SOVIET LEGATION IN
TEL AVIV BOMBED
TEL AVIV, Israel, UP)—Israeli
police announced they have ar
rested- several dozen persons in
connection with the bombing of
the Soviet legation here Monday
night.
Five persons, including the wife
of the Soviet minister, were in
jured in the explosion. It was
believed in reprisal for recent
anti-Zionist charges by Commun
ist officials in Moscow and the
satellite capitals.
The attackers were believed to
have cut a hole in the wire fence
surrounding the legation grounds
in the center of Tel Aviv and to
have thrown the explosive
through the window of a ground
floor office.
The Israeli press joined the gov
ernment in condemning the
bombing. Terming it a “dastard
ly outrage,” the government ex
pressed its regret to the Russian
envoy and his staff and promised
“swift justice” to those respon
sible.

Prison Official Maimed
As Prisoner-Made Bomb
Explodes in Wash. State
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Of)—
Seven members of the Washing
ton State Prison staff were
injured Monday, two of them
gravely, in the explosion of a
make- shift, prisoner - manufac
tured bomb.
The blast was believed by pri
son authorities to have nipped a
plot by a group of hardened con
victs to blow their way to free
dom.
One of the injured men, prison
business manager Albert Gruber,
may not recover. An arm was
blown off and his stomach ripped
open.
Meanwhile, FBI agents, sher
iff’s deputies and prison officials
pressed an investigation of the
tragedy. A thorough search of the
penitentiary was begun to turn
up any other crude bombs or
“the makings.”
Four lifers were held in soli
tary confinement believed to be
the ringleaders of the escape plot.
A laboratory examination
showed part of the contents was
nitroglycerine “soup,” presum
ably from boiled down sticks of
dynamite. How the convicts got
hold of any dynamite was un
answered. Traces of acetic acid
also were found.

ordered to appear in district court
next Monday on charges of un
lawfully acting as counsel in a

23 Plead Guilty of
Spying for U.S. &
Britain in Romania
VIENNA, WV-Radio Bucharest
reported Tuesday 23 persons, in
cluding a former cabinet minister
and many oil industry leaders,
have pleaded guilty to charges of
spying for the U.S. and Britain
and sabotaging the big Ploesti oil
fields.
The trial began Monday before
a military tribunal at Ploesti, site
of Europe’s largest oilfields which
the Allies air-attacked while they
were in Axis hands in World
War II.
The defendants include former
Finance Minister Aleandru Alex
andria and former top officials
of these big companies:
Romano-Americana Oil Co., a
subsidiary of Standard Oil of New
Jersey; Aastra Rojnana Co., a
Shell subsidiary; Steaua Romana
Co., Muntenia Oil Central, Asso
ciation of Oil Industrialists of Ro
mania, Unirea Co., and Credited
Minier Co.
The deferments were accused of
membership in a U.S.-British spy
and sabotage network formed by
“American and British trusts”
with the aid of Romania’s former
King Mihai I, now an exile in
western Europe.
Romania’s Communist govern
ment took over the private com
panies’ royalties in 1949 and na
tionalized the companies in 1951.
Recently published official re
ports claimed Romania had filled
its 1952 oil quota by 101 percent,
but there have been reports since
that the output has been cut dras
tically.
