Mussolinifi Body Taken To Morgue

Italian Partisans» Con- tinue Vengeful Against Former Fascist Leaders.

By GEORGE BRIA

AIIILAN, April 30-—(AP) - The beaten. misshapen body of Benito Mussolini lay tonight in a rude wooden coffin in the Milan morgue while still-vengeful Italian par- tisans. moving against other‘ for- irier Fascist leaders. were reported already to have tried and executed Marshal Rodolfo Graaiani. Headquarters of the National Liberation Committee received an unofficial report that Graziani. former chief of staff of the Italian army and loser of the first Libyan campaign. hsd been sentenced this morning and the execution ecrri out immediate-l . but there was no immediate off cial confirmation. Demonstrations continued in Milan during the day as funerals were held for patriots who were killed in the revolt last week. However, the Prefect of the Milan region. acting upon instruc- tions by the Italian Government and Alled Military Authorities, issued a proclamation ordering im- mediate cessation of summary {udgments and arbitrary execii- ions. Violators of the order were warned that “Italian and A.M.G. authorities will adopt extremely severe measures." The bodies of Mussolini, 61-year- old former dictator and Fascist leader; his beautiful young mis- tress. Claretta Petooci; and 17 of his Fascist followers were re- moved to today. Car-

people when o suspend all cruelty arid leave justice to regular tribunals.

Later. to make the macabre sight to more of the crowds milling con- stantly‘ in thc square. the bodies were ung by the heels from the girder of a filing station.

The National Liberation Com- mittee issued a statement. pub- lished in the Milan preu. laylll! it had ordered the execution of Mussolini and his companions.

“Only by this clear break with the shameful and criminal past could the Italian people have been assured the committee is resolved to follow a straight course for the democratic rebirth of the nation. the statement said.

"Instead of answering him." the executioner was quoted as saying. "I told Petacci to come ahead and I oulied her by an arm."

The executioner said they walk- ed down a mule path toward a highway where an automobile was parked.

"I had planned to carry out the elrecirtlon at a place not far away.
