Communists Riot Against Italian Forces
Rome, March 23—(U.P.) — Italian security forces fought a bloody battle in San Savero today with a mot of strikers and their supporters who seized the town of 50,000 in a demonstration against the government.
The fighting still was going on this afternoon. But an armored column of troops, police and Carabinieri had taken most of the strife-torn town in "bloody Publia" of south Italy.
Casualty reports were confuse and sometimes conflicting. The latest, by phone from Carabinieri headquarters at San Savero, said "quite a number" on both sides were injured, but no deaths had been reported. Earlier word from nearby Foggia said some fatalities seemed likely.
The San Savero riot was the worst in three straight days of disorder and unrest throughout Italy. The Communists excited it with attacks on a new government policy of cracking down on Communist activity and increasing the nation's security forces. The battle started when strikers demonstrated to protest the killing of a worker at Parma Wednesday during a 12-hour general strike.
The demonstrators threw up road blocks around the town. When the local garrison of about 80 policemen tried to remove the blocks, the mob attacked with hand grenades and clubs. The police traded fire with the crowd and gradually retreated to their barracks. Foggia, 18 miles to the south, responded to a call for help. Authorities sent 200 soldiers, a motorized column of police and Carbarinieri, and six armored cars.
The reinforcements broke through the cordon around San Savero and fought the rebellious citizens. Little by little they took over the town. San Savero Carabinieri headquarters reported this afternoon that the situation "is returning to normal."
Another less serious battle broke out in Cerignola, birthplace of Communist Labor Leader Giuseppe Di Vittorio 19 miles south of Foggia. Several persons were injured when demonstrators clashed with police. Authorities feared the Cerignola fighting would burst into renewed flame when news of the San Savero battle reached there.
Both towns are in the heart of the "bloody Puglia" region, scene of many vicious battles between police and landless peasants since the war ended five years ago.
Premier Alcide De Gasperi_warned Communists the government may consider a new law to jail Communist political strike agitators in chains, as is the case in France, if trouble continues. In France, the government of Premier Georges Bidault passed stringent laws when faced with the threat of Communist strikes against the unloading of American arms.

CRCC Petitions Senators On Bill
A petition recommending passage of the Federal Fair Employment Practice Act in the United States senate is being circulated by members of the Civil Rights Coordinating committee, Chairman Howard Hallman. College senior announced.
The Bill, number HR-4453, would establish a five-member commission to audit employment practices in district and parish persons because of race, color, religion, or nationality.

Morris Urges Humanities Link With Science
Revitalizing the humanities and merger of that field with the sciences was urged by Dr. Charles Morris University of Chicago philosopher, in the sixth humanities lecture Wednesday.
A humanist teamed with the scientist can be an invaluable humanist," Dr. Morris said. "A humanity inspired by love of man can bring man back into the humanities,
His talk was the principal one of four scheduled appearances here. He will speak at 4 p.m. today in the Museum of Art on "Signs, Paintings, and Judgments of Value." At 10 a.m., he will address "Ways to Live and Individual Differences." The lecture will be in Fraser theater.
"The humanities are concerned with the measuring, recording, and creating of human values. There is some doubt that the humans have been doing their job. The scientists are the ones who have responded effectively to the problems of man during the past few years."
Dr. Morris noted that practitioners of the humanities somehow feel they must simply oppose science. This accomplishes nothing, since some persons who think they are opposing science are really caught in the sciences, the lecturer remarked.
"The essential question today is one of human values." Dr. Morris said. "To ascertain these values, we must go back to a basic level of human nature. One way is to include the entire study of man in our study of the humanities. We must put the humanities in the surroundings in which they are created and in which they function, and that is with science."
Jo E. Anderson, freshman in the School of Medicine, has won a $2000 scholarship awarded by the Rotary clubs of the 178th district for a year's study in a foreign country.
In his taik at 4 p.m. Wednesday on "Life Ideals in Orient and Ocident," Dr. Morris said we are inclined to think of the Orient as meditative, passive, receptive, while thinking of ourselves as extrovert, aggressive, and ambitious.
There is not too much apparent difference in the life ideals of the young people of these cultures," he said. "We find many psychological similarities between students of East and West."
"In some of the characteristics usually associated with orientals, we are more oriental." There is not East-West line, as such, visible.
"The difference between the East and West is based on concentration of population and adaptation to geographic environment. The contemporary Eastern peoples are being forced to integrate their culture with that of the Western world."
Anderson Awarded Rotary Scholarship
Anderson will use the scholarship to study psychology in England. His home is in Herington.
The Rotary club sends American students abroad and brings foreign students to the United States in alternate years.
