I've always wanted to do this mov-

Italian Leader
Once Bitter Foe
Of Communists
ROME, Italy, Feb. 11 <U.R>~ Ma-
rio Scelba, latest to attempt to
form a stable Italian government
to end the nation's extended polit-
ical crisis, is given a "major share
of the credit for defeating the
early post-war rise of communism
in Italy.
By an odd turn of circumstance,
if he succeeds in forming a govern-
ment and becoming premier, Scel-
ha will once again be matching
wits, leadership and political skill
with the man who did most to
further the postwar rise of com-
munism in Italy.
That man, Alexander Y. Bogo-
molov, then the Soviet member of
the Allied Coat re. I Commission for
Italy has just returned to Rome as
an ace diplomat of the Kremlin
and the Soviet ambassador to Italy.
Scelba knows what Bogomolov's
return means. Russia is hoping to
capitalize on Italy's long crisis and
political uncertainties by resuming
the effort to win Italy away from
the West.
Scelba also knows how to deal
with stich a situation.
He built the police force that de-
feated Bogomolov seven years ago.
Bald, 53-year-old Scelba is one of
Italy's most controversial figures.
Observers coucede he did a won-
derful job, in team-work with
former Alcide de Gasperi, in beat-
ing back the Communist surge in
the early post war years. But they
fear that he might become lost in
the jungles of party politics.
He is regarded more a crusader
and man of action than a negotiat-
or, even by leaders of his own
Christian Democratic party. He is
known as "the elephant in the
glassware shop." His blunt politic-
al speeches have stirred violent
criticism in the past.
After Mussolini declared war on
the Allies, Scelba contacted de Gas-
peri, who was working in the Vati-
can library. In 1S)41 the two of
theni began to rebuild the Popular
party, renaming it the Christian
Democratic party. Scelba served
on the party's underground central
committee. He became president
of the party's Rome provincial
committee after the 1944 libera-
tion of Rome.

WE, TOO, HATE -
HIGH COFFEE PRICES
They're bod for coffee users. And bad for us, too, because
our business prospers most when we can offer all foods at
low prices.
Unfortunately, we hove no control over the high costs of
green coffee imports which are forcing store prices up.
Basically. they result from increased use of coffee and two
years of small crops in Brazil. We hope prices will return
*
to normal when the 1954 crop reaches morfcef In the mean-
time, we do hove a suggestion which we hope you wilt
find helpfuf.
Here's A Way To Save 'Jp To 10< Per Pound
On Coffee and Still Enjoy Top Quality:
Because Airway and Nob Hill Coffees are pocked in paper
bags, they con be sold at severol cents per pound less than
vacuum-pocked coffees. These two popular blends are
protected in the whole bean — Nature's own package —
until you get them of Safeway. Then, you simply set our
handy automatic grinder, empty bag into hopper, flip a
switch, and smelt the fragrant coffee as il pours bock into
the bog — fresh-ground, just the way you wont it.
Why not choose the blend that suits your family he'I and

Shimmy Star Of
20s Thinks lot
Much Of Rita
DENVER, Feb. 11 Gilda
Gray, who shook and shivered her
way to fame in the roaring '20s,
seemed more contemptuous of Rita
Hayworth's sex appeal Wednesday
than humiliated by the modern
movie star's version of the shim-
my.
Miss Gray, who lives in retire-
ment at Larkspur, Colo., Tuesday
dropped a Five-year court battle to
collect $1 million from Columbia
pictures as damages for its 1946
production "Gilda," starring Miss
Hayworth and Glenn Ford. The
still slim, attractive blond had
sued in 1949, contending that the
movie was bused on her career as
the shimmy queen of three decad-
es ago, without her consent and in
conflict with her own attempts to
sell her life story in Hollywood.
Columbia, Miss Gray claimed,
subjected her to embarrassment,
humiliation and public notoriety,
and inVaded her privacy.
Her out-of-court position, how-
over, was that the film was "a
THURSDAY, FEB. 11, 1954—BRECKENRIDGE AMERICAN—S
terpretation of the shimmy, "aw-
ful." V ..
The shimmy, as defined by Miss
Gray, is a "rhythmical shaking and
shivering parts of the body, syn-
chronized and performed to a per-
sonalized syncopated musical rhy-
thm and accompanied with appro-
priate songs."
But she said Rita "didn't put
the sex appeal into It that I did
and she doesn't have my singuig—
only Gilda Gray can do that dance.
"And Dahling, it may not be long
before I come up to Denver and
remind everyone what a Gilda
Gray shimmy really looks like."
Attorneys petitioned the court
Tuesday to dismiss the $1 million
suit "with prejudice"—meaning
that Miss Gray can never again
sue Columbia for damages grow-
ing out of "Gilda."
The film reportedly grossed $7
million for Columbia. Miss Gray
was vague as to whether she
reached a settlement for her dam-
age claim out of court, but said
she was "so happy" that it was
now a dead issue.
"For one thing, I can seriously
consider offers to do the real story
of my life in the movies," she
said. "I've already had one call
from Hollywood."
