...produced last year's whipping boys - the 80th Congress and "selfish interests"-but he had freshened up the lines. Now, he declared, there was a "scare-word" campaign. "The people want public housing for low-income families," Truman said. "The selfish interests . . . think it will cut down on their own income so they call it 'collectivism' . . . The people want fair laws for labor. The selfish interests . . . mistakenly fear that their profits will be reduced, so they call that 'statism' . . . We don't care what they call it . . .

Police Dogs & Walkie-Talkies. To take charge of the campaign against Giuliano, Scelba announced the creation of a special force of 2,000 young carabinieri, all from mainland Italy, and all unmarried. At the head of the new command he placed Colonel Ugo Luca, a robust, taciturn ex-army officer who holds eight medals for valor. Luca planned to use tough paratroopers as ground assault troops, set up small, highly mobile units equipped with machine guns, walkie-talkies and police dogs.
