ROME, Thursday, July 15-ifl-Riots
Oared and a general strike
spread throughout Italy early, to
day as communists reacted swift

assassination of their leader, Pal
mira Togliatti.
-A Sicilian law student shot and
dangerously wounded 'Italy's No. 1
'communist yesterday. Early today
doctors said Togliatti's condition
was "slightly improved after an
operation to remove two bullets
from his. body. He received three
bullet wounds just before noon as
he , was leaving the chamber of
deputies to buy ice cream.
Up to midnight, police reports
showed at least five persons had
been killed and more than 100
wounded, in street battles which
mushroomed all over the country
following news of the attack on
Togliatti.
As 'midnight passed, if was ap-

ad struck their hardest blow to
date at the moderate government
of Premier Alcide de Gasperi when
they ordered the general strike to
commence with the new day.
" But the anti-communist govern
ment stood firm. It. labeled the
strike call by the confederation of
labor a "political" demonstration
and announced. "rigid measures for
the maintenance of public order."
Even .before midnight it became
apparent that the strike, of indefi

Considering the extent of the
pre-convention r c v o 1 1 against
President Truman the, remark
able thing is that his control of
its proceedings was complete. The
platform conforms quite closely
-to his wishes and the vice presi
dential choice is one that will
be of his own making.'
Politically Truman has cast hi;
lot with the left wing of his
party, evidently playing, the old
strategy of .h I s . , predecessor:
counting on the "solid South" to
stay solidly with the democratic
ticket and courting the mass vote
of the northern cities. This is not
to say , that his choice was un
influenced by principle;,, but that
the political significance of the
moves Is apparent.
The platform plank on civil
rights, while watered down from
a positive endorsement of the
president's legislative program,
did not include the ."states's
rights' amendment sought by
southern delegates by a motion
from the floor. Outright repeal
of the Taft-Hartley law was ask
ed for In another plank, which
again supports the president
against the party conservatives.
While Truman avoided the ap
pearance of picking his running
mate the- selection was one fully
to his liking. Senator Barkley
comes from a border state. He
is well-liked by the southern
senators and he has been faith
ful to the white house incum
bent, whether Roosevelt or Tru
man, in his work as .a senate
leader and in his voting on sen
ate measures.
All-in-all the Truman luck
stayed with him through the
convention. For all the rebellious
ness of the southern colonels

Russia Objects
To Plan to End
Holy Land War
By Larry Haack
LAKE SUCCESS, July 14
Russia tonight suddenly objected
fV several key sections of the
American proposal ior ending vne
Palestine war. The Soviet stand
threatened to delay or even kill
the- plan for the security council
to issue a cease - fire order to the
Jews and Arabs.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Andrei A. GromykO raised his ob
jections and made counter - pro
posals just as the council appear
ed to be nearing a vote. The Am
erican plan had six affirmative
votes pledged but seven are need
ed and Russia thus appeared to be
in a position to force a series of
changes and deletions.
If accepted, the Soviet counter
proposals would eliminate Count
Folke Berhadotte from the picture.
The United States resolution pro
vides for the U. N. mediator to
supervise a truce of unlimited
duration and continue efforts at
mediation. Russia moved to strike
out all these sections.
CAIRO, July 14 -JPh A deci
sive battle for Jerusalem appeared
to be shaping up today around
Latrun where the Arabs have
plugged Jewish supply roads , to
the holy city.

Soviets Refuse
U. S. Demand to
Lift Blockades
LONDON, July M-WVRussia
refused tonight a United States
demand that it lift its blockade
of Berlin's land supply lines as a
prelude to negotiating the i Berlin
issues. 'I - .
A Russian note, replying to an
American note of July 6 which
demanded that the 'blockade be
lifted, was broadcast by the Mos
cow I radio several hours -after it
was delivered to the state depart
ment in Washington.
The Soviets said they do not
object to negotiating the problems
of four-power administration in
Berlin, but will not start such
talks "with the fulfillment of any
preliminary conditions. : Further
more, they said, they will negotiate
only if the talks concern the ad
ministration of all Germany, , and
not I Berlin alone. i . ,
I The Russian note complained
of the recent currency reform in
the western zones of Germany and
of the decisions of the United
States, Britain, France, Belgium,
and; Netherlands and Luxem
bourg to establish partial self
government in Western Germany.
As a result of these actions,
which the Russians tersned viola
tions of four-power agreements on
Germany, the United States, Brit

the "legal "basis' on which rested
their right to participate in the
administration of Berlin.
