ROME—Police officials denied in a communique_ Monday
that there was anti-Semitism in the clash Saturday in the Jewish
quarter between students and communists in the current election
campaign, but Jewish sources insisted Tuesday that the fascist-led
students had shouted_ anti-Semitic comments. About 100 stu-
dents, led by neo-fascist agitators, staged the demonstration.
The police communique blamed the clash on the fact that the
incident occurred in the Jewish quarter and added that "manifes-
tations of a racial character are absolutely excluded."
Jewish spokesmen said that the Jewish reaction to the anti-
Semitic provocation was perhaps stronger than the situation war-
ranted, but pointed out that a touchy atmosphere usually develops
in the Jewish quarter in the periods preceding elections.

The Chief Rabbi said that the neo-fascists and the students
shouted such phrases as "communists should be dealt with like
the dirty Jews were in the extermination camps."
Such challenges provoked an immediate reaction from
Jews in the section, some of whom tangled with the students.
Jeep-mounted police broke up the fighting.
Rabbi Toaff said that Rome Police Chief Di Silfano called
him to assure the Chief Rabbi of his determination to deal
vigorously with such incidents personally. The Chief Rabbi
said he was satisfied with the cooperative attitude of the highest
police authorities.
