ROME, (JTA) — Three young
Jews who were arrested along
with several neo-Fascists follow-
ing a clash between the two
groups, have been released. Jew-
ish leaders here had resented the
fact that the police arrested the
young Jews along with their
Fascist attackers.
The fight started when a
group of Italians insulted a
Jewish girl, 21-year-old Leda
Afrki, as she passed the
headquarters of t h e neo-
Fascist Movement of Avant
Garde Juveniles, on her way ,
home from a store where she
works, near that headquarters.
One of the • Italian youths, she
said, showed her a photograph
of an Italian member of Hitler's
Elite Guard, telling her: "This
is my father. Soon all Jews will
be deported and exterminated;
and you too will end in a cre-
•matorium."
Miss Efrati telephoned police
and her fiance, Sergio Ser-
moneta. The latter arrived with
a policeman and with two Jewish
friends to protect the girl. Sub-
sequently, during a fight in a
nearby cafe, Sermonetta and his
friends were beaten by a mob of
neo-Fascists. The police then ar-
rested Sermonetta, his two Jew-
ish friends, and four of eo-
Fascists.
