Truman Message This Week
To Ask Postal Rate Increases

President Truman will send a
message to Congress this week
asking legislation to boost postal
rates to cope with a deficit in
mail-carrying charges which now
is running around $500 million
annually.
The President disclosed his
plans to his weekly meeting with
congressional leaders today, but
Speaker of the House Rayburn
said Mr.. Truman did not discuss
specific rates.
The President frequently has
pointed out that first class mail
alone is paying its way. His mes
sage is expected to contain recon-
mendations for boosting rates on
newspapers and periodicals and
for dealing with franked mail,
which adds heavily to the postal
deficit.
Mr.. Rayburn said the President
expects to get the message to the
Capitol by Thursday, the day be-
fore he leaves for a three-weel,
stay in Key West.
Meanwhile, AFL postal employe
leaders urged Congress to take
immediate action to give postal
workers a pay raise.

The Supreme Court today held
that the United States can be
made a defendant in an accident
case and must answer in court
to a damage suit.
The tribunal ruled in the case
of the Capital Transit Co.. where
a streetcar passenger brought
suit to recover damages for
injury in a collision between the
streetcar and an Army jeep.
The case was reversed and sent

Black and Douglas dissented.

In writing the majority opinion,
Justice Burton said that the ques-

ROME, Feb. 26.-Italy's Com
munist boss, ailing Palmiro Togli-
atti, who has been in the Soviet
Union for treatment since before
Christmas, returned home sud-
denly today, presumably to deal
first-hand with a growing breach
in the Red party ranks.
The leader of 2.5 million Italian
Communists crossed the Italian
Austrian border by train and is
expected to reach Rome tonight.
AS the train reached Venice his
two top henchmen, Luigi Longo
and Pietro Secchia, Joined him for
the trip to Rome.
Togliatti's return is expected to
signal a sharp increase in Com
munist Party activities, with the
annual national party congress as
the first big event in March. 1t
has been reported that his quick
return was spurred by the recent
resignation of two top Commu-
nists from the party, which was
followed by a wave of designations
by other important local leaders
who opposed the party's policy of
putting Moscows interests before
those of Italy.

Barred From Serving
On CoIIazo Jury
Court Guorded Heavily
At Puerto Ricun's TrioI
In Blair House Staying
By james J. CuIIinone

In an extraordinary move to
guarantee a fair trial to Oscar
Collazo, charged with killing a
White House guard in an attempt
to assassinate PRESIDENT Truman,
Judge T. Alan Goldsborough today
disqualified all Federal and Dis
trict Government employees from
jury service.
AS the trial got underway in
Judge Goldsborough's court, all
available jurors from all other di-
visions of the District Court were
called on the Collazo panel.
Within an hour, Judge Colds
borough had excused some $50
panel members, including 80 who
worked for the District or Fed
eral governments. Twenty-si4
were excused because OF scruples
against capital punishment and
10 because they had already
formed an opinion as to the guilt
of the accused man.
Courtroom Heavily Guarded.
The courtroom was heavily
guarded by United States mar
shals when the 37-year-old Puerto
Rican revolutionary was brought
before Judge Goldsborough. Natty
in a brown suit and a red tie,
the black-haired Puerto Rican
stood calmly when ordered to do
so by Judge Goldsborough and
faced the prospective jurors with
out flicker of emotion on his
face.
The Puerto Rican had been
brought to court in closed van,
handcuffed. The cuffs were re-
moved as he entered the court
room.
His wife, Mrs. Rosa Collazo, AZ,
sat among the spectators. She
was hatless and wore a black
blouse, powder blue sweater and
Navy blue skirt. ....
Wife Attends Trial.
Coilazo faces sentence OF
death in the electric chair If
convicted on either of the two
murder counts against him.
Collazo and a companion, Grise-
lio Torresola, both followers of the
United States-hating Puerto Rican
Nationalist Party, tried to shoot
their way into Blair House, tenn
porary home of the President, in
broad daylight on November /.
Torresola and Pvt. Leslie Coffelt
of the White House guard were
killed and two other White House
guards were wounded in the en-
suing gun battle.
Collazo was ordered to trial un-
der two counts of a first-degree
murder indictment. The first
count charges Collazo and Tore
sola "unlawfully, feloniously, will

crate and premeditated malice

Troop Proposal
Republican Says U. S.
Failure Now Gould Be
Greatest Surrender
By J. A. Oleory

Failure of the United States to
send ground as we'll as sea and
air forces to prevent an attack on
Western Europe could be 1.-The
greatest surrender in history"
former Republican Senator John
Sherman Cooper testified today.
Mr.. Cooper, now State Depart
ment adviser, said he hoped a
majority Of both parties in the
Senate will vote against the
Wherry resolution, which asks the
President to delay troop commit
ments until Congress adopts a
basic policy on the subject.
Earlier. Senator Taft, Republi-
can, of Ohio, revealed he plans to
make a Senate floor fight for
specific guarantees on the number
of soldiers Western Europe will
provide to stand beside the Amer
lean contingent.
Both Senator Taft, who is
willing to send troops if definite
quotas are agreed upon, and SEN
ator Wherry. Republican, of
Nebraska, are scheduled to testify
later today at the hearings before
the Senate Foreign Relations and
Armed Services Committees.
Taft Is Not Satisfied.
In advance of his testimony
Senator Taft made it clear he is
not satisfied with the administra-
ton resolution. made public last
night, which seeks to meet the
opposition halfway by declaring
the American contingent should
consist of "our fair share" It
also calls on the President to
make sure the other nations raise
troops commensurate with their
ability. geographic position. and
general economic condition"
Mr.. Cooper, after travelling
through Europe, reported that
since the Korean War started.
France, England and Italy have
been awakened to the need for a
strong defense of Western Europe.
II do not want to exaggerate, 1"
said the former Kentucky Sem
ator. "It is certain that Europe
could not defend itself now
against Soviet aggression. It is
certain that its programs are yet
inadequate. But it is a growing,
developing process that can sue
ceed with our help"
Korean Lesson Emphasized.
Mr.. Cooper said events in Ko-
rea show that. however good our
intentions. it is doubtful that we
would be able to transport men
and equipment to Europe in time
after an assault has started. This
was his answer to those who argue
that the North Atlantic treaty
only obligated the United States
to send troops when Europe is
attacked.
