“THE CASE OF COSTELLO’’ . . . Grim through most of his ordeal
consisting of his questioning by the senate crime committee, Frank
Costello (left), recently was forced to grin broadly at the large size
of the briefcase displayed by his laughing attorney, George Wolf. As
Costello was queried on his financial condition, Wolf placed the huge
case on the table, bringing rounds of laughter from the spectators,
committee members, and witnesses.

You are boss of hard-to-
work soil when the busi-'
ness end of your tillage
machine is equipped with
IH heat-treated heavy-
duty steels. They are
shaped to dig down deep
and stay there . . . with-
stand shocks . . . and wear
longer. IH steels attach to
the shank with a tension
grip that prevents the bolts
from loosening, and shear-
ing. Come in soon. Select
the sizes and shapes you
need for your tillage jobs.

LADY COP HAS LAST WORD . . . The gal with the gun is Detective
Laurette McDonnell, and her prisoners are Michael Faglo and An-
thony Caputo, two of four burglary suspects she spotted emerging from
a loft building in Broome street, New York City. Miss McDonnell, who
normally operates with the narcotics squad, fired several shots in an
attempt to halt the other two, who made off in a truck. She held Faglo
and Caputo until help arrived. -

time in hit ‘cry, that people have
known so much about an invention j
yet to be made.”
The space sip would tower 325
! feet into the air above the launch-
ing site, weigh 360,000 pounds ad
attain a speed of 25,000 miles an
hour. Power would be provided by
four rockets, one telescoped inside
the other, which would drop off one
by one as the ship roared upward
through the earth’s gravitational
sphere.
The fifth rocket, carrying the
crew, would coast to the moon once
it reached outer space. The return
journey would require far less fuel
because the moon, being smaller
than the earth, has little gravita-
tional pull.
St. Germain said liquid hydrogen
and oxygen would be the best fuels,
pending development of an atomic
engine. He added that the landing
on the moon would be made tail
first, with jets .and rockets acting
as brakes.

that he could talk about it for pub-
lication indicates that the craft is

CANEA, Crete—The final chapter
in Crete’s modern “Romeo and
Juliet” story, which made the head-
line’s of newspapers throughout the
world, was written recently when
“Romeo” was sentenced to two
years in prison.
A five-judge court convicted Cos-
tas Kefaloughianis, 32, of having
carried arms illegally when he
whisked away the daughter of a
rival clan leader. In addition, he
was fined 2,000,000 drachmai ($167).
Costa and Tassoula Petracogeori,
the girl he wooed and carried away,
were embittered Uy the verdict.

fair and he would, therefore, be
’compelled to do what he . had done
during the occupation. He did not
elaborate, but it was regarded as a
hint that he might try to escape.
Bride Is Upset
In Athens, his 19-year-old bride,
who is expecting a baby, wept. “I’m
all upset. If he has to serve his ।
time in Crete, of course I’ll return
to be with him.”
She vowed she never would give
up her husband despite the old fam-
ily feud and the objections of her
father, a member- of parliament,
who is a power in the Liberal party
of Premier Sophocles Venizelos.
Politics was a factor in the “Ro-
meo and Juliet” case. Costa’s
brother, Manual, head of the Kefa-
loughianis clan, is a Populist (Royal-
ist) member of parliament. Costa
insists that his arrest violated a
pledge by Premier Venizelos that
Costa would go free if his marriage
in a monastery chapel on Mount
Ida received the blessing of Arch-
bishop Spyridon of Athens. The arch-
bishop gave his blessing when the
honeymooners flew to Athens in
September.
Violence threatened for several
days after Costa had seized Tassoula
from the main square in Candia,
Crete’s capital, as she came out
of a movie and whisked her to a
mountain cave. Troops and police
joined irate Petracogeorgi clans
men in the hunt, but they never
found the couple.
Love From Afar
After about a week in seclusion,
the two made their way to the
monastery and were married. Then
they flew to Athens.
Costa said he had loved Tassoula
from afar for years, but that bad
blood between the families had
made it impossible to ask her fa
ther for her hand. She said she had
not loved Costa at first, but that
his daring and boldness impressed
her and “my love developed as J
was with him in the mountains.”
"Above all,” she said, “his be-
havior and respect were beyond re-
proach.”
In his final argument, the chiet
defense attorney stressed that kid-
napping a prospective bride was
not a new practice.
“Here in Crete, Sparta and the
ancient Greek land,” he said, “it
is a common practice and tradition
for strong men to steal their
brides.”
There ■ is no appeal from the
court’s verdict, given under an
emergency Greek law..
