Revolution Faces
De Gasperi Govt.
ROME (A*) — Political disorders
spread to new areas of Italy yes
terday despite a declaration by
Premier Alcide de Gasperi that
rioting “with forecasts of revolu
tion" would not sway him from
his present middle-of-the-road
course.
De Gasperi, speaking before the
national congress of his Christian
Democratic party Monday night in
Naples, made a direct appeal to
the communists to stop their clam
oring so that Italy could be as
sured of financial help from the
United States.
Even as he spoke, however, his
government ordered “a strong col
umn of motorized carabinieri and
public security police" into the
southeastern province of Puglia to
put down new disorders and po
litical “agitation" raging in sever
al town there, the news agency
FIRE DEPARTMENT ANSWERS
TWO CALLS
Last night the fire department
was called out to the residence of
Emory Martin near First avenue
and Mettler Way. The fire started
from an overheated smokestack
and completely gutted the cabin.
No personal property could be
saved.
At nine o’clock this morning
the department was called to the
home of Miss Grabbe at 523 F;rst
avenue, when the stove became
overheated because of excessive
oil in the burner causing consider
able smoke. No fire damage was
reported.
Legal Blanks at The Nugget office
ANSA reported.
Such disorders in Italy’s public
squares, De Gasperi declares in
Naples, “will not make me desert
the position confided to me and
confirmed by the loyalty of the
Italian people.”

the people,” he said. “All our j
areas should be knit into a geo- i
graphical unit by giving Hawaii
and Alaska statehood and we
should give to our people those
things we are trying to give to all
the other peoples of the world.
“Alaska has been under our jur
isdiction for 80 years and the peo
ple up there are like the people in
our States, east, west< north, and
south. The Territory is the one
outstanding buffer state of the
world between Russia and the
United States first, and, secondly,
between Russia and the world be
cause of such movements in this j
country as the Truman doctrine
and the Marshall plan.”
Crawford said the United States
was “spending tens of millions of
dollars” in building army, navy
and air corps bases in Alaska with
great airfields without taking
steps to defend them. He continu
ed:
“We must provide defenses for
Alaska or otherwise how can we
be assured, in light of threatening
warnings given by by the admin
istration, that Russia will not ac
cept our invitation by reason of
lack of defenses, and occupy them
for use against us.”
Crawford reviewed the lack of
transportation to Alaska and said

Soviet Research
Spurs U. S. Navy.
WASHINGTON, l/P) — The
knowledge that Germany’s best
weapons are being developed by
Russia is one of the things which
has spurred the navy to a large
scale research program, Rear
Adm. A. G. Noble said today.
“The technological advances
made by the Germans as a result
of their research programs and
which resulted in their jet pro
pelled airplanes, their V-l and V-2
type missiles, and their greatly
improved new submarine types,
does not give us cause for com
placency,” Noble, chief of naval
ordnance, declared.
Territory has a Delegate, with no
vote*.
“That condition would not have
been tolerated a minute if the Ter
ritory had Representatives and
Senators in Congress,” Crawford
said.
“We no longer have any moral
or political reason to deny present
and future citizens of Alaska di
rect representation,” he said.
