PALMER TO ASK
RELEASE OF DEBS
Will Recommend Communication
of Sentence.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-Attorney Cen
eral Palmer has practically decided to
recommend the release Of Eugene V. Debs
from the Federal penitenuary at Atlanta
before President Wilson leaves office on
March (. It was learned.
Attorney General Palmer is still op-
posed to a pardon for Debs, but is under
stood to be favorably considering an
order for the commutation Of Debs SEN
tence.
President Wilson has indicated clearly
that he will not pardon Debs. but there
has been no indication of how he would
consider Communication of sentence.
The record in the Debs case was made
virtually complete today by the pardon
division Of the Department OF Justice.
The Debs case record IS q bulky file. in
Guiding a favorable review by the Atlanta
warden Of Debs' good conduct since be
coming an inmate of the prison. Debs'
good conduct rating, and other factors,
which have reduced 4 considerable part
Of the term Debs was to serve, forms an
important part Of the record.
