MUSSOLINI HAS NARROW ESCAPE I Italian Premier Narrowly Escapes Maddened Ox Charge Benghazi. Libya. Mar. 15—(U.KPremier Benito Mussolini, between cheers from Italy's inoslent sub- ■ jects, received congratulations to- ! day on his narrow escape from I injury by a maddened ox which charged him. bellowing, as he reviewed a parade of farmers. Mussolini was at Cyrene, on his I tour on Libya’s new 1.100 mile 1 military road yesterday. He was standing on a tractor reviewing a colorful parade of peasants in ox | carts. One ox. maddened by j cheers, bolted from its cart. b-> I came entangled in its harness, ami charged Mussolini. The frightened animal had almost reached him. horns lowered, when powerful Air Marshal Italo Balbo, governor general of Libya, and others seized the horns. Peasants ran up and after a struggle threw the ox to the ground and tied its legs. Mussolini stood grim faced, I watching, and at the end reproved j the peasants for handling the ex carelessly. Today Mussolini visited the new ’ public works here and prepared to I proceed to Agedabia. Arae, and Philaendrum, where he and his; caravan of 700 motor cars and sup- , ply trucks will spend the night camping in the open desert. It has become apparent that Mussolini’s visit to Italy's first African colony has more than sur- , face significance. More evident i than bis mere inspection of the new road, extending along the coast from Egypt to Tunisia, has been j his bid to the entire Moslem 1 world. At every point, Mussolini has gone to the moslem mosque to re- j ceive the homage of Arab religious leaders and they have read to him messages expressing the gratitude of mosletns whether or not they are Italian subjects. In several ; instances Mussolini has made special gifts to mosques. Scores Are Killed In Two Explosions Manila, P. I. March 15—(UP)— Scores of persons, mostly women, killed and Injured today
