tended the dictator'S death before a
firing squad. After the examina-
ton, his body was sewed together
roughly.
Body On Sawdust
Fittingly, the body of the Saw
dust Caesar" rested on sawdust,
loosely thrown IN the bottom OF the
coffin. He was nude and his blood
soaked uniform was tossed on top
of him.
In casket 1865, still next to him,
was the body of Clara Petacci, COW
cred by the crinlson-stained skirt and
white blouse in which she had died.
Her clothes had been partly torn off
while her body and Mussolini's were
hanging, heads down, from the
rafters of burned-out gasoline sta
ton.
Casket 166 bore the remains OF
former Fascist party secretary
Achille Starace. who was executed
yesterday in Loretto Square in view
of the dangling bodies.
The Partisans asked Starace
whether he wanted to be shot in
the front or the back. He replied
in the front. They promptly shot
him in the back.
With the bodies of MuSSolini and
his mistress out Of reach of their
fury, the Milan mob stormed Wit

of Marshal Rudolfo Garziani, Fas-
cist minister Of war and comman-

However, Partisans turned Grazi-
ami over to Col. Norman Fiske, OF
Portland, Ore. OF the Allied Com
mission. The marshal was taken to
Fourth Corps headquarters outside
Milan to be held as war criminal.
Fiske also accepted the surren-
der OF $50 TO 200 SIS troops, includ-
ing their general, who had been
barricaded in the Hotel Regina
since the Partisan uprising began
here last week. When the Germans
filed from the hotel a crowd OF
thousands spat upon them, Kissed,
and shook their fists. Some Parti-
sans levelled their rifles,
1t was frenizied day for the
Milan mobs. They were their most
savage and sadistic while the bod

Some of the most important big
wigs in the capital turned out for
his little dinner. including two Su-
preme Court Justices, three Cab
met members, admirals, generals,
even Georgia's extremely conserva-
tive Senator Walter George who
made his debut at CLIO meeting.
The labor leaders who have been
meeting to set up their new world
labor organization are beset with as
many jurisdictional disputes, tricky
diplomatic quarrels and historic
headaches as the heads of their gov
ernments now meeting in San Fran
cisco.
Russian Delegate Stole Show
The most intriguing speaker at
the Murray dinner was Russian del
egate Vaszili Kuznestov who vowed
the audience, not so much by what
he said but because of his amazing
translator, an enthusiastic Russian
girl, Olga" who speaks English,
French, German, italian and Span
ish fluently, plus 26 Russian dialects.
CLIO Secretary-Treasurer Jim
Carey, introducing Kuznetsov, said
"One good point you learn at inter-
national conferences is that you
have to wait until the speech is
translated into three different Ian
guages before you can stand up and
make an argument. BY that time
you realize the point is not very
important, so you don't say it after
all, and that saves a lot of time"
Another speaker was Louis Sail
liant, President Of the French re-
sistance movement, who fought with
the French underground throughout
the entire NaZi occupation. He
pointed out that since working peo-
pie are the bulk of the world, labor
has greater stake in q just and
lasting peace than any other group.
Labor, he said, would really take
matters into its own hands if such
a peace were not agreed to at San
Francisco and other international
meetings.
