Death For
am a. . il
: WASHINGTON Wt The U.S.
Court, of Appeals Thursday unani
mously upheld the conviction and
death sentence of Oscar Collaso,
Puerto Rican fanatic who tried to
assassinate President Truman 16
months ago.
Collazo's Puerto Rlcan compan
ion and a White House guard were
killed during; a. furious gun battle
louRht on the steps of Blair House,
temporary home of the President
at the time of the shooting on
Nov. 1, 1950..
The 37-year-old Collaio was
charged with murder although it
was determined that the bullet that
killed White House Guard Leslie
Coffelt came from the gun of Grls
ello Torresola, Collazo's compan
ion. Torresola was shot to death when
Presidential guards opened fire on
the Puerto Ricans. Collazo was
wounded during the assault. So
were two other - White House
guards.
The : law Drovldes that every
member of a group convicted of
committing a felony that results in
murder Is subject to a charge of
first degree murder and punish
able by death.
Collaao's court-appointed attor
ney appealed the conviction im
posed in district court by contend
ing there were a number of errors
in the handling of the trial.
The three-judge Court of Appeals
said It found no error in the trial
and noted "in accordance with our
custom in capital cases, we have
examined the entire record to as
certain whether in our view errors
were made which were not called
to our attention by counsel for the
appellant."
"We found none," the Appeals
Court said. "The Judgment of the
district court must be affirmed."
The opinion was handed down by
Judges Pinbrough Stone, E. Barrett
Prettyman and Charles Fahy.
Collazo still has two chances to
escape the electric chair. The su
preme court could reverse the con
viction or Mr. Truman could com
mute the sentence.

grand Jury in New York city is
making an anti-trust inquiry into
the radio and television manufac
turing Xield.

the Justice Department in response

details.

that the Department had begun an
investigation to determine whether
there was any conspiracy among
television -receiver manufacturers
in relation to the long fight over
color television.
Officials acknowledged that sub
poenas have been served on some
major set-makers.

VIENNA, Austria Wl The Unl
ted Slates, Britain and France
are examining new proposals to
Russia for a peace treaty with
Austria.
Tills move possibly mav be de
signed to get a clear Idea whether
the Kremlin intends to start a war
in Europe-
The announcement of the three
Western powers was Uie first step
toward proposing to Russa that
the four powers sign an abbrevia

Veterans who sell their homes
and let the purchasers assume the
4 percent G.I. loans remain per
sonally responsible for the Dav
ment of the loan, according to the
veterans Administration.
The VA has cautioned World War
n veterans not to sell their prop
erty without making certain lhat
their interests are protected. The
Dest way to ao that, tne VA said
is to have the purchaser pay cash
or arrange a loan in his name.
The VA pointed out that prop
erty is more easily sold with the
favorable 4 percent G.I. mortgage
remaining m enect a factor that
should influence the selling price.
However, a veteran selling his
property with the G.I. loan intact
runs . the - risk of later having to
pay all or part of the debt result
ing from a default by the new
owner. '
Should the new owner of the
property fail to keep up the mort
gage payments, the holder of the
G.I. mortgage can foreclose.
When the proceeds of the sale
resulting from the foreclosure do
not cover the amount of the G.I.
loan outstanding, the difference
may remain a debt against the
veteran. The VA has to pav the
holder of the mortgage for the
guaranteed portion of the debt.
The veteran will then owe the
government the net amount of that
payment, plus interest.
Veterans faced with the problem
of foreclosure on property they
have sold with the G.I. mortgage
in effect can obtain assistance and
advice from their nearest VA re
gional office.

rroiongca negotiations on a trea
ty were broken off In London 14
months ago.
Thursday's declarations sought
to Pin down blame for the present
stalemate and called on Moscow to
honor a 1943 agreement which
pledged a free and independent
Austria.
The "new proposals" being ex
amined were not further identified
In Washington. But informed diplo
matic officials have indicated they
involve a Western proposal lor an
abbreviated treaty.
The Russians would have three
choices to make.
1. Thev could accept the pro
posal. This would be a far-reaching
indication of peace.
S. Thcv couM reject the proposal,
but nevertheless keep the six-year
talks on a complete treaty going.
In this case the West would not
worry. Western diplomats here fig
ure this would mean Russia's Im
mediate Intentions in Europe, at
least, are peaceful.
3. They could reject the pro
posals and split tiny Austria be
tween East and West, as has been
done in Germany,
Dinlomata hem sav tills would
be a clear indication that the
Kremlin is ready for war.
They reason thus: The Russians
as a matter or local policy ao not
want to see Austria split.,
A divided Austria would have no
political value to the Russians.
Economically, a decapitated Aus
tria would leave the Eastern part
without electrlo power to operate
is factories.
Militarily, Russia would gain no
advantage since she already has
44,000 troops In her Eastern sone
as a springboard.
Smaller contingents of American,
British and French forces are sta
tioned in Austria.
Therefore, if the Russians force
partition it is part of an overall
policy in which the Russians are
ready to risk conflict.
