John Cussigh, extreme right and left respec-tively, and their three children arrived in New York Monday aboard the liner Constitution from Italy. Arrival here tor Cussigh ended a long effort to re-enter the United States. He came here in 1920 with his parents and in 1932 returned with his parents to Italy. The Italian army pressed him into service since he had been born in Italy. After being in the Italian army almost three years, he was employed by the Allied Military Government as an interpreter.

Citizenship which he gained when his father became a citizen of the U.S., was later taken away from him due to his service in the Italian army. The family is enroute to Detroit, to live temporarily with a brother, Joseph. From left are: Mrs. Cussigh, Gianfranco, 12, Mirella, 14, foreground; Maria, 8, background, and John (AP Photo).

Several plants, including the U.

Babcock-W i 1 naval plant and the General Elec-trica Espanola factory, were closed. A note from the provincial civil governor said the action against the workers was taken because ol "very serious labor faults." No further explanation was given. It was believed the workers were engaged in a slowdown to protest the rising cost of living. A week-long wave of strikes broke out in northern Spain April 1 to back up demands for higher pay. The workers left their jobs even though strikes are illegal under Spanish law.

Mistaken Identity MARHAM, England, April 23 ITt Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin was mistaken for Santa Claus today. A 5-year-old boy took one look at the Russian leader's white goatee and asked: "Are you Father Christmas?"

The incident occurred while Bulganin was visiting the homes of Royal Air Force enlisted personnel at this British atom bomber base. Good Investment NEW YORK, April 23 V-Spin-sters Julia H.

Hospital authorities will continue to interview the boy Tuesday, Dr. Morrison said, in an attempt to gain his confidence. Physical examinations were started today, and doctors will begin giving him a battery of psychological tests later in the week.

A decision on whether Robert will attend the funeral services will probably be made Tuesday by Dr. Ronald H. Kettle, hos-ital superintendent, Dr. Morrison said. Meanwhile in Mansfield, Medical Examiner Ralph Gilman issued his findings in the death of the three Curgenvens.

Dr. Gilman said autopsies performed Sunday at Hartford Hospital showed the three fatal shots had been fired from a distance of 10 feet by the boy, whose vision was so poor he had to sight with his left eye and shoot with his left hand, although he was right-handed. The shots fatal to father and son were fired through the head, according to the medical examiner. In addition, Robert pumped a second bullet into his father's stomach, and three others into his brother's. He killed his mother with a single shot By LORRAINE ADELMA.V NORWICH, April 23 The "first signs of remorse" were shown today by Robert Cuf-genven, 11-year-old Mansfield boy who fatally shot his parents and older brother.

During his first day at Norwich State Hospital, the youth "broke down and cried according to Dr. John E. Morrison, clinical director. Seems More Depressed The doctor said young Curgen-ven seemed "more depressed" and "apparently has started to brood." He was admitted to the hospital Sunday on an emer gency 30-day committal order. Robert, who is being isolated in the hospital's prison ward, did not discuss the slayings or express any grief during pre liminary talks with doctors to day.

Dr. Morrison said the boy had not asked to attend funeral services Wednesday in Mansfield for his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Curgenven, or his 14-year-old brother, Richard Jr. He killed all three Saturday, using his father's .22 caliber rifle, then reconstructed the slayings Sunday for police at the family's farm.

THE COI RANT III' It Alt WASHINGTON, April 23 -The Federal Communications Commission Monday suspended its February 23 approval of the sale of WGTH-TV, Hartford, by General-Times Television to Columbia Broadcasting System. It ordered the matter to hearings before an examiner beginning May 28. The reconsideration of the previous approval was on petition of Elm City Broadcasting operator of wnikj-tv. New lta-ven. Elm City already has blocked, bv protest the proposed sale of WKNB-TV to National Broadcasting and hearing on that protest is also scheduled to start next month.

Claims Lowes In each case, Elm City has claimed lhat the power of the Hartford UHF station, when acquired by the network, will be increased to a million watts, and thus cut into the business done by the Elm City VHF station in New Haven. VVKNB has an application pending to increase its power, at a new site in Middle-town, No application has been filed to increase the power of WGTH-TV. Elm City claims that since the application was made to sell Bus Boycotted Line Ends Secfreiration Alabama Firm Bows To Ruling MONTGOMERY, April 23 UPl-The Montgomery city bus lines tonight ordered an end to segregated seating on buses tomorrow. A notice on the company Duuenn board said the deseeivgation or der was the result of the U. Supreme Court's ruling today holding segregated seating unconstitutional.

Signed By Manager The notice was signed by Bus Company Manager J. H. Bngley. Baglcy's family said he was not available to confirm the desegregation decree. The letter "to all employes' said: "We have been advised that to day the Supreme Court of the United States rendered a decision the effect of which is to hold unconstitutional segregation of the races on buses.

"Under the circumstances, the company has no choice except to discontinue the practice ol segre gation on oassengers on account of races and drivers will no longer assign seats to passengers bv reason of their race. Copies of the order were sent to K. E. Toticn and ti. vv.

raiiKiin, officials of the National City Lines in Chicago. Mayor W. A. Gayle said he hadn't studied the court case as yet but that he would continue to en force state and city ordinances in regard to segregation on buses, "We are going ahead and enforce segregation on buses just as we; have been doing," he said. There was no indication what would happen if bus company drivers carry out their order from their executive and city authorities carry out their instructions to enforce the city's segregation laws.

A suit attacking constitutionality of city and state segregation laws is already on tile in u. b. uisinci court. A hearing is scheduled May 11 before a three-judge panel. Jack Crenshaw, attorney for Montgomery city lines whose buses have been boycotted by Negroes for nearly five months, said "Offhand it sounds like the Supreme Court said Alabama's statues are "It indicates the court has adopted rule as that for schools," he continued, "and if so, I would anticipate that a court order will be entered here (May 11) along the same line." Alabama was not directly affected by today's court ruling, but an order from the three-judge panel next month could apply the decision to this state." Southington Wfoman Pulls 2 From River SOUTIIINGTON, April 23 (Special) A woman from the Cedar Springs Trailer Camp on West Queen Street here possibly saved a young wormm and a six-year-old boy from drowning in the Quinnipiac River Monday afternoon.

Police said Francis O'Sulli-van, the six-year-old, fell in the river and Mrs. Bcttj Bjork jumped in after him. Neither she nor the boy could swim. Mrs. Emma Davis, also of the Trailer Camp, saw the two and also jumped in the river and pulled the two ashore.

A call came in to the Police Headquarters an inhal-ator. When police went to the scene, they found the boy and Mrs. Bjork had left.

on the trail of the ring after the arrest of an alleged kincpin and four members. Williams named as American kingpin of the ring Arturo Ar-rochalopcz, 45, of New York Arrested Friday, he is held in $25,000 bond on immigration law charges. Also under bond here are Dr Octavio Diaz, 46; his wife, Ter esa, 42; Lrasmo Ramos, 30. and Francisco Perez Perez all of New York and all Cubans. Williams said the big man at the Cuban end of the ring is Ramon Garriga, who advertises in newspnpers there; "If you want to go to the United States I will help you." Garriga jumped $1,000 bond last May, Williams added, and fled the country.

through the heart, Dr. Gilman said. These findings will be for warded Tuesday to County Coroner Bernard J. Ackerman of Roekville. The coroner said he would have to await patholo gists' reports from Hartford Hospital and results of Robert's mental tests before completing his inquest into the triple slay ing.

To Mansfield residents, today's report of the shootings served only to deepen the mys- tery of how an apparently "nor mal American kid could suddenly turn killer. Friends, neighbors and teach ers were unable to explain how this boy could commit what police described as one of the most cold blooded killings in their experience. Supt. of Schools Richard C. Briggs, who lives near the Curgenven home, called Robert "definitely below average schol-astically, but not a behavior problem.

The boy, he said, repeated the fourth grade last year. Al though now in the fifth grade See BOY SLAYER, Page 2 tour of England with a Soviet For eign Office statement that Mos cow would favor any steps to lessen tension in the area while pro tecting the interests of all parties concerned including, of course, the interests of the U.S.S.R. That probably was as far as the Soviet Union was willing to go on the Middle East. Bulganin and Khrushchev were told by the British that peace in the Middle East was nothing less than a matter of life and death for Britain. Apparently the British were asking, as a minimum Soviet gesture, a pledge that Moscow would not interfere, with a veto or otherwise, with any United Na tions action to preserve peace in the area.

But for Moscow to do that would be to throw away all the Arab enthusiasm for the Red bloc won since the Czech arms deal.

At least one governor and scv. end officials said they would do everything legally possible to resist the new decision.

I.hw Applie To Travel The Supreme Court acted on a case arising in Columbia, S. It upheld a lower court decision that the same principles on which the Supivme Court banned race segregation in public schools applied also to public transportation. Several Southern attorneys-genera! were attending a regional meeting of Nationnl Assn. o( Attorneys-General at Old Point Comfort, when the decision was issued in Washington, 'Not SiiipilNed' Atlys. Gen.

J. Lindsay Almond) Jr. of Virginia; T. C. Callison of South Carolina, in whose state the bus rase originated; and John Ben Shepperd of Texas issued a Joint statement which said in part: "We are not surprised at the action of the Supreme Court today in view of the trend of the court's ruling in recent years.

It is another unwarranted Invasion of state and municipal rights. It simply means now that the states and cities cannot determine the type of vehicles that operate over their streets, the manner of their operation, or, that based upon the factors of health, safety, and morals, thnt separation of the races Is a proper exercise of the traditional police power of a stale." Stale Sen. William Rainach of Louisiana, chairman of the Joint Legislative Committee on Segregation in that state, termed the decision a new step in "federal dictatorship." Appeul Dismissed The Supreme Court extended its ban on racial segregation to public transportation within the borders of a state. It did so by dismissing as frivolous an appeal from a U. Court of Apteals decision in Richmond, thnt segregation on in-traslale buses violates the federal constitution.

The court's action means that segifgation in any form in public transportation, whether entirely within a state or between states, is now unlawful. Onlv 10 words were used In the court's order, including citation of a case decided in 1929, A search of the court's records showed that the cited case in- filed "without any authority ol law," and which "needlessly con sumed our time." The ban on intrastate segrega- i tion came 10 years after the court struck down compulsory separation of the races by stale law in buses crossing stale lines. In the 19-16 decision the court said segregation on buses was an unconstitutional burden on interstate commerce.

He seems to be showing the results of constant British hammering at him for firm commitments, particularly in the Middle East. It would be no surprise now if Khrushchev and Bulganin begin to cut short the tourist aspects of their trip. Even at Birmingham the two Red leaders pared their sightseeing trip from a schedule of 90 minutes to 15, suggesting they'd had enough sightseeing.

Khrushchev's outburst makes one wonder whether the Soviet Union was interested in any solid agreement on major issues. They did want something to show the people at home, and still may make a try for it, but Khrushchev's threats hardly will help create the atmosphere of mutual confidence about which he has spoken so much in England. "Never shake your fist at a Russian" Khrushchev thundered in words that had an ominous ring of threat. To make what appeared to be a clear warning to the British more emphatic, Khrushchev informed them the Soviet Union would have a guided missile which could car ry the hydrogen bomb. Chilly Reaction The British reaction on the spot and it is more than Lkely to be the British reaction throughout the country was an immediate chilli ness among Khrushchev hear ers.

This is clearly not the type of propaganda with which Khrushchev started this tour. What happened to make the Communist bass fly off the han die? Partly, perhaps, it was the rather stony, sometimes derisive, public reception of the two Soviet leaders. Partly it was possibly tht fact the Russians were hemmed in and pushed swiftly through a heavy schedule which left little time or opportunity for propaganda haymakers. Partly it is prob- ably the bogging down of the talks with the Bntirih on major world Issues. The British have made it plain to the visitors that they coasid ered the Middle East the primary issue of the moment, and ham mered at them conslantly.

But the Soviet Union has its own dilemma in the Middle East. Bui ganin and Khrushchev opened this LONDON, April 23 Wi-The British tour appears to have boomer-anged on Soviet boss Khrushchev and Premier Bulganin. Suddenly and with seeming recklessness, Khrushchev has thrown into serious doubt all the friendship propaganda with which he had been wooing the Western world. His talk today at Birmingham was tough and angry. Khrushchev apparently feels irritable and much abused in England, particularly after his treatment yesterday at the hands of Oxford students.

But more than that, Khrushchev appears to have "She must be there. That's where I put her." During a silence in the conversation, Clark said, Alexander "waved his hand in an -easterly direction."
