Puerto Ricans' Plea
Is Denied by Court
BY The Associated Press

NEW YORK. Sept. 25.-Fed-
eral Judge Lawrence E. Walsh
yesterday denied defense motions
to dismiss the indictment against
13 Puerto Rican Nationalists
charged with seditious conspir-
acy to overthrow the United
States Government.
Defense attorneys argued there
was not sufficient evidence to
connect the defendants with the
crime. One attorney asked for a
mistrial on the grounds that an
FBI informant who appeared as
Government witness had taken
part in defense conferences.
The Government charges that
13 Puerto Ricans on trial are
guilty of "conspiring to over
throw, put down and destroy by
force the Government of the
United States" If convicted,
they face six years in prison and
a $1,000 fine.
Among the defendants are four
Puerto Ricans who last March l
opened fire from the spectators
gallery in the House of Repre-
sentatives, wounding five Con-
gressmen. The four were con-
.victed for the shooting earlier in
Washington and are now being
tried on the conspiracy charges.
The trial resumes Monday.

Atom Weapon Tests
Scheduled in Nevada
Starting in February
= By the Associated Press

The Atomic Energy Commits
sion is readying a new set of
weapons tests at its Nevada
proving grounds next winter.
The Acc came out last night
with an announcement of a
"series of atomic tests COM
mencing early in 1855, probably
about mid-February."
Ranchers, miners and others
in southern Nevada and south
western Utah were warned of
the impending tests which Acc
said will conform generally
with those previously conducted
in Nevada"
The last such Nevada tests
were held in the spring and early
summer of 1858.
Presumably, Acc scientists are
planning to try out improved and
perhaps new types of atomic
weapons.
Since the .fnightier hydrogen
bomb test blasts have been
touched off only in the Aces
Marshall Islands proving grounds
in the mid-Pacific, it was ex-
pected the new Nevada tests
would be confined to nuclear
f1SSion, or atomic" devices.
Officials have spoken recently
OF the constant improvement of
our weapon posture" and of a
growing variety of atomic
weapons.
Preparations for the 1855 test
series in Nevada indicated there
might be no new trials in the
Pacific for another year or more.
Technical staffs are not big
enough to prepare for and handle
simultaneous operations in the
Marshalls and Nevada, 5000
