The imperial crown was taken from the Tower of London to be placed on the coffin. In the great hall of Westminster six women knelt side by side and stitched new carpeting into place to hush the echoes of the stone floor.o

And the drum beat out the measured pace as 150 naval men clicked in slow march over the empty streets. lowing the polished green gun-carriage that will carry the coffin of the king.

This was the preparation for intricate rites of royal burial.

Monday the body of the King will be brought from Sundring- ham, and the solemn ceremony that will last almost a week will get under way.

The crown with its 3,004 Jewels will be placed over the coffin. and the gun-carriage will go ahead through the streets to carry the King's body to the long lying-in- state in the hushed hall at West- minsler.

Action Has Blessing Of Western Powers

By James M. Long

ROME, Feb. 10 - (AP) - The 1947 Italian peace treaty was virtually eiopunged from the re- cord today by Italy's announce- ment that she renouncea any further obligation to the Soviet Union under its terms.

Repudiation of treaty obliga- tions to Russia-announced Sat- urday night in a note handed to Soviet. Ambassador Mikhail Kos- tylev-was seen as an indication that Italy intends to go ahead with the building of an army, navy and air force beyond the limitations set by that treaty and will pay no more of the 5100.- 000.000 war debt claimed by Rus- sla.

Western Powers lyack Move

The Western Powers notified Italy last December that she is free to disregard all treaty lim- itations on her arms and have undertaken to help her rcarm to build up the defence of Western Europe. Russia and her satellites have protested this as an aggres- sive act against the Soviet Union.

The Italian note charged that Russia herself had violated the peace treaty pledge to support Italian membership to the United Nations. Russia vetoed the Ital- ian membership application re- cently for the fifth time. de- manding that all applicants-lm

eluding some of her Communist satellites-be introduced in one package.

Russia has already taken over a considerable portion of the old Italian war fleet. The treaty cal- led for Italy to surrender to the big-four powers virtually half of her fleet. The United States and Britain relinquished their claims. But Russia took all of her claim-
