Fascist March On Milan Feared After Theft of Mussolini's Body
Milan. (UP) — Italian police blocked all roads into Milan today to prevent a Fascist march on the city inspired by the theft of Benito Mussolini's body and claims that a fight against Communism has begun in Il Duce's name.
A fiery manifesto circulated by the "Fascist Democratic party," proclaiming, a fight against the "Red parasites" regardless of the cost, prompted precautions against an outbreak of violence.
The manifesto, smacking of the blood and mysticism used by Mussolini in his heydey, was circulated among newspapers and reached police. It said the Fascist Democratic party" was obliged to begin the struggle "against those henchmen of Red violence" to compel the free expression of the popular majority.
"Finally, O Duce, you are with us. You will always be for us that light which we will look to as the sun. The sun has returned to shine on your forehead. We will surround
Authors of the manifesto claimed that the grave robbers escaped with the complete body, although reports circulated that a decomposed part of one leg had been left in the grave. The graveside note, found in a sealed envelope, said:
you with roses but the perfume of your virtues will be stronger than roses. Duce, we will fight in your name, teaching ourselves the way."
The body was removed by four men, using ordinary garden spades. They dug up the body nad placed it in a wheelbarrow, trundling it over to a nearby fountain. The number of men involved was established by their footprints in the soft earth, police said.
The spades and the wheelbarrow were part of the cemetery's equipment. It was believed that the men washed Mussolini's corpse and wrapped it in a sheet before taking it away.
In Rome, 30 armed policemen were posted in the Piazza Venezuela to prevent any Fascist demonstrations. The guards reported everything calm beneath the dictator's old balcony.
The manifesto contained messages venerating Mussolini similar to those in the note found at the grave.
"Let us gather up that body, let us drink deeply of that light," it said. "The day will come when, our land purified of Red parasites, the flame spirit will again be able to break forth invincible and in fiery triumph against all materialism and all weakness."

A.S.C. To Take Matter Of Negro Participation To Big Six Schools
Other members of the committee are Wendell Nickell, Mary Jane Zollinger, and Carolyn Nigg.
