Mansfein Sentence Brings
Sharp German Reaction
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN, Dec. 20.-The German
press reacted sharply today
against the 18-year prison SEN
tence imposed by a British mill
tary court yesterday on former
Field Marshal Fritz Erich Won
Manstein for war crimes in Poland
and Russia.
Some Western editors said the
penalty was too much and too late
The Eastern Communist Ber-
liner Zeitung said it was too little,
Sharpest comment came from
Die Welt, British-zone newspaper
which frequently reflects the
official attitude of the British oc-
cupation forces.
THE sentence for Manstein is
hard" said Die Welt. 1T was q
shock for the German public which
had deemed a lesser sentence ap-
propriate."

It's the Same Thing
Only Different!

Frank B. Robbins, Jr., army and
army air force rccruitcr, has sprouted
a new insignia, but he isn't too cX-
cited about it. 1t doesn't mean a pro-
motion, Just the same rank under a
different name.
Formerly a master sergeant, he IS
now senior air sergeant. He now
wears inverted type chevrons Of silver
grey on dark blue. His air insignia
also has a circle around it.
1t is all due to recent changes in
army regulations which have given
the men of the army air force recog-
milton all their own. In the air corps
one is no longer Technical sergeant,
but an air sergeant first class. An
airman first class corresponds to
sergeant, airman second class to
corporal airman third class to army
private first class, and airman 4th
class to private.
The senior air sergeant announced
two enlistments for the week; Floyd
n. Rowan, Mt Lake Park, re-enlisted
for three years with the air force and
will be sent to Langley Field, Va, for
reassignment; and Alvin P. Shreve,
Of Gormania, enlisted for one year in
the air force. He will be sent to Lack
land air force base in Texas.

''Heartbroken" Makes
Winchell's Column

"Heartbroken," the new song which
Emeric Dusic, of Oakland, and Paul
Monda, of Thomas, wrote together,
which was broadcast for the first
time on Saturday evening, caught the
fancy of Walter Winchell, New York
columnist, who wrote in his syndi-
Gated release last Sunday, "Lorry
Raine has a potential near you called
'Heartbroken' which the disc-ioX will
go for" This recognition by the col
umnist is calculated to enhance the
songs possibilities.
Bea Boldan and the Don Large cho-
rus and orchestra's version of the
song was premiered last Saturday
over the Columbia Broadcasting sys-
TEN and was heard by large number
of people in this area.
Dusic said his telephone was busy
for several hours afterwards by con-
gratulatory messages from local peo-
pie and calls from friends in Pitts
burgh, Uniontown, Altoona, Cumber-
land, Baltimore and Thomas.
The concensus of opinion of those
who heard the program was that the
song should attain wide popularity
once it reaches the juke boxes and
disc-jockey programs.
The song was played on Friday eve
ming at the Rotary Ladies Night by
the Havanas sisters, and Pittsburgh
disc-joX are already beginning to
push the song.

Indictment of
Blair Robinett
Being Sought

Prosecuting Attorney John V. San
ders, Morgantown, w. Va, moved
yesterday to indict ex-army Sgt. Blair
Robinett, Oakland, on a charge of
false swearing" as the result of his
unsuccessful annulment suit against
his Filipino wife.
The annulment had been set aside
in a Morgantown court | a S month
after Robnett's claim he had never
married Jesusita Torres Y Cordero
was disproved.
Sanders said he would ask an in
dictment against Robinett at the
April term of the grand jury. He eX-
planned that according to West Viz
gnia law, perjury is an act of lying
under oath while giving material tes-
timony in a felony case. This carries
a penalty of one to ten years.
"False swearing, Sanders said, is
an act of lying under oath in all other
cases and carries a maximum fine of
$4,000 and up to one year in jail.
Observers of the trial said that it
appears the state will attempt to pin
its case on Robinett's home address
claim. The soldier had listed his home
address as Morgantown but testimony
showed he had visited there briefly
at the address claimed, only once or

Solicitors Begin
Drive For $1,000

Almost two hundred solicitors be-
gan a house to house canvass t h $
week throughout Garrett county in
the annual Red Cross drive for funds

group minimum of twelve lessons.

Mr.. jenkins said over rs passed the
requirements for beginner swimmer.
A recent survey of state schools

cities are able to swim than in rural
areas. The local chapter, he said, is

JUVENILE COURT
BILL FOR COUNTY
IS INTRODUCED
Act Would Confer Jurisdiction
on Trial Magistrates-Fraley
Gives Reasons for Bill

A senate bill to create a Juvenile
Court for Garrett County and setting
out the jurisdiction of the court, was
introduced this week in the Maryland
Legislature by Senator Neil C. Fraley.
This act does not set up a new Of
flee, Mr. Fraley pointed out, but con-
fers jurisdiction on the Trial Magis-
trates and the bill sets out in detail
what their jurisdiction would be,
something which he says is not now
in the law.
He also pointed out that at present
the county is exempt from the General
Law wherein jurisdiction is given to
the Circuit Court judges.
Some of the regulations in the bill
contain the following:
Trial Magistrates in exercise of
their powers shall sit specially at such
times and places within the county as
may be necessary for proper dis
charge of such duties, but no addition
al compensation shall be allowed
therefor.
The trial magistrates would have
jurisdiction in proceedings concerning
any child in the county who is with
out proper supervision, care or custo-
dy; whose occupation, behavior, en-
vironment or associations are injuri-
Gus to his welfare; who deserts his
home or who is habitually disobedient
or beyond the control of his parent or
other custodian; who wilfully and I'M
lawfully absents himself from school;
who violates any law or ordinance, or
who commits any act which, if COM
mitted by an adult, would be a crime,
not punishable by death or life i'm
prisonment.
This section would include man.
slaughter by automobile, unauthorized
use or occupancy of a motor vehicle,
or operating a motor vehicle while
under the influence of Intoxicating
liquors or drugs, but no other motor
vehicle laws.
The magistrates, under the bill,
could try parents, guardian or other
adult for any wilful act or commission
contributing to, encouraging or tend
ing to cause any condition bringing
a child within the jurisdiction Of the
court, and would be empowered to
commit a mentally defective child.
Intent of Bill Declared
The intent of the bill, according to
section 245C is "to secure for each
child coming within the jurisdiction of
the Judge such care, guidance and
control, preferably in his own home,
as will best serve the childs welfare
and the interests Of the State; to con-
serve and strengthen the child's fam
lily ties whenever possible, removing
him from custody of his parents only
when his welfare or the safety and
protection of the public cannot other
wise adequately be safeguarded.
The Judge is empowered to have
the County Welfare board make a
preliminary investigation to deter
mine whether the interests of the
child or of the public require that
further action be taken.
