The dead gunman Torresola, i'd
entitled by the Secret Service, was
shot through the head from ear to
ear. He was described as a young
man from 1915 Ward Drive, New
York. In his pocket were two let
ters from Pedro Albizu Campos,
leader Of Puerto RicO's violently
anti-U. S. Nationalist Party.
The injured gunman was Oscar

COlIazO's Wife drilled
In New York, Mrs. COllazO said
her husband belonged to the Ma

Puerto Rico was put down this
week with a loss of more than 80
lives.
Puerto Rico is a possession of
the United States, but elects its
own local officers and governor.
The Nationalist Party has said
it started the revolution in an at
tempt to get independence. Gov.
Luiz MunOz Marin has described
the rebels as members Of "a con-
spiracy against democracy helped
by the Communists.
Mrs COLLAGE said Of herself and
husband:
I'VE voted for Roosevelt and
Truman because they promised us
/ independence and we did not gel
it. Roosevelt is dead so we can;
blame him. We are both National
lists"
She said her husband polished

The connection between Tore
sofa and COllazo was not immedia-
tely made clear. But in one Of the
letters, Campos, the revolutionary
leader, told TorresOla:
IF for any reason it should be
necessary for you to assume the
leadership Of the movement in the
United States. you will do so with
out hesitation of any kind"
And COllazO told Secret Service
agents:

5-Year Sentence
For Juvenile Abuse

Continued from first pagel

reconsidered.
Judge Keith ordered that the
girls, on the basis of abandonment
and neglect of them by the mother.
be committed to their maternal
grandparents in New York.
The sequence of events in the
case as outlined following lengthy
investigation is:
Flood moved to the Westville
location last March while the chill
dfen's mother, Mrs. Gerta Brennan,
remained working in New York,
sending money to Flood and visit
ing at his home occasionally.
In June, the mother took the
children from her parents, to
whose custody they have now been
restored and entrusted them to
Flood, while she continued to live
in New York and pay visits to
Flood and the children on occa-
sion.
Flood was abusive and domineer-
ing, particularly toward the older
girl. The nurse at Caesar Rodney
School found severe black and
blue marks on the older child and
by questioning learned of the mis-
treatment both were undergoing.
The older girl also still bore
marks of lighted cigarettes obvi-
ously pressed vigorously against
her arm in three spots.

COL. BULLS AT
ROTARY MEET
Gives Resume of Mental Heal
tn Program for Delaware
on Mental Hygiene
TO TOUR UNITED STATES

Col. H. Edmund Bulls, executive
director, Delaware State Society
for Mental Hygiene, and originator
of human relations classes, gave a
resume of the mental health pro-
gram since 1881 at the meeting of
the Smyrna Rotary Club Thursday
night. The people of the nation
are becoming nervous over local,
state, and national matters, he said
and it is necessary to help boys and
girls meet the times to come.
Mental health is necessary to COM
bat the issues and to build a resist
ance to meet the problems as they
arise, the speaker continued. BY
mental and medicinal education
many causes can be remedied and
the physical being preserved, he
stated. According to the speaker
the program on human relations,
as taught in the Gov. Bacon Health
Center, is attracting attention from
leading educators all over the Unit
ed States. How to live with 9TH
ers, the ability to make decision, to
compromise, to be leaders, all come
through mental health; to block
the emotions of self security, eva
sion of economic distress, recogni-
tion, and self protection causes
fear and anxiety, he said in conclu-
sion. Col. Bulls will tour the
United States during the summer,
teaching at various university
classes in human relations. James
Everhart was chairman of the ev-
ening program. Nelson Everhart
responded ard thanked the speaker
on behalf of the club for his ad-
dress. Reynolds Pratt presided and
announced that the club assembly
would be held Monday, May % at
