2 Decorated Veterans Accused of Espionage
Washington—(U.P.)-Two decorated American war veterans were jailed here early today on charges of plotting to deliver U.S. military secrets to Russia through a Soviet embassy courier.
Oran Waterman, special assistant to the Attorney General on internal security affairs, said the two defendants were accused of conspiring to violate the espionage laws with Soviet Embassy Second Secretary Yuri V. Novikov—ordered ousted from the country yesterday for his part in the alleged spy ring.
Otto Verber, 31, and Kurt L $ ^8 $ Pronger, 39, were held under $50,-$000 bonds after being flown under heavy guard directly from Vienna where they were arrested yesterday.
The indictment, kept sealed until their arrest in Vienna, charged them with planning to deliver Russia "documents, writings, sketches, plans, maps, notes, instruments and information relating to the national defense of the United States."
Verber won silver and bronze stars for bravery with the Army in Europe during World War II. Pronger, like Verber a New Yorker, received a series of decorations, including a bronze star, for his Army service in Europe.
The two men—both naturalized Americans originally from Austria—arrived in Washington just before 1 a.m. aboard a special Air Force plane.
A federal grand jury indicted the two men on espionage charges Tuesday after hearing top secret testimony from high ranking Army officers.
They were scheduled to go before a federal judge later today for a formal arraignment.
It cited 14 alleged overt acts to carry out espionage with Novikov, starting in 1949, shortly after Novikov—a former Red army officer—arrived here.
The State department branded Novikov "persona non grata," in what was believed the first action of its kind against a member of the Russian embassy.
Mexico City (UF)—Pretty Patricia McCornick, who quit college to become a bullfighter, vowed from her hospital bed today that she would get back in the ring with the same bull that put an eight-inch gash in her leg.
Undaunted Torera Aims for Rematch
The young El Paso, Texas, girl was gored in the right thigh Tuesday by a large calf she was practicing with on the ranch of Ramiro Gonzalez in Aguascalientes states.
Doctors in Mexico City, where she was hospitalized, said the cut "won't too bad," and that she would be able to return to her career in about two weeks.
"When I get out of this bed," Miss McCormick said, "I'm going to get back in the ring with that toro and I'll be the one who walks out."

She said she would continue to fight bulls "until they get me or I'm too old to fight."

Naguib Won't Talk Defense Until British Remove Troops
Cairo, Egypt—(U.P.)—Removal of British troops from Egypt is an absolute prerequisite to Egyptian participation in any western Middle-East defense alliance, Gen. Mohammed Naguib said today.
In an exclusive interview with the United Press, the man who ousted King Farouk said Egypt will not even consider or discuss a Mid-Eastern defense pact so long as there are foreign troops in her territory.
And Egypt, he said, feels free to sell her cotton to Red China or any other country that wishes to buy, since Britain has ceased to be a customer.
The premier indicated Egypt has little patience to discuss further the issues involved either in the Suez Canal Zone or the Sudan.
The Premier's answers to a list of questions submitted by this correspondent were relayed through
Naguib's minister of national guidance, Fouad Galal.
The permier gave tacit approval to threats by some of his chief subordinates that Egypt will resort to guerrilla warfare to oust the British from the Canal Zone.
This correspondent asked: "Talks are going on in London and elsewhere on the formation of a Middle East defense organization. What is Egypt's attitude toward this proposed organization?"
"The answer is that Egypt cannot consider such a matter so long as there are foreign troops on her territory," Naguib replied.
