In the next fortnight voting took place for the city council and the 'communes' (local coun- cils) in the area. The results showed clearly that the workers and peasants were determined to fight on. Fifty-three of the 61 'communes' were held outright by the Socialist Party and in Bologna itself the party gained 58 per cent of the votes and held four- fifths of the seats on the city council. Even more importantly, the majority of the Socialists elected were communists-supporters of the revolutionary faction in the party which was soon to form the Italian Communist Party.

The Socialists planned a mass demonstration for November 21 (a Sunday) when Ennio Gnudi (a railwayman and a communist supporter) was to be installed as mayor. • But even before the voting was completed there were signs that embold- the extreme right-wing •ened by the betrayal of the fac- tory occupations, were not going to accept the Socialist advance.

'Whether the Socialists win or not, 'declared. the monarchist 'Il Resto del Carlino', 'the red flag will not over Palazzo d'Accursio' (Bologna's city hall).

Encouraging the fascists' pro- vocations of the previous months the Catholic Church's 'L'Avve- nire d'Italia' described them as a 'necessary evil' to hold the red threat. And when the results were clear Mussolini's fascists dis- tributed a leaflet: 'We shall not tolerate this insult. ... On Sun- day [the day of the Socialist demonstration] women and all those who love peace and quiet should stay at home. There will only be fascists and Bolsheviks on the streets of Bologna. It will be the test. The great test of the name of Italy!' • The fascists were the leading element in the anti-communist Liberty Bloc': 'Peace and shoulder to shoulder with them liberals, landowners stood churchmen, employers' and associations, and nationalist 'veterans' associations'. The 'Bloc' plastered the city with a poster headed. "The Communist is the enemy to be taken at all costs'. On November 21 thousands of workers gathered in Piazza Nettuno, the main square.

On Wednesday this week it that Mr Gavin reported a Kennedy has been appointed to work on the trade union com- mittee of the European Move- ment, a pro-Common Market body. Kennedy was once 'associated with a publication of Trotskyite "Keep Left" ' reputation, says "The Times', referring to the 1961 period. What 'The Times' finds inter- is that this renegade's esting new boss, national organizer of the European Movement, is Alan Lee Williams, who, in 1961, was the Labour Party's National Youth Officer.

After basic disagreements on • policy and conduct of on the struggle against the right 'wing, replaced he was as nominee by Sheila Torrance, who was duly elected in April 1963.

She later became National Secre- of the Young Socialists, tary after their exclusion from the Labour Party, and is today assistant secretary of the Social- ist Labour League. Kennedy immediately dropped «Keep " Left' all connection with and all sympathies with Trotsky- ism and drifted rapidly to the appeared at right. He soon surrounded by a double were , cordon of armed A militiamen. strong force of armed fascists broke through the cordon-with- out any great difficulty-at the moment when Gnudi stepped for- ward on a balcony overlooking the square. One of the fascists fired three the balcony. revolver shots at This was immediately followed by firing from the militia and the crowd confusion of as unarmed workers tried to escape from the bullets. Soon fascists and militiamen some firing at random into the were crowd. Ten workers were left dead.

But the city's trade union leader- ship, still dominated by the reformists, refused even to call strike action against the mass- acre. Cowardice Some of them fled • the city immediately and others even called for the resignation of the City Council! Their cowardice was to be repeated throughout the area in next few months as the the fascists made it the testing their terrorism ground of and smashed up the systematically workers' and peasants' organiza- tions example to the as an labour movement in the whole of Italy. The experience of Bologna and the factory occupations - the need for a revolutionary party to carry forward the fight against a fight for workers' fascism to power-could only be grasped by Marxists.

This careerist renegade from Marxism is now 'an industrial relations consultant and lecturer, and a keen European'. He is also Labour candidate for Chelms- ford. As for Williams, he was one of the first deposed Labour MPs last June to find another job.

About Kennedy's past activi- ties he says: I spent some time collecting information on him in order to get him expelled.' Here is the testimony of a self- confessed bureaucrat and witch- hunter. Of course he not was 'collecting' as a hobby, but as part of his job, under the direc- tion of his superior, the late Mr George Brinham, and the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party. This, of course, gives the lie to all the denials that there was a witch-hunt in the Labour Party.

The agency service was actually used as a detective service to compile Young dossiers on Socialists, in the years when mounting unemployment and the decadence revealed in the Pro- fumo crisis were providing the for leading conditions a mass movement to defeat the Tories decisively.
