ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Feb.
26.-The commander of Fort
Richardson today ordered the
release TO- regular duty of four
soldiers after they had served
only three weeks of a six months
sentence for refusal to perform
duties on their Sabbath.
The four soldiers, members of
the Alaska mission of Seventh

by a military courtmartial after
refusing to participate in a
Saturday morning alert.
They were freed from the post

principle involved has been
established and he felt it was
unnecessary to continue the
punishment.
The men will continue to work
Sundays instead of Saturdays,
