Posted on Naples Walls

NAPLES, Jan. 2 Delayed An
outright appeal to violence, calling
on Italians to 'paralyze with terror
and strike without mercy at known
Fascists in southern Italy appeared
today on walls of Naples in placards
purported to have been signed by
Communists.
A sardonic criticism of the Allied
military government for not having
dealt more strongly with Fascists
was written into a paragraph which
said And if the Allies fail TO do
this out of the goodness of their
hearts, then we must do it."
The AMG instructed Italian mu-
nicipal authorities to find and ar
rest persons who prepared and dis
tributed the posters.
Although the posters bore Com
munist signatures, an Allied officer
expressed belief they might have
been prepared by German agents
operating behind the lines to foment
violence and disorder
