Socialist President For Italy
Róme, June 26.
Italy's constituent assembly, after cheering wild assertions that the disputed territory, Venezia Giulia, must remain Italian, yesterday after- noon elected 48-year-old Giuseppe Saragat, Right Wing Socialist and former Ambassador to Paris, as its President.
A minister without portfolio in the first provision- al government of Ivanoe Bonomi and an op- ponent of joint action with the Communists, Saragat received 401 out of the 466 votes cast. Orlando drew the biggest ovation-in which Communists, Socialists, Republicans and Mon- archists alike joined with his impassioned defence of Italy's right to keep the areas at the head of the Adriatic.

Rio De Janeiro, June 26. Special police precautions have been instituted here following a renewed outbreak of "Black Dragon" terrorism among the 250,000 Japan- ese settlers in the State of Sao Paolo. The latest victim of the secret "Shindo Remmei"----- the Brazil branch of Japan's dread "Black Dragon Society"--was 68-year-old Jinsaku Wakuyama, former colonel of the Japanese Army, who was shot dead before his grand- daughter by four countrymen in a coldblooded murder that shocked the entire country.
