Attacks on the United States neu trality program proposed by Presi dent Roosevelt occurred in Italy’s Fascist press today, apparently with the full prior knowledge of Premier Mussolini’s regime. As the American Congress studied this and other proposals to keep this nation’s skirts clear of war, two more newspapers of Italy's government supervised press, Mussolini’s own Popolo d’ltalia, of Milan, and II Popolo di Roma criticized Roosevelt ian policies. Two other organs have launched si milar campaigns, the Jiornaie d’ltalia and La Tribuna. LI Popolo di Roma, said the Pres ident’s stand was due to "necessar ily imperfect and not profound know ledge” of European problems. Unofficial reports in Paris said the British general staff was pressing for application qf an oil embargo against Italy, and th% probability of its ini tiation before February 1 was fore seen in diplomatic circles.

Roosevelt higher with the farmers and the rank and file of the people and will probably do more to help renominate and elect him than anything else, according to State officials and others who commented on the action of the court today, after being assured they would not be quot ed directly. For the farmers of the United States do not want to go hack to six-cent tobacco, flve-cent cotton, 30-eent wheat and five-cent pork, most political observers here agree. The result is that thd farmers, even former Republican fahtters/fare now going to rally to the support of Roosevelt who has done more to in crease the.larin income of the nation than any other President, and who will now, with the assistance of Con gress, undoubtedly devise some other method of controlling crop production in place of the AAA, most observers here believe. “In the first place, the public gen (Continued on Page Six.)

Washington, Jan. 7 (AP)'— A belief that much more of the New Deal is as good as dead gripped many of its strongest supporters today as they stu died with dismay the six to three Supreme Court decision yesterday, which wiped out AAA as completely as NRA.
