TRIESTE DECISION
A PROTEST IN ROME YOUTHS CAUSE TROUBLE (Rec. 10 p.m.) ROME, July 7. An overflow of youths from a big protest meeting in Rome against the Trieste decision, which was organised by the Italian Ex-servicemen’s Association in the People’s Square, got out of hand, and in spite of the presence of 200 Italian police, tore down all the Allied road signs, ripped up a fence surrounding a military car park, and used the timber to fling at passing Allied cars. Italian police and carabinieri, armed with clubs and rifles in army vehicles, repeatedly charged through the demonstrators, only to see them re-assemble, jeering. After an hour the police began swinging clubs and the crowd drifted away. Other protest demonstrations occurred throughout Italy. At Padua the historic university bell has been booming a muffled funeral toll since Friday night. It will go on until Tuesday. In the meantime, Italian refugees from Venezia Giulia are flooding in, and special arrangements have been made for their shelter.
