Nationalist Leader in Puerto Rico Eyes Violence
United States FBI and Puerto Rican authorities clamp down on the Nationalist party led by Pedro Albizu Campos after his followers, hundreds strong, allegedly plotted violence against Congress and President Eisenhower. Albizu, 62, once preached nonviolence but led a faction calling for Puerto Rican independence. He returned to politics after a life in the Army and years in a federal prison for the police chief’s murder. After a 1947 return he faced further assaults by students and was jailed for life before a pardon conditioned on leaving politics. The recent attack on the U.S. Congress followed.

1954 Is Good Year For Home Buyers
A Chicago spokesman for the United States Savings and Loan League says 1954 should be a good year for home buyers. Norman Strunk, executive vice president, notes ample houses old and new, ready mortgage credit, steady prices, and stable building materials costs the smallest annual rise since World War I. Veterans should find GI loans easier to obtain as interest rates ease and 4 percent loans become more attractive.
