is A YEAR IN JAIL LONG ENOUGH?

Eight young divinity students, in the
city of New York, who refused to register
under the Selective Service Act, have been
sentenced to serve a year in prison for
their failure to comply with the law.
The youngsters consider themselves
martyrs. They eagerly sought the prison
term, even objecting to the obvious desire
of the prosecution that they comply with
the registration provision and then make
claims for exemption to which, as divinity
students, they were entitled under the
law.
No sympathy should be wasted upon
these men. If they are conscientious OBJ
jectors, the law gives them the opportunity
of avoiding service honorably. All of
them, as a matter of fact, were exempt
from military service because when the
law was passed they were divinity students.
If these students set themselves above
all law, in the land where they enjoy ex-
traordinary freedom, they should be
taught the lesson that they need. A year
in prison seems to be leniency; it may
take them longer thar year to learn.

Is there a soldier IN your life
who's putting a Christmas gift
wrinkle in your brow?

l secured the market for
Christmas gifts for soldiers and
then discussed the findings with
some ex-soldiers. Here IS a list
of suggestions seasoned with their
counsel:
If the soldier in your life has
clothes on his mind, consider a
khaki cashmere scarf that IS light
of weight but warm. Choose one
that is long and narrow instead
of square so that it won't make
hump at the back of his neck
Or remember him with khaki
socks Chick enough to cushion
his feet against heavy army boots
and long enough to keep his legs

Gloves might please him, too,
if you get them of cork-colored
pigskin which takes hard wear,
doesn't soil readily and stands
repeated washing. Get a slip
on, so there vii be no buttons to
tear off. But don't buy gloves
with the smart walled side; army
men say they're not neat enough
to pair with the uniforms trim

It's said that county officials are con-
sdering abandonment of the condemna-
army sub-airbase. They argue now that it
isn't at all fair to all the others to have
their land sell at low price just because
one person refuses to go along with the
commissioners on the premium price of
fered. It's logical reasoning-but will it
be productive of the airport. 1t would ap-
pear that public action will step into the
picture if condemnation is halted.

Triumph AS Mates Blast
Out 14-Hit Attack

CLEVELAND, May 29.-LR-
Bob Feller was below his best form
today, but aided by his Cleveland
mates 14-hit attack, had enough to
trim Detroit to 4, for his seventh
triumph of the season.
The victory repelled the Tigers
challenge to the second-place In
dams by dropping the invaders two
and a half games behind Cleveland,
and gave the home club one win
in the three-gam series.
Cleveland sewed up today's con-
test by blasting Southpaw I m
Seats for three runs in each of the
first two innings. Seats successors,
Johnny Corsica and Archie Nc
Kain, allowed nine blows for only
one more tally. Doubles by Jeff
Heath, Hal Trosky and Roy (Beau)
Bell contributed the important
punches, Bells blow driving in
three runs in the second.
The Tigers got eight hits off Eel
Ter, including Bruce Campbell s
first circuit blow of the season and
five two-baggers. The 21-year old
speedball king has lost only twice
this year-both times to the club
he defeated today.
