, (/P)—Communists join
ed with other leftist groups Sat
urday in striking at Premier Al
eide de Gasperi’s Christian Demo
crate (Catholic) government with
nationwide rallies against the sky
rocketing cost of living in Italy.
Up to mid-afternoon no violence
was reported in the mass demon
strations, which de Gasperi’s min-;
ister of interior said were aimed!
at the overthrow of the govern
ment.
Workers in Rome were sum
moned to a mass meeting in the
Piazza del Popolo to hear address
es by orators of five leftist parties.
Buildings were plastered with j
anti-government slogans. A red
painted plane circled the city, ■
dumping thousands of leaflets.
Demonstrators were summoned,
by the Communist, Socialist and
Republican parties to march into1
public squares of cities through
out Italy to protest price rises
which have doubled the cost of
some foods since January.
The demonstration followed a
week of strikes for higher pay and
came on the week-end before ex
i
pected constituent assembly action
on a leftist demand for a vote of
no-confidence in de Gasperi’s gov
ernment.
Minister of the interior Mario
Scelba told reporters Friday the
demonstration was "aimed above
, all at the overthrow of the gov
ernment and the return to power
of the Communists and Socialists."

The Ordnance basketball team
won their first practice game over
the Signal Det. by the downhiP
score of 39-22. The return game
was a different story, but the
boys were in there slugging and
made a fine showing. The players
on the team are Kucera, Jurca,
Ammerman, Saver, Meyer and
Bird. It certainly is surprising
what you can pick up on a little
week-end trip up the Kougarok;
tracks, isn’t it Erick?
Twelve of the enlisted men of I
the Det. 10th Resc. Sq. took ad
vantage of the offer of the Special
Services, by securing transporta-,
tion for their overnight trip to
Safety Lagoon. It was an oppor
tunity not to be overlooked, and
was greatly appreciated by the
men, who had a fine time. Hunt
ing and fishing were enjoyed and
most of the men had, “fishermen’s
luck.” The Det. welcomes the ad
dition of S/Sgt. Sidney Gash,
S/Sgt. Glenn Stephenson and Pvt.
James H. Newman.
Pfc. Willema, the bus driver
from Signal, is a regular old air
plane builder. With the mail this
week, he has received two planes.
He started to work on one of them
last night and has the wing built,
already. We hope that he finishes;
making them before he leaves i
here, which won’t be for quite aj
while vet.

Braving the Alaskan sunshine
that fell by the bucketsful, Cpl.1
Noonan and Pfcs. Norris, Porter,
Holguin, and Buttopietro of Hq. |
Det., boarded the narrow gauge
and headed for the hills over the j
recent week-end. From all we hear
they had a most enjoyable time, j
Besides the pioneer spirit, there,
are those in the detachment who
have a great thrist for knowledge.
Pfc. Jack Stringer is a good exam- !
pie. He is attending Nonr)e High:
School one period a day. His sub-1
ject is Second Course Algebra.
The AACS barracks has a cou-1
pie of talented modelers. Hubert.
Borys, and Maine all have a kit j
that they are tinkering with. Old
pioneer Cormier took off for a
stay in the hills and he is going to
be joined later by Whitehead, an
other rugged individual. We spent
an afternoon out at the range
shooting out “Chicago Pianos.”
On the sidelines Gilbert was seen
shooting from the hip. gang-land
style.
The 761st MP. Det. is very for
tunate in having Cpl. James Wea
therall in the outfit who is a judge
of feminine beauty. His girl friend
back home won the title “Miss '
Nome Air Base” in the recent con
test held here on the base and he.
as a reward, got to talk to her by
telephone. The current war be
tween the north and south in the
PM office has recently subsided [
due to a change in office loca
tions. Hostilities will soon be re
sumed just as quickly as both
sides can get settled and the Ma
son-Dixon line is relocated again.

NEW YORK—(Soundphoto)—Three women strikers form a liv
ing barricade as they chain themselves with handcuffs across the en
trance of the struck Brooklyn Trust company in Brooklyn. Patrons
had to duck under the girls’ arms to enter or leave the bank. After
a half hour of this siege a bank guard appeared with a hacksaw to
cut the girls loose.
Plane Makes China
With 1 Engine Dead
SHANGHAI, (/Pi — One engine
of a Northwest Airlines plane en
route from Toyko to Shanghai
conked out 200 miles from the
China coast today and the plane
completed the trip on three en
gines at 500-foot altitude, a pas
senger reported.
E. J. Griffith of Portland, Ore.,
said the pilot reduced altitude for
fear that a short circuit which
killed the engine would force
“ditching” at sea. but the crippled
plane came in without mishap.
Omaha Apoligizes
For Traffic Fine
OMAHA, t/P) — Norman D.
Graves of Kearney, Neb., put the
City of Omaha on the spot.
On the back of a check remitted
for a $1.50 traffic fine, Graves
wrote a 103-word apology for “the
great mental anguish suffered by
a business visitor ...” By en
dorsing the check, the city would
have to sign the apology. The city
clerk decided to subordinate the
city’s pride and endorse the check,
apology included.

Peru Plane Crash
LIMA, Peru »/Pi—A plane crash
ed two miles off San Juan Friday,
killing at least eight persons.
Dispatches from the vicinity
said the body of a United States
army sergeant Harry Boerel, had
been washed ashore, and that a
woman believed to be his fiancee
also had been found dead. Others
aboard the plane were identified
as Bolivian officers en route to
the United States. The U. S. em
bassy said the plane was Bolivian
and not American.
Maybe It's Even
The Real O'Steen
ALAMOSA, Colo. (/P) — When
the American Legion was collect
ing hunting knives to send to sol
diers in the South Pacific for jun
gle fighting Robert E. Thalmann
of Alamosa donated a fine blade.
Recently he received a letter
from S/Sgt. W. D. O'Sheen, who
said the knife had been issued to
him in the South Pacific.
In World War I Thalmann had
a buddy in France and his name
was W. D. O’Sheen. He's trying to
find out if the sergeant is the son
of the World War No. I soldier.
