NUSSOLINI EXTENDS
 DICTATORIAL SYSTEM

Rome. PJ--Overburdened by in- solini has elevated provincial pre- fects to the rank of "vice dictators." responsible only to himself and with powers of absolute control over all affairs in their respective regions
 Henceforth each prefect will have thc title head of the prov. ince." implying direct delegation of dictatorial powers from Mussolini. who in addition to being Prime Minister has the specal rank of "head of the government" parallel ing the kings title of head of the state"
 Under the new system the pre- fects will be absolute commanders in chief of the political. economic. administrative. scholastic and syn- dicalistic affairs in their regions. They will bring to the attention of the central government only such matters as they see fit and under circumstances which they judge to be most wise
 Appeals over their heads directly to Rome are expressly forbidden Every petition must go through them Every political delegation visiting Rome must be accompanied personally by them.
 Just as Mussolini is the apex Of the pyramid of dictatorship in the nation. the prefect will be the apex of converging lines of control with in the province. working out it's destinies as lieutenants of the die tator
 A similar tendency to delegate dictatorship is seen in the suppress sion of boards of dictators and con- sultative committees in control of various national organizations. Signor Turati has been appointed "extraordnary commissioner" for the National Recreation Institute. while baron Alberto Blanc has been given similar post in the National Institute for the protection of Ma ternity and Infancy, both being re- sponsible only to Mussolini.

the same hand In an unusual operation
performed by surgeons Of the Baptist
State hospital.
The fingers were crushed in an au-

broken. Surgeons said that 1t is pos
sible the skin was killed and will
not grow upon the injured hand, in
which event other skin will be grated.
However, they believe the grating is
final.
Mrs. Malone suffered the injuries to
her fingers and hand when the truck
