idea of finding out at Paris exact
ly what they mean.
2. Delay the proposed Paris
meeting while sending another
note to Moscow asking specifically
the Russian position regarding the
western conditions.
Observers believe the decision
would be to go ahead with the
preliminary meeting to avoid any
possible Soviet charge that the
Western powers had blocked a
conference designed to ease East
West tensions.
The idea of Big Four meet
ing of foreign ministers was first
suggested by Russia on November
3, 1850. The Soviet Union wanted
the ministers to discuss nothing
but German questions. particular
ly the subject of German rearma-
ment.
The Western powers rejected
this proposal and countered with
a suggestion that the foreign min
listers discuss other world problems
as well as the subject OF German
rearmament.

Asked for Lawyer.
To refute earlier testimony of
Joseph A. Ellis, jr.. the Secret
Service agent who first questioned
Collazo, that his statements were
voluntary. the 37-year-old Puerto
Rican said he asked for lawyer
twice. At another time, he said.

question I reminded them l

For time after his arrival at
the hospital, he said, he was
"drowsy and kind of sleepy"
Before Collazo took the stand
District Attorney George Morris
Fay put into the record, without
objection, a written statement
purportedly made by CollaZo to
the Secret Service. It was brought
out that he had refused to sign
the statement, but Agent Ellis
testified that Collazo had ad-
mited it was true and had in
itialed some corrections in the
statement.

Mr.. Ellis. Mr.. Fay emphasized

Presented in Detail.
Mr.. Ellis recounted in detail
his questioning of Collazo as the
Puerto Rican lay in Emergency
Hospital with a bullet wound in
his chest. He said Collazo showed
no hesitancy in answering ques-
tions and that the wounded man
appeared to be in full possession
of his faculties.
Mr.. Ellis quoted Collazo as ad-
mitting he and Griselio Torresola

He told Mr.. Ellis the reason was
"political-so my country could
be free"

Torresola, like Collazo Puerto

Crime Probers Hear
Recording Of Plot for
Underworld Revenge
BY the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, Mar. 1.-The
Senate Crime Investigating Com
mittee today had in the record a
wire recording of sinister un-
derworld plot to avenge the dyna-
mite death of Mrs. Herbert Noble,
wife of the widely -known-and
often shot at-Dallas (TexD gam
bier.
The testimony came last night
from Dallas Police 1t. George
Butler-last witness of the COM
mittee's two-day stand here.
Hearings start Friday at San
Francisco where lobbyist Artie
Samish, reputed secret boss of the
California legislature, will be the
star witness.
1t. Butler said the recording
was made March 9. 1850, at a
Dallas motor court. He said po-
lice had word that Harold (Ha)
Shimley was in town to effect
peace between Noble and Benny
Binion, ex-boss of Dallas million
dollar-a-year policy racket.
Unhappy About Publicity.
He said the Flamingo Hotel
crowd of Las Vegas, New, was un-
happy about the publicity that re-
suited from Mrs. Mobiles death
November 20, 1949. She had
stepped into her husbands car
an unusual practice-and was lit
orally blown to pieces when she
pressed the starter. The car had
been dynamite-rigged for Noble.
1t. Butler said the Flamingo
crowd is the Western headquar-
ters" for the Frank Costello gang
of New York.
Those Eastern mobs are itching
to get in South Texas" the hand
some peace officer drawled, where
even the poor oil millionaires will
drop 100000 night shooting
crap.
THE poor millionaires," he ex-
planned, "are those who have
SIS million or less"
The transcript pinned the death
of Mrs. Noble on a convict now
serving life sentence and three
convict pals. 1t added that 'the
boys" had connections to avenge
the death even behind penitentiary
walls.
Called "the Clay Pigeon"
Noble has been shot at nine
times in the last five years and
is still living-earning him the
tags "the Cat" and "the Clay
Pigeon"
His feud with Binion dates from
1945, 1t. Butler testified, when
Binion upped his take from Mobiles
policy game from Is per cent to
40 per cent.
Binion fled to Las Vegas in 1916
when a new chief of police and
district attorney took Office and
threatened to put the heat on,
1t. Butler added.
1t. Butler told how Binion still
runs the Dallas policy rackets by
remote control from Las Vegas. He
showed at least four recent $4,000
checks made out to Binion and
signed by Harry r. Urban. ST., of
Dallas. 1t. Butler said Urban
convicted last week of gambling
charges-was Binion's partner in
Dallas.
The transcript told of Binion's
remorse at the death of Mobiles
wife and how he had spent $4,000
trying to find the killers. The wire
recording disclosed how the finger
of suspicion was pointed at Binion
because of his known feud with
Noble.
But wire-recording of a phone
conversation between the two
enemies started like this:
Hello, Bennie, this is Herbert.
All right, how are you? Oh, I've
got a little cold"
1t. Butler said Shinley. the
Las Vegas emissary, was now in
the race wire business.
