Anderson Asks Support
In Crop insurance Change
BY The Associated Pres!

Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
today asked farmers, members OF
Congress and farm organizations to
support drastic" changes in the

gram to cut its costs to taxpayers.
The call for aid was contained in
letters to Chairman Hope of the
House Agriculture Committee and
to other farm minded lawmakers.
The letters were made public by MIR.
Anderson's office. The Secretary had
a speaking engagement in Chicago
today.
II am convinced" Mr.. Anderson
wrote, that firm, even drastic, meas
ures must be taken to place the crop
insurance program on more busi-
nesslike basis If underwriting losses
are to be eliminated and administra-
tive expenses reduced in line with
the intent of Congress. ="
He reported that the cost of under
writing losses on crops since the
program was inaugurated in 1888
totaled about $70,000,O00. 1t is the
intent of Congress, he said, that over
a period of years premiums should
cover losses.

BY the Associated Press

Housing officials said today they
would try to obtain funds to COM
plete temporary housing projects
which have halted or are threat

money. ..-
They said the National Housing
Agency recognized both moral and
contractual" obligations to commu-

An agency official told reporter
a statement will be issued during
the day giving status of the $445,-
100000 Congress voted to aid mu-
inequalities and educational institu-
tions in construction Of temporary
housing projects.
1t was originally planned to build
200 900 family units, with local spon-
|sors providing utilities, site and
management Of the projects after
completion. Rising building costs,
however, have caused suspension of
some, and the money still left is
being concentrated on those approx
imately IS per cent or more COM
plete.
No Figures on Money.
Officials said it was not certain
whether Congress would be asked
to put up funds to finish the pro-
gram or whether they can be OBJ
tanned from another source.
Figures were not available on how
much additional money will be re-
quired, officials said, because no de-
cision has been made on which prof.
ects will be completed.
Disclosure that an effort will be
made to obtain more financing de-
parted sharply from previous policy
expressed by Dillon Myer, commits

ing Administration, which is re-

Mr.. Myer had said the agency did
not plan to ask Congress for ad-
ditional funds because any money
appropriated for housing henceforth
should go into permanent home
construction.
Laws Asked by Truman.
President Truman asked Congress
Yesterday for laws to rebuild the
"blighted (slum) areas of our cities
and to provide incentive for the in
vestment of billions of dollars OF
private capital in large-scale rental
housing projects.
Listing five major administration
policies, Mr.. Truman gave No. 8 pri-
ority to the housing shortage.

The Chief Executive also called
for the improvement of rural hous-

the construction of 100000 public
low-rent units.

was voiced by Chairman Wolcott OF

BY the Asseeiaisd Press

| GRAND GORGE. N. Y. Jan
They'll never get me alive" Al
phonse Rocco swore before he was
shot to death in his snowy hilltop
hideout near here. after a futile
flight following the New Year eve
camera" shooting of his former
wife in New York City.
Rocco met death last night under
an evergreen tree and full moon
lin Patchin Hollow, as he crouched
in sleeping bag taken from one o1
the two Catskill Mountain farm
homes where he gained shelter for
nearly 48 hours by brandishing two
pistols.
He fired four shots from his Ger
man Walther automatic as State
police and New York City detectives
waded through knee-deep snow to
surround him. Then Trooper James
H. Smith, after shooting at close
range, called:
Come on out, you skunk!"
Uphill Attack.
Rocco could not come out. A
bullet from one of the guns fired
by Trooper Smith, Corpl. Francis
Hilfrank and New York City Detec-
tive Henry Strauss had struck home.
One had smashed his nose.
State Police Inspector Charles La
Forge led the uphill attack over the
mile from the home of Mr.. and Mrs
Harry L. Lewis, where Rocco last
had been seen.
The Lewises, whose 2-year- -old son,
Richard, slept through most of the
shooting, admitted the lean, dark
fugitive in the. company of Frank
Naish, in whose nearby Broome
Center home Rocco had paced for
20 hours previously.
Rocco, leaving in the Naish garage
the automobile he had stolen from
a Bronx man, forced Mr.. Naish to
drive him to Grand Gorge shortly
before 10 pm, Saturday. Mr.. Naish
said he had gained the impression
Rocco planned to board bus. The
hunted man changed his plan, how
ever, and ordered Mr.. 'Naish to drive
him to the Lewis home, 8 miles
southwest of here.
Simply Twirled Pistols.
|. Rocco had met both families in
previous hunting trips to this Cats
kill Mountain area.
The terrified couples said Rocco
voiced no definite threats, but
Ftwirled his pistols menacingly.
He never mentioned the trick
shooting in crowded Times Square
subway of his former wife, according
to Mr.. Lewis, but he repeated over
and over:
IT was framed" and they'll never
get me alive
THE gun that inflicted the wound
that necessitated amputation of one
of Mrs. Rocco's legs was concealed
by Christmas wrappings. Pearl Lusk,
19, told police that Rocco, under the
pretence he was an insurance in
vestigator, had instructed her to use
the camera" to photograph hidden
jewelry he said Mrs. Rocco was
wearing.
50 Troopers Used in Trap.
Inspector La Forge, aided by Troop
c Inspector Carl Lawson, used SO
Troop c and Troop G men for the
trap. The inspector would not dis
close who had informed him of
Rocco's whereabouts, but observers
believed MIR. Naish had given the tip
when he finally left the fugitive at
the Lewis farm.

who seemed calm after the capture,
gave Rocco a ham sandwich and
some tea. When he fed, he took a

tion of the body under the moon
