Two Mysteriously
Shot In Greenwich
Village Crowd
NEW YORK, (/P)—A tall man
wearing an army jacket casually
strolled up to a group of people
chatting on a Greenwich Village
stoop shortly before midnight 1 is4
night, drew a gun, fired a number
of shots at them, and then casuaKy
strolled away—leaving two dead
and two others wounded.
Police said the man made his
get away easily as the crowds on
Tenth St., near Bleecker St.,
where the shooting occurred were
thrown into panic. Crowds poured
out of nearby Village nightspots
when they heard the fusillade.,
Women screamed as the wounded j
lay writhing on the ground while
others ran for cover.
The dead were identified as
Patsy Graziano, 19, an army vet
eran, and* Mrs. Raffaela Passorel
la, 66. Police said the woman, al
though wounded in the back,
might have died of shock or a
heart ailment.
Assistant chief inspector Ed
ward Mullins said the shooting
was a complete mystery and wdh
I out an apparent motive.

the plan into effect.
Pepper said he thinks the Re- |
publicans are “attempting to lay!
a predicate for the 1948 earn- I
paign.” He said he will be on hand j
at all committee meetings to look
out for his party’s interests. Pep
per added that he thinks the com
mittee is stepping beyond the
bounds of its authority but re
marked that the Republicans have
the votes to go ahead with the in- J
quiry.
Senator Ferguson (R.-Mich.),
another committee member, pooh
poohed Pepper’s claim of politics.
Ferguson said the committee in
tends to “look into a matter of the j
defense of our nation” and can’t'
[
be stopped by any such tactics as j
those of Pepper.
“We’ll let the facts speak for;
themselves at the hearings,” the
Michigan Senator commented.

Higher Prices
Appear Certain
For 1948
• By The Associated Press)
The nation’s consumers, jug
gling their budgets to cope with
continued high prices, found little
if any cheer today in a prediction
by the bureau of agricultural eco
nomics on prices and supplies of
major foods and farm products
for 1948.
The outlook by the bureau indi
cated higher" prices were on the
way in several commodities, some
of which appeared headed toward
peak levels reached during and
after the first world war. Yester
day for the sixth consecutive day
the Associated Press index of the
wholesale prices of 35 commodi- j
ties set a new all time peak.
On livestock and meats, the
bureau said prices probably wil1
continue high and meat produc
tion was expected to drop nbout
10 pounds per person from the
1947 average per capita ’rate of
155 pounds.
Egg and poultry prices also are
expected to average higher than
uhis year, and dairy products may
be higher the first six months of
next year than in the first half of
1947. T acre may be a drop in ‘ne
last ha'f, the bureau said. *
