Coll Gleb* 4014 Arlington Woodworking Manufacturing Doors Exclusiraly Soviet to Get 37 Ships From Italy, Including Battleship, truiser By th« Associated Frost Russia is scheduled to receive the 23,000-ton battleship Giulio Cesare. the cruiser - Duca D'Aosta and 37 other craft as its share of the navy of defeated Italy. This was learned definitely yes terday after months of speculation, particularly in Rome, had strongly indicated that such a division of the vanquished fleet had been agreed on by the wartime allies. The details still remain officially secret, however, and State Depart ment Press Officer Michael J Mc Dermott said that he had no official comment on reports of the assign ment of ships to Russia, although it has been generally known that about one third of the Italian navy would go to the Soviets. As a part of this arrangement, Russia agreed in a three-power pact signed at Paris last February 10 and made public in April that the cruisei Milwaukee, which was leaned to hei during the war by the United Stater and about a dozen British vessels would be returned to their owners at the time of transfer to the Italian vessels. So far as was known here yester day, details of the transfer are still being worked out by a four-powei naval commission—American, Brit ish, French and Russian—with headquarters in Rome. The United States last Octobei renounced its claims to any Italian naval vessels, declaring that the ships which were assigned to II should be scrapped and the metal used in Italian recovery. Part of the Italian navy was left to Italy under the peace treaty which became effective last year Of the part taken away the vessel: were to be divided among the three great powers and France and Yugo slavia. Ships Are Listed. Greatest interest had centered on the ships which would go to Russia These are: The 23,000 ton Giuio Cesare, which was built in 1011, modernized before the last war and armed with ten 12.6>inch guns; the 7,000-ton Dues d'Acosta, armed with 6-lnch guns; uucc uTOuuvcia, uic fuuiicic, uic Mltragliere and the Augusto Riboty; two torpedo boats, Animoso and Ardimentoso; two submarines, Nich elio and Marea, and 30 miscellaneoUi auxiliary units designated in the peace treaty as ‘‘minor war vessels.” The Italian peace treaty specified the ships to be taken away from Italy and those to be l$ft and the lists were published a year or more ago. Subsequently ' the four powers signed the protocal creating the four-power naval coai.nission at Rome and secretly providing for the assignment of the ships to be taken from Italy. There never has been any offlcial explanation as to why this list of vessels was kept secret. Reds' 'Harsh' Interpretation Of Treaty Hit by Italian fty lK» Associated Press ROME, Jan. 17.—A high diplo matic source declared today Russia is seeking “illegal, punitive and harsh interpretations” of naval clauses in the Italian peace treaty. British and American refusal te accede to the Russian demands foi "costly, fancy refitting” of Italian warships to be delivered to Russia under the treaty has bogged down the operations of a four-power com GAS WATER HEATERS # Plenty of hot water for the entire family!

DUpont 0453 V.,' ./I ,, .1 r Credit, wisely used, is a good business tonic. With lifting on November 1, 1947, of Government Regulation W, which limited credit, experienced "business men and economists pointed out the inflationary dangers of indiscriminate credit. We believe that the credit function, well used, is on aid to both buyer and seller. But credit should only be on aid, not an artificial stimulation to business. We believe merchandise should be sold on its own merits. , We are glad to extend credit to customers needing it. We do NOT thrust unwanted, easy credit on undecided customers with resultant credit losses which must later be reflected in higher selling cost of other merchandise. We do NOT encourage imprudent credit policies to move unwanted merchandise at exorbitant cost. We recommend banks, credit unions and similar financial institutions when credit is needed. ■ Briefly, to each of our customers we try to exemplify our objective. "FINER THINGS FOR MORE PEOPLE FOR LESS." That objective includes the sensible use of credit. It does NOT include injudicious credit as a high pressure method of selling undesirable merchandise at profiteering prices. Unwise credit and large credit losses are always INFLATIONARY. But we always have DEFLATION at MARS, both as to prices and the proper use of credit. Buy what you need. Use your credit. Do both wisely. Thus intelligent Americans will be fighting inflation.

The folder is entitled “Plans for Metropolitan Washington” and is the work of a trade board city plan ning subcommittee headed by George Titus. The folder illustrates principal features of development plans being drafted by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, Arlington County Planning Com mission, Fairfax County Planning Ccmmission and Alexandria plan ning Commission. A series of 11 maps in red and black plus brief captions cover the “big 5” of city planning in the Washington area—Federal building locations, parks, highways, airports and aoning. The last is shown only where new and definite proposals have been developed; hence only a fraction of an area where most new aoning plans are not yet on paper is covered.
