Pole Who Fled Reds
Arrives Here, Tells Of
Russians in Korea
By Charles J. Yorbroueh

Russian pilots who have flown
combat in Korea have been lee
turing Polish Air Force flyers, a
young Pole lieutenant declared
here today.
He was 1t. Franciszek Jarecki,
who, on March S. delivered a
Russian MIG to the allies on
the Danish island of Bornholm
in an escape he had planned for
months.
The handsome, 21-year-old
Polish flyer arrived in Washing
ton shortly before noon by train
and went Immediately to Capitol
Hill for luncheon with members
of Congress of Polish descent.
Seeking Asylum in u. S.
Even as he arrived, two bills
were being readied in the House
and Senate, giving him perma-
nent asylum in this country. In
the House, the measure is . CO.
sponsored by Representatives
Machrowicz, Democrat, of Mich
igan and O'KonSki, Republican,
of Wisconsin. In the Senate, the
bill is sponsored by Senators
Kennedy, Democrat, of Massa-
chusetts and Ferguson, Republi-
can, of Michigan.
Lit. Jarecki is on q national
tour under auspices of the Pol
Fish-American Congress, carrying
the belief that IF a free Polish
army is formed. many of my
companions would join up" He
also says that the men he left
behind in the Polish Air Force
and the Polish people themselves
believe that a new war is i'm
mlnent.
Lectured on Sabres.
Through an interpreter, Capt
Ludwik Lulenski, 1t. Jarecki de-
clared that for some time prior
to his escape, Russian Air Force
pilots lectured the top men in
the Polish air arm on tactics
and capabilities of American
warplanes, particularly the
Sabre.
"One," he said, 'was a Maj
Logvinow, who. we were told
had been flying combat in
Korea. They told us how it is
best to approach your heav;
bombers for good firing posi-
tion"
Through all the lectures, the
lieutenant went on, the Russians
claimed constant superiority o1
the MIG over the American F-8t
Sabrejet.
The urly-haired Pole had beer
flying MICS since April. 1852. He
said the best speed he was ever
able to attain was Mach .91-
within nine units of the speed o1
sound-760 miles an hour at see
level.
"They could do Mach .92," hi
said. but they told us they
would corkscrew (spin) at thai
speed"

Complaint includes
Furniture Damage
And Accusations

A second precinct policeman
was suspended today after two
couples complained he invaded
their home. broke up furniture
and accused a married woman
of running a house Of prostitu-
ton.
The suspended policeman was
Pvt. William D. McMann, 26,

precinct in 1850 after an earlier
tour at the eighth precinct.
Capt. John E. Winters, COM
manding the second precinct,
gave this account of Pvt. Nc
Mann'S activities:
About 5 am. Wednesday, Pvt.
McMann was riding the patrol
wagon when he and his partner
got a call to pick up two pris-
oners at N and Six-and-a-half
streets NV. While his partner
and the arresting officers were
putting the prisoners in the back
of the wagon, Pvt. McMann dis
appeared.
A short distance away on Six
and -One-Half street, according
to the complaints given Capt.
Winters, a woman was reused
by knocking on the door and as
she went to open it, Pvt. Nc
Mann stepped inside. The door
was unlocked.
The policeman accused her Of
being the madam" in a house
of prostitution. He proceeded to
break a lamp, a table and some
phonograph records and then left
the premises.
Capt. Winters said the house
had once been suspected as a
house of prostitution but it had
been vacated and the two COL
ored couples moved in four
months ago. Both husbands and
wives were on the premises at
the time.
Capt. Winters said Pvt. Nc
Mann had never been in trouble
before and was not drunk when
he saw him 80 minutes after the
incident. Pvt. McMann's ex-
planation, the captain said, was
that he had heard rumors that
whisky was being sold illegally
on the premises and he stepped
in to investigate.

Dope Sentences
In D. {. Held
Above Average
Judge Laws Replies
To House Criticism
Of Narcotics Cases

Chief Judge Bolitha j. Laws
of U. S. District Court for the
District of Columbia today re-
sponded to criticisms of sentenc-
ing in narcotics cases here by
citing national figures to show
sentences here are 81 months
longer than the national average.
Judge Laws was commenting
on criticisms contained in the
House Appropriations Commit
tee report on Treasury and Post
Office Department appropria-
tions.
The committee said the Bu-
reau of Narcotics contended
with some justification" that
the deficiencies in narcotic law
enforcement here is due to in
adequate sentences.
The committee was referring
particularly to testimony given
during its budget hearings by
Federal Narcotics Commissioner
Harry j. Anslinger. Mr.. An
singer gave the committee a
table of 10 sentences in narcotics
cases in Baltimore, compared to
10 in the District.
Needs Complete Study.
81 don't think that to select
10 cases in Baltimore and COM
pare them with 10 in the Dis
trict without a complete study
of the cases is fair comparison, y
Judge Laws declared. "If a
comparison is made, it ought to
be on an overall basis and of
similar Individuals"
He cited these national figures
compiled by the Federal Bureau
of Prisons on average sentences
of Federal prisoners received
from the courts in the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1852:
The national average of sen.
tences in narcotics cases was 37.s
months compared with 3d.:
months in the District. The ma.
tional average in marihuans
cases was 80 months compared
with 55.6 months here.
Judge Laws said he thought
the national averages were a fal
more accurate way of checking
on sentences than the selection
of a limited number of case.
from one city.
The committee, in it's report
said it would bring the hearing.
to the attention of District Court
judges here Gin order to encour'
age better enforcement of tn,
narcotic and nlarihuaila laws"
Finds No Leniency.
Judge Laws said he would giv'
the matter careful study" HI
added, however, that when HI
checked on narcotics sentence
here on an earlier occasion h,
found no suggestion of leni
ency."
In the Baltimore Washington
figures presented to the commit
tee by Mr.. Anslinger, the highes
sentence in Baltimore narcotic:
cases was eight years and thu
lowest was three years. Tht
highest in the listed group here
was 20 months to five years plus
a $500 fine and the lowest was
six months to two years plus g
500 fine. However, there were
seven cases in the District where
a maximum of five years wa.
given compared to four in Balti-
more where the sentence was
five or more years.
Mr.. Anslinger said he was not
including the eight-to-24-yeal
sentences handed out by Judge
David A. Pine in the recent mar.
cotics conspiracy cases, but was
using average sentences here ir
comparison with Baltimore.
He added that five-year mini
mum sentences for dope peddlers
would result in the narcotics
traffic disappearing from Wash
inptOn.
