DETROIT, Dec. 22.-Coach
Buddy Parker of the Detroit
Lions comedies the Cleveland
Browns one-two fullback punch
of Harry Jagade and Marion
Motley gives them an edge in
that position for Sundays pro
football championship game.
THAT Motley may be 49,"
Parker says, But he plays like
% against us. We; can't seem to
stop the guy. And Jagade-"he's
one of the toughest in the league
to bring down."
Parker must fret when he
thinks of this one-two punch. He
hasn't had even one full-time
fullback all season.
Bob Hoernschemeyer, normally
halfback, will start at fullback
against the Browns. Gene Ged-
man, a rookie from Indiana Uni
versity. will fill Hoernsche-
meyers halfback spot.
Hoernschemeyer, an eight-year
veteran, had the greatest year of
his career-and it came at just
the right time for the Lions, who
were in desperate need of run
ming strength.
Age suddenly caught up with
Pat Harder, last years regular
fullback, and he was placed on
the inactive list in the middle of
the season. That left the Lions
without top fullback threat.
Ollie Cline, the former Ohio
Slater. was tried at the position
but was too slow. Lew Carpen-
ter, rookie from Arkansas, gave
it a Whirl but his inexperience
was apparent.
Then Parker turned to Hoern-
schemeyer. who responded with
solid, if not sensational play. He
led the team in ground gaining
for the fourth straight year, with
482 yards. and was the third best
pass catcher, with % receptions.
His play. both at halfback and
fullback, gave balance to the
Lions backf1eld.
Jagade led the Browns with
244 yards. He bulls into the line
like man trying to break down
a door with his shoulder.
Motley, used in spots, gained
16l yards. He was the Browns
most potent ground weapon in
last years playof game, won by
the Lions, 17-7.

The Controller General ruled
today that Senator Jenner, Re-

titled to the military disability
payments he has been drawing.
Frank Yates. acting Controller
General. said the law bans such
disability payments to persons
on the Federal payroll unless
such disability was received dur
ing combat.
Mr.. Yates cited the Economy
Act Of 1882 which bans dual pay
ments to Federal employees. He
said Senator Jenner has offered
to repay the disability pay
ments he has received since be-
coming a Senator in 1916.
A former Air Force captain.
Senator Jenner has been re-
ceiving disability payments for
an eye ailment which began
while he was in the Air Force and
continued after his retirement.
Air Force spokeSmen said SEN
ator Jenner has been receiving
payments Of $179 a month. Prior
to last years military pay boost
the payments were $50 q month,
they said.
The Senator has been drawing
the payments since 1914, the
spokesman said. The payments
have been held up since Sep
tember when the question of
their legality arose.
The legality Of the disability
payments was CHALLENGED last
year by Paul Butler, Democratic
national committeeman from
Indiana.
Mr.. Butler said Senator Jen-
ner did not deserve" the COM
pensation. because he never saw
combat duty.
Senator Jenner was quoted at

htical campaigns since 1914 and

ers today were sentenced to three
years in prison-a fate they
preferred over banishment to
Russia.
They also were fined $4,000
each
Five other convicted party
leaders were sentenced to two
years in prison and $4,000 fines
each. The other defendant got
one year in prison and a fine
of $4,000.
The 13 were convicted under
the Smith Act of 1910 of con-
spring to advocate violent revo-
luton against the Government.
Maximum sentence is five years
in prison and $4,000 fine. They
were convicted January 81.
Woman Gets Three Years.
The three-year prison terms
were given Elizabeth Gurley
Flynn, Pettis Perry. Alexander
Bittelman, Alexander Trachten-
berg, Victor j. Jerome, Louis
Weinstock and Arnold S. Johnson.
Those sentenced to two years
each are Albert F. Lannon, Betty
Gannett, Jacob Minded, William
w. Weinstone and George Blake
Charney.
Claudia Jones, a British sub
ject from Trinidad, got one year.
Federal Judge Edward j.
Dimock said he was not fixing
the maximum penalties because
he felt Congress did not intend
such punishment for conspiracy
to violate the Smith Act.
The act makes teaching and
advocacy" of forcible overthrow
OF the Government a crime.
Each Makes Final Plea.
The judge said the top penalty
in his opinion was intended
only for "the worst conspiracy
to commit a specific crime.
He handed down the sentences
after the 13 yesterday heatedly
rejected his suggestion that they
might go to Russia rather than
Jail.
Before fixing the penalties he
gave each defendant chance
to make a final plea to the court.
The last of the defendants,
Charney. 47-year-old party trade
union leader. declared-like the
others before him-that he and
his fellow defendants have no
regret for their conduct.
Innocent people have no
reason for remorse," he said,

others. 1--WE are people of prin-
