KENT APPEALS
FOR RETR|AL:

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. IL.
Opening his final battle to escape
a sentence of Is years in the peni-
tertiary, Major Robert C. Kent.
jr., scion of a wealthy and promi-
nent Virginia family, has filed a
petition for a writ of error with
the State Supreme Court of APP
pealS.
Major Kent, who served in
France on General Pershing'S
staff, was convicted in Fincastle
last summer of abducting Mrs.
Mary Jane Hastings, Blue Ridge
resort owner. whose body was
found in a lonely spot in Pennsyl-
vania last June.
While Major Kent also was
charged with the murder of the
woman, he was never brought to
trial on this charge, as it was i'm.
possible to determine when and
where she had been shot to death,
and under Virginia law the place
of death must be proved.
The writ of error, if granted,
would give new trial. The court
indicated a decision on the appn-
cation will be handed down next
week.

the Cook county council of the
American Legion.
Time For Action
Declaring the hour had arrived
for united action to drive out
enemies of the American form OF
government, he said:
Our land is filled with the
propaganda of alien 'isms.' The
agents of communism preach
their doctrine of destruction
openly. They have invaded our
schools and our churches. No
longer do they cloak their pur.
pose. In their newspapers and
from the public rOStrum they
are calling openly for a revOIu.

We stand firmly behind the Con-
StitutiOn of the United States.
We uphold the right of free
speech and free press. But free
of speech and freedom of the
press end where treason begins.

today by Frank M. Belgrano, jr.,
national commander of the Ameri-

the first annual American Legion
pilgrimage to the tomb of Abra-

He expressed fear of the grow
ing wave of Communism which is
sweeping the country, adding that
the time has come to put Com

the nation for good and to de-
eide that in America there is room
only for Americans.
The speaker flayed the United
States recognition of Russia, de-
claring that the Soviet Union has
failed to keep any of its promises,
and that recognition has been
used solely to build up a vast Com.

He said:
''The time has arrived to with
draw our recognition Of Soviet
Russia, to send back to Moscow
this army Of enemy aliens and
have return in this country of
the kind of Americanism that
Abraham Lincoln knew and
practiced."
