ITALIAN PARTISANS
RETENTION OF ARMS
ROME, September 4, Thousands of partisans who fought the Germans and Fascists in North Italy with arms supplied by the Allies or captured from the enemy have given up shotguns, pistols, knives, and museum pieces, in response to the Allied military government proclama« tions, but as raids have shown they have retained their machine-guns and sub-machine-guns. The partisans possess even mortars and anti-tank guns. A correspondent of the Associated Press says that Italian Government officials, or at least the Right Wing elements, are concerned about the capacity of the police to control any widespread rioting which might break out when the Allied forces leave the territory. ■
