The 4-to-12-year sentence imposed by Judge
Luther Youngdahl on Samuel B. Lewis, ira
sentence that is sngularly inadequate in view
OF the record of this savage criminal-passes all
understanding.
Here is the record
Assault with intent to commit robbery
and mayhem on Stephen L. Pearson, So.
Lewis, 18-year-old AWOL airman, kicked out
his victims eye in the course Of this robbery
attempt He pleaded guilty. Sentence, one
to three years on the two charges.
Robbery of Adolph j. Thiele 64, who was
Knocked down. kicked, and who lost some
Of his teeth. Plea, guilty. Sentence 6 to 10
months.
Robbery of Robert Thompson s. who
had tooth knocked out. Plea, guilty. Sem
tence. 6 to 1S months.
Robbery Of John E. Harren 50. knocked
down, broken nose, head injuries. Plea
guilty Sentence 6 to 1S months.
Robbery of Henry Martlew. 50, knocked
unconscious. jaw broken eye injury. Plea,
guilty Sentence, to lS months.
Robbery Of Eli Dzidich 81, three-inch cut
on head. Plea, guilty. Sentence 6 to 1S
months.
Attempted robbery Of Lewis Manning, 81.
The thug was pounding Manning's head on
the sidewalk when the police, who had spent
some 5000 volunteer hours working on the
case, arrived and caught him in the act. Plea,
guilty. Sentence. 6 to 1S months.
This, then, is the record on which Judge
Youngdahl concluded that to IL years was an
adequate sentence for one of the most vicious
criminals ever turned up in this CRIME ridden
city. In four years Lewis will be eligible for
parole. With good behavior, he will serve, at
most, eight years. Then, when he is 26, he
will be turned loose on some unsuspecting
community.
Where can the public look for the protec-
tion to which it is entitled when a Judge sees
At to impose such relatively minor sentences in
such an aggravated case? When brought Lefore
the court, Lewis, to be sure, said that he was
"sorry." But this did not seem to impress
Judge Youngdahl. For he said that he was
profoundly shocked and that he had never seen
a more aggravated situation. Nevertheless, in
eight offenses carrying possible maximum
penalty of los years, he imposes a sentence
that probably will run for eight years.
The conclusion seems obvious. This IS a
shocking instance of abuse Of judicial dis
cretion in imposing sentences. It is the sort
of thing that lends force-and rightly SOTO
the movement in Congress to deprive Judges Of
some of their discretion in this respect.

Suspects Milk Cartons
William d. Garvey.

It Is requested that your paper under
take survey Of carton milk being sold
in the Washington area. 1t is my.
observation that purchasers are not
receiving full quantity for which they
are paying.
Try purchasing several quart cartons
of various milk companies and pour
the contents into quart milk bottles.
If your findings confirm the fact that
often cartons do not contain a full
quart, you then could employ more ex
acting methods of checking.

Editors Note: The District Depart
ment of Weights, Measures and Mar
kets frequently spot checks milk car
tons in stores but has found nothing to

Inspectors do not go by the level of milk
in the container, but rather by what

tons also have tendency to bulge.
further causing the level to drop. Nor
would transferring cartons contents
to bottle be an accurate test, since
some milk bottles are made to hold
more than quart and are not filled to

velop slow leaks. which. Of course. Is

A. There are estimated to be almost
800, 900, aged 8 to 16 years. These boys
have the opportunity to learn golf
while they caddy and frequently be-
come fine players later in life. About
IS per cent Of golf's modern stars began

A. The metropolitan police are under

they at first wore top hats. There were
