In accordance of expected bitter Soviet opposition, they waived World War II peace treaty limitations on Italian armed forces. A note handed by Secretary of State Acheson to Italian Ambassador Alberto Tarchiani at the State Department at 10 a.m. (EST) stated that so far as the United States government is concerned: 1. The peace treaty preamble treating Italy as a defeated enemy "no longer exists." 2. Political requirements of the treaty are "superfluous." 3. Italy "is released" from the treaty's limitations on armed forces. In Rome, the foreign office announced that eight nations—the United States, Britain, France, Holland, Belgium, Greece, New Zealand and China—had agreed to an Italian appeal of Dec. 8 for the treaty changes. The foreign office said that with these acceptances "Italy has overcome the humiliating conditions which had been imposed upon her by the diktat of 1947." Immediate and violent objections from Moscow are expected since Russia has opposed every step to strengthen the Atlantic alliance, or to revise any agreement in which it had a voice, without its consent. But officials are confident the Russians will do nothing more than object and cannot alter the practical effect of the waivers. The military section of the peace treaty—now waived by the western powers—limited Italy to 185,000 soldiers, 65,000 carabinieri, one battleship, three cruisers and four destroyers, 200 fighter and reconnaissance planes, and 150 transport planes. It is up to the Italians themselves now to decide what size forces they want to have. Fighting Takes John Service in Appeal to Loyalty Review Board WASHINGTON (UP) — John S. Service, ousted State Department official, appealed to the loyalty review board today to set aside its finding that there was "reasonable doubt" as to his loyalty. He challenged the authority of the board to make the ruling and asked for full reconsideration of his case "as an act of simple justice." Service filed the appeal through attorneys a day after Loyalty Board Chairman Hiram Bingham protested the State Department's release of the board report that led to the firing of Service. Bingham told Secretary of State Acheson in a letter the release violated President Truman's order for secrecy on reports dealing with the loyalty of government workers. The board's decision on Service reversed a State Department loyalty board which cleared him. Service attacked the ruling on that point, contending the board's authority is limited to the review of cases of employees who have been recommended for dismissal by departmental boards. "No departmental loyalty board has ever recommended Mr. Service's dismissal," the brief said. Therefore, the Loyalty Review Board has no authority to review or reverse the favorable finding of the State Department Board." Service also took note of the board's statement that it had not found him guilty of disloyalty and that there was no evidence of his membership in the communist party or any subversive organization. Fighting Takes On Brief Roles In Ismaillia ISMAILIA, Egypt (UP) — Five Egyptians were killed and three captured last night near the British military filtration plant at Suez, a British army communique said. The communique said six royal engineers caught the Egyptians "digging up an old pipeline about 150 yards from the plant." The communique said the engineers surrounded the Egyptians, who tried to escape by diving into the Sweet Water canal and fired when a challenge was ignored. The British built a military road to the filtration plant a week ago after levelling a tiny Arab village as a precautionary measure against terrorists. The communique said two of the three captured were released after questioning. The communique also reported that terrorists made two unsuccessful attempts to damage a railway culvert near Suez with explosives. WASHINGTON (UP) — Republican Senator McCarthy, who is bidding for re-election next year, today challenged President Trump to campaign against him in Wisconsin.

Season's Traditional Joy to Be Lacking in Many Homes (By The Associated Press) Carolers will sing and tinsel will glisten on Christmas next Tuesday as in years past, but in thousands of American homes the season's traditional joy will be lacking. Cherry candles in the windows of many a dwelling will obscure the fact that the family inside is thinking of a son or husband risking death in distant Korea. The, uncertainly turned to thankful joy in some homes this week with word that a missing loved one was reported alive—in an enemy prison camp, but alive. But in an even greater number, the name of a loved one overseas remained on the list of missing. Thus the season emphasized, perhaps to a greater degree than usual, family ties and the homes. President Truman intends to follow his custom of flying to his family home in Independence, Mo., on Monday to have Christmas dinner there with his wife and daughter, Margaret. From Independence, the President will press a button Christmas eve to light a tree on the lawn of the White House in Washington. He will broadcast a Christmas message at the same time. Across the nation, travelers headed for home wherever it was. A substantial segment of the travelers were in uniform, on leave from training camps in the United States. They didn't know when they would spend another Christmas with their families. The scene was the same, in varying degrees, from coast to coast — trains, buses, airplanes filled to capacity. In New York, the Pennsylvania railroad said it was running 150 extra trains over the holiday week-end. The Greyhound Bus Line sent 132 buses to Washington and other southern points yesterday, compared with a normal 33.
