Carabineri Open Fire On Unemployed Cro1Ud
Demonstrators Storm VininuIe Palace Offices

Rome, Oct. 9-UP)-The worst riot since Italy's libera- tion broke out today at Vimi- nale Palace, seat of the gov ernment, and initial reports said at least 15 persons were killed and more than 100 wounded in a wild battle be- tween demonstrators and saber-wielding, carbine-firing gendarmes.
 The demonstrators hurled stones at Vice-Premier Pietro Nenni, Communist leader Palmiro Togliatti and Under Secretary of Interior Angelo Corsi when they attempted to address the crowd.
 Unofficial newspaper reports placed the casualties much higher than the governments figures. More than 30,oO0 demonstr atorS, led by vanguard of 10000 persons marched on the palace and hun dreds stormed their way into the government offices They were H. nally driven out in a bitter battle with police.
 Carabineri opened fire on the mob with their carbines, causing most of | the casualties. Demonstrators re- piled with barrageS of rocks and a few hand grenades. The rioters at- tackled police with spikes and heavy clubs.
 Mobile police reserves attempting to reach the scene were hurled from their jeeps by demonstrators who stripped them of their weapons. The demonstration was led by about IS ,000 road workers who were dismissed from their jobs yesterday. They were joined by thousands of other unemployed, including many war veterans.
 The palace itself was st'''':2ieu by a crowd of several hundred men who fought their way into a side entrance after smashing guards on l the head with their clubs. The group rampaged through three floors of the thouSand-room palace, hunting the offices of Prem | fer Alcide DeGasperi and breaking up furniture and furnishings as it went.

z 2Sentenced ForToking
 CorOffLo

A 28-year-old Naugatuck man, father of three children, and an 18- year-old Waterbury, youth both of whom have previous records, were found guilty today when tried before Judge Charles R. Summa in City Court, of operating motor vehicle without a license and taking car without the permission of the own CT.
 The local youth, John Carey of T Bishop Street, on two years proba- tion from Superior Court where he was tried on theft charge earlier this year, was sentenced to six months in Cheshire Reformatory on the charge of taking car without permission.
 The Borough man, John Leo Ar senault, of 51 South Main Street, was sentenced to New Haven County Jail for four months on the same charge.
 Stories Conflict
 Both were granted suspended sentences on the other charge.
 Both accused, though they told conflicting stories, admitted they removed car from the Grove Street Used Car Exchange at 14 Grove Street shortly after 6 P. M. Sunday.
 Carey, arrested by Motor Patrol man Matthew Kosky and Patrolman Jerry Kenney, said he met Arsen- ault in the North Square Sunday and was told by him to get two girls and Arsenault would get a car. Carey said he told Arsenault that he knew no girls, whereupon Arsenault offered to supply both the feminine company and the means of trans portation.
 Carey testified that he went with Arsenault to the Grove Street Ex- change where Arsenault drove the station wagon out. Carey said the older man drove across Grove Street to Cooke Street and half way along Hawkins Street, where he stopped the vehicle and left without explanation.
 Couldn't Drive
 Carey, who told the court he did llOL k1lOW HOW tO OIlFe, SdlO ile attempted to take the car back to the Grove Street parking lot but sideswiped a car near Leffngwell Avenue on the way He said he was afraid of getting into trouble" be- cause of being on probation, so he waited for the owner of the side swiped car, Frank Danen of 34 Pine Street, to put in an appearance.
 Arsenault, who was given a sus- pended sentence from Superior Court in 1941 on a breach of the peace charge, said he was asked by Carey to drive the car from the parking lot. He said that. Carey told him he was unable to drive well and was afraid to drive out of the narrow driveway on Grove Street.
 He said afer he took the car out for Carey, he left him at Hawkins Street and started to walk to St. Mary's Hospital where he had been receiving treatment for stomach condition.
 Arsenault was arrested by It. Jo- seph Petit of the motor patrol.

 Stockholders Notice
 Says the Scovill letter to stock holders:
 The company has in contem- plation program for the pur- chase and construction of addi- tional machinery, equipment and buildings in it's various divisions included in which are additional mill facilities at the main plant at Waterbury, the estimated cost of which may exceed eight million dollars. This program is deemed advisable to reduce costs to keep abreast Of new developments and to balance productive capacity within the mills, all with view to maintaining the competitive posi- +iNr1 nf the nnOonanu
 The uncertain situation as re- gards costs of materials, equip ment and labor makes impossible the aIlocation of amounts for par ticular purposes, but it is antic- ipated that the entire net proceeds eventually will be required for this program. The making of such ex- penditures, however, must in large part await removal of government tai restrictions on the purchase of materials and equipment and their availability. Meanwhile the company will use a portion of the net proceeds to pay four million dollar bank loan"
