thony, respectfully petition your
Honorable Body not to confirm
the election consolidating An
thony with Huntington district
and also to restore Anthony its
original territory together with
that portion of the Huntington
district which was asked for in
former petition.
Huntington has small school
building, hardly large enough for
their original pupils, and there
is not time between now and
school time to build even though
the two districts were agreed as
to place and plans and after re-
peated efforts we find there is
no hope of any agreement as to
place as the people around Hun
tington will not agree to a school
anywhere except Huntington and
say they will not agree to any
where else, and your petitioners
do not think Huntington the
right place as it is in the lower
edge of the proposed district, no.

What's Going
MUSSOLINI-
MOROCCO
CHINA
On i'm World
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

A bloody revolution wouldn't be
surprising in Italy any day-prob-
ably not against the king who's a
mere figure head, but against Ben
ito Mussolini, the dictator.
Any revolution which unsseats
Mussolini. cr any attempted one
which he puts down, is bound to be
bloody.
Thirteen months ago Deputy
Matteotti of the Italian parliament
was murdered. Everybody knew it
was for opposing the Fascist, the
political society Mussolini is head IF
1t was one of a series of assassina-
tions the dictator was accused of
having inspired.
The latter's underlings, however,
arrested General de Bono, another
big Fascist. After long delay they
tried him perfunctorily and acquit-
ted him. That ended the whole thing,
SO far as any accounting for the
Matteotti murder was concerned.
One hundred and twenty of the
dead lawmakers fellow deputies
signed a protest against this dismiss
sal of the case.
In retaliation members of the
Fascist terrorist organization as
saulted Giovanni Amendola, initial
singer of the protest and anti-Fas-
cisti leader, and left him for dead.
He isn't quite, but nearly.
