PITCHED BATTLE DEVELOPS IN ITALIAN CHAMBER
ROME, October 12.

The Chamber suspended its session for half an hour. The fight, began when Signor Togliatti, the Communist leader, referred to people killed in Imilia province after the war. The leader of the Italian Social Movement, Signor Girogio Almirante, thereupon shouted at the Communists: “Assassins.” A number of Communists immediately hurled themselves at the Italian Social Movement deputies. Other Communists formed a' dense bodyguard around Signor Togliatti. Ushers eventually managed to clear the chamber amid a clamour of bells and the shouts of the fighting deputies.
