U.S. Authorities Take Stand In Puertorican Revolt
SAN JUAN, Nov. 4.—United States authorities stepped directly into the Puertorican revolt yesterday by arresting four Puertorican nationalists, including Elio Torresola, brother of the man who was killed while trying to assassinate President Truman on Wednesday. The United States authorities involved are postal officials and federal marshalls. They charged the nationalists with burning the Post Office at Jayuya. Angry citizens tried to attack the nationalists as police were taking them from the police station to the court. The police had extreme difficulty conducting the rebels to safety.
