Let Tk = T1#...#T1 T1 = Sl x Sl, Uk = ℝP2#... #ℝP2, and G is a finite group. We prove (1) Every free action of G on Ul + 2 lifts to a free action of G on the orientable two fold cover Tl+1 → Ul+1 and (2) The minimum k such that can act freely on Tk is ml((l - 2)/2) + 1 if m = 2 or l is even and ml((l - 1)/2) + 1 otherwise.
