Plan To Split Colonies Of Italy Fails
In the UN General Assembly the Bevin Sforza plan to divide Italy’s prewar colonies collapsed amid Latin American revolt and criticism as a bid to expand Anglo American influence. The 14 to 37 vote rejected the compromise allocating Libia autonomy after 10 years under trusteeship, Italian Somaliland, Fezzan, Cirenaica, and Tripolitania. The session adjourned to resume talks in September amid a 59-nation split over postwar colonial administration. A second brief item notes Fremont police Sgt Joseph McCreery will retire June 1 after 20 years on the force.
