Radio Seized ByFascists

Rome, May l-(UP)-Ffve men masked with black handkerchiefs and carrying hand grenades seized the main Italian radio monopoly transmitter last night, played the Fascist hymn "Giovinezza' and broadcast praise of Benito Musso- lini.
 For three minutes the men broad cast Fascist propaganda on Italys only radio network and lauded the dead Il Duce, whose body was stolen from a pauper's grave in Milan last week.
 The five men carried pistols as well as hand grenades.
 Individuals suspected of being Fascists also hurled three bombs in Rome last night, two against Communist Party headquarters and one against the Unita Avanti news paper building. Then they toured the city firing machine guns and spreading anti-C Communist leaflets
 No damage was done to the sta ton. The men departed so hur' riedly that they left behind tWt hand grenades, a pistol, recording' of the two Fascist songs and pro- paganda leaflets bearing the Fascis' 1 symbol and the inscription "Vivs | Ii Duce." They also abandoned | technical equipment for operatint l the transmitter. <.
 The men escaped into the nearD' countryside in two or three auto mobiles which had been waitinl with drivers at the wheels. Mobile police squads arrived within ! I minutes. but the men were gone.

Anglo-U. s. Group Asks for 100, 900

Washington, ay-1-(UP) Arab and Jewish leaders to- day gave an angry reception to an Anglo-Amerlean report rec ommendlng entry of 100000 Jews in- to Palestine and rejecting the con- cept that the Holy Land should pc either a Jewish or Arab state.
 The l5.OOO-word report. released simultaneously in Washington ana London last night, promptly touched off Q threat of armed strife in Palestine. Arab spokesmen salo the entry Of 100000 Jews into Pal estine would be tantamount to an invasion. And that they would combat it as such. Palestine Jews countered that they were ready tc meet any challenge.
 The report was the result of a four-month study which American and British leaders hoped would solve the vexing Palestine problem ard provide an answer to the burn ing question -lwhat to do with hum dreds of thousands of homeless Jews in Europe. Instead, it ap- peared to have stirred up a hornets nest.
 Neither Arabs nor Jews were sat- isfied. Arabs thought 100000 Jewish enigrants would be too many. Jews complained that the report reject- ed their plea that Palestine be turned into a Jewish state.

 The armed forces of the Soviet Union--our land force, military air force and navy-have fulfilled their duty to their country in a great patriotic war.

Copper Price .oy increase peal E actOFies
 T0 E Ke FfeGted

UnOonfirned reports that the OPA is ready to authorize ceillng price increase for copper, coming on the heels of recommendation by Federal fact finding board TOT wage increases of IS 1-2 cents hour ly for employees of mining, smelt- ing and refining companies, brought hope today that the price and wage situations in the non-ferTous indus tries may soon be stabilized.
 First direct. effect on Waterbury of copper price increases would re- suit from the fact that two of the largest producers have local SUD- sidiaries. American Brass Com pany, strike-bound since Feb. 4, IS a subsidiary of the Anaconda Cop per Company. Chase Brass & Cop per Company, which settled strike early last month, is a subsidiary or the Kennecott Copper Corporation.
 The general expectation was that the new copper price will be in the neighborhood of IA cents pouno, though some of the more optimistic in the industry thought 1t mignt 20 to l5 cents or close to that figure.
 The fact-finding boards report on wages affects Kennecott, among other firms. In addition to the | IS l-2 cent increase. the board rec ommends that five cents of the boost be made retroactive to either Sept. 1 or the date the union first maue wage demands. whichever date IS later.
 Kennecott and other large pro ducers, with Anaconda as the prin- cipal exception, have had tneir mines idle by strikes for lengthy period. Anaconda had only lO' day strike at one of Its properties Butte, which was settled on tne basis of an IS 1-2 cent increase plus retroactive pay of IA cents a.. ho,a,. on nly tA 0nt 1 1Q4k
