SACCO-VA -VANzETTI FIGHT GOES ON
Appeal for Rehearing Made to
 Massachusetts Court

Boston, May If LHD -- The cele- brated -Vanzetu murder case which, because of international in- terest by radical organizations. has attracted world wide attention, en- tered new phase today.

 Thompson's move took the prose- cution by surprise. IL had been an- nounced yesterday that Judge Webster Thayer would sentence Nicola Sacco and Rarto'omoo Vau- zetti to the electric chair on Satur- day.
 The defense also made public plans to seek an entire retrial Of the case.
