WHILE SHE PRAYS Brooklyn Assassin Then Makes New York, Jan. 13 (UP)—Sorrow visited the Italian tenements of PBrooklyn today while thousands mourned for Mrs. Rose Licata, known as ““The Saint,” who was shot to death as she knelt in prayer be- fore the altar in her home last night. ‘While Italians from all over the city, who had prayed with their “Saint” and felt the comfort of her blessing, tried to console her grief- stricken husband and five children, police scarclied for Santo Nicastro, the assassin. Nicastro was believed a religious fanatic. He ed the tenement shrine of M I a often, praying for hours in the room dimly-lighted by tall tapers and adorned with statues and relics of the Saints. But Mrs. Licata feared him. “He spoke of killing me as a sac- rifice,” she told her hushand one day. But the hushand laughed her fc away, and yesterday alternoon Mrs. Licata welcomed Nicastro without alarm, Another woman, Mrs. Rose Lom- bardi, had come a few minutes earlier, to p that the baby she was expe might be a b With “The S and Nicastro, she kneeled be: the crude little altar. They praved for three hours. ‘Then suddenly Nicastro rose. Mrs. Tombardi saw the gleam of frenzy in his black cyes. Terror-stricken she watched him slowly draw a volver from his pocket and, with- out a word, the kneeling form of Mrs. As she sank to the floor h A 9-year-old son found the wringing her hands wailing over the body when he entered the hous two hours lute He sereamed an alarm, and neighbors filied the tene- ment, increasing the w ng. When the police were notified and ob- 1uined a description of the slayer, Nicastro had had ample opportun- ity to escape and hide.

"'l‘h‘necretzry explained that yes- terday,” answered Robinson. *Then this allocation for each year does not meet the approval of the budget?” inquired Vinson. “I understand the budget has ap- proved,” replied Robinson. “Who caused a completion date to be left out of the program,” asked Representative, Britten of senjor republican committee mem- ber. “I believe, although T cannot say positively, that the secretary of the navy. after consultation with the president,” replied Robinson.

He said he believed he would have [the support of the whole house farm i‘hloc membership, and Representa- |tive Garner, of Texas, democratic {leader of the house ways and mea'd committee, which would have juris- | diction over the Dickinson measure, predicted that the minority would {vote ‘to bring the bill to the house floor.
