The following events occurred in November 1950: ==November 1, 1950 (Wednesday)== *Attempted assassination of Harry S. Truman: At 2:15 p.m., Puerto Rican nationalists Griselio Torresola and Oscar Collazo attempted to kill U.S. President Truman while he was staying at the Blair House at 1651 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. in Washington, D.C., while the White House was undergoing repairs. Collazo tried to break in through the front door, and shot U.S. Capitol police officer Donald Birdzell in the knee, but was wounded by three other Secret Service agents. Torresola fired multiple shots at White House police officer Leslie Coffelt and mortally wounded him, but Coffelt returned fire and killed Torresola instantly. Coffelt died several hours later. Collazo would be sentenced to death, but Truman would commute his sentnce to life imprisonment. On September 6, 1979, Collazo would be released after his sentence was altered to time served by U.S. President Jimmy Carter, and pass away on February 21, 1994.〔Stephen Hunter and John Bainbridge, ''American Gunfight: The Plot to Kill President Truman--and the Shoot-out That Stopped It'' (Simon and Schuster, 2007)〕〔“FOIL TRUMAN DEATH PLOT! 2 SLAIN; 3 SHOT IN CAPITAL”, ''Chicago Daily Tribune'', November 2, 1950, p1〕 *After having witnessed the "Miracle of the Sun" Pope Pius XII defined a new dogma of Roman Catholicism, the Munificentissimus Deus, which says that God took Mary's body into Heaven after her death (the "Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary").〔Jaroslav Pelikan, ''Mary Through the Centuries: Her Place in the History of Culture'' (Yale University Press, 1996) p216〕 *An American flight of P-51 Mustang fighters and T-6 Mosquito trainer aircraft, all propeller-driven aircraft, was patrolling the skies over North Korea when they encountered six Chinese MiG-15 jet fighters. The U.S. planes managed to evade the jets and return to base, but the event marked a change in the air war in Korea.〔John Darrell Sherwood, ''Officers in Flight Suits: The Story of American Air Force Fighter Pilots in the Korean War'' (NYU Press, 1998) p74〕 *Born: Robert B.
