Russian Inspired Plots Korea's Big Problem

GRAZIANI CONTINUES HISTRIONICS

Rome, Oct. 11-Ex-Marahal Rodolfo Graziani, on tria' for collaboration with the Germans, interrupted the President of the Court today, with a shout of "Stop your questions-are you trying to kill me?"

The judge was attempting to clarify Graziani's evidence about his acceptance of the Ministry of Defence in Musso- lini's Northern Republic.

Earlier in the sesaloh, the former Italian Chief of Staff, who has so far apoken for 16 hours in his own defence, burst out: "The real destroyers of Italy are the British. I have always hated them. I hate them now and I will always hato them."

The former Marshal was referring In his evidence to events at the end

of the war in Italy. He insisted that It was not the partisans who saved Northern Italy from Hitler's scorched earth polley but the efforts of Mussolini and himself.

Graziani insisted that at the time of the formation of Mussolini's Republican Government, Italy was looked upon by the belligerents as a "prize of war such as Poland" and he claimed that It was Mussolini and himself who saved the nation. The former Marshal said: At first I refused to accept the post of Do- fetice Minister in Mussolini's Govern- ment, but when I found my name included in the Cabinet list despite my refusal, I accepted."

He added dramatically: "Thus sacrifice Wan complete."—
