Justice David A. Pine, who SEN

rather than on each of two counts
in which Trumbo was convicted of
refusing to tell the House Committee

October whether he was a member
of the Communist Party and the
Screen Writers Guild.
GAS I see it," Justice Pine said,
"the matter involves one transac-

Justice Edward M. Curran, who
sentenced Lawson. did not hear oral
arguments today as Justice Pine did.
Lawson was indicted on only the
count of refusing to say whether he
was a member of the Communist
Party. Both defendants read writ
ten statements to the court.
Justice Pine said he saw in
Trumbo mature, experienced

said.
The Air Force said no immediate
transfer is contemplated for the
Strategic Air Commands 4th Fight
er Wing or 3l1th Air Reconnaissance
Division, both of which now are
based at Andrews.
Headquarters of the I'd Air Force,
a component of the USAF's Air De-
fense Command, will be transferred
from Offutt before the Strategic
Air Command is moved. Second Air

Tuesday the Legion team played a
much better brand of ball before
a disappointingly poor crowd and
