CITY ELECTION
Rome, May 16 A bill granting:
women the right to vote in Italian
municipal elections has been adopt
ed by the chamber of deputies.
The measure, under the sponsor
ship of Premier Mussolini was ap
proved last evening after a debate
marked by lively scenes.
The communist deputy Greco
aroused the Ire of the majority by
expressing the hope that the day
would come when a communist
revolution would establish new
conditions under which women
would not be considered animals.
This precipitated a rush toward
the communist benches but a clash
was prevented by the sergeant at
arms.
The same deputy told the fas-
ciatl: "Your women stay at home
while ours work" causing such
an exchange of insults and threats
that the president of the chamber
had difficulty in restoring order.
Adoption of the measure came
after a speech by Moseolini in
which he replied to the commun
ists by declaring that the issue was
not of democracy or aristocracy.'
The premier did not think the
bill would open the floodgates to
the suffrage movement In Italy.
