ROME, May 2—The dispute over Italy's former colonies is dividing the government here and straining the new alliance of Italy and the western powers. Unless an acceptable compromise is found soon, or there is

tlefpent, with Britain continuing interim occupation if the colonies, Mediterranean security will suffer. > Irreconcilable national interests leave only one ideal solution. That is United Nations collective trusteeship for development and eventual self - government, as originally favored by Washing-@§ Ke y ton. But Soviet aggression makes Denny that impossible now. Mr. ’ The emergency problem is to provide maximum western security without at the same time undermining that security by driving Italians or Arabs, or both, toward Russia. i Stalin's tactics shift but his aim remains the same. When he failed to get Tripolitania and also Red Sea control. he demanded return of the colonies to Italy which then seemed to be going Communist. When he lost the Italian election he insisted on joint United Nations trusteeship, which he could capture or sabotage. This Soviet maneuver may be blocked.

Danger Is Acute

BUT WESTERN failure to get 'a United Nations settlement providing Atlantic power bases, with-

* out alienating Italy or the Arab states, would

play into Stalin's hands. This danger is acute because of the Arabs’ anti-American reaction to

* the Palestine situation.

In Italy, the risk is in giving a weakening Communism a new popular issue, while splitting the democratic coalition forces whose unity so far has prevented Red dictatorship here. ! Already the left wing of the majority Christian Democratic (Catholic) Party has joined others in attacking the conciliatory policy of Foreign Minister Sforza. There is no public understanding that Stalin’s world threat is a determining factor in allied African policy, or should be. Instead, reviving Italian nationalism makes Britain the goat. Also America, which is accused of pulling unarmed Italy into exposed membership in the Atlantic” Alliance, and then welching on the implied bargain of giving back her colonies, Premier de Gasperi and most of his cabinet have not succumbed to this feelihg. Nevertheless, they believe Italy as a full member of the western alliance should share directly in control of most

Mr. De Gasperi reecntly put out a feeler for threefold Libyan trusteeshi naica to Brit-

ain, Fezzan to France and Tripolitania to Italy— : a with joint Italian-Ethiopian control of Eritrea,’ and Italian administration of Somaliland as al- : . ready agreed by the western powers. : 0

This compromise would let Britain keep her Cyrenaica bases and her promise not to return the natives to Roman rule. It would permit U, S8leased bases in Tripolitania. And it would meet

But unless some such compromise is accepted! quickly, Mr. De Gasper! may be forced by political | expedience into a less reasonable policy.

APART from the inherent difficulties of the’ problem, too clever Italian diplomacy and Amer-, ican indecision have made matters worse—despite the good intentions of both governments. { Rome has based its claim on vulnerable arguments as to its civilizing mission in Africa and its economic dependence on the colonies. Opponents retort that many Africans like Italians as neighbors but not as rulers. Though Italy’s overpopulation problem is desperate, even Mussolini's grandiose plan put only 200,000 of the two million] excess persons into the three colonies. The excess is now growing at the rate of half a million a year. . Italy lacks the capital for large-scale colonization. Italians would have a better chance under any other” democratic administrator which could, provide capital. Meanwhile any investment funds Italy can accumulate are needed to provide more; | farms and factory jobs in her own under-developed country and her island of Sardinia. The colonies always were a financial drain on Italy—as on Britain now. Italy also lacks the power to protect them. She can contribute her labor and her experience effectively only in close co-operation with richer and stronger allies. ! But Italy has an undeniable right to democratic survival. Political security at home and military security of the Mediterranean require hat she share international privileges and obligations, If, the Italian and western governments can place the| issue on this realistic and legitimate ground, there; is chance of a fair compromise before the situa : tion here and in Africa gets out of hand. i

NEW YORK, May 2—I buy my first television set the day Jimmy Durante starts a regular program on it. That is the day when the men will have been cut out from the boys; when the video industry can call itself mature. Mr. Durante’s noble nose and maniac eye will have no truck with the medium for another year or so. James is waiting for television to grow up to fit his face. Television has an odd habit of shortening the legs of its performers, Mr. Durante is not a man to take chances with his nose. I will not attempt to reproduce any Durante conversation for you, since it never has been done correctly and never will be. Mr, Durante’s quotes are useless unless uttered by the master himself, because his fine moral indignation, the wildly rolled eye, the outraged squawk and the fretful, panther pace are all necessary to a Durante delivery. * But I had the rare good fortune to observe two hours of unrehearsed Durante in his hotel room the other afternoon. James, fresh up from a nap, was busy. He was eating cofnflake§ with bananas, answering telephones, and talking. He was wearing an old bathrobe and a/pair of shorts, socks and shoes. : Mr. Durante prowled his suite, speaking nervously over his shoulder, slapping his thigh and being constantly indignant. It was a performance that could run 99 years on television—once- that mysterious thing Jimmy calls a “coactrical cable” is laid from one side of the country to the other.

He Needs No Makeup

MR. DURANTE actually was created for television. He needs no makeup, for no retouch artist can improve on the features God humorously bequeathed him. He needs no script, really—an unrehearsed Durante on. any subject is better entertainment than anything the contrivers can sweat from a conference. It is impossible to go stale on Durante. He never tells the same story the same way, and he has been plowing the same furrow for 14 years. Nobody ever yawned at him yet. Mr, Durante’s single trade trick is frustration,

tive, less confining than nursing. serving her internship.

but it is frustration with a peculiar codicil. Mr. Durante busts loose and lets go at what bothers him, as opposed to you and me, who sit silently and take it. All the world frustrates Durante—| telephones, people whose names he can’t rememthe English language—but Durante won't stand for it. It's desplickable. James has a deepseated enmity toward the piano, which he was forced to play, for food, for years. When he tears up a piano today he gets) even with the infernal machine for every tortured; child who had to practice on the keyboard when a | lusty game of baseball was going on outside.

WASHINGTON, May 2—I had to agree with the gentlewoman, who strolled outside for a little relief from the boos, catcalls, yelpings, howls, and insults of her fellow lawgivers. : She sighed. “Men,” she said. “If women acted like that, or children, they'd sav this country was being governed by emotions instead of reason. But, no. These are big, he-men in there, performing. And nobody says anything.” The lady was right. I'd like to identify her, but she does—after all—have to get along with the red-faced shouters who sit on aH sides of her in the House of Representatives. The gentlemen, who drove her out to the fresh air with their snarling, had up the bill to repeal the Taft-Hartley Labor Act, plus an amendment by Rep. John S. Wood, a Democrat of Georgia, which would change the name, but not the contents. Numerous other Democrats charged that he didn’t write it, but that the Republicans did. Rep. Charlie Halleck of Indiana, the Republican chief, said this was a canard of the lowest kind. “Smear tactics,” he roared. - “Boo,” roaréd ‘baek.the Democrats. Above this ungentiemanly raspberry, Mr. Halleck shouted his defense of the highmindedness of the Republicans and at the top of his lungs he cried: “Now that's the story. What do you

_want to make of it?”

Result Was Pandemonium A NUMBER of Democrats wanted to make plenty of it. By now’ the chairman was banging his gavel, all hands either were booing, demanding the right to make speeches, or making ‘em without asking pérmission. The result was what you might call pandemonium. The lady in the center shut her eyes; she would have put her fingers in her ears if it hadn't been undignified. And still the gentlemen battled. Democratic leadership tried to limit debate and
