Propoeondist Thanks
Court for Fairness;
Coils Law Obscure

George Sylvester Viereck, Ger
man propagandist, was SEN
fenced in District Court today to
serve from one to five years in
prison for violations of the For
eign Agents Registration Act
prior to the United States en-
trance into the war.
The sentence, imposed by Justice
Bolltha j. Laws. followed Viereck's
convection July l6 by a jury which
found him guilty on six counts of
falling to inform the State Depart
ment that he was an agent of the
German Reich and for "wilfully"
concealing his activities from the
Government. The conviction carried
maximum of to IL years i'm
prisonment and $4,000 fine.
Year Spent in Jail.
In imposing the sentence, Justice
Laws said he had taken into consid-
Grafton the year Viereck spent in
District Jail after his first convic-
tion in March of last year on similar
charges. The Supreme Court re-
versed the first District Court con-
vlction. Justice Laws pointed out
that since Viereck had filed a pau
per's plea in his most recent trial
there would be no purpose in i'm
posing fine"
Defense Attorneys Leo A. Rover
and John j. Wilson, named by the
court to represent the New York
author and journalist. said they
would appeal the case. Justice Laws
earlier had overruled a motion by
the defense for new trial.
After Mr.. Rover had requested
the court to take into consideration
the fact that the defendant was "a
man CT high intelligence, Justice
Laws permitted Viereck to read a
prepared statement in which he
maintained that he was ."guiltless of
any willful violation of the law"
Thanks Court for Fairness.
Il wish to thank your honor for
the fairness with which you have
conducted my trial" Viereck said.
Il wish to thank you especially for
appointing as counsel for my defense

attorneys. In spite of all this. a
jury has found me guilty after de-
batting for nearly nine hours"

said that lone day the present war
emergency status will be lifted. The
question Of the Badoglio government
is only how to accomplish it (peace)
in manner as little painful and
with as little loss as possible for the
