 Yesterday, while the father was awaiting commitment to jail, the children were huddled together at police headquarters, with no place to go and nobody 10 care for them. Their ages are 12, 9, 8 and 6 years.

The decrees also pro- hibit the manufacture and sale of 'luxuryF bread and the manufac- turers of sweets and pastries con- taining wheat flour. Violations of the decree will be punished severely and strict system of enforcing them has been created.
 The ministry of the interior, despite a gseat increase in its needs of personnel, has contributed to the governments economic campaign by the abolition of 95 of 167 sub-pre- factures. It also has combined many minor posts.
 Finance Minister Volpi also an- nounced a reduction in the public debt of sS9,S6:3, 900 lira in the treas ury bonds to 17,000,000,000 lira and in the annual debt to 75,O0o,0O0 lira.
