A 22-year old Italian Jew was killed here today during a clash between Italian policemen and American soldiers.
The youth, Anselmo Efrati, was fatally shot while trying to protect a fellow Italian from an American soldier, identified as Manuel Alonao, who was threatening a group of Italians with a pistol. Efrati, who escaped from the Germans three times, lost his entire family when the Germans deported them.
