ian government spokesman an

army.
A 6 pm. curfew was instituted in
Catania today. Eleven persons were

imprudent to disregard the warn
ings and fail to consider necessary
measures"
Rules issued were:
l. Dive behind any protection
available, or lie face down and pro-
tect your head and face with your
arms.
2. In case Of continued bomb
ings, seek the nearest shelter. Get
