Leftists on Warpath In Italy, Sounding Civil War Warnings By th« AMOciatcd Prni ROME, Nov. 14.—Italy’s powerful _ Left, seething with suppressed anger since Premier Alcide de Gas l peri kicked it out of the cabinet last May, was openly and admitted ly on the warpath today, sounding warnings of “civil war.” During turbulent Constituent Assembly debate last night over prolonged violence sweeping the en tire peninsula, Communist Guiseppe di Vittorio, leader of the big Gen eral Labor Confederation, grimly declared: “If you want to save the country from the misfortune of civil war, it will be necessary for the government to observe the democratic legality of dissolving Fascist organizations rather than imbuing them with the hope of rising again and taking over power anew.” The Communist Party chief, Pal miro Togliatti, pointed up the warn ing later when he told reporters in the Assembly corridors that the Communists would keep up their fight against Mr. de Gasperi on a parliamentary plane—“as long as that is possible.” iveu uepuiy tjecvea. Inside the chamber the debate grew so raucous at one point that Speaker Umberto Terracinl, a Com munist, ejected Deputy Edoardo d’Onofrlo, also a Communist, for refusing to quiet down. One new death was reported to day, swelling to five the known toll for 10 days of riotous disorder the length and breadth of Italy. Fer ruccio Gatti, ex-general of the Fascist militia, who was shot as he sat at lunch in Milan November 4, died of his wounds. The clubbed, the stabbed, the trampled numbered scores, however, and strikes added to the black pic ture. Factory workers quit for long or short periods in Milan, Genoa, Turin and other big industrial centers. Ferrara Province farmhands quit at midnight for an unstated period. Doctors in Bari struck. A declared nationwide gas strike—which thus far had affected only Rome—re mained unsolved. Publicly the middle-of-the-road De Gasperi government was taking the leftist challenge calmly. Reports Termed Exaggerated. Interior Minister Mario Scelba, when he finally managed to make himself heard in the Assembly last night, declared that the reports of violence were “exaggerated” and said the government would use the force of the state to suppress what ever violence there was. Everywhere the pattern of the dis orders differed only in the details. Ostensibly they began as Leftist protests against the recent deaths of other Leftists in the Milan area and in Sicily. The meetings heard that there was a resurgence of fascism. Offiffices of such rightwing groups as the Monarchists, Liberals and Uomo Qualunque (Common Man) were wrecked.

Argentina Lashes At American Paper By the Auociated Frees BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 14.—The Argentine press office declared last night that the New York Times is "systematically anti-Argentine” and a "constant enemy of our people and nation.” In a communique broadcast over a nation-wide radio chain, the press office said the Times had misinter preted the reorganization of national universities under a recently enacted law. The communique quoted the Times as saying the universities had been "placed almost in the complete con trol” of supporters of President Peron. It said the paper did not understand Argentine probletns. The government has defended re organization of the universities as necessary for eliminating politics from the schools. (The Times office in New York withheld comment, pending a search of its flies for the quota tion mentioned.) A short time earlier the govern ment ordered the closure of the in dependent morning newspaper Clar in because of an alleged labor in fraction but canceled the order within the hour, without explana tion. Americans with incomes under $500 a year contribute as large a portion of those incomes to churches as those with incomes of from $5,000 to $10,000 a year and more than twice the proportion contributed by those with incomes over $10,000. , ■ . .
