Italy's Supreme Court is to settle a long- standing quarrel between a Catholic parish priest and the Communist mayor of Correggio, who want to know once and for all for whom their big bell rings.

Correggio is in the Communist belt of north central Italy not far from the scene of the feud between the imaginary characters, "Don Camillo," the fighting parish priest, and "Peppone," the Com- munist mayor, made famous by the book of Giovanni Guareschi and the films starring the French comedian, Fernandel.

ARAB-ISRAEĻI DISPUTE

Why Britain Continues

To Press Compromise Solution

London, Dec. 6.

:

British hopes for a settlement of the seemingly insoluble dispute between Israel and the Arab states are based on the belief that no political standpoints are unchangeable, according to diplomatic quarters here.

It is this belief which explains Britain's determination to press the proposals put forward in November by the British Prime Minister, Sir Anthony Eden, for a compromise. territorial settlement between the two sides, despite their prompt rejection by the government of Israel.
