u. 5. Will Increase
|Air Force in Europe
By the Associated Press

FRANKFURT. Germany, Mar
2.-The United States will Sub
stantially" increase its Air Forces
in Europe within the next few
months, 1t. Gen. Lauris Norstad
announced today.
Gen. Norstad, commander of
United States Air Forces in Eu-
rope, made this disclosure in an
address before the Allied Press
Club of Frankfurt.
He refused to estimate how
many more American planes will
be sent to Europe, or where they
will be based.
THAT depends on the plans and
policies developed by Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower's Supreme Headquar-
ters for the Allied Powers in
Europe" Gen. Norstad said.
But, there will be an augmen-
tation of United States Air Force
units in Europe. That increase
is only step, but a substantial
one. These forces will be avail
able in a relatively short time

Dulles Sees Progress
In Giving Pacific Area
Sense Of Security

Progress toward building "a new
sense of security" in the Pacific
that will help to loosen the pres
ent hold of Communist despotiFm
upon it's captive world" is seen by
John Foster Dulles.
Liberation is a goal we must
never relinquish," Mr.. Dulles de-
clared In a radio address last night
reporting on his recent mission to
the Far East as President Tru-
mans special envoy to negotiate
a Japanese peace treaty.
He linked japanese peace
settlement with some kind of COL
lective defense arrangement in the
Pacific area as necessary steps to
create Sin Japan and related areas

Sees Example for World.
''That," he said, will help to
thwart the Stain strategy of con-
quering the West via the East.
and indeed it can so spectacularly
demonstrate the worth and capac-
ity of freedom that the example
will losen the present hold of
Communist depotism upon its cap
tive world"
| Mr.. Dulles said his negotiations
have now reached the point
where it ought to be possible to
draft the actual text of a Japa-
nese peace treaty which would
genuinely promote peace in the
Far East"
In Australia and New Zealand,
he reported, he found principal
concern about how to prevent a
recurrence of Japanese aggression.
He said it seems reasonable
| to try to meet the desire of the
Australian and New Zealand
peoples for an ending of their
apparent state of isolation in the
Pacific area through some ar
rangement which would make
clear that an armed attack on
them from any quarter would be
looked upon by the United States
as dangerous to its own peace and
security"
Receptive to Suggestions.
A Pacific pact" similar to the
North Atlantic Treaty was not
mentioned specifically by Mr..
Dulles. He said no decisions were
made but I'VE continue receptive
to proposals for adding to the
unity and strength Of the area of
which Australia and New Zealand
form part
Mr.. Dulles ruled out any idea Of

told jury in District Court today.
After United States Attorney
George Morris Fay demanded
death in the electric chair for
the 37-year- -old Puerto Rican,
Chief Defense Counsel Leo A.
Rover began his final argument.
Oscar Collazo is not gunman
not a murderer" Mr.. Rover said
''He is but a man intensely inter-
ested in the freedom of his people
That is not defense in this case
but it does bear on this mans
mental condition"
Had Chance To Kill.
He also said:
Our defense is not self defense.
We are not praising COLLAGE for
shooting at Officers Davidson and
Boring. We are using that fact
to show that he had plenty of
chance to kill those two men
when he walked past" the east
guard booth at Blair House. Mr..
Rover said he was not contending
that patriotism for Puerto Rico
is a defense in this case"
The f1rst-degree murder case is
expected to reach the jury of nine
women and three men late today.
In his final argument, Mr.. Fay.

contention that Collazo was part
of a plot to kill President Tru-
man, said only the courage of
the White House guards kept
them from carrying out their
plan"
Specifically, Collazo is charged
with the murder of Pvt. Leslie
Coffelt; also with numbering Pvt

petrate felony, and with two

felony resulting in murder is as
guilty as the actual slayer.
His companion, Griselio Tor

man who fired the fatal shots. He
died in the fusillade, and ColiaZo
was wounded.
The jury, as it will be charged
by Judge T. Alan Goldsborough,
will have these alternatives in de-
Gliding the mans fate:
