The husband and wife, parents of two children, are the first American citizens ever to be sentenced to death for spying against their country either in war or peace time. "I consider your crime worse than murder," said Federal Judge Irving R. Kaufman. "I believe your conduct in putting into the hands of the Russians the A-bomb before our best scientists predicted Russia would perfect the bomb has already caused the communist agression in Korea with the resultant casualties exceeding 50,000 Americans and who knows but that millions more of innocent people may pay the price of your treason." The judge said the trial "Indicates quite clearly" that an enemy nation is employing "secret as well as outspoken forces among our own people." He set the week of May 21 for their execution. Both Rosenberg, a 32-year-old electrical engineer, and his 35-year-old wife, showed little emotion at the sentence. Rosenberg's jaw muscles tightened.

TOYKO (UP)—Allied troops advanced in force north of Korea's 28th Parallel Thursday, aiming to throw off balance a massive Chinese buildup for a new red offensive. Resistance ranged from stubborn to light. The deepest penetration was a thrust nearly eight miles north of the old political boundary by an American task force on the central front. Spearheading the Allied drive along a 40-mile-wide front in Central and Western Korea, it dispersed an estimated enemy company near Chall. That is on the Uljongbu-Kumhwa road. The advance was made amid new field predictions that the Chinese had massed a half-million men on or near the front and had 3000 Russian-built planes ready for an offensive. This plane estimate, first given by intelligence sources to AP Field Correspondent Tom Bradshaw March 1, is many times greater than the number of planes used by the reds as far in sporadic air flights. The Allied central advance was pushing towards the red troop concentration area. Farther west, two American divisions, pacing an advance in a 10-mile wide sector, hit bitter Chinese opposition. These doughboys seized two hill masses by running over four Chinese positions. There was about a battalion (up to 1000).
