John O’Grady ‘of Washing- j ton, D. C,, who served on former }president Truman’s commission on immigration and naturalization last year, -declared in’ a prepared speech: “There is a great danger lest many Italians, on the basis of com- plete disillusionment in regard ‘to our immigration legislation, may vote for the Communists in the next election. x x x It is conceiv- able that by reason of «ur immi- gration legislation, Italy could go over to the Communists during the next few months.”” A general Italian election, the first since 1948, is scheduled this spring. The. present pro-Atlantic pact government faces a bitter ballot-box bid for power from the Communists, who claim two million party members in Italy, plus pow- erful pro-Communist Socialist al- j lies. O'Grady, speaking. at a meeting sponsored by the Italian Catholic migration committee, said “There is every evidence that the Commu- nists will make full use of the dis- crimination against Italians” in the MeCarran-Walter aci. The Washington monsignor said the McCarran act seemed to belie all the fine things America stands |for and caused universal rejoicing among Italian Communists, who realized it would prove a powerful propaganda weapon. * Italy is troubled by unemploy- ment, overpopulation and has some 700,000 Italians who were forced back to Italy after the war from the colonies and Balkans, he point- ed out, and for these reasons emi- : gration is essential. \Thirven force Door ‘At Gas Station Fri.

This may ve had something to do with his-coming away with honors from the recent Greater Miami dog club All-Breed show on January 18. Misty is just a novice, 18 months old, but he brought back three rib- bons after his entry in the show at Dinner Key auditorium. There were over 700 canine blue- bloods in the show. Misty strutted into the Citizen’ office yesterday | with button-eyes agleam, twiddled his whiskers, lifted his brindled | paws begging for attention (see | picture) and got it. After all, it | isn’t just every Key West dog that | makes good with a blue ribbon, | first prize symbol which he took | his class,-plus a gorgeous pur- | ple ribbon which indicated that he was in the upper crust of dogdom, | the winner’s class. The purple and | ‘gold showed that he was best of his breed. All ribbons are gold stamped with AKC, which stands for American Kennel Club ap- proval. In the all-terrier class, Misty lost by a whisker to a fuzzy muzzle Schnauzer, but wasn’t far behind in the group of. 30 terriers. It's a dog’s life allright. On Sat- | urday preceding the show,, Misty was taken to a fancy dog clinic for a. beauty treatment. He was mani¢ured, clipped, combed, had his ear tufts plucked (that should raise an eyebrow) and because his owners had washed him so tho- roughly, he,had to have rosin put on his coat, to stiffen it a bit. That made him feel fit as a fiddley doubtless. Anyway, after four hours of preparation he was show worthy and ready for the ring Mrs. Lazarovici was afraid that if he were in a long line with other entries waiting to be tagged that he might misbehave, so she took him back to the very end of the lineup. Then he turned beagle, she said and sniffed his way along the trail of the dogs who had gone be fore him. In the show ring his only fault. was to sit up and beg each time she raised her hand, or to stand up and waltz. . .and that is for the circus rings, not show tings. However, the New York judges smiled at his antics Misty had only one misadven- ture, and that was outside of the | show building. There he showed the cocky Ciarn trait and sprang SPECIAL ATTRACTION At DUFFY'S TAVERN 218 Duval St. GOULD CURRY At The Piane 9.1 P.M Taste Angele’s Delicious PIZZA PIES ‘eecoeernrcerctemmnmeenmernan ne Che Ke THE SOUTHERNMOST NEWSPAPER KEY WES Flamingo: Official To Come Here There is good news today for Key West basebail fans.
