BY the Associofed Press

NEW YORK, Oct. GA tall man
wearing an Army jacket casually
strolled up to a group of people
chatting on a Greenwich Village
stoop shortly before midnight last
night, drew a gun, fired a number
of shots at them, and then casually
strolled away-leaving two dead
and two others wounded.
Police said the man made his
escape easily as the crowds on Tenth
street, near Bleecker street, where
the shooting occurred, were thrown
into panic. People poured out of
nearby village nightspots when they
heard the fusillade. Women
screamed as the wounded lay writh-
ing on the ground while others ran
for cover.
The dead were identified as Patsy
Graziano, 10, an Army veteran, and
Mrs. Raffaela Passorella, 66. Police
said the woman, although wounded
in the back, might have died Of
shock or a heart ailment.

Top Officials Of Navy
Are Expected 10 Join
ForrestaI at Pentagon
By John A. Giles

Defense Secretary Forrestal
gradually is moving top officials OF
all major segments of the National
Defense Establishment into the
Pentagon, and present chances are
good that high officials of the Navy
will be moved there from World War
I temporary building on Constitu-
ton avenue, it was learned today.
Navy officials are reluctant to
make the move for one reason or
another, but Mr.. Forrestal is said to
be anxious to have them transfer SO
that they would be readily available
The Navy move still is under con-
sioeration, but no final decision has
been reached, a spokesman in Mr.
Forrestal's office said. A decision is
expected soon, however.
Space a Major Consideration.
A major consideration in connec-
ton with the move probably will
be space in the Pentagon. Already
Mr.. Forrestal has moved or is NOV
ing large number of defense boards
and agencies into the Pentagon, the
latest being the Munitions Board
which will displace the National
Guard Bureau.
One plan advanced for use of
the Pentagon was to allow the three
services roughly 30 per cent of the
space each, having 10 per cent for
Mr.. Forrestals Office and the other
top boards and agencies created by
the National Security Act of 1947.
To bring only the top Navy Of
flcials into the building, as now is
being studied, would require about
one-sixth of the space.
One thing being taken into con-
sideration by officials studying the
projected move of the Navy is
Whether, in case of an emergency
it would be we'll to have all oul
eggs in one basket, so to speak,
one official said.
Communications a Factor.
There is no doubt that the move
would improve the functioning ir
the top echelons, but whether thi!
would be offset by the poorer func.
tioning in the lower Navy echelons
also has to be considered" he added
The Navy has extensive communi.
cations facilities in the department
building on Constitution avenue
which would either have to be moved
at great expense or connected with
the Pentagon by relays.
The Pentagon, which cost $685..
1884, was completed in January
1943. 1t is three times the size o1
the Empire State Building and pro.
vides 1888, 900 square feet of usable
space.

U. N. Council Orders
Commission 10 Leave
Observers in Greece
BY the Assoeioisd Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, April
19.-The United Nations Secur-
ity Council ordered it's Balkan
Investigating Commission today
to maintain an on -the-spot
watch along Greece's troubled
northern borders.
Members of the 11-nation COM
mission, now in Geneva, were ex-
pected to dispatch observers to the
area Immediately.
The action was instituted after
the Security Council voted 9 to 0
last night to maintain representa-
tives of its Balkan Commission in
Northern Greece until the Council
could take further action on the
explosive situa ton.
The Council decision was cabled
Evening star., 1947-04-19

Ito the commission Immediately by
Secretary Genral Trygve Lie. The
commission is in Geneva drafting
a summary report on It's inyestiga-
ton of the Greek frontier region.
At the same time, the Council re-
jected Russia's demand for United
Nations supervision over the prof
fered American aid to Greece.
In effect, the Council agreed that
1T had no jurisdiction over Presi-
dent Truman's 100000. 900 aid pro-
gram for Greece and Turkey.
Poland alone supported the Soviet
Union in the first U. N. test vote
of Mr.. Truman's aid program, which
still awaits approval by Congress
The Russian proposal lost by a
vote of to 2, with five abstentions.
The Council also rejected a Polish
amendment to the Soviet proposal
which would have stipulated that
aid to Greece could not be used as
"a political weapon" On this vote
Russia alone supported Poland while
the other nine delegates abstained,
the amendment being defeated for
lack of majority of the whole
Council.
In plumping for his no politics
addition to the Russian resolution,
