Decentralization
Money Refused
By House Group
By Joseph Young

The House Appropriations Com
mittee today rejected the admin
istration's $40 million decentrali-
cation request to move agencies
with 10000 employees to other cities
throughout the country.
In reporting the third supple
mental appropriations bill for 1851,
the committee declared that no
money should be provided until
the administration presented an
overall plan for consideration,
The committee also said the de-
Capitalization request contained
numerous legislative provisions for
which authorization should be Sc
cured from Congress in the usual
way before any money is given.
The committees action virtually
kills the decentralization program
for the time being, since Congress
can be started until Congress
votes the necessary funds, and the
House group is the key unit in
this respect. The Budget Bureau
had submitted a proposal for the
moving of various agencies with
4,842 employees here to other cities
throughout the country within the
next few months.
14,2OO Others Also Involved.
1t also was proposed to move
another 14,200 employees out of
Washington to other cities by
June 80, 1852, although plans for
specific locations of agencies that
would be involved in this later
group have not been completed.
The committees action in turn
ing down the decentralization pro-
posal was forecast Tuesday in The
Stars Federal Spotlight column.
The action today had nothing
to do with the proposed dispersal
program that would transfer 30
600 to 10000 Federal employees
here to nearby sites in Maryland
and Virginia, since such pro-
gram would first have to be au-
thorized by Congress before any
money request to carry out the
plans could be considered.
Criticized as Too Costly.
During recent hearings on the
third supplemental bill, the COM
mittee's members sharply criti-
cized decentralization as we'll as
the dispersal programs as being
far too costly.
AS an alternative, Chairman
Cannon and a nslmber of other
committee members suggested that
agencies with severe space short
age problems utilize round-the-
clock work shift to meet this
problem.
Leo C. Martin, Budget Bureau
consultant, said that if the House
committee action stands it will
mean no decentralization except
in the case of military agencies,
where the funds and authority
already exist for removal, and
some minor instances where an
agency expands field Offices by
transferring workers from Wash
ington.
Mr.. Martin has been working on
the decentralization project in the
Budget Bureau.

Cohen Indicted
With Wife in
Tax Evasion
West Coast Gambler
Accused in Action
Covering Three Years
By the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, April GA
Federal grand jury today in
dicted gambler Mickey Cohen on
charges of income tax evasion.
The jury had been going into
Cohen's payments in recent years
since the Senate Crime Commit
tee, headed by Chairman Kefau-
yer drew admissions from him in
recent hearings that he had bor-
rowed about some 100000 in
recent years with practically no
security.
Cohen said he had no COM
ment. He recently told reporters:
I'm clean QegaD. But they'll
indict me because the word is out
to get Mickey Cohen"
Wife Also Indicted.
Indicted with Cohen was his
attractive wife Lavonne.
They were charged with evad-
ing a portion of Federal taxes on
their incomes for 1946, 1947 and
194S. Authorities said she was
named chiefly because she signed
the returns with her husband.
There were five counts of eva
sion and a sixth accusing Cohen
OF making a false and fraudulent
statement to a Treasury Depart
ment agent last January. Tax
sleuths have been going over his
income for months.
The indictment alleges that the
Cohens reported only $14,0i0 of q
1886 net income of $28,793. Tax
paid was $2,872 instead of the
required $1,000. the Government
alleges.
In 1947. the Government said.
their net income was $191 1898, but
only $28.484 was reported. It al

mating $4,000.
Only S44,923 Reported.
In 1948. the complaint went on.
income was $97.665 but only $44,-
923.52 was reported.
Cohen's bond was set at $40, 900
and his wife's at $2,5OO.
If convicted. he is liable to 20
years Imprisonment and $4,000
in fines, United States Attorney
Ernest A. Tolin said. Mrs. Cohen
would be liable to is years and
fines of $4,000.
Mr.. Tolin said Cohen had Of
fered to surrender rather than be
arrested. and that he will be given
the chance to do so. !

The little Puerto Rican, asked if

court.

cause for independence and liberty
of my country" he said. Il am
not pleading for my life. I am
pleading for my cause. / still
insist to the last that my people
be free"
No Doubt of Sincerity.
He said that Puerto Ricans had
been killed by Americans. but
added:
You will never kill my ideals"
Collazo stood erect as he faced
Judge Goldsborough and conclud-
ed: II put my life in your hands.
and I have nothing further to
say"
With that, he walked back to-
ward his chair.
In imposing sentence, Judge
IGoldsborough said:
Il understand your position. The
court has no reason to believe you
are not sincere
Judge Goldsborough also told
Collazo that the court didn't think
him to be inherently an evil
man."
Time Allowed for Appeal.
The judge stated, however, that
in this country one has more priv.
ileges than in any other. and ex.
pressed the view that Puerto Rico
has been better off under the guild
ing hand of America than it had
been previously.
| In setting the execution date,
Judge Goldsborough pointed out
that he was allowing time for ac-
ton on an appeal to the United
States Court of Appeals from Col
lazo's conviction.
| He said that it is generally
assumed in this jurisdiction that
an appeal will be taken. ..r
Judge Goldsborough pointed out
that Collazo had been convicted
on two flrst-degree murder
charges, and two charges of as
sault with intent to kill two White
House policemen. who we're
wounded.
And he pointed out that, while
sentence on the assault charges
might seem superhuous, the court
felt called upon to impose sem
tence on those counts. He then
gave Collazo sentences totaling 10
to 80 years on the assault charges.
Convicted on March !.
Collazo was convicted March Z
by a District Court jury on two
firSt-degree murder counts as the
accomplice of Griselio Torresola
in the Staying of White House Po-
liceman Leslie Coffelt. The bull
lets which killed the policeman,
according to trial evidence, were
fired by Torresola, and Collazo was
found guilty as the accomplice.
Torresola was slain in the gun
battle.
The two first degree murder
counts on which Collazo was con-
victed include one charging pre-
meditated murder and another
count which charges the killing of
Officer Coffelt while the two
Puerto Ricans were attempting to
commit the crime of housebreak-
ing to get to President Truman

OF assault with intent to kill were
in connection with the wounding
