pected to reduce most of Italy's
Jewish breadWinners to the posi-
ton of small tradesmen.
Since the government has esti-
mated Italy's 57,425 Jews are in
approximately $1,000 families, esti-
mates of the newly employed Jews
indicate an average OF one per fam
lily has lost his job.
Usually reliable private sources
reporting the action said it was in
compliance with the decree Of No.
vember 10 excluding Jews from gov
ernment positions, restricting their
businesses and professions and for
bidding their marriage to Italian
"Aryans."
Virtually the only occupations left
open to Jews are operation of small
businesses and manual labor, and
presumably the $1,000 now are look
ing for these types of work. The
Italian press notes that few Jews
are laborers.
