Some of the nine died Of gun

to perish of cold.
TESTIMONY TAKEN
Preliminary testimony was
taken yesterday from some of
the accused, their relatives and
tribesmen.
They spoke through interpret
ers in a tent which served as the
courthouse for the judicial
party headed by Justice e. p.
Plaxton Of the Ontario Supreme
court-a party which took Is
days for the long trip north.
The story they told was one Of
long arguments over claims Of
two tribesmen to divine power,
of beliefs that Satan was driven
from the tribe by the deaths, and
of the burning of religious books
deemed no longer needed If
Christ walked again among
men.
Peter Sala and Charlie Ouye-
rack, whose claims to divine
power were said to have figured
in the fierce arguments, were
among the accused.
HAD GODS THOUGHTS?
Sala said he believed he was
God in thoughts but not in body.
Ouyerack said another eskimo
told him he was Jesus Christ
end thus he became convinced
that he was.
The eskimos normally are
peace-loving. Seldom has men,

ecuted for violation of the white
mans law. A verdict of guilty

datory. However, such SEN
tence can be committed by the
Governor General on the advice
of the Department of Justice.
One of the first cases taken up
here was the death of 15-year-
old Sarah Apawkok. Her BROTH
er, Alec Apawkok, was charged
with clubbing her to death with
q rifle carried by a tribeswoman
named Akcenik, also accused.
One witness told the court
yesterday the girl was killed be-
cause she refused to believe Sala
was divine. Another testified
she was struck because she failed
to do her work in the tribes
winter camp.
An eskimo woman testified
the other eskimos were pleased
when Sarah was dead-that they
believed Satan had been driven
from their camp.

PenoIosist Reveals Thot

Reason Rigid Penalties Unfair

why terms of Imprisonment
should not be fixed rigidly by
law, Huff added, in proposing a
systematic use of the indeter~
inmate sentence. This would
leave the period of confinement
at the discretion of represen-
tatives of q coordinated COR
rectional service.
Regardless of the nature of
the crime, a convict should be
paroled as soon as he is ready
to take his place in society and
the community is ready to ac-
cept him, the penologist said.
This may mean actual life
times in prison for some, even
though their offense may not
be great, and 1t may mean the
early release of others whose
crime may be serious.
Huff urged that Prison and
Parole officials start looking
for reasons for releasing con-
victs the minute they land in
the penitentiaries or reforma-
tories. This course includes a
determination of what caused
the person to commit the crime,
and efforts by penologists to
remedy his condition.
But the community must be
ready to receive the convict be-
fore he can be released, Huff
said; if society will not trust
him there is no occasion for
turning him loose.
The criminal who CANDLES on

reforming because he sets out

Murphy Urges
Aid 10 Reds
knights Of Columbus
Heovs Ex-Governor

sATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug.
2O-R)-The Knights of Column
bus, militant enemy of Commun-
ism, had before 1t today a plea by
Supreme Court Justice Frank
Murphy that Catholics and 9TH
er Christians join in aiding Rus
STA during her war with Ger
many.
In a speech before the fra
ternity's seth annual convention,
Justice Murphy asserted Naziism
constituted greater menace to
the Church than did Commun-
ism, and that helping Russia at
this time wouldn't mean embrac-
ing her political and economic
doctrines.
Fifteen hundred delegates, re-
presenting 419,000 members of
the Catholic order, cheered loud
ly last night when Justice Muir
ply said:
1--WE stand against Commun-
ism, but we should not permit
this to blind us to our own in
terest and to the major fact that
the great and immediate threat
to our position and standing as a
great nation is Nazi Germany
with its inordinate ambitions, its
hated philosophy and its superb
military organization"
After weighing Communism
and Naziism at length, the jurist
said that neither was acceptable
to the people of the United
States.
But" he added, I'VE know
that Naziism. with its superior
competence add perverted in
telligence, its extraordinary en-
ergy and missionary zeal, its pro-
found belief in racial superior
ity and destiny, its fanatical in
tolerance, and above all its ire
mendous military power and
skill, is by far the greater men,
ace to free nations and free in
situations. 1t is at present the
real menace"
The jurist said it was abund-
antly clear that under Nazi
rule no religion would remain
free" and that "any concessions
thus far made to religious bod
les have been made solely for
reasons of convenience and op-
portunism.
Paul v. McNutt, Federal Sc
curity Administrator. spoke OF
the German conquests as "evil
forces loosened upon the world
from which no nation and no
people are safe" He pictured
Americans AS "rudely awakened
and heroically responding to the
danger"
