The disclosure came as American officials hailed the outcome of the Italian eléctions as a severe blow to Russian prestige and to international communism. Note of Caution But diplomatic authorities tempered the optimism with a note of caution. They said Communist fomented trouble is still possible in Italy, particularly before a new government can be formed. And concern was expressed that Moscow, along with Italian Communists, may raise the shout that the elections were “a fraud and a steal” Chairman Styles ‘Bridges (R. N. H.) of the Senate Appropriations Committee, who backed “Project X” in Congress, declined to discuss details of its operations In Italy. He said such disclosures would weaken what he called American efforts to '“‘undermine Communist tyranny in areas already conquered.” Funds for the program were drawn, with consent of key cone gressional officials, from special “contingent funds” written into departmental appropriations. Mr. Bridges indicated more money for this purpose might be forthcoming, perhaps in granting European Recovery Program funds,

‘Some GOP Senators ‘Back AEC Nominees

Influential GOP Senators favor confirmation of new terms for President Truman's Atomic Energy Commissioners, despite their desire to keep long-term government positions open until after the elections. They are said to-feel that failure to approve these particular nominations might hurt the atomic program. Mr, Truman has reappointed Chairman David BE. Lilienthal and four other commissioners to terms ranging from one to five, years, hut they must be okayed by the Senate.

Hope of GOP Dim

On Revision of Taxes ' Republican leaders in the House conceded they won't be able to make as many changes in the tax system as they had hoped to. The new defense program, they said, has virtually ruled out the possibility of further large-scale tax cuts, However, Chairman Harold Knutson (R. Minn.) of the Ways and Means Committee held out the chance that taxes on telephone calls and telegraph messages may be reduced.

Return to Class

REDKBY, Ind.

Many of the students paraded around the school building yesterday, carrying placards stating that “We want Lemming.” Hiatt said the “rumors ad circulated” that the school's senior class of some 20 students would be unable to take their annual sightseeing trip to the eastern part of the country.

Urges ‘Break’ for Ex-Husbands

TO “LONELY FIRST WIFE”—Did you ever stop to think that “QOutroged Second Wife,” objecting to support, might have reason to complain? I've a son by my first marriage and received support until I remarried. Now we have a daughter. I think when a man marries a woman he should be able to take the responsibilities of that woman and her children. It is only fair to give an ex-husband a chance to raise a family too without financial wories.- What do you think? MRS, F.L. M. I think most men want to support their children and I hope that the ex-wives accept the support for the good of the children, not in revenge.

YOU'RE GOING to be shocked to hear this—but I haven't a single family problem, I have one of another nature.
