The bullet missed, but the Indians then beat him on the head with a pistol and fled.

An abandoned car found sever. al miles north of Chiloquin, was believed to be their getaway car. It was registered to Randolph Tupper, also an Indian.

If so, both backfired. Gov. Luis Munoz Marin sent Puerto Rican police on a wide round-up of suspected nationalists. He accused Albizu, who was arrested, of directing the assassination attempt against Mr. Truman and of staging the recent island revolt.

Papers Found Papers from Albizu, found in Torresola's pockets, bore out the fact that Torresola had been given a "mission" in the United States and was expected to carry it through to "triumph." Torresola was directed to "assume leadership of the movement in the United States "without hesitation at any time he wanted. The attempted assassination had some repercussions in congress. Sen. Owen Brewster, said that apparently the congress had not been fully informed 01 the extent of the nationalist movement in Puerto Rico. He was talking of an investigation.

What effect the attempt would have on Puerto Rican United States relations was not assessed. Munoz' prompt action in jailing and rounding up the rev. olutionary party members may have soften the American attitude. Collazo, the 37-year-old thin, mustached Puerto Rican from New York was reported in good condition at Emergency hospital. He is charged with murder and could, upon conviction, receive the electric chair.

Purpose Admitted Collazo bluntly told secret service agents that he and Torresola came here three days ago with (Continued on Page 7) Bend's Bicycle Safety Record Receives Tribute Bend, wth 1293 bicycles licensed and in use, has a remarkable safety record in bicycling, it was announced here today by Paul O.
