FASCIST ITALY'S QUEST EFFORTS LACKING IN FIRE (Received January 19, 6.5 p.m.) Times Cable* LONDON, Jan. 1R The Milan correspondent of the Times says Italy has Fascist anthems, but is seeking an Imperial anthem. A competition was held and the three selected entries were broadcast, but the public was not impressed. Signor Farinacci, a member of the Grand Council, writing in the Regime Fascista, said: "None of tho anthems had the warmth of African battles." All seemed to him far removed "from the grandeur of events." None interpreted the "heroic march which sings in the heart of the people."
He expressed the opinion that the composers must have been the victims of the winter cold nnd hoped for better efforts in the spring.
