Throughout Italy
tBy Frank Brutfo)

ROME, (P) - New disorders erupted in Sicily yesterday, and the threat of a general strike hung over Rome's province as Premier Alcide de Gasperi's harrassed gov ernment was peppered with quer- ies in the constituent assembly on the recent crash of rioting through out Italy.
 Italian labor leaders deferred until today a decision on gen. eral strike for the Rome province to support their demands on the Christian Democratic government. There were unconfirmed reports that the Communists and leaders of the pro-Communist wing of the Socialists were at odds over the walkout. The Socialists were said to consider it inopportune.
 Reports from Sicily said disor- ders broke out at Vittoria, a town of 10000 in the southernmost pro- vince of Ragusa. The dispatches said police used tear gas to dis perse a march of 1000 Commun- ists and partisan veterans on local headquarters of the avoWedly Fas- cist Italian Social movement. The national partison congress in Rome Monday demanded the dissolution of that movement.
 Several persons were reported injured, one critically. Police re- stored order at Vittoria with rein forcements from nearby towns.

must be a provision for legal sanctions to use in the few cases where persuasion fails, other wise, the existence of a few stubborn, prejudiced employers, openly resisting qualified appli- cants for employment solely be- cause of race or color, will weaken the support of those who otherwise would be willing to cooperate.
 He further stated that the right to work is vital to life, to liberty and to the pursuit of happiness. That right he said is an enforceable right. It will have no harmful effect upon business. It has the support of public opinion. It is a good public investment. It will have a beneficial effect upon public morale. '
 MT. Stephens pointed out that, 'In New York the bills were favored by all political parties, leaders of the Catholic, Jewish and Protestant faiths by the State A. F. of L., and C.IO., by representative busi- nessmen and farmers, by civic and racial groups and by local, state and county officials.
 Mrs. Margaret Connors Dris- coll, lawyer for the State C.I.O., outlined the details of a bill to be proposed. In this bill she said the fine for proven dis crimination in employment can be $500 or a year in jail or both.
