for producing arms too quickly and

The plant that jumped the gun
on defense needs is Ansaldo OF
Genoa. Ansaldo's labor rolls are
controlled by Communists, but IL

Plan aid.
The weapons Ansaldo produced
today included one mountain
cannon, one anti-aircraft gun, two
heavy machine guns, so machine
guns, SO rifles, so cases of light ano
100 cases of heavy ammunition
one case of timed explosives ano
800 grenades.
These arms came out of An
saldo only a few hours after ECA
worldwide boss William c. Foster
visiting Rome, exhorted the Ital.
ians to speed arms for defense.
Ansaldo's arms were free, too
costing nothing to either the
American or the Italian taxpayer
What made this miracle of fasi
production embarrassing was thai
the arms did not come from the
assembly line, but from the fac.
tory's cellar. They were bidder
there apparently by Communis
workmen in anticipation of gen.
eral uprising timed with Sovie-
army invasion.
Well-oiled and ready for firing
the arms were accidentally dis.
