Since Mr. Hobbs received his call to the Navy, reports had been cir culated that those who signed the petitions requesting a vote might recall the petitions. "No, Sir,” commented Attorney Kverette L.

E Court Fate eaders WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 (W-4 JThe fate of 11 Commun ist leaders may be decided by the Supreme Coprt to day, and the Communist Party got set to make an ad verse ruling a “worldwide issue.” Tt* court met after a six weeks recess in which the justices studied and wrote opinions, possibly in cluding a decision on the appeal of the Communist leaders from theta conviction of conspiracy to teaJb and advocate violent over throw of the government. REDS WILL PROTEST .. A. - Communist Party spokesman indicated that if the convictions are upheld, the nationwide mass meetings, demonstrations and in ternational protests will follow. "Ah adverse ruling would mean a big public issue, bigger than even the Sacco-Vanetti, Tom Mooney, and Scottsboro cases,” the spokes man said. The 11 Communist leaders were convicted in New York in October 1940, of violating the Smith Act by conspiring to teach and ad vocate the government’s overthrow. Their appeal presents a Constitu tional test of the Smith Act. If the court upholds the con victions. the Red leaders can be expected to be committed to jail within a month. The Daily Worker said in an editorial yesterday that the “case ■ <of the 11 is the case of the Ameri can people and existence of the Bill of Rights" and also implied (Continued On Pago Four) State News Briefs ; ' SALISBURY, Feb. 26—<W—A 37- 1 year-old j Georgetown, Fla., man staggered from his car at a filling 1 station near here yesterday ..and fell dead with a deep gash on his head and a punctured kidney.

Robert Young that a gen eral county court be set up in Harnett and that the Dunn and Lillington recorder s courts be abol ished. The committees were named at < a joint meeting of the county board, Dunn’s city board and Sen ator Young in Dunn’s city hall. Representative Carson Gregory was unable to be present for the meet- , ing. This meeting was held at the re- , quest of Dunn’s city officials, who said they wanted to know more about the court proposal. YOUNG EXPLAINS PROPOSAL Chairman Lofton a. Tart of the Puerto Rican Goes On Trial For Assassination Attempt WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 OPI Oscar Collazo, Puerto Rican re volutionary, was brought to trial today for the attempted assassin ation of President Truman and the murder of a White House guard. Conviction could mean death in the electric chair for the 38-year old mild mannered defendant for his part in the futile attempt to storm Truman’s Blair House res idence last Nov. 1. White House Guard Leslie Cof felt was killed in the daylight gun battle; Griselia Torresola, Collazo’s ■ confederate, was slain, and Collazo and another White House guard were wounded. As the trial was called (for 9:30 a.m. EST) before Federal Judge T. Alan Goldsborough, it was indicat ed that selection of a jury would take all day, ffin)i|resola fifed, the shot that killed Coffelt. But that will make no difference in the government’s case against Collazo. Under the law, a person who State College Presents Trophy To Janies Twyford James W.

Collazo has pleaded innocent to the charges—the only plea the court will accept on a murder charge. But he readily admitted that he and Horresola came here to shoot the president. U. S.
