KING SET TO LEAVE ROME ROME; (VP) a Monarchist leader charged yesterday there had been fraud In the plebiscite In -which Italy chose to be a republic, and demanded Allied review of balloting that doomed the reign of King Umberto II. Monarchist demonstrations, meanwhile, subsided yesterday after causing two deaths and a score of injuries in Naples, and rioting in Rome and Palermo. Federal police said the death toll was only two, and Minister of the Interior Giuseppe Romita declared the entire country was quiet Chief Justice Giuseppe Pagano disclosed Saturday afternoon late arrival of some returns delay over today the supreme certification of the election and appeared that the Italians would have to wait two or three days for formal proclamation of the republic.

There was a slender possibility that the high court might call for another plebiscite, but this was re- garded by political and judicial I circlts as highly unlikelv. A strong message from King Uif to to his followers in Naples them to refrain from public displays was credited with having helped pacify that southern stronghold of the Savoys. Umberto dispatched the message through royal Household Minister Falcone Luci-fero.

King Leaves Palace In an apparent move to discourage Rome demonstrators, the king left the uptown Quirinale palace, goal of Friday's marchers here, for a villa outside Rome to await the end of his brief reign. The delay of the provincial prefects In getting their returns to Rome served also to delay Umberto 's departure for Portugal to Join Queen Marie Jose and their four children In exile.

Stand on Atomic Energy. 12 NATIONS REPRESENTED NEW YORK UP) The atom bomb, potentially the most explosive issue in the world today, goes before the United Nations with convening Friday of the commission for control of atomic energy. Ordered by the UN general assembly to "proceed with the utmost dispatch," the commission seeks means to channel atomic energy to peaceful ends and eliminate all weapons adaptable to mass destruction.

Bernard M. Baruch. United States representative, will take the floor at the opening session to out line the atomic policy of his gov- emment. Baruch's talk, described by an adviser as one of the most im-1 portant ever delivered before a United Nations group, was still In- complete Saturday and the adviser indicated that last-minute consul- tations would be held with Presi dent Truman early this week. Gromyko To Sit In The initial meeting, scheduled for 11 a.

Twelve nations sit on the commission the United States. Great Britain. Russia, Egypt, the Netherlands, France, China, Mexico. Poland, Australia, Brazil and Canada. The first 11 are members of the security council and Canada was seated because of her hand in the development of atomic energy.

The commission will meet in the chamber used by the security council, with sessions open to the public.

A demonstration here, coinciding with London's Victory day celebration, was arranged by the Moslem Brotherhood to dramatize Egypt's protest of the delay in the evacuation of British troops from the country. Egyptian soldiers and police attempted to disperse the demonstrators.

Grenades were thrown from the crowd, injuring eight Egyptian soldiers and a civilian. Two grenade explosions near army barracks last night resulted in casualties listed as four British crlHifrs nnri seven Firvntinns hilt martial charges, and officials mentioned "looting" and "misappropriation" in discussing charges that might be involved in the case.

WASHINGTON (U.R) House con-i ferees last night promised a strong fight to retain in the final version of the draft extension bill a ban on inductions until next October 15 and a provision barring induction of teen-agers. Members of the seven-man hcuse conference group will try to out a draft extension bill before th present stop-gap legislation expire on June 30.

They said they would insist on the measure passed by the house last April. That would prohibit inductions of 18 and 19-year-olds and ban all inductions until October 15 to force the army and navy to do their utmost to meet requirements through voluntary recruitment. Four of the seven house conference committee members were in agreement to insist on the house version. A canvass of the seven senate conference committee members indicated that they would stand four to three for the senate bill. The group will begin deliberations some time this week.

Thus a deadlock was possible and the conference committee might have to report failure to reach an agreement. But most congressional sources predicted that compromises would be reached and a bill approved before the deadline. The stop-gap bill passed early hi May kept the act alive after May 15. But this law expires at midnight June 30. One compromise proposed is that the draft age start at 19 years, instead of 18.

Another would permit induction of 18-year-olds for domestic service, but prohibit their use as occupation troops. Chairman Andrew J. May. Ky.) of the house military committee said he would fight for the house version of the bill. But many members of congress report a strong sentiment throughout the country and among troops overseas to continue the drafting of 18-year-olds.

The senate bill would continue the selective service act to May 15. 1947; the house bill only to Feb. 15, 1947. Both would limit service of draftees to 18 months and would exempt fathers. Possibility of Tieup in AH Ports Seen Scuttled by Frisco Group's Action.

U. S. OFFERS HOURS PLAN WASHINGTON UP) The Immediate threat of an AFL seamen's strike blew over Saturday but a new government maneuver to stop CIO sailors from walking off ships June 15 began generating union opposition. The AFL Sailors Union of the Pacific halted a strike vote and began talking wage-hour issues with west coast shipowners. A spokesman for the owners reported "definite progress." That happened in San Francisco.

Apparently it scuttled a. possibility that both AFL and CIO seamen might be on strike simultaneously on all coasts by mid-June. Here in Washington, government conciliators stepped up efforts to dissolve the CIO end of the maritime crisis. They produced a plan to give sailors time off with pay-in port instead of a shorter work week at sea. To provide something definite for discussion, they suggested retention of the present 56-hour week at sea and a day off with pay for every 14 days afloat.

Doubt Plan Full Solution Neither the men who operate the ships nor those who man them showed any inclination to accept the plan as a complete solution to the issue of working hours the biggest barrier in the way of an agreement. They took no official, public stand. And negotiations continued. But union spokesmen said the proposal ignores their fundamental de-man, for a cut in the 56-hour week at sea. One said privately the strike would not be called off until there was some modification.

Assistant Secretary of Labor John W. Gibson told a news conference both sides in the dispute are giving "thorough discussion" to the plan for time off Vita pay In port. Additional conferences between mediators, operatorfnd union negotiators were set today.

Hans Bataan hero whose wife developed leprosy while in a Japanese prison camp, said yesterday they were both shocked to find she would have to live behind a steel wire fence and has lost her right to vote. He returned here after escorting his wife to the Carville, federal leprosarium.

"It's the most damnable thing I ever heard of," he said in an interview. "The state of Louisiana is treating these intelligent, good American people like so many criminals or insane." He said he and his wife both were in rebellion against the public attitude symbolized by the 15-foot steel wire fence and by the fact that all inmates of the institution except Mrs. Hornbostel have assumed false names so that their relatives outside would not be ostracized. "There's no fence at Culion or Molokai." he said, referring to the leper colonies in the Philippines and Hawaii. market, the OPA moved to hike prices about one cent a loaf in hopes of stimulating production.

A spokesman said an increase covering all but rye bread would be announced this week. Grocers have contended that disparate price ceilings have diverted most of the dwindling flour stocks into pastries. The OPA's own survey showed that bread shortages were "serious or acute" in three out of four reporting districts. The OPA was checking scattered reports of a black market in bread in the east, midwest and south. Lumber camp operators in Oregon said they may be forced to close their camps this month because of the bread and flour shortages.

Some Portland restaurants said they would close this week because of food Shortages. In downtown Pittsburgh, housewives stormed one store which boasted a "fair supply'' of meat.

Senate Gives Truman Free Hand on Budget WASHINGTON VP) The senate agreed yesterday to give the President a free hand in cutting appropriations to stay within an annual congressional budget.

Majority Leader Barkley got the provision put Into the congressional reorganization bill on a voice vote. He protested as "too restrictive" a section in the original bill requiring the President to make a horizontal cut in all appropriations if he finds the gap between government revenues and spending is greater than congress has approved. This was the only major decision reached during a six-hour session in which the whole measure came under attack. Senator Connally Tex.) shouted that "we ourselves are discrediting ourselves by telling the country we are running the senate in a slipshod way that we need somebody to come in and tell us what to do." Some senators said privately that they thought the bill "as good as dead." It will be the senate's order of business when work is resumed tomorrow, but Barkley is anxious to get on to consideration of OPA extension legislation. The Democratic leader passed the word that after two hours or so of additional debate on the reorganization bill he will move to take up OPA if no vote is in prospect.

Laying the reorganization measure aside likely would mean that the senate never would get back to it in the rush of winding up a session which leaders hope to end in mid-July.

Exiled Aral) Chief 'Escapes' From France PARIS (U.R) The pro-Nazi grand mufti or Jerusalem, Haj Ainin E3 Husseini, has secretly "escaped" from France, the French press agency reported last night, but officiais at the ministry of interior asserted there was nothing clandestine about his departure.

The press agency said officials started an inquiry to determine how the mufti, one of the most ruthless and ambitious of Arab politicians, had slipped out of the country. At the ministry, however, a spokesman said the mufti never had been under arrest and was free to come and go as he pleased. The news agency revealed no details other than that the mufti, an arch-conspirator and personal friend of Adolf Hitler, was headed for an unknown destination. This, political observers said, undoubtedly was the Middle East, probably Saudi Arabia or Palestine. Rumors of the mufti's reappearance in the Middle East through a negotiated "escape" have been recurrent for months.

His actual arrival there, observers said, might touch the match to the political tinder in Palestine. Haj Amin. although created "mufti" by a British high commissioner, is rabidly anti-British and anti-Jewish. To the Arab world. Haj Amin is an unparalleled political leader.

Thus the continuity of British foreign policy under the Labor government has been no surprise. Socialist speakers in Britain's 1945 general election campaign proclaimed with easy optimism that a Labor government would have closer ties with the Soviet Union. Today, buffeted by cold winds from Moscow, the party is mocked, but If Bevin believed it at all, he has held his I tongue. Russian Foreign Minister Molotov is said to dislike Bevin, but to re spect him The Briton cloak his personal feelings, but acknowledges Molotov an extraordinary personality and an astute diplomat. Difficulties of his task are well known to Bevin.

Tours Junk Yards So Mr. Baker, a man with a lame back, blistered hands, and an idea, toured junk yards, car lots and hardware stores and returned to his workshop with $75 worth of a tractor-to-be. The home-made Job was completed during the winter when Mr. Baker would put in a few hours work a couple of evenings each week.

Next he drew up plans for and constructed a metal framework to be attaached to the tractor front. Two cross bars were fitted to the frame. To the lead crossbar he attached the business end of two lawn mowers and three more were fitted to the second crossbar. The five mowers were staggered so that a six-foot swath would be cut, with nary a gra-ss blade being neglected. Mr.

Baker said that it would have been simpler to rig up a towed set of lawn mowers, but such an arrangement would have necessitated going over the same area twice. This would have been necessary to cut the grass that has been laid flat by the tractor wheels, which would rise up a short time after the mower had passed over it, he exn'ainrd. I'sed on Other Jobs Upon removing four bolts, the lawn mower contraption can be detached and the tractor is ready for other jobs. The powerful little machine uses a standard gear shift with a hand clutch with individual foot brakes to control the rear wheels. So the Baker lawn Is no longer a problem.

Bob needs no urging to climb into the tractor seat to mow the lawn, which he can do in about 90 minutes. "No more blistered hands, eh Bob?" Mr. Baker asked his son after a session on the tractor seat. "No Bob answered, "leastways not on my hands." VETERAN CROUPS UNITE TO SPEED LEGISLATION BAY CITY. Mich.

Many housewives complained that shopping for the dinner table had become an all-day ordeal. In most cities, they had no trouble finding pastries at the bakeries or lunch meats, chicken and fish at their meat markets. But few found fresh beef at ceiling prices and late shoppers found no bread. At San Francisco markets, meat was almost non-existent. Supplies at most stores gave out at 1 p.
