Jeffra and Promoter GET
Six Months in Draft Case
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, May 29.-Harry
Jeffra, one-time holder Of two
worlds boxing titles, and Nathan E
Phillips, Baltimore fight promoter
were sentenced to six months i'm
'prisonment each IN Federal Court
yesterday for violating the wartime
draft act.
Citing Jeffra's reputation as a
fighter, Judge william c. Coleman
said it is q "sad commentary" that
the former bantam and feather
weight champ, should "circumvent
the law that requires him to fight
for his country"
Jeffra was convicted specifically
Of causing the promoter to make q
false statement in a letter to Jeffra's
draft board. Phillips was found
guilty by the jury on a charge Of
making the false statement. Both
defendants pleaded innocent.
