Reds Execute Alleged
Spy, Dropped Into Russia
By U. S. Intelligence
MOSCOW, UP—Red Star an
nounced Thursday the conviction
and execution by shooting of a
Ukranian exile allegedly para
chuted into the Soviet Union by
U.S. Intelligence and the U.S. Air
Force for spying and sabotage.
The announcement in the Soviet
armed forces newspaper said that
Vasily Ostapovich Ochrimovich
confessed at a trial in Kiev that
he belonged to a group of Ukran
ian exiles and was trained at an
American “espionage and subver
sion school” at Kauf-Bayern, near
Munich.
Red Star’s account said Ochri
movich named accomplices in the
Ukraine but it did not specify
whether any other persons had
been arrested.
“The military tribunal of the
Kiev military district sentenced
Ochrimovich to the highest pen
alty—shooting,” Red Star added.
“The sentence has been executed.”

says salt produced by evaporation
on San Francisco Bay is 99.9 per
cent pure.
Coalition Vote Ousts
De Valera By Winning
Control of Irish Dail
DUBLIN, Ireland, UP)—John A.
Costello’s coalition Thursday tum
bled Prime Minister Eamon de
Valera from power by winning
control of the Irish Dail (parlia
ment).
Nearly complete tabulations of
Tuesday’s election results showed
De Valera’s Fianna Fail (men of
destiny) Party had lost any math
ematical chance of gaining a ma
jority in the 147-seat Dial.
Fianna Fail polled about 10 per
cent fewer votes than it did in the
last general election three years
ago. Observers attributed this de
cline to a housewives’ revolt
against rising prices.
The Independents are divided
between De Valera and Costello.
Irish political leaders never con
cede an election till the last ballot
is counted. It was evident from
the gloom at Fianna Fail head
quarters, however, the decision
had been reached and that De
Valera, now 71 and nearly blind,
was out.
