Governor Luis Munoz Marin pledged that the influence of world Communism in this week's Nationalist outrages on the island and in Washington will be investigated "until every angle is brought to light." THE ROUNDUP of extremists was intensified following the dawn arrest of Pedro Albizu Campos, American-hating Nationalist Party president.

The Communist Party chief, Albizu's American woman friend -and several other prominent Nationalists and Communists will be questioned in connection with the plot to assassinate President Truman and Governor Munoz, and with this week's revolt here.

JANE SPEED, blonde American wife of Andreu Iglesias and one of the leading Communists in Puerto Rico, was believed to have been arrested with him, but this had not been confirmed. Governor Munoz charged that Communists are using the fanatical Puerto Rican Nationalists as a tool for their anti-American strategy and propaganda.

Wherry, Republican, Nebraska said the assassination attemp proves "the seriousness of the Com munist menace" in this country Wherry said a vigorous Red round up should follow. There has been no evidence the Communists were involved' in the assassination plot Mr. Truman himself shrugged off the averted threat to his own life.

"They didn't get at me," he the gunmen were dropped right under the window of the bedroom in which he dozed What troubled him was the death of one guard and the wounding oi two others in the hail of bullets from the guns. 'A terrible thing," he called it, And" he added, shaking his head sorrowfully: "It just makes you sick." THE PRESIDENT, calm and composed, met reporters as 'usual at his weekly news conference. Amplifying his previous remarks, he said that what he hated about the incir dent was the death of one officer and the wounding of two others. It was all so unnecessary, he observed. Mr.

Truman rejected a sugges- tion'that he gave his account of the gun fight as observed from Blair House. He told the reporter to read the newspapers, which had the whole story, and said he had nothing to add to the newspaper reports of the brief but bloody action. Despite the' attempt his life, Mr. Truman had tried to carry out his normal daily routine. He took an early morning walk, Under strengthened secret service guard, and found his office desk piled high with messages from nearly everywhere congratulating him on his escape.

MEANWHILE Collazo. the surviving assassin, was formally arraigned in his hospital bed on a charge of murdering White House Policeman Leslie Coffelt. The possible "penalty is death in the electric chair. Collazo was held without bond for further hearing Nov. 21.

The dark-haired political fanatic was shot through the chest in yesterday's pistol play, but, barring complications, is expected to recover and stand trial. He was moved earlier in the day from Emergency Hospital to Gallinger Hospital, a city-operated institution next door to the District of Columbia jail.

Sen-ice agents, military and police authorities teamed up today to throw a safe protective screen around President Truman when he conies here "Saturday to give personal endorsement to Democratic candidates in the Nov. 7 election.

Political considerations were sidetracked in favor of stepped-up security after the attempt on Mr. Truman's life in Washington yesterday. Officials agreed to cut the number of Democratic dignitaries slated to share the speaker's platform at Kiel Auditorium from 150 to nine. Special Agent Frank Barry, head of a Secret Service planning team which arrived here yesterday, will supervise the security setup. St.

Louis Police Chief Jeremiah O'Connell said that a squad of his motorcycle police and a crew of detectives would meet the President's plane when it lands at Scott Air Base in Illinois on Saturday afternoon. The officers will assist Illinois police in convoying Mr. Truman to St. Louis. In view of the assassination attempt officers at Scott base believed that original plans to throw the field open to the public during the President's stopover would be abandoned.

The President's talk at 9 P. Central Standard Time, will be a half-hour speech, his only one in the election campaign. It will be broadcast over the, four nationwide networks. Guard Ike, Austin Against Assassins Fear Puerto Ricans Plan More Attacks BY JAMES HUDSON NEW YORK, Nov. 2.

Special 24-hour guards were posted today to protect Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ambassador Warren R. Austin and other prominent persons who authorities fear might have been marked for assassination by fanatical Puerto Rican revolutionaries. Simultaneously FBI and Secret Service agents and police scoured the dark, paint-peeled corridors of squalid tenements in New York's Puerto Rican section, searching for more conspirators in the plot which yesterday came within 30 minutes of possibly killing President Truman.

Four Puerto Ricans already were in custody here. APPARENTLY fearful that the Nationalists would make new attempts to assassinate prominent persons to focus attention on their violent campaign for Puerto Rican independence, police assigned a special 24-hour guard at Eisenhower's presidential home at Columbia University. A Columbia University spokesman said Eisenhower did not ask See GUARDS On Page 7, Column 6 Tough Cogan Doesn't Mind Crackup YORK, Nov. Everybody figured 23-month-old Stanley Cogan was a goner today. A car, out of control after a collision, struck his baby carriage, dragged it 50 feet and ground it to bits.

Stanley's mother fainted. So did several other women as rescuers dug into the debris to find the body. But when they got to Stanley he was perched amid the wreckage with a smile as big as life. At Swedish Hospital attendants took one stitch to close a head wound the only injury they found. Then they revived the mother, Mrs.

Selma Cogan, 30-year-old wife of a rabbi, and sent her home with the child. would-be assailants were Puerto Ricans, the President told an overflow gathering at his news conference that the people in Puerto Rico seemed very happy and satisfied. He on to say, as he has said in the past, that he believes the Puerto Ricans should have the right to determine their political status in relation to the United States. He said he told them of this belief when he visited Puerto Rico early in 1948. THEY WILL soon vote, he said, on the adoption of a constitution that will virtually put them oh a statehood basis.

A spontaneous burst of applause greeted Mr. Truman when he entered the room where the news conference was held. With a smile, the President quipped that he was not running for anything this year. But he said that applause would have sounded good in 1948. Apparently unshaken by his escape, Mr.

S. Weather Bureau at Hulman Field Airport. Yesterday's high was 53 degrees at 1:30 o'clock, a sharp contrast to the high of 82 degrees on Tuesday and 81 degrees on Wednesday. The day's low was 41 degrees recorded early in the morning.

Temperatures today will be about the same as were those of yesterday, according to the meterologists. There also may be some rain during the next 24 hours to be followed by sunshine and warmer weather Saturday. A study of the weather records for October shows that the average mean temperature for the month was 59.9 dgrees which was 3.7 degrees above normal mean temperatures for the month. The highest temperature, 86 degrees, was recorded on the first day of the month: the lowest, 32 degrees, on the fifth.

The census has no ef feet on the number of senators which is fixed at two for each state. UNLESS' Congress should unex pectedly change the present law, il won't have to turn a hand for the new apportionment of House mem sers to come about. Within seven days after the 82nd Congress convenes in January, President Truman will transmit the census report containing new apportionment. Within another 11 days, this information is passed on to the states by congressional officials. The states take care of their own realignment of Congressional districts if any.

Indiana Gross Income Tax Collections Increase, but Expenses Go Up Too INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. business activity boosted gross income tax collections during the first four months of fiscal 1951 to $15,116,549, more than over the amount collected last year, State Revenue Director Conn J. Sterling said today. "One fact is significant," Sterling said, "there is an increase of $10.40 per return.

If that holds we ought to be in pretty good STERLING refused to estimate the total which would be collected this year, -since the bulk of the tax comes from' taxpayers who pay annually in January. State Budget. Director Lytle J. Freehafer, who keeps a weather eye on the state's income and outgo, said he was encouraged by the increase in the gross tax, largest source of revenue. the "But our expenses are going up," said Freehafer, "and well do well to match our record in the last fiscal year when the General Assembly appropriated some $10,000,000 more than we took in and it was necessary to go to the surplus to make up the difference of $7,000.000." More than $3,000,000 of appropriations was turned back unspent to the general fund.

FREEHAFER said the Northern Indiana Children's Hospital already was in operation, the first unit of the mental hospital at Westville will be opened shortly after Jan. 1, and the increase in child welfare benefits, voted by the 1949 Legislature, was being felt with full force. In addition to those major increases in the cost of state government, he said, "Expenses are up all along the line." Sterling said $2,737,582 in gross income tax was collected last month, compared with $2,015,984 in October, 1949. The commission took the matter under advisement "until further order by the commission," city officials stated last night The local l-us company has requested a rise in fare from cents to a straight 10 cents, with an additional 5-cent fare for suburban areas. DURING the hearing yesterday officials of the bus company admitted the proposed fare increase would cause a 5 per cent loss in passenger volume.

Mayor Ralph Tucker and City Attorney Edward S. Everett joined Public Counselor Walter F. Jones, in opposing the increase. The mayor asked Frank R. Money, company accountant, whether the recent laying off of 16 employes with the discontinuance of nine busses was reflected on his books.

Money stated it was not; probably because it was offset by overtime pay necessary for other drivers. Mayor Tucker then asked what was gained by the layoffs and Money replied he did not know. THE BUS company accountant testified that the firm paid its parent company, National City Lines, with headquarters in Chicago, for various services in 1949. He estimated that the company's profit on its investment, as represented by recent appraisals, is 6.4 per cent Mayor Tucker and Attorney Edward Everett pointed out, earlier See BUS RATES On Pafe 7, Column 1 the Korean war. The revision of battle lines meant withdrawals in some places to protect units which seemed to be overextended.

A few days ago they were racing for the Manchurian border. A good deal of rearrangement is necessary in the area assigned to the South Koreans, who took the first shock of the Chinese Red counter thrust and in some places crumpled under the blow. THE SPIRIT and atmosphere in most advanced American units has changed abruptly since it became known the Chinese are in the field. A few days ago soldiers and officers were making plans for Thanksgiving dinners in Japan where many of them had been based, and talking freely about the end of the war here. With the appearance of the Chinese those plans have gone glimmering in the sober realization that Red Chinese entry into the war can prolong it greatly.

There is still some quibbling among high-ranking officers about the Chinese soldiers, as to whether they are Communists and whether they represent the Red China government. -r- THERE IS NONE of that quibbling among the soldiers who have faced the Chinese. The Chinese are shooting at them. The Chinese soldier's ideology and the government he represents means nothing to the GI if that Chinese is trying to kill him, as these Chinese seem intent on doing.
