PRESIDE TRUMAN’S PLEDGES President Truman apparently is adopting the unique policy of not forgetting campaign pledges. The other day he stuck his neck out regarding the Fair Employment Practices Act (despite its unpopu-! larity in the South) by urging the Rules Committee to report the bill out and let Congress vote on it. Following this, he had an inter- (esting conversation with Generoso Pope, Ttalian-American publisher in| New York. Pope had come to ask that American policy in Ttaly give .Inore encouragement to dcmucmlic‘r and not let the Italian peo- ple be subject to the British pol- icy of restoring the monarchy or the Russian policy of Communism, Pope pointed out that one of the best ways of preventing these po- litical extremes was to help the Italian people out in their desper- ate plight, and to let them have some of the food and supplies or- iginally imported for the U. S. and Allied armies, but now surplus. After listening carefully, Presi- dent Truman told Pope: “I made a speech about that in the last campaign.
