Social Movement OMSD, Italy's
postwar Fascist party. drove
through the streets Of Rome's
former ghetto between the
ruins of the Roman Forum and
the Tiber River. The area still
has many Jewish residents.
Both cars were decorated
with party symbols. Several
pedestrians halted the cars.
Fighting with sticks and stones
broke out.
Party officials later said the
cars had strayed into the mar
row twisting streets of the
former ghetto by mistake when
the drivers lost their way. Left
lists maintained the cars had
gone. into the quarter to pro-
woke trouble.
Last night the Italian Social
movement had an election rally
across the river from the Jew
ish quarter. After the rally, a
string of six MSI-decorated
automobiles drove across the
Tiber and past the synagogue
on the river bank at the edge
of the quarter.
Youn Jews tSoned the cars.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-06-06

MSI officials declared the cars
were merely going home from
the rally and ony Skirted the
Jewish section. The independ-
ent newspaper Il Messaggero
suggested the cars would have
taken another route.
Police said the drivers of the
cars tried to aim their autos
into the stone-throwing Jewish
youths. Truckloads of Carabi-
nieri, on duty nearby following
the previous clashes, quickly
dispersed the skirmishing
youths with tear gas.
MSI circles charged most of
the Jews involved in the fights
were Communists. Many of the
Jews denied this, saying they
were reactlng as Jews against
what they considered a Fascist
provocation.
1T is inevitable" said Elio
Toaf, chief rabbi of Rome,
that after all the Jewish suf-
fering because of nazism and
fascism there will be violent
reactions to any provocation. Z"

are bound to fail. Instead they
are expanding more rapidly
than the Communist areas,
with the possible exception Of
industrial Russia itself.
The latest statistical report
of the Soviet Union indicates
other troubles are perhaps
troubling the bloc. The Soviet
Union has been offering crude
oil and certain types of steel in
Western Europe at prices sub
Stantially below what it has
been charging the East Euro
pean Communist states. Trade
within the bloc is worked out
on a bilateral price system. The
Soviet Union may fix a price
relationship with Hungary
which does not necessarily CO.
incide with the relationship
with Rumania.
On the optimistic side for the
bloc is the near completion of
"a huge pipeline to channel
abundant Soviet oil into the
Eastern European states-and
perhaps into the West as we'll
at sharply reduced delivery
costs. 1t could affect the whole
industrial picture for the Com
munist bloc.

by observers. The absence of
foreign ministers indicated for

only generally. But representa-
tives of the economic and trade
sections of each government
were present.
Omitted from the list was
Albania, the little country on
the Adriatic which has fallen
out with the Kremlin and has
been supported in its indepen-
dent stand by Communist
China.
Chief among the problems
facing the group was the con-
slant problem of agriculture.
Farm production has consist
emily fallen behind industrial
production in the bloc, by sharp
contrast with the Common
Market area.

hold budgets never very large.
But the increase will also affect
the pricing system in the whole
Communist bloc.
The aim of the operation
was to raise more money to
build fertilizer and farm ma
chinery plants and to pay
Soviet farmers more so they
will work harder on the CO.
operative and state farms.
Production on the cooperative
and state farms - essentially
government operations - has
consistently fallen far below
production on the little private
plots which each farm family
is allowed to farm for its own
needs and to supply the open
markets in nearby cities.
The Soviet Union is not alone
with its agricultural troubles.
Throughout the Communist
bloc farm production has not
kept up with comparable areas
In Western Europe.
In Poland an abnormally
wet, cold May threatens loss

grain crops. That spells hard
times as well for East Ger
many, which has had per-
sistent crop trouble and has

Worried by Common Market
One Of the biggest problems
facing the meeting is the Com
mon Market. whose increasing
power and self sufficiency has
begun to eat into markets nor

vakta and other Communist
countries.
The increasing power of the
Common Market has raised

Scattered Showers
Aid Cotton Crops

According to the Agricultur-
al Marketing Service of the
U. S. Dept. of Agriculture
scattered showers were most
beneficial to the cotton crop;
however, a few localities are
still in need of a good general
rain. Cotton plants are matur-
ing rapidly and early planted
fields have "set'. a good bot
tom crop. Lay-by is general
and field work consists pri-
marily of routine insect con-
troll measures.
Greenwood spot cotton trad
ing continues at a slow rate. A
few crop lots have sold recent
ly at 33. cents hoground, with
a January / deadline.
Domestic mill inquiries
were for new crop low grades;
however, offering prices res
tricted trading. No foreign
mill sales were reported.
At Greenwood middling l.
1/16 was quoted at 1925 cents
per pound on July 81. This
compares with $3.50 cents in
the preceding week. Reported
purchases totaled SIS bales for
the week ending July q and
compares to 765 bales for the
previous week.
