Jaffe Fined $500
On Plea Of Guilty 10
Removing U. 5. Files

Philip Jacob Jaffe of New York
editor of Amerasia Magazine
pleaded guilty in District Court to-
day to a charge of conspiracy to
remove Government records and
files, on which he and two others
we're indicted in August.
Justice James M. Proctor fined
him $4,000 and arrangements were
made Immediately by Jaf1e to pay
the sum.
The indictment grew out of an
FBI investigation into missing pa
pers from the State, War and Navy
departments and other Government
agencies.
Justice Proctor said he accepted
the statement by Jaffe's counsel
that Jaffe had no intention of
harming the Government. Jaffe was
represented by Attorneys Albert E.
Aren't of Washington and Arthur
Sheinberg of New York.
Appealed for Leniency.
Attorney Robert M. Hitchcock,
special assistant to the Attorney
General, pointed out to the court
that Jaffe had no prior criminal
record and expressed the view that
nothing would be gained by placing
him on probation. Counsel for Jaffe
declared he has already been made
to suffer more than his due" and
expressed the hope the court would
show leniency.
Jaffe's attorneys said he had
served as managing editor and editor
of the magazine for eight years
without compensation and that he
had tried to keep the magazine alive
at considerable financial sacrifice to
himself.
Earlier he had pleaded not guilty
to the charge of removing Govern
men records, including State De-
partment papers.

rant. He further claj rs that state
ments by him were induced by his
alleged illegal detention. All mo-
tions were filed in Mr. Larsens
behalf by Attorney Arthur j. Hill
land. In a motion to quash the
indictment, it is claimed that evil
dence upon which the indictment
was returned was illegally obtained
