De Gasperi Dies
Of Heart Attack
SELLA VAL SUGANA, Italy,
UP—Alcide De Gasperi, the lean
old statesman who led Italy out
of postwar chaos and onto the
path of democracy, died yester
day of a heart attack.
Death came to the eight-time
premier as he rested here in his
north Italian mountain retreat,
far from Rome and the political
wars in which he had battled
without respite for nearly a dec
ade.
Although it was known the 73
year-old leader’s health was fail
ing, there had been no public
hint he was seriously ill. Only
after his death was it revealed
that he suffered a heart attack a
week ago.
De Gasperi had stepped down
from the titular leadership of his
pro-Western, middle-of-the-road
Christian Democrat party—Italy’s
largest — a little more than a
month ago.
He ended his 8V6 years as head
of the Italian government a year
ago, in July, 1953, after losing a
confidence vote in the Italian par
liament.
15 Drown in Korea
SEOUL, UP—Fifteen persons

Police Believe Negro
Recovered From River
Was Victim of Teen-Agers
NEW YORK, UPt—The body of a
Negro was recovered from the
East River today and police said
they believed he was a torture
victim of Brooklyn’s teen - age
“murder for fun” gang.
Authorities said the boys had
confessed beating a Negro, burn
ing his feet with cigarettes and
throwing him into the river last
Monday night.
The body recovered today had
bruises on the left side as though
it had been punched and laces on
the victim’s shoes were untied.
The man appeared to be about
30 and was 5-feet-9.
Police had been grappling in
the river off the Williamsburg
section of Brooklyn since short
ly after four youths were arrested
early this week for allegedly
killing two men, beating others
and whipping two girls for
thrills.
While officials tried to deter
mine why youths from good
homes went on a sadistic orgy,
two living victims came forward
with more details of the horror
story.
More than half the babies born
in the United States in 1950 had
fathers in their 20s.
