and McElwain, with three girls
living in the second and third
floor lounges, have good living
conditions. Beds and dressers

Truman Assures Italy
Of American Help
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25— (IP) —President Truman today re
affirmed American determination to continue helping Italy, as the
Big Three prepared to renounce publicly their right to limit the
size of Italian armed forces.
Both gestures were intended to bulwark the position of Italian
Prime Minister Alcide de Gasperi,
here on the second day of a
three-day - visit.
The President assured de Gas
peri in a 50-minute White House
conference that the United States
will “continue to assist Italy and
the other Allies in achieving eco
nomic and social stability and in
creasing their capacity for de
fense.”
Leaders Discuss Affairs
A communique announcing this
said the two government leaders
had discussed the full sweep of
Italian affairs. These include the
touchy status of Trieste, between
Italy and Yugoslavia, and Italian
requests for emigration rights.
The Big Three reportedly will
issue by tomorrow, U.S. time, a
declaration giving up {heir right
to police the size of Italy’s armed
forces, now limited by treaty to
300,000 men,' 350 planes and 132
naval ships.
Informants here said the tenta
tive plan is to release the declara
tion at 11 a.m., (EST) tomorrow.
Diplomatic sources in Paris re
ported, however, it would be pub
lished tomorrow morning, Euro
pean time, which would be some
time after midnight today (EST).
Move Decided Earlier
This move was decided early
this month by the foreign chief
tains of the United States, Great
Britain and France, meeting here.
It was reaffirmed at the recent
Ottawa conference.
The purpose is to permit Italy
to contribute more fully to West
ern Defense of the Mediterran
ean.
Removal of arms restrictions
was announced as a main reason
for de Gasperi’s visit to the
United States.
Russia is expected to protest
bitterly. Moscow’s opposition pre
vents any legal change in the
Italian Peace Treaty, but the re
nunciation of arms policing will
amount to the same thing. The
Big Three plan to approach the
other 16 s i g n ers of the treaty,
through diplomatic channels,
seeking their agreement.
