Jail Sentences Upheld
For Defense LAWYERS
Antics at Red Trial
by NE Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK. April Com
tempt sentences imposed on law
yers who defended the II con-
victed Communist leaders have
been upheld by the United States
Circuit Court Of Appeals in a 81
decision.
The sentences call for Jail terms
ranging from 80 days to 6 months
for the six men, including Eu-
gene Dennis. a Communist Party
official who acted as his own at
torney.
In sustaining the penalties. the
Court Of Appeals yesterday held
that the lawyers employed crude
antics" and "wilfully obstructive
tactics" during the nine-month
Red conspiracy trial.
The jail terms will tend to
deter imitation Of that behavior
in other trials" said the majority
opinion. written by Judge Angus
tus Hand. Judge Jerome Frank
wrote a separate concurring
opinion.
Judge Charles E. Clark dis
agreed. saying the lawyers should
have had a hearing before being
sentenced. However. he Joined
the other judges in criticizing the
attorneys conduct.
The contempt sentences we're
imposed by Federal District Judge
Harold r. Medina last Octyber at
the end of the trial in which the
II Red leaders were convicted of
conspiring to teach forcible over
throw OF the Government.
Further Appeals Possible.
Sentences of six months each
were given Harry Sacher Of New
York, Richard Gladstein Of San
Francisco and Dennis. George w.
Crockett, jr., Negro, of Detroit,
and Abraham j. Isserman of New
York. got four months, and Louis
McCabe of Philadelphia, 80 days.
The lawyers are expected to
ask permission to remain at lib
erty until appeals in the con-
spiracy case itself have been de-
cided. They also may seek to
carry the contempt sentences to
the Supreme Court.
Similar contempt sentences were
imposed Tuesday in San Francisco

East Reich Agreement
Reported for Mutual
Soviet Military Aid
BY ths kssoeiatsd Pres,

BERLIN. April 6.-Russia has
secretly bound the East German
republic to an agreement for
mutual military assistance, a res
ponsible political source claimed
here last night.
This source said the contents Of
the agreement are being disclosed
to officials Of Eastern satellite
countries now in Budapest cele-
brating Hungary's liberation by
the Red Army five years ago.
The agreement is in the form
OF a draft initiated by Soviet
negotiators and East German
Foreign Minister George Dertin-
ger, the source added.
West German Action Awaited.
The time for changing the draft
to a formal treaty depents on how
soon the rival Bonn Republic
enters the European Council and
whether it will then go on to mem
bership in the Atlantic military
system.
The source said Russia's i'm
mediate answer If West Germany
is definitely incorporated in the
Western defense lineup would be
a proclamation of East Germany's
adherence to the Eastern security
bloc.
All satellites except the East
German splinter state are now
militarily integrated by mutual
assistance pacts among themselves
and with the Soviet Union.
The largest satellite, Poland, has
Installed Soviet Marshal Konstan-
tin Rokossovsky as commander Of
its armed forces.
East Germany has a military
force of about $4,000 men, dis
guised as police preparedness
units" who undergo heavy infan-
try training under German Com
munist officers and Russian in
spectors.
Air Training Begun.
It has also taken the first step
toward recreating an air force by
introducing Soviet-approved
program of glider training for the
Communist Free German Youth" +"
Acceptance by other satellites
Of East Germany's growing role in
Soviet bloc military affairs is one
OF the important topics at the
Budapest meeting, according to
information here.
Traditionally, neighboring Po-
land and Czechoslovakia would be
deadset against Soviet rearming
OF Germans. But the East Ger
man republic is ready to soothe
their fears by final recognition of
the Oder-NeiSse frontier.
This recognition is reportedly
explicitly affirmed in the German
Soviet mutual assistance draft
taken to Budapest.

For 5 Trapped Miners

five men trapped in burning lead

Some so rescue workers, includ-
ing number of crews from near

yesterday to locate the missing
men, but were driven back to the

ment were ON hand.

NEW YORK. July 1.-THE CIO
American Newspaper Guild called
for extra heavy picketing today at
the strike-bound New York World
Telegram and Sun.
The striking Guild made the
move because the newspapers
asked last Thursday that members
of eight mechanical and craft
unions-mostly AFL-return to

The big afternoon newspaper
has not published since June 13
because members of the Mechani-
cal and craft unions refused to
cross picket lines of the Guild.

employed in the editorial and busi-
ness departments, struck June 13.

and other unionists have honored

Mr.. Barrett said the Guild
strikers "are still mastering very
vicious picket line and our status
is still tine same"
He said the printers "felt that
they could not risk personal in-
jury" by going through the picket
lines.
The back-to-work request was
the second such move by the
newspaper management since the
Guild struck in support of de-
mandS for a Stricter job security
clause, tighter union shop proL
visions, higher pay and other
benefits. Federal mediators have
