According to the dispatches, the executions were carried out with machine guns, in reprisal for a bomb attack and street fighting earlier in the day in which 24 German gestapo officers and 14 Fascist militiamen were killed.
Dispatches said that the street clashes started when bombs were thrown and shots fired during a procession marking the 25th anniversary of Fascism. When patriots fired into the procession, it was said, Germans fired into a crowd and many women and children were casualties.
• Four hundred women and 700 men were arrested and those who could not produce identity card.., were summarily executed, it was said, and others were driven with blows from rifle butts to prison. Those who fell were shot, it was
asserted.
Later 300 selected as hostages were taken to the colosseum In trucks and machine gunned in groups, the dispatches said.
They estimated that more than 500 persons in all were killed.
Immediately after the procession was attacked, the Germans barricaded all streets, reformed ranks and after fierce clashes took control of buildings where partisans were holding out. All partisans or persons found with arms were executed immediately, the dispatches said.
The Germans announced that 10 hostages would be shot for every German after which all those arrested were held in a ring of machine guns in a station square while the weeding out was underway. A state of siege was proclaimed.

Churchill predicts greatest victory
LONDON, Mar. 26—(U.P.)—Prime Minister Winston Churchill said in a radio speech to the nation tonight that the hour of its greatest action was approaching, as the Germans already reeled before the blows of the Allied air forces and the Red army and as Japan showed definite signs of weakening.
In his reference to the “hour of action,” at the climax of his speech, Churchill said:
“In order to deceive and baffle the enemy, there will be many false alarms, many feints and dress rehearsals”—A reminder to the Germans that in the wetfrs and months to come they would never know at what hour the real blow was coming.
Revealing that the United States air force in Great Britain had now “definitely overtaken and outnumbered us in the mighty force they have established here,” Churchill said that the enemy, who had hoped to destroy the Allies with aerial power, was now reeling and writhing under the prodigious blows of British and American air power.
“Since I spoke, to you last not only have the Hun invaders been driven from the land they had ravaged but the guts of the German army have been largely tom out by Russian valor and generalship,” Churchill said.
Junior council

War Board asks for survey lists
Women working on the War Board organization survey should turn their lists in today, according to Patty Wiese, War Board chairman.
“We now need these women who have surveyed campus groups to work this afternoon compiling the lists and other information,” stated Miss Wiese.
The study was instigated a few weeks ago to determine the condition and membership of various campus organizations. The committee in charge aimed to find out what activities are available to students and what percentage of students are taking advantage of these opportunities.
Through the information gained, the War Board hopes to reorganize old groups and institute new ones so that a larger number of students will be represented in campus activities.
