MEMBERS
OF COAST GUARD
GET JAIL TERMS
CBy Dispatch A. P. wire)

NEW YORK, Jan. SO.-The SEN
fencing today at Atlantic City.of eight
coast guardsmen to confinement for
a year in the naval prison at Ports
mouth, N. H, brought from Lieu
tenant Commander S. S. Yeandle OF
Washington, an outspoken criticism
of "those insidious forces which seek
to undermine the morale of the serv-
ice."
The eight men were sentenced for
offenses ranging from disobedience to
smuggling.
Lieutenant Commander Yeandle, who
is second in command of the coast
guard, said the guardsmen find 1t
easier to face the bullets of the rum
runners, and the perils of the sea-
than to bear the taunts and Jlbes
of their companions ashore 1t IS
this condition which makes the lack
of enthusiasm a big problem in the
coast guard, he believes, and causes
some of the men to accept the ever
present offers of rum runners.
The guardsmen go to sea in smau
75-foot boats. Lieutenant Commander
Yeandle pointed out. The boats pitch
badly, tossed by giant waves: Sheep
or hot meals are impossible. Night
after night the oil skin clad figures
keep their silent vigil under the
stars. For hours they lie plunging
about, prey for stinging spray and
chilling winds.
After days of this they return to
port to be greeted with such epithets
as Booze gobs" and Rum navy
men,"
1T is the lack Of public support
that is doing the most harm to the
morale of the coast guard" Lieuten-
ant Yeandle said. Especially Is this
true in the so-called wet communities
along the Atlantic coast.
Coast guardsmen stationed at the
picket boat house at Sandy Hook COM
plain that their wives are frequently
insulted on their way to the stores

Other coast guardsmen from base

erately assaulted ashore. At New
