Anti Communist Coalition Wins Big in Italy Election
A U S and Soviet observers watched a two to one anti Communist landslide in Italy as Christian Democrats Repub Means and Social Unity achieved broad gains. The result may shape European policy with economic aid and Trieste issues influencing the outcome. John L Lewis faced contempt of court for defying a coal strike order, fined 20000 dollars personally and 1.4 million dollars for the United Mine Workers. The 1946 precedent and Taft Hartley penalties loom as government considerations hold back a jail term.

Bradley Warns Greenlands Invasion Risk If War Breaks Out
General Omar Bradley told the House Armed Services Committee that in a new war the U S must occupy Greenland Iceland Spitzbergen and the Azores or risk devastating air attacks on population centers He warned the army would be unable to act decisively without draft and UNIT support.

War Department notes defense focus not offense in new stance
Washington observers describe a shift toward defense and readiness eight years after a peacetime citizen army idea. Officials warn costs of potential conflict would be far higher than current peacetime needs, while stressing no push for preventive war and skepticism about Russia’s aims.
