Coral Gets Life For
Rape OF Aged Widow
CONTINUED from first paeel


realize this is a great responsible
ty, but we also realize that we owe
duty to society to impose such a
sentence as will protect others and
prevent the commission of similar
crimes.
We cannot overlook the serious
nature of the crime Of which the
jury found you guilty, or fail to
recognize the possible effect upon
society if you are not properly
punished therefore"
The court told the defendant that
his court-appointed counsel had
done everything that could possibly
be done in his defense.
Coral was found guilty, with a
recommendation for mercy on No
vember 1st. The jury deliberated
about 20 minutes. His conviction
followed four-day trial that in
cluded three night sessions.
The state said Coral broke into
the small farm home of Mrs. Da-
wilson about two and a half miles
southwest of Wyoming about 1
a. m, last February 18th, went to
her second~story bedroom, and
there attacked her after dragging
her from her bed.
Coral was represented by Max
Terry of Dover, and Charles L.
Paruszewsld of Wilmington, both
appointed for him by the court.
Vincent A. Theiseh of Wilmington,
chief deputy attorney general, and
Henry J. Ridgely of Dover, deputy
attorney general for Kent County,
prosecuted the case.
Coral came to this country on
July z, 1949, and worked in the
Mattituck, L. l., area until May
25, 1851 when he went to work
on a farm near Mrs. Davidson's
home.

High-Couh Ruling
Shields BET Winners

The Supreme Court ruled
unanimously today that the
Treasury Department cannot re-
quire gambler. in filing income
tax returns, to disclose the
names of persons who won bets
The opinion, written by JUS
tice Douglas, upheld a decision
by a Federal court in Kansas
City, Mo-, dismissing a 101-count
indictment against James j.
Carroll, of st. Louis. Mo-, a pro-
fessional gambling commission
er."
The ruling today dealt with
an income tax controversy and
not directly with the Federal oc-
cupation tax on gamblers. The
latter levy recently was upheld
by the Supreme Court.
The Treasury and Justice De-
partmentS had asked the Su-
preme Court to find that a pro-
fessional gambler could be re-
quired to submit with his in
come tax return separate state
ment containing detailed in
formation about payments he
made to winners of bets.
The gist of the Supreme Court
opinion was that such a re-
quirement amounted to a Treas
ury Department regulation and
was not specified In the income
tax laws.

Woman was made beautiful

and cosmetics, and the hair
dresser finished what had been
started with a hair style to suit
her.
I'm the animal kingdom the
male struts around with the fine

is the dowdy partner. The hu-
man female is just about as

Volcano Kills
Six Children
Peering Inside
By the Associated Press

TOKYO, April 27.-Aso VOL
cano erupted thunderously to-
Say, killing at least six of 400
school children peering into its
depths.
Some unofficial death esti-
mates ran as high as 10. One
hundred children were reported
injured. It was Aso's first erup-
ton in 20 years. The youngsters
were on an excursion inside the
l5-mile wide great crater Of the
5.267-foot volcano on KyuShu,
Japan'S southernmost island.
They were looking into one
of five volcanic peaks inside the
gaping crater when it awakened
with a smoking roar, blasting
rocks wildly into the air. Some
were the size of a mans head.
The children fled in terror.
Rocks shot through gray smoke
to almost 1000 feet and then
rained back to ground for 600
yards around.
The full crater contains IL
farm villages with nearly 10000
people, but they were not con-
sidered in danger. The news
paper Nishi Nippon said the blast
came from 4,339-foot Naka Dake
crater, one of the five peaks.
The great crater is 24.50O acres
in area and contains two rail-
roads and nine stations. Full
eruption of the entire crater ap-
parently took place in prehistoric
days. Only minor activity from
some of the five peaks is re-
corded in japanese annals.
The last big eruption Of Mount
Aso took place in 1888. It show
cred rocks and ashes on prac-
tically all Of the 16,000-Square
mile island of Kyushu.
At that time, the observatory
issued an alarm and the eruption
caused no casualties. Since then.
Aso has been fairly quiet, with
smoke and vapor coming out Of
small new craters and only a few
small eruptions.

La Belle France, of late, has
been getting the boot with mer-
cileSs regularity. The result is
just what might have been ex-
pected. Franco-American rela-
tions are at their lowest ebb in
years.
The origins and causes of ir-
ritation with the French have
been so firmly impressed on the
American newspaper reader that
it seems unnecessary to review
them in detail. They start with
the temperament of the individ-
ual Frenchman-his distressing
inclination toward non-conform-
ity and his enormous capacity
for self-pity. From there. they
run up through the whole struc-
ture of French social and polit-
ical life.
Foreigners complain that the
French are anarchists at heart,
frightened by the very idea Of
strength, even within their own
country. This, you hear. is the
reason why the Frenchman
doesn't pay his taxes; why he
encourages paralysis in his gov
ernment; why there is so much
openly expressed doubt about
the quality Of his military effort.
It explains. in short. why the

ment in a non-Communist
country"
The announcement gave the
route to be followed and sug-
gested the pilots fly at about
10000 feet, presumably to avoid
the risk of being shot down by
allied planes.
The command suggested the
pilots fly first to Paengyong, an
island off the west coast, and
then to Kimpo air base near
Seoul.
. The command conceded that
the offer, unprecedented in the

TOKYO, April 27.-The allied
high command tonight offered
100000 to the first Communist
flyer to land his Russian-made
jet in South Korea, a move de-
signed to undermine morale of
the Red air force.
Radio appeals and leaflets
carried the message in the Rus
sian, Chinese and Korean Ian
guageS.
In a move unprecedented in
the Korean war, the command
promised political asylum for the
first flyer to come over and any
others who would follow. Those
who follow would get $4,000.
An official announcement said
the offer was made to get lin
valuable technical intelligence"
to SOW distrust and suspicion in
the Communist air force.
Message Also in Russian.
The leaflets dropped in North
Korea carried a photograph of
Franciszek Jarewski, a Polish jet
pilot, who flew his MIG-15 to
Denmark and was given polit-
ical asylum only recently.
The message In the Russian
language began "comrade pilots"
and was entitled road to free
dom" The one in the Chinese
language was addressed to
courageous jet pilots" !
The official announcement
said that the Air Force hoped to
get the same results as ground
forces have had in their sur
render leaflet campaign.

nouncement, "has found it nee
essary to send out patrols to
watch other ground reconnais-
sance patrols to keep individuals
from surrending to United Ma

I'm the same way. officers of
the Far East Command believe
the present operation should re-
duce the combat effectiveness of
the Communist air force. 49,.
Sowing Distrust.
"Henceforth, a MIG flight
leader should be even more con-
cerned lest his own flight shoot
him down and escape. He will
tend to be wary about the other
pilots in his flight and they may
distrust each other"
There was no explanation of
why the leaflets and broadcastS
also were in the Russian Ian
guage. There have been repeated
reports, however, that some Rus
sian pilots are flying MICS in the
Korean war.
The offer was broadcast over
the allied radio. The Air Force
showered North Korea with
leaflets announcing the offer.

He planned to report to Presi-

Mr.. Dulles landed at National

No Details on Decisions.
In talking with reporters al
the airport. Mr.. Dulles did not
go into details of decisions at
the NATO meeting for a slow
down in the Western defense
buildup.
He emphasized, however, that
he thought I'VE had a very sue
cessful meeting"
1--WE were very realistic" he
added. I'VE accomplished some
good, hard, practical results
which I think, on the one hand
fully protected the interests of
the United States and, on the
other hand, built up the strength
of NATO."
Before leaving Paris Mr..
Dulles made clear to French gov
ernment leaders that the United
States cannot continue what he
call "the handout era" of for
eign aid. but will insist that such
aid pay off in results.
Shift in Policy.
While providing for some in
crease in NATO defense forces
the Paris meeting decided tc
shift from an urgent buildup to-
ward maximum strength next
year to a program that can be
sustained indefinitely without
Straining allied economies.
Mr.. Dulles was asked if there
had been much discussion among
the NATO conferees of the So
Wet response in a front-page
Pravda editorial to President
Eisenhower's peace offensive pro-
gram. He replied that it at
tracted some attention, but eve

Dulles Says French Aid
Will Be Limited to Laos

PARIS. April 27 (P).-Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles
told the French yesterday the
United States had earmarked in
creased aid for the war in Laos,
but there would be no more
money for French budget bal
ancing.
This was the summary of an
exchange between the French
and Americans at a conference
in the French Foreign Ministry
attended by the top brass of
both countries.
The conference was a contin-
uation of the explanatory series
which began Saturday as the
NATO meeting ended. The new
American line was. in a nut
shell:
The era of economic aid is over
except for those enterprises
where the American people can
see some direct benefit.
Communist Danger Seen.
The Indo-China war, the
French were told, is included in
this group because Americans
see great danger in the Com
munist rebellion in that area.
The permanent loss of Indo-
China, it was agreed, could have
a chain reaction which could
spread into Burma, Thailand and
perhaps even India.
An effort was made at the
conference to find a common
course in how to handle the
affair, but no final decision was
announced, nor was any figure
OF the increased aid announced.
An American source said yes
terday that airplanes and other
urgently needed supplies are be-
ing diverted from other Asian
theaterS to help equip the French
better to beat off the menacing
Wet Mini pushing into Laos, on
the Thailand-Burma frontier.
Aid Is Up to Congress.
The Americans told the French
they considered the Indo-China
affair one of the most important
projects earmarked for continued
aid. The extent of additional
financial aid must be taken up
with Congress, which is expect
ing recommendations within the
next 10 days.
Americans attending the con-
ference were United States Am
baSsador c. Douglas Dillon, Sec
retary of State John Foster
Dulles, William Draper, presi-
dental representative in charge
of Mutual Security in Europe,
and Harold StasSen, Mutual Sc

To Resist Invaders:
Aging King to Stuy

French transport planes poured
steady stream of troops and
war material into the Laotion
royal seat of Luangprabang to-
day as Communicated Wet Mini
forces drove toward the city, The
best estimates are that the in
vaders are four or five days away.
French and Laotian troops dug
trenches and constructed barbed
wire entanglements and other
Notifications around the town.
The 5000 residents remained
calm and Laos aging King, Sisa-
wang Wong, and his son, Crown
Prince Savang, announced they
would stay in their capital.
French fighter bombers yester-
day flew IS sorties, heavily at
tacklng enemy troops northeast
of Luangprabang and around the
Plaine Des Jarres. the strongly
defended French-Laotian posi-
ton in the heart of Laos.
A Wet Mini victory at Luang-
prabang. and at the administra-
tive capital of Vientiane, further
south, would bring the Red-led
forces to the borders of Cam
bodia and Thailand. Cambodia,
Laos and Wet Nam make up the
three states of Indo-China.
Other Wet Mini forces stepped
up the haraSsing tactics in the
vital Red River delta of north
ern Wet Nam. French forces
killed 80 enemy soldiers and cap
tured eight in a mopping up
operation about IS miles south
east of Hanoi.
