ROME, Mar. 17.-Communists
delayed Italian adherence to the
Atlantic Alliance today by a fill
buster in Parliament. They also
churned up strikes in Milan and
Genoa in protest. 4
Strong police detachments were
thrown around government build
ings in Rome and the Central
Piazza Colonna, where authors
ties and demonstrators have
fought in the past. The piazza,
where rioting occurred Saturday,
was kept clear by police.
One death resulted among dem
onstrators at Terni. a steel city 10
miles northeast of Rome. Police
opened up with firearms on a
crowd protesting the alliance and
killed Alvino Trastulli. 81, and
wounded three others gravely, the
news agency Astra said. Ten po-
lice were hurt.
Communists and fellow travel
lers kept up their word battle in
the Chamber of Deputies all night
and into today. 1t already is the
longest filibuster on record in
Italy. Premier Alcide de Gasperi
has plenty of votes to assure ad-
herence of Italy to the accord,
once his solid Christian Demo-
cratic Party has the chance to cast
them.
Reds Broaden Strikes.
The Communicated Chamber of
Labor spread strikes-"spontane-
GUS" they were called-in the
Milan area. Streetcars quit run
ming. Nearly all plants in the in
dustrial suburban of Sesto San
Giovanni, sometimes called little
Stalingrad," were closed. On the
outskirts of the northern city,
police shot into the air to break
up fighting between demonstrators
against the alliance anl throng
angry because streetcars were not
running.
Factory workers, dockers and
seamen struck at Geona. Strikers

Some women Channel SWIM
