Dur- ing the parliamentary debate, the Communists accused the regime and Pavone in particular of trying to hush up the Montesi scandal. Pavone, whose job corresponded to that of the FBI head. of the United States, said he was resign- ing to have the “liberty necessary to protect my person.” ; Scelba appointed Minister With- out Portfolio Raffaele de Caro to head an investigation into the whole tangled case, in which many high persons have been named, including Piero Piccioni, son of Foreign Minister Attilio Piccioni. The nude body of the Montesi girl was found on the beach at Ostia, Rome’s nearby Lido, last April. The police report said there was no reason to believe she had died of anything other than acci- dental drowning. The police have stuck to that in spite of charges published re- cently in the one-man magazine Attualita (Actuality) that the dark- haired Wilma was drugged at an orgy at an exclusive hunt club near Ostia and left for the Medi- terranean tides to drown. The magazine named high political and social figures as members of the club, formerly the hunting lodge of Italy’s royalty. The magazine’s editor, Silvano Muto, is now on trial in a Rome court on charges of spreading false and alarmist reports. Star defense witness Anna Marie Mon- eta Caglio has testified she sus- pects her ex-lover Ugo Montagna, a member of the bunt club who calls himself a marquis, knows something about the Montesi girl’s death, She said Montagna was a friend of the younger Piccioni, that the two had visited Pavone and ‘that Montagna acquired an apart- ment in May last year for the know whether the alleged gift was ‘connected with the Montesi case. Pavone already has denied the story. CITY ELECTRIC (Continued from Page One) certain death. He pointed out that standard electric chairs use a current of only 2400 volts.

Ramsey. replied that the terms of a bond indenture under which the commission operates, will not allow them to reduce the rates. His letter: “The commission is not in a posi- tion to lower any water rates. The trust indenture dated March 1, 1952 under which the commission operates provides that the com- mission convenant that it will con- tinue in effect the schedule of rates in use at that time and several other provisions concerning re- serves and reserve maintenance ete. “The housing authority benefits by having few water meters for me- tering consumption in its projects. The average rate is just a frac- tion over 75 cents per thousand gal- lons. He pointed out that when Sigs- bee Park and Peary Court were built, the private owners agreed to make the water installation and the commission agreed to give them a rate of cost plus then cents per thousand gallons, which a- mounts to just about 50 cent per thousand, The Housing Authority is seek- ing a reduced rate preparatory to installing meters in all of its units. At the present time, they pay for all water used but when meters are installed, they will give the first three thousand free and as- sess tenants for the surplus used.
