EislerAppeal Prepared
After Sentencing 10
4 10 ; Years in Jail

Attorneys for Gerhart Eisler
avowed Communist, today prepared
an appeal for their 50-year-old
German-born client, sentenced to
serve from one to three years in
jail for making q false statement to
the State Department in applying
for an exit permit In 1945.
Justice James w. Morris, who i'm
posed sentence yesterday in District
Court, allowed Eisler to remain free
under $4,000 bond, pending appeal.
The stocky little German, who
has been called Americas No.
Communist by the House Un-Amer-
ican Activities Committee, delivered
17-minute address, prior to SEN
tence, in which he attacked the
committee, the Justice and State
Departments and politicians"
Asks to go Home"
The defendant appealed to the
court to be allowed to return to
Germany "in order to participate
in the building of a peaceful and
democratic Germany"
"A man has right to 60 home
q man who has never harmed the
American people and would never
harm then," he declared.
Before imposing the sentence, the
justice noted that there ARE cir
cumstances In your case which
should be considered In mitigation
Of the maximum penalties fixed by
law" The maximum is five years
in jail and 5000 fine.
The court ruled that the sentence
was to be served consecutively to the
sentence imposed last year for con-
tempt of Congress.
Appeals Former Case.
In the latter case, Esler was fined
81 900 and given a one-year sentince.
This case is to be heard before the
