with contraband scandal, in which
DR.. Fiere and Signor Castrignano, a
customs official, have been arrested. A
search of DR.. Fiere's house by the
police revealed that he had been IN
close touch with the German Embassy
and that embassy officials had been
sent here 20 organize a contraband
traffic. Several OF these officials have
been requested TO leave Italy
Compromising documents also lave
been found i'm the houses OF both the
arrested men. also $4,000 sent from
Germany for the purchase here of rice,
which IS largely replacing wheat N
bread-making in Germany.
Signor Castrignauo attempted to
brlbe d customs official with the object
OF smuggling rice through Italy, and
offered him $50. 900, representing a
commission of Is cents a quintal. This
proves that this enormous quantity Of
rice was intcndedfor Germany and that
the latter was prepared to pay nigh
price for IL.
