Italian King Told He Blocks Unity
Marshal Pietro Badoglio told King Vittorio Emanuele that a representative government cannot be formed while the King remains on the throne. In Naples he met with Count Carlo Sforza and philosopher Benedetto Croce, who advised a regent for the Prince of Naples but rejected Umberto or the Duke of Aosta.

Disbarment Of Aurelio Dismissed
A four judge court dismissed disbarment charges against Thomas A Aurelio and upheld a referee report that he did not know the man aiding his state Supreme Court nomination was of bad character. The ruling leaves Aurelio’s bid for a 14 year bench term with a $22500 salary to Manhattan and the Bronx voters in today’s election. The decision ends five weeks of controversy sparked by district attorney Hogan who linked the nomination to Frank Costello the slot machine racketeer. Democrats and Republicans endorsed the nomination as a bi partisan measure but failed to remove his name from the ballot and each party backs a substitute candidate.
