Police Chief Says By The Vr.ited Press NEW YORK. June 14 Police Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine has distributed to police officials "documentary evidence" that the Italian consulate general in New York is allegedly promoting: Fascism in the United States through propaganda. Mr. Valentine handed to borough commanders and inspectors of the Criminal Alien, Sabotage and Bomb Squads a confidential memorandum listing alleged propaganda activities of the consulate with instructions to make arrests whenever and wherever necessary.

The memorandum was based on a survey "founded on documentary evidence" that "the officials of the Italian General Consulate New York, aided by their diplomatic immunity, are engaged in a stubborn propaganda. Secrecy Soujfht Police were warned against mak ing the contents of the memoran dum public. The police investigation was re ported ordered at the request of Federal authorities and was said to be part of a nation-wide drive against anti-national defense ac tivity. "The facts exposed demonstrate bevond the shadow of a doubt that the three organizations which have supplanted the old Fascist League arc as thick as thieves in me cus semination of the proprietary and natented remedies of the magic formula of the Fascist doctrine," the memorandum said. "Their activities are directed and controlled by the Italian General consulate of New York." These three organizations were described in.

the memorandum as "virgin vestaV w-hose activities are "as dangerous as those of any fifth column." Aims Outlined Their aims, "in the very words of the Italian General Consul in New York. Commendatore (Gaetano) Vecchiotti, consist in advocating through a continuous, stubborn propaganda the sacred rights of a foreign nation which is at war with! democracy and the type of self-; government ruling in America," the memorandum said. The memorandum said that in a speech before the Dopolavoro Dux, an Italian organization, last April 28, Vecchiotti "defined the duty" of Italians in the United States as follows "II Duce has condensed the duty of the Italians in these few words: Work and For us, Italians living abroad the word arms should signify a continuous stubborn prop aganda among the people of other races to clarify the sound Italian Fascist Aid Urged The memorandum said that the three purposes of the propaganda were support of the Fascist policy, advocacy through propaganda among the people of other races that democracy is unworkable and that, since the American system of government is "corrupted," there is need for "a good mechanic like i Mussolini or Hitler." I "Propaganda is to be used to have Italian-Americans rally around the 'virgin vestals' or cultural clubs soj that these Italian-Americans will! be united as massed platoons, ready to carry any appeal that Mussolini may make to them," the memorandum said. "It is to be remembered that the Fascist propagandists go after Italo-Americans of the lower income groups, especially those on relief and on WPA seeking to create an audience among people who take Mussolini at his word The Italian Consul General could; not be reached immediately for; comment and a vice-consul said he1 was not authorized to "make statements regarding any political matters."

Nugent, but had not been criminally assaulted. Two boys who live in the neighborhood surprised Dean almost in the act of stabbing his sister-in-law. Mike Stolitca and David Frances-cone, both 19, were sitting on the steps' in the rear of the beer tavern of Angelo Troggio. after returning from a roller skating rink about 12:15 a. m.

David said: "While we were sitting there. I thought I heard screams coming from the field but it sounded like a cat and I didn't pay much at tention to it." Youths Threatened A few minutes later they started home along the path through the field and were startled to see a man. crouching low, in front of them. "Get the hell out of here or 111 shoot vou." they said the man snarled. The frightened youths ran back to the tavern and State Motor Po lice were summoned.

Twenty minutes later Privates R. A. Klare and Ed Nagosky found the young woman's body in the tall grass a few feet from the patn. 150 yards from the road and about 300 vards from her home. She was lying on her back and had been stabbed seven times in the left side of the neck, twice on the right side, once in the heart, twice in the back, twice on the left side and had been slashed on the left thigh.

Weapon Not Found Officers had been unable to locate the knife Dean used. He said he didn't remember where he had thrown it. Dean was arrested about 2:30 a. m. at his home, where Stat Motor Patrolman R.

O. McCulIough said he found him in bed. He was taken to the office of Prosecutor Lamoree for questioning by State Police, County Detective Paul Welsh and Deputy Sheriff Clyde Bager. About sunrise he finally confessed and signed a statement which even officers said was not very clear as to motive. They quoted Dean as saying: "We were walking up the path.

Helen wanted me put off the road. I had a white handle knife. I hit Helen with it. I don't know where I threw it. I did this once before in West Virginia." Stabbed His Brother Officers said Dean had stabbed, but not fatally, his brother in 1923.

They were unable to explain what Dean meant by saying Miss Nasal wanted me put off the road' and Detective Walsh said he probably would be given a sanity test. Dean, six feet two inches tall and weighing about 185 pounds, was locked in the County Jail and will be formerly charged with murder today. He joked with reporters. Miss Nasal, daughter of Adam and Catherine Nasal was one of 12 children. She was dark-haired, about five feet, live inches tall and weighed about 130 pounds.

Her reputation in the community, officers said, was excellent. Dean and his wife were married in 1927 and have one son. Joseph, 13. News Stuns Wife It was several hours after Dean confessed before his wile learned about it. She was at the home of her parents when she asked: "Have they found out who did it?" "Your husband says he did," she was told.

Stunned for a minute, Mrs. Dean sobbed: "He couldn't, he wouldn't do such a thing. Why he has walked home with Helen dozens of times and he didn't even own a knife." Police said they found blood under Dean's fingernails and that he told tliem he had borrowed the knife from a fellow WPA worker. 1 DR.
