(Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) ROME — Two battles between Jewish young men and members of the neo-fascist Movimento Sociale Italiano took place in the old Jewish quarter in this city Monday night and early Tuesday morning, resulting in the hos- pitalization of some of the neo- fascists. The fighting started early in the evening when two automo- biles carrying MSI electioneer- ing groups passed through the narrow streets of the old Jewish quarter. Young Jews attacked the occupants of the cars, beating them and causing their hospitali- zation. A few hours later, near mid- night, the MSI headquarters lo- cated near the Jewish quarter dispatched three more automo- biles with their followers. The caravan carried emblems of the MSI. The Jewish young men at- tacked again. This time the fight- ing was stopped after appeals for an end to the altercation by the Rome Chief of Police and by Chief Rabbi Elio Toaff. Strong police units guarded Wednesday all approaches to the midtown district of the former Jewish ghetto in Rome as an aftermath to two days of violent clashes be- tween neo-fascists and Jews. Several Jews were held for questioning and most of them were promptly released. Six persons described as rightists were hurt and one Jew was ar- rested on charges of resisting authorities. Police planned special pro- tection for the synagogue until after the municipal elections are held Sunday. - The agitation in the Jewish section eased Tuesday but the atmosphere remained tense. The Jewish community issued a statement that "violent re- action" of Jews to any provoca- tion was "inevitable" after what the Jews had suffered at the hands of fascists and nazis. The statement also lauded the "tact" shown by police in quell- ing the battles. Jewish community leaders said that the neo-fascist propa- ganda in the ghetto section was clearly provocatory. The Jews said the rightists shouted anti- Semitic slogans and that a shot was fired from one of the cam- paign cars. Angry Jews attacked and mauled the campaigners. Later Monday evening there were more such clashes. Toward midnight several hundred Jews, most of them youngsters, marched to the party offices of the Italian social movement and more scuffles followed. The area of the clashes is a lower middle class district which was once the compulsory dwelling place of Rome's Jews. Most of its residents are Jews. About a third of Rome's 12,000 Jews live in the old ghetto. to Report on Steps to Counter Arab Bias (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) WASHINGTON — Republican Senator Jacob K.
