WALLACE
New York, Apr. 1- Nearly 500 pickets, ba longing to voterans' organi- sations attempted vainly to break up a meeting at which the third party pre- sidential candidate, Henry Wallace, denounced the American threat to cut off ald to italy if that nation goes Communist.

Wallace said the United States plan to cut off aid to Italy if the Communists win the April 18 elections was "ruthless
and coercion," said the policy would breed civil war in Italy.United. Press.
