FIVE TO 30 YEAR TERMS FOR “INJURING” ITALY Unfriendly Newspapers Suppressed as Well as Organizations Against Present Regime. By the Associated Press. ROME, November 5. — Sweeping measures to protect the Fascist regime from the activities of its ene- mies were approved today by the cabinet, sitting under the presidency of Premier Mussolini. The ministers adopted a provision making plots against the life, liberty and integrity of the premier and members of the royal family and plots against the government and state punishable by death. They also approved penalizing by imprisonment, varying from five to more than 30 years, any effort by an Italian or foreigner to injure Italy in fact or by propaganda. Membership in any organization against Fascism also will be punish- able by heavy imprisonment. Nearly a dozen specific acts relating to direct or indirect activities against the regime will render the offenders liable tion from public office. Italians Cannot Leave. All passports allowing Italians to leave the country are annulled, with heavy penalties for attempted evasion. Other provisions are: Revocation for an indeterminate period of the licenses of all news- papers antagonistic to the regime. I Dissolution of all clubs and asso {tions suspected of being anti-Fascist. Institution of police dead lines for persons suspected of antl-Fascism. Inauguration of a service of special political investigation at the head- { quarters of every legion of the Fas- cist militia. Judgment of the aforementioned crimes is intrusted to special courts consisting of representatives of the army, navy, aeronautical corps and the Faseist militia. The number of the | courts and the control of them will be in the hands of the minister of war. The law goes into effect immediately, and lasts for five years. Officialdom 1s Guarded. The cabinet also approved extension {of the law on bureaucracy for another {four years, thus keeping officialdom |absolutely free of- ant{-Fascist ele- ments. Te law will also be amended {toward tfils end. {"Among the new crimes and penal- ties are the following: Conspirators against Fascism, b to 15 years: instl- | gators of plots, 15 to 30 years: insti- | gation or support of anti-Fascist ac- | tivities through the press, 5 to 1 ars; formation of illegal societi 3 to 10 years, and membership them, ? to 5 vears, with perpetial interdiction from ‘public offi Avy sort of anti-Fascist propaganda wiil he considered equivalent to such | membership. ¥ ! i Propagandizing or spreading false rumors tending to hurt the abroad, 5 to 15 yvears, with loss of citizenship and the confiscation of | property.

By the Assoclated Press ISHPEMING, Mich., November 5. The honeycombed workings of a num- ber of abandoned iron mines today were lending a helping hand to the men engaged in the difficult work of recovering the bodies of the miners entrapped in the cave-in at the Barnes- Hiecker mine here Wednesday. The seeming impossibility of the task of ever clearing the flooded pit took on a more encouraging aspect late last night when the water which filled the shaft began receding of its own accord. Mine engineers ex- pressed the opinion that the water had broken through to underground | cayerns of adjacent worked-out iron Shortly affer midnight the waters in the main shaft had dropped to 400 | { feet from the surface and were still receding. The entire district is honey- | | combed with these huge caverns, and | | officials are hopeful that the waters | {may be drawn off by this method in such quantities as to clear the first | level, where it is believed many of the 141 vodies unaccounted for may be | found. But even with.this unforeseen aid, | the task of recovery remains a most difficult one. As the water receded it was revealed that the main shaft had | been stripped of all its bracings by the rush of water and sand and was par- tially filled with timber and other wreckage. New bracing apparatus must be con- structed to prevent slides and a new | elevator installed before the men can | penetrate to the first level. Soundings have revealed that this level is clogged with sand, and if an entry is made | into it the workers must dig out any | bodies that may be buried there. This will consume weeks or months, | officials of the mine fear, but never- theless they are going ahead with the work and have announced their de- termination to bring to the surf: for proper burial the bodies of the tims.

The plan is being worked out by Mr. Eldridge as a means of forcing motorists to renew thefr permits, Tired of appealing to the drivers to come to the Traffic Bureau and vol- untarily renew the cards, the traffic director said forcible methods are now the only recourse. Only 45,000 of the 150,000 outstand- ing permits have been renewed thus far, according to the traffic director. Under the proposed staggered system, all old permits will be called in ac- cording to number. If they are not renewed by the date fixed, they would | expire and the driver would be liable to arrest for using a ‘“dead” permit. ——— BANK ROBBED OF $75,000.
