CONVICTION OF EISLER
 I5 UPHELD
Americas No. 1 Commun- ist' Must Serve Sen-
 fence, 1 10 } Years

WASHINGTON, April 18.--tR-- The U. s. Court of Appeals today upheld the conviction of Gerhard Eisler, German born Communist, on passport fraud charges.
 Eisler, described as s"America $ No. Communist by the House Committee on Un-American Activ- ities, was convicted in Federal District Court August Is, 1947. He was sentenced to serve one to three years.
 By a 2 to 1 vote the Appeals court turned down Eisler's conten- tion that the district court lacked jurisdiction because he filled out the application for an exit visa in New York and merely mailed it to the State Department.
 The passport fraud case was the second conviction for the squat bespectacled German-born Con- munist. In June, 1947 he was con- victed of contempt of Congress for refusing to be sworn for testimony before the House Committee.
 The Appeals court also sustained his conviction and sentence of a year in jail and $1,000 fine in that case. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, which held oral arguments in the contempt case three weeks ago.

BIG MANEuvER OF u. S. SOLDIERS IS
 STARTED. GERMANY
Seventy Thousand Wheel ed Into Position to
 RepeII Attaek"
By JAMES DEvLIN

NUREMBERG, Germany, April
 18-LR R- Seventy thousand United
 States soldiers in Germany wheeled into position today to repel an
 imaginary attack from "aggressor land."
 "Aggressor Lana" is an army
 term for a mythical enemy sched-
 uled to strike tomorrow from the
 direction of Czechoslovakia.
 Army officials insisted that the
 location and direction of the attack
 had no significance and that the
 war games are part of normal mili- ltary training. These April maneuvers, known ias Exercise Showers" got under way with American troops in all sectors of the U. s. Zone tumbling from their hunks to take field sta tions.
 The maneuvers will serve two purposes.
 The first is to give field training l, to American troops in Germany many of whom are fairly recent recruits,
 The second is to remind Europe that the United States is backing the Atlantic Pact with troops in the front-line position of the "cold war"
 A number of nations are sending observers to these maneuvers, but the U. s. Army has announced that Russian observers are not well come. This was in retaliation to the Soviet policy of excluding Ameri- cans from their maneuvers in Ger many.
