Of Tramcar
Milan, Apr. 25. Rifle-swinging police, aided by a timely rain storm, today broke up Italy's first post-election riot. Communists provoked and guided the wild do- monstration in Milan's famed Cathedral Square.

The Com-and formed ranks for the half munists apparently fired at the police. A passer-by was known to have been injured and a ria tional policeman killed by a bullet which reportedly was not from police guris,

Danger Of Spanish Question
