FASCIST ROW
By international News ssFvies


NEW YORK. May 31.-This is
more like the day after st. Pat
rick's than after Memorial Day.
All over Greater New York men
and a few women are nursing bat
tered heads and bruises as the re-
suit Of clashes and near riots dur
ing memorial parades. But the old
time patriotic bodies which formerly
made up the Decoration Day pro
ceEsions had no part in the quar-
rels.. The trouble arose from the
presence Of Fascists and anti-Fas.
cists and Ku Klux Klansmen and
women Of the Havana, the fem
mime branch Of the khan.
Two pro-Fascists were killed IN
the Bronx during a clash between
the supporters Of Mussolini and
the antis. Later on 500 Fascists
enliyened things in Times Square
by chasing three antis through the
streets.
In Queens borough 1,400 Klans-
men and women Of the Havana
ran the gauntlet of attacks, both
verbal and actual. while parading.
The police were powerlese to pre-
vent the attacks which went on
sporadically along the four-Inile
route Of the procession. Many
Klansrnen had their robes torn off
and many of the men and women
marchers were struck by flying
missiles.
