huge construction program which is
to provide $4,000 planes this year

plete this phase of their training
on August 5.

uuired to complete 10 hours Of OBJ
server training during his sopho-
more summer camp.

BY ]. A., O'LEARY.

Agreeing with Senator Capper,
Republican, of Kansas that
Washington is "a wide open city"
in the sale of liquor, Wilbur La
Roe, jr., of the washington Fed
Grafton of Churches suggested to
a Senate subcommittee this aft
ernoon that it consider tighten

Mr.. La Roe said the pending bill,
banning price advertising and ex-
tending the dry zone around
churches and schools from 400 to
900 feet, appears to be step in the
right direction, but an utterly
inadequate solution" At the same
time he suggested the possibility of
encouraging monopoly should be
considered If too broad q restriction
is placed on advertising.
The witness, who is also member
of the District Parole Board, COM

in grocery stores and its display in
drug stores, where young people go
to buy ice cream sodas. He said his
work on the Parole Board has en-

Mr. La Roe said he did not want to
be unfair to the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board, adding that Chair
man Thomas E. Lodge has Coop

adopted by the board have been

LEESBURG, Va, Feb. Life
imprisonment was the penalty
imposed in Circuit Court here
this afternoon on Herbert Bucke
Porter of Brentwood, Md, and
Paul Bernard Hoback of Blue
field, w. Va, 16-year-old youths
who pleaded guilty to the muir
der of Ward Loveless, Washing
ton attorney, during the robbery
of his home near here Novem-
ber "a.
The boys were sentenced by Judge
j. R. H. Alexander after a three
hour hearing in which the State
proved the crime with a brief out
line of its mass of circumstantial
evidence. The defense offered no
testimony.
Death Penalty Asked.
Commonwealth Attorney Charles
F. Harrison asked the death penalty
in a summation of the case. He
termed the crime one of the most
brutal and ca,lous in the annals Of
Loudoun County. In a brief reply,
State Senator Aubrey Weaver. chief
defense counsel, urged the extreme
youth of the defendants as an argu-
ment against the electric chair, and
pointed out that the law gave the
court wide latitude, permitting any
penalty from 20 years to death.
In imposing sentence, Judge Alex
ander said he did not believe the
ends of justice required imposing
the death penalty on two 16-year-
old boys who had not reached suffl-
cient maturity to give them an ade-
quate understanding of the conse-
quences of their acts. He then SEN
fenced them to serve the rest OF
their natural lives" in the State
Penitentiary at Richmond.
Mothers Cling to Boys
The boys took the sentence with
impassive faces, though young Ho-
back gulped hard. AS court was
adjourned, the mothers Of both
boys rushed forward weeping and
threw their arms around their sons.
The mothers clung to their boys
for several minutes, and then deputy
sheriffs led the boys, handcuffed to
each other, back to the county Jail.
The body of Mr.. Loveless was
found stuffed in a china closet of
a breakfast room of his country
home. He had been shot four times
and beaten on the head. Several
days later Porter and Hoback were
arrested at Appalachia, Va, after
they had abandoned Mr.. Loveless'
automobile at nearby Cumberland,
KY, and fled on foot.
