ROME, DEC. 4 (UP).—“DOWN WITH RUSSIA! DOWN WITH COM- MUNISM!" WAS THE CRY OF MORE THAN A THOUSAND FASCIST STUD- ENTS WHO MARCHED THROUGH THE MAIN STREETS OF ROME TO THE RUSSIAN EMBASSY TO-DAY.
Hundreds of policemen, aided by 500 steel helmeted gendarmes and cara- binieri in full field equipment and bayoneted rifles, cordoned the streets around the Russian Embassy and dis- persed the demonstrators before they reached the Embassy. The students,
however, declared that they would re- appear "after lunch" and dozens of plainclothes police were left on guard in the area of the Embassy.
FINLAND CHEERED
The manifestation started with a friendly demonstra- tion before the Finnish Legation when the Finnish Minister three times appeared on the balcony in response to wild cheering and cries of "May Finland win! Long live Finland!"
