OVERTHROW PLOT
NEWS TO CAPITOL
State Department Has No
Information On Plans
Against Three Nations

WASHINGTON, March 25-Pe
he State department issued a
statement tonight saying it knows
OF no plot to overthrow the gov
eminent of Costa RIGA, Nicaragua
and Honduras.
/ Earlier a diplomat told report
ers that the department had beer
informed of such a plot and that
two other Latin American coun-
tries were alleged to be involved
in it.
This official withheld the use
OF his name.
Ambassadors Of Costa RIGA,
Nicaragua and Honduras did call
Saturday to e Dean Acheson,
undersecretary of state, the de.
partment said. Then continued
In its statement:
They left a memorandum with
Mr.. Acheson. This memorandum
simply reiterated what had been
published previously with ref
erence to unauthorized arms ship
ments which were seized in Mex.
leo n New orleans.

ments to any other country. Its
purpose was merely to bring OF.
ficially to the attention OF the
department of these previously
mentioned reports.
No Plot Known
"The department knows of no
plot to overthrow the governments
Of these three countries"
A department spokesman said
the seizure of arms in Mexico
was made early in February. The
weapons involved were mostly
small arms, he said, and two
Nicaraguans were reported to be
involved. =
One was identified as an en-
ploye of the Guatemalan gov
eminent, the other as a Nicara
guam exile in Mexico City.
The State department said its
only information on the New Or
leans incident is that two LISTS
uanding ships) containing arms
and ammunition were seized
there on March Q.
The diplomat who talked pri'
vately to newsmen said arms
seized in New Orleans were de
stined for one of the two uniden-
titled countries and were to be
J handed over to rebels.

MussoIiniDied Coward;s
Death, ExecutionerSa Says

He died without saying one
word to Petacci or trying in any
way t osave her.
HE died a coward"
Audisio said he had no inten-
ton Of killing Petaccl, but she
threw herself in front OF him."
Audisio said Petacc1 kept say
ing "Mussolini must not die" and
was in front of II Duce when Au-
disio fired five bursts from the
submachine gun.
No Sorrow
Audisio, who was known in the
underground movement as Col.
lValerio," said he felt mo sorrow
for having killed her. "You can't
dramatic the role of this woman.
Events yer superior to her
forces"
The 37-year-old bookkeeper said
he had no reaction when he re-
ceived the order to kill Mussolini
from the command Of the Volun-
teers Of liberty, a partisan move
mem, the night of April q, 1945.
Il am very cold in nature" he
explained. my only thought was
to organize the mission and carry
it out"
Upon orders Of the volunteers.
he also took the two bodies for
public view in the square Of Mi
Ian.
Fifteen Partisans. had been
killed there on the orders Of Mus
solini himself" said Audisio, ex-
planning that this public exhibition
was ordered so there would be
mo doubt that Mussolini was
dead.
He said he did not know that
the armistice terms called for
Mussolini to be turned over to the
allies.
Award Recommended
Audisio, who has been recon-
mended by Communists for Italy
highest military award, said he
would have preferred his identity
had not been disclosed.
He said he did not know if he
had received any threatening let
tiers as his secretary had instruc-
tons not to show him any such
letters.
A controversy has been raging
in the Italian press as to whether
all parties in the committee Of ma
tional liberation were agreed to
the execution, and whether the
Communists have satisfactorily
accounted for the Mussolini teas
ure seized at the time of the cap
ture.

cent or $3.50 of this amount would
be met by state and federal funds, leav-
ing the cost to the county at SLIGO.
And that is relatively small, consider
ing the value of the timber.
Forest fire control has made such
large contributions to conservation that
it is difficult to see how less than eigh-
teen hundred dollars annually should
keep New Hanover from participation
in such a worthwhile undertaking, It
is to be hoped, when further facts are
presented, that the commissioners will
see fit to place their county in a posi-
ton to better combat the greatest of
all forms of timber wastefulness in the
country today.
Investment of funds for retention
of forest fire wardens has proved sue
cessful in other Southeastern North
Carolina counties. All have this pro-
lection. In view Of our past fire record,
the time appears ripe for New Hanover
to at least give it a try.

Thoroughly Disgusting

Use of the labor strike reached a
new low in Cleveland recently when
three sons dug the grave for their
mothers body in defiance of a walkout
by American Federation of Labor grave
diggers.
And, worse still, three policemen
had to stand guard as the men spaded
up the soil to protect them from report
ed threats by pickets.
Respect for the dead is universal.
Yet, because of this i~ndefensible and
wanton strike, three grief-stricken
men were compelled to prepare their
mothers last resting place. Such tao
tics by a union damage organized labor
in the eyes of millions. But in authoriz-
ing the union to strike, the respon-
sibllity lies wholly in the hands of it's
leaders. It is quite apparent that they
let their determination for their de-
mands close their eyes to common
decency.
