Pravda, saying that if the American forces now in Austria are reassigned to Italy - that could create a ~ dangerous situation for the Italians. The note handed out by the Scelba government, retorts that the Pravda attack is "offensive propaganda." The Italians repeat that they intend to stand with the West no matter what happens - meaning that Italy does not intend to be drawn into a "neutral zone" in the fashion of Austria. The Italian note does agree~ with Pravda on one point - that relatiorus between Russia and Italy are not satisfactory.

These paratroopers report that the rebels are well armed - and prepared for a long guerrilla war against the French.
