Space in Public Cemetery
Sought for Body of Man Who
Once Aspired to Be Caesar
. By James E. Roper
(United Preae War Correapondent)
Milan. Mav 1 (Ui?) Casket No. 167, a plain wooden box
containing the patched-up corpse of Benito Mussolini, lay
in a Milan morgue today while officials hunted for room to
bury it in the public cemetery.
"Mussolini will be buried in the Milan cemetery, wherever
there's a place for him," said an olhcial. lie added that the
dead dictator would be accorded neither special honors nor
special insults.
Partisans said the funeral of the man who loved pomp
and ceremony so much would-
Tanks Herald the Assault
be a simple one. It was suhed
uled tenatively for today.
The brain had been removed
from Mussolini's body, and
criminologists were examining it
to see what made him tick.
Undertakers did their best to
repair the damage done Musso
lini's corpse, which had been
stoned, kicked, spat upon, and
shot at by the Milan mob In two
days of unparalleled crowd hysteria.
They built up his face so that
It had regained some of Its old
time arrogance. His mouth was
stuffed to hide the loss of his
teeth which had been kicked out
beean here last week. When the
Germans filed from the notel, a
crowd of thousands spat upon
them, hissed, and shook their fists,
Some partisans leveled their
rifles.
Is I'renzletl Day
It was a frenzied day for the
Milan bombs. They were their
most savage and sadistic while
the bodies of Mussolini, his young
mistress, and four of his fascist
followers hung from the gasoline
station rafters. Wires were twist
ed around the ankles of the corps
es and attached to the rafters.
The mob beat and kicked Mus
solini's face into a blood-sotted
mass. Someone shot him in the
back. His teeth were kicked out

by the mob. A routine autopsy His lamous jutting jaw aroppea
was performed yesterday because "' '"'
no doctor had attended the dicta
tor's death before a firing squad
After examination, his body was
sewed together roughly.
Rests On Sawdust
Fittingly, the body of the "saw
dust Caesar" rested on sawdust,
loosely thrown in the bottom of
the coffin. He was nude and his
blood-soaked uniform was tossed
on top of him.
' In casket 165, still next to him,
was the body of Clara Petaccl,
covered by the crimson stained
skirt and white blouse in which
she had died. Her clothes had been
partly torn off while her body and
Mussolini's were hanging, heads
down, from the rafters of a
burned-out gasoline station.
Casket 166 bore the remains of
former fascist party secretary
Achille Starace, who was executed
yesterday in Loretto square in
view of the dangling bodies.
The partisans asked Starace
whether he wanted to be shot in
the front or back. He replied in
the front. They promptly shot him
in the back. ;
Prison Stormed - '
With the bodies of Mussolini
and his mistress out of reach of
their fury, the Milan mob stormed
Vittore prison, howling for the
life of Marshal Rudolfo Graziani,
fascist minister of war and com
mander of the Italian fascist army
still resisting in north Italy.
However, partisans turned Gra
tlani over to Col. Norman Flske,
of Portland, Ore., of the allied
commission. The martial was tak
en to fourth corps headquarters
outside Milan to be held as a war
criminal. .
Fiske also accepted the sur
render of 150 to 200 SS troops,
including their general, who had
been barricaded in the Hotel Re
gina since the partisan uprising

Most important matter discus

that he would make this his head

friends, praised the spring weath

Well, Now: -
Believe it or not two serious
minded souls have indicated that they
misunderstood my innuendo (that's a
four-bit word meaning an insinuation of
discredit), and thought I was really seri
ous when I "spoofed" a little about the
Pontiac.
I have always believed that ad
vertising of the type we can do now,
should be interesting or entertaining, or
both. And also I firmly believe that
there should be as many smiles as pos
sible in the world.
In these little ads we at least try
to help you feel that everything isn't
wrong in the world although the way
trouble hangs on it might seem so
at times. We will continue to try to keep
our name and product before you and
do it so we will both have a little fun,
you in reading it (we hope), us in
writing it (we know).
So folks, the thing to do is to
keep reading these corny little items
and some day we hope to give you that
big surprise you have been waiting for by
telling you we have a nice new Ford
V-8, Mercury or Lincoln for you with your
name on it it (if you want it that way).
The main thing is keep smiling,
it's good for the face, disposition and
digestion, and any day now we may run
another innuendo (brother, don't you
love that word).

May day as Child Health day.
May day became Child Health
day in 1923. Its importance was
officially recognized in 1928 when

proclamation designating May 1
as a day on which all groups in
terested in bettering conditions
for children might unite and re
deillcate themselves to help build
"better children for our nation;
a better nation for our children."
May day programs have empha

I Immunization against diphtheria
of young workers was the theme
in 1943. Teen-agers themselves
met on May day 1944 to explore
possibilities for improving health
conditions in their own commu

For 1945, the Child Health day
spotlight swings to infants and
babies again. It highlights the im
portance of "A Birth Certificate
for Every Baby in the U.S.A."
A birth certificate is a mighty
important scrap of paper. It
makes known who you are, and
when and where you were born.
It is the first step in planning
and organizing child -care pro
grams. It signifies our country's desire
to protect the rights of every
single human being born within
our boundaries.
Its presentation is the most
satisfactory and convenient way
of proving that you are the proper
age to go to school, to work, to
marry, to hold office, to claim social-security
benefits. It is the
easiest way of proving citizenship
upon application for a passport. It

of the census lists more than 50
situations in which birth registra

later in a citizen's life. For ex
