yesterday that “whoever
dared raise a hand” against
he Eternal City “would be
guilty of matricide."
“If the Germans choose to de-
fend Rome the allies will be ob-
ligated to take appropriate mili-
tary measures to eject them,” the
U. S.-British announcement said.
“It therefore is the sincere hope
of His Majesty’s government and
the United States government
that the enemy will not make
such an ill-considered choice.”
The Berlin radio quoted a Ger-
man foreign office spokesman as
making this statement in con-
nection with the pope’s plea that
Rome be spared from destruc-
tion:
. “On the German side every-
thing has been done for months
to preserve Rome from such a
fate. Rome today can be regard-
ed as a city free from armed
forces.”
Nazis Resist Bitterly
Today's communique disclosed
the Germans were resisting bit-
terly in the Alban hills defense
line below Rome. “Although the
towns of Velletri and Valmon-
tone have now been taken by
troops of the Fifth army after
heavy fighting, the enemy de-
fense positions in this sector have
not yet been broken,” the com-
munique‘’said. “The penetration
into the enemy’s position north
of Velletri has however been en-
larged. The enemy’s defenses
are in considerable depth and
firm resistance is being encoun-
tered.”

Congress May Quit
Work in Two Weeks
.WASHINGTON, June 3 (P) —
Prospects that congress will re-
cess in two weeks for the conven-
tions brightened today as the
house banking committee, unani-
mously approving a year's exten-
sion of wartime price control,
avoided another legislative battle
on the issue of - outlawing con-
sumer food subsidies.
The committee compromised
the question by saying the pres-
ent subsidies on meat, butter and
flour may continue, but prohib-
ited consumer price aid on any
other food items.
One major issue, embodied in
a move led by Senator Bankhead

The U. S. and British governments put on the nazis to-

Broadening of
War Contracts |
Probe Is Asked
Would Demand Firms’
Names Whose Contracts
May Be Terminated Soon
WASHINGTON, June 3LThe
Truman committee was asked to-
day to broaden its probe of war
production contracts by demand-
ing that the army and navy pro-
duce the names of all companies
whose agreements with the mili-
tary forces may be terminated or.
cut-back in the next six months.
Senator Ferguson (R-Mich), a
member of the Truman group,
made the request following the
navy’s cancellation of fighter
plane contracts with the Brew-
ster Aeronautical corporation.
Ferguson said he had asked
committee counsel to obtain the
lists of plants and for details of
the service departments’ i plans
for releasing factories to other
war output or to civilian produc-
tion.
Chairman Truman (D-Mo) of
the committee said termination
of the navy contracts with Brew-
ster plants at Long Island City,
N. Y., and Johnsville, Pai, was
made “with practically no no-
tice” to thousands of employes.
This type of abrupt cancellation,
he added, threatened the orderly
reconversion of war factories to
civilian work.
G. 1. Tax Loophole?
From Senator George (D-Ga)
chairman of the powerful senate
finance committee, came a sug-
gestion that might mean another
break for men and women in
uniform. George thinks they
should be allowed to claim ex-
emption from the stiff night club
tax merely by signing their
names and service serial num-
bers on the bills. The problem
Came up in a measure to cut the
cabaret levy from 30 to 20 per
cent—and to raise the public
debt limit from $210,000,000,000
to $260,000,000,000.
Convention Recess Looms
It looks like a sound guess that
congress will knock off work in a
couple of weeks until after the
Democratic and Republican Na-
tional conventions in Chicago.
Most of the legislators are sched-
uled to attend the political con-
claves—and the house banking
committee has helped their plans
along by approving a one-year
extension of price control and
avoiding a congressional battle
over food subsidies.

It is upon these two sets of

“When this movement for an
uninstructed delegation started, a
small group of us feared that it

feared that it would serve as a

trying to raise in Texas the

Stop-Dewey Move
Takes on New Life
In Ranks of GOP
Indiana Convention
Refuses to Pledge Its
Delegates to New Yorker
By The Associated Press
A last-ditch stop-Dewey move-
ment apparently had taken on
new life in the Republican party
today as a result of the action of
Indiana’s GOP convention in
shouting down yesterday a pro-
posal to pledge the state’s 29
votes to Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
for the presidential nomination.
Opponents acclaimed the In-
diana setback as the beginning
of a shift they believe may pre-
vent a first ballot nomination.
With 64 votes previously pledged
and claimed for their candidate,
backers of Gov. John W. Bricker,
of Ohio, hailed the Indiana re-
sults as a sweeping victory.
Dewey supporters came out of
the convention with a minimum
of two delegates to boost his
pledged and claimed total to 390.
In addition, they claimed the
support of six others.
