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,

A tram came under a burst of machinegun fire, but its terri- fied passengers escaped injury.

Danger Of Spanish Question

London, Apr. 25, The Observer, in a copyright- ed story, sald today that the question of Spain "has emerged as the most dangerous possible cause of a political rift between Western Europe and the United States and it is felt in London the time has come for direct dis- the Foreign Cussions between Ministers of the Brussels_pow- era, Italy and the United States regarding Spain."
