New York, May 31.-(AP)—Jeers, catcalls and shouts of “down with Mussolini,” caused by the presence of 200 Fascisti marchers, created a disturbance in New York’s Memorial Day parade. Mounted police charged and dispersed the disturbers whose ardor, undampened by the soft rain which fell on ceremonies throughout the east, at first threatened serious trouble.
