ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 25.-The Mary
land Parole Board yesterday recon-
mended release under a conditional
Communication of sentence for Her
bert Cox, jr., now serving a 12-year
term on conviction of the second
degree murder of Granger C.
Browning in 1941.
Cox was convicted by the Hartford
County Circuit Court of numbering
Mr.. Browning while riding with him
and two minor girls from an Alex
andria (Va) tourist camp to New
York, the board explained.
The two girls were put on proba-
ton and later were released, the
board added.
Cox's communication was recon-
mended by the trial judge, Frederick
L. Coburn, and by a prominent
psychiatrist who had expressed the
belief that Cox, who was only l6
when the killing occurred, is not
potentially dangerous. Cox would be
returned to the care of his family
in New England.
Cox and his two companions, Ida
Mae Price, Is. and Leona Ellen
Cunningham, Ia, were arrested by
Portland (Me) authorities in Octo-
Der, 1941, after the youth admitted
shooting Mr.. Browning and hiding
the body in the woods along United
States Highway No. / near Como
wingo (Md) Dam.
Cox and the two girls had been
living with their parents in the
Martha Washington Trailer Camp
in Alexandria, where Mr.. Browning
also had been staying.
The youth was quoted by Portland
police as saying he shot Mr.. Brown
ing, who was driving them North
to look for jobs, when he made
unwelcome advances to the Price
girl.

Sgt. La Mari now has the diStinc-
tion OF being the only Supply Sgt. in
the Battalion to remain on his orig
inaily assigned job since activation
of the 758th in June, 1941 That
indeed is some accomplishment!
Booking around him here at Hua-
chuea,~ SGT. La MARI has obtained
permission to conduct morning de-
votions each Sunday and act as a
sort of adviser to the men. Every
Sunday morning can be heard the
teachings Of Sgt. .RevD. La Mari.
His vast knowledge of and love for
the Bible has really given the men
a high respect for him, respect
that he has successfully maintained
since first entering the Army.
Sgt. La Mari halls frcn New York
City. He was ordained a minister
of the Gospel in 1881 at Long Is
land, NY. His father is minister
of prominence in Prattville, Ala,
the Rt. Rev. William j. La Mari.
Since 1881 Sgt. La Mari has toured
the country as a travelling evangel-
ist. His teachings and personality
are widely known throughout most
of the southern and eastern states.
We say to Sgt. La Mari that We
appreciate the fortitude and sacri-
flee that he has and is still putting
forth in an effort to extend to the
men of the 758th even within the
Battalion Area. Our fondeSt thanks
go out to him in the profound hope
that he will be justly rewarded for
his splendid cooperation and unique
guidance. May he be as proud of
the men in the 758th as they are of
him!
