Sentence
 Maxi General

Rome. Oct. l2-(UP)-A Nve-man American Military Commission to- day sentenced German Gen. Anton Dostler to death before firing squad for ordering the summary ex- ecution of IS American soldiers in violation of the Geneva convention.
 The court, in a precedent-setting verdict hat may affect hundreds of German officers, dismissed a de- fense argument that Dostler merely was carrying out the command of a superior officer, in this case Marshal Albert Kesselring, then German commander in Italy.
 Witnesses at the trial testified that Dostler had countermanded the original order for the execution of the IS soldiers. but had been obliged to obey at risk of court mar tial when Kesselring's headquarter insisted on the execution.
 The IS American soldiers, mem- bers of the OSS, parachuted into northern Italy to carry out sabotage behind the German lines. The pros- ecution pointed out that they were wearing American uniforms at the time of their capture and were en- titled to treatment as ordinary pris- oners of war.
 Instead, the soldiers were executed without trial.
 Dostler stood stiffly at attentian as Maj. Gen. Lawrence Jaynes, nraeida,1t If tha commission Ylr0- nounced sentence. He then bowed stiffly from the waist, turned on the heels of his black boots and walked from the room, his face expression- lesS

Independent Democrats Challenged
 Legality of Recent
 Moves Questioned

Friends of Alderman William Ger ardi (R) yesterday were questioning the legality of nominations made by the Independent Democratic party. Gerardi was the only one who was not indorsed by that party when they named the entire Republican ticket at a convention held Wednes- day at l2:30 a. m. because of de- lay in publishing legal notice. The Independent Democrats nominated Shea instead of Gerardi.
 It is alleged that the nominations are Illegal because:
 Peter Ward, secretary of the 1n- dependent Democrat Party was nominated for alderman by the Re- puhlicans prior to the Independents convention, and later presided as secretary of that convention. Ac- cording to friends Gerardi, a state law provides If a member of one par- ty Is nominated for office by an- other party he immediately loses his standing as a member of his orig inal party.
 It is also alleged that the city con- vention at which Gerardi was dropped was illegal because a pub lished notice which appeared Sum- day called the meeting for Tuesday night, Three days from the date of publication are required for such meetings, according to law. Friends of Gerardi declare holding the meet- ing aftar midnight makes It's action illegal.
 Two years ago, former Sen. John F, Tobin, one of the founders of the party, declared 1t no longer legally existed as party because he claimed only about i6 voters were legally members of 1t.

UNCLE SAM NEEDS
 5000 PHYSICIANS
Urgent Call Sounded for Medical Aid in Caring
 for Casualties

The urgent need of 5000 addi- tional doctors has affected the opening of a top priority procure ment campaign for physicians in the 45-60 age group, which offers commissions as lieutenant con1- manders, Commander Thomas A. Gaylord, U. s. N, announced yes- l terday.
 The special appeal was precipi- tated by mounting casualties from the Pacific area where the battle is growing in intensity, Commander Gaylord said.
 Doctors in the older age groups are assigned to hospitals, dispen- saries and other naval activities ashore.
 Reclassification of physicians de- siring to enter the service will be given full consideration. Organic physical defects will constitute cause of rejection, but waivers will be granted by the Navy for defects which were formerly disqualifying such as variations from specifica- tions for height and weight and de- fective vision.
 Full information regarding the new regulations may be obtained at the Office of Naval Officer Pro- curement, 90 Church street, New York city.
