Italy Strikes At tProfiteers

Milan, Aug 30-CUP)-Dispate from eastern Piedmont said today hundreds of partisans are continu- ing their agitation from their mountain hideouts
 These stories said that the main square of Allessnadria, north of Genoa, still was blood-spattered from the beatings which partisans gave alleged Fascists and black marketeers last night.
 The reliable Corriere Della Sera said several prominent industrialists were kidnapped today and taken to partisan headquarters for "instruc- tions."
 The partisans' ultimatum to the indusrtalists was said to have de- manded hiring of 200 partisans within three days, reduction of working hours and payment of sal aries to partisans who cannot re- port for jobs because they are mobilized in the mountains.
 Dispatches to Milan newspapers said 200 more recruits have joined the partisans hiding out in the Casale Mountains.
 The semi official news agency Ansa meanwhile reported that the partisan movement in Piedmont and Lombardo is controlled from Milan headquarters.

 Veterans Asked
 To Stay in Troininq

Washington, Aug. 30. (UP)-Fear 0f a shortage of skilled craftsmen Tor industry was expressed today oy the Labor Department as it sought to prevent wholesale exodus of veterans from its ap- )rentice-training program.
 The departments Labor Manage nent Advisory Committee on Ap- )rentices said it had received re- ports of widespread dissatisfaction mong veterans. Many have threat med to withdraw because of new congressional wage ceilings.
 A newly passed bill prohibits ap- prentices and other on-the- job trainees from receiving monthly subsistence allowances if they al- ready are being paid $175 month (single men) or $200 a month (mar- ried men) by their employers
 The Veterans Administration said it cannot exempt either appren- tices or on-the- job trainees from this ceiling. The CIO and veterans organizations plan to ask the next Congress to wipe it out.
 The advisory committee appealed to veterans meanwhile to remain in their apprentice training jobs. It urged employers and labor unions to exert every reasonable inf1u- ence' on them to do so.
 It said recent charges of whole sale abuses in on-the-job training do not apply to standard appren- ticeship programs And it urged vet
