Italian Mass Meetings
Against De Casper
Below Expectations
w the Associated Pres,

ROME, sept. 20.-Reports from
throughout Italy tonight said the
Communist and Socialist inspired
great day of manifestation" against
economic conditions under Premier
Alcide de Gasperi's Christian Dem
ocrat government had passed quietly
and, in some cities, met with in
difference.
Most cities reported that crowds
which gathered at afternoon mass
meetings were smaller than expected
The audiences gathered quietly
and listened without much response
to speakers from several leftist
parties denounce the government,
then furled their red banners and
Italian flags, put their placards
bearing anti-government slogans
under their arms and, just as quietly
went home.
In frequently turbulent Naples.
the crowd of about 10000 began
to disperse before the final speaker
took the stand.
Little Excitement at Meetings.
In the leftist industrial cities of
Genoa, Milan and Florence there
was no excitement, although the
mass meetings attracted as many
as 100000.
Notably absent from speakers
platforms were Italian communism's
big guns, Palmiro Togliatti and
Luigi Longo, as well as pro-Com-
munist Socialist Leader Pietro
Nenni.
The orderly and placid gather
ings were contrary to expectation
after several government spokesman
had declared the demonstrations
were aimed at overthrow of the
government and Togliatti had as
serted the country was largely ripe
for revolution. Police precautions
against violence were light.
The Roman demonstrators carried
plaeards blaming the Christian
Democratic government for eco
.nomic ills.
Five Parties Represented.
1--WE are tired of a government
which protects spectators, hunger
for all or hunger for none this
eovernment-is it democratic? Is
it Christian?," the placards said.
Today's demonstrations occurred
on the anniversary of the end of
Vatican rule of the papal states in
1870, a date of anticlerical signif1-
canoe in Italian history.
orators from five leftist parties
and representatives of partisan and
war veteran groups addressed the
Rome meeting.
About 1000 supporters of the
Leftist Republican Party, who had
gathered separately in Piazza Ese-
ORA, marched into the main mass
meeting an hour after it had started,
good naturally singing and shout
ing party slogans. A band of red
shirted partisans led the republican
march.
Police precautions appeared much
less elaborate than on previous oc-
casioss when tanks and armored
cars, backed up with heavy forces
of mobile and mounted police carry
ing tommyguns, surrounded Left
Wing gatherings. Only light forces
of ordinary police were visible today
and. they carried only their usual
arms.

Togliatti was born in Genoa on
March 26, 1893. Now 81, he is the
youngest of Italys top bracket po-
liticians. Premier Alcide de Gasperi,
the Christian Democrat leader and
major obstacle in the Communists
drive to power, is Sc.
Born of a lower middle class fam
lily, Togliatti went to grammar and
high school in Sassari, Sardinia. A
conservative magazine recently
printed one of his report cards. He
had practically all "A's". He won a
scholarship to the University of
Turin, studied law and tutored on
the side.
First a Socialist, he became a
Communist when the Socialist party
split in 1921. Mussolini came to
power the next year, and Togliatti
soon was forced into hiding by the
Fascists. He changed his name to
Paolo Palmi, then to Erccle Ercoli
tHercules) by which name he was
known throughout the underground
period. Communists have now given
him another name-"u Migliore"
(the beSt).
He was in France, Switzerland
and Spain during the Spanish civil
war. He appeared occasionally in
Moscow during his exile where he
was reported to be a member of
the Comintern. From 1941 to the
Italian armistice in 1913 he broad
cast in Italian from the Moscow
radio under the name of Murio Cor
rienti.
Seeks Control by Elections.
He was unknown to most Italians,
however, until he returned to Italy
in the spring of 1943 and began
building the Communist Party into
the country's second largest.
Now claiming more than 1000 900
adherents, his goal is the conquest
of power Observation-Disclosures is
by elections. He has forced a close
alliance with one wing of the So
cialists, hoping to unseat the Chris
tan Democrats in the next general
elections next spring.
Little is known of his private life.
He is inaccessible to any one but
his. closest lieutenants. Few re-
porters have his private telephone
number, although Premier De Cas-
peri keeps his own listed in the
public telephone book.
He is said to live modestly, al
though seen occasionally in public
restaurants with his son.
He went to a luxury restaurant
in Capri in 1874, and, the story
goes, was asked by nobleman why
the head of a workers party dined
In such a place.
II know all the works of Marx"
Togliatti is said to have replied,
but in none of them have ever
read word that a Communist must
abstain from frequenting luxury

WAVELAND, Miss, Sept. 90
Waveland is gone for so years. Al
most everything near the beach is
destroyed.
I saw three bodies, and know OF
three others brought in at Wave
land. Two other people were miss
ing.
We expected the storm. OF
course, but didn't think it would be
SO severe, since the center was sup
posed to hit New Orleans. There
were few gusts when 1 got up at
6 am. 1t didn't seem so bad.
I went out and still didn't realize
the strength of the storm until ]
met a Mr.. Rutherford, who runs
the country poor house. He tod
me he needed help at once to get
the old people out of the home. He
said it was washing away.
Back Once Broken.
I'm only 80, but my back was
broken in glider pilot training
However, there was no one else to
go. So I went with Rutherford.
We had to chop a couple of trees
out OF the way, but we got there.
The water was inches deep. The
wind was up in terrific force by
then. Trees were cracking all
around.
We got the nine old people out of
the house and put them in my car
and Mr.. Rutherford's truck. The
storm had picked up and we could
hardly get back. We must have
seen thousand trees knocked down
But we got the old people to a
strong house on high ground.
Then l went to my place of bust
ness, an ice cream parlor, near the
beach. 1t was crowded with people
l asked them what was. wrong. They
told me the water was up at their
houses.
Hears About Own Home.
I suggested some of them go to
my house.
The waters up over my head
at your house." one man answered
l went right over to my house
about a block from the beach.
Everything on the beach was clear.
There were no houses-and what
was left of them was beating up
against mine.
My parents were in the house with
my sister, Mrs. Held Elgutter, and
my brother, William. It was a two
story house, and the water was
surging through the first floor. My
father is 80 years old and my
mother is "A.
Herman Mazarack-he was hero,
ne did some fine work helping peo-
ple-swam out and told my sister
to get on raft. The raft was
part of the wreckage. When I
arrived my sister was on the raft
crashing up the street. She was
bruised up a bit but got to dry
land all right.
First Efforts Fail.
I got a skift and my brother swan
out to help me-or, rather, he
was knocked around In my direc-
ton by the debris. But he's SO
years old, and the effort was too
much. got my nephew, Eugene
Sfocum, to help me.
We couldn't get to the house from
that direction, though and / had to
get another boat and go through q
back street.
My father and mother were sit
ting on a staircase. They got into
the boat and it crashed about.
Waves were 10 feet high. This
was the peak of the storm. Debris
was flying all around us. One piece
hit my father and cut his arm.
I wonder how we got through it all.
We just had to go about hundred
yards in the boat, but it took about
half hour. 1t, took about two
hours and a half for the whole
job of getting the people out of
the house. My nephew and 1
helped my father and Mr.. Mazarack
carried my mother on his back.
