Verdict Upheld
'0n Bachelor
In POWCase

The United States Court of
Military Appeals today upheld
the Army court-martial convic-
ton of Claude ]. Bachelor of
Kermit, Tex, on charges of
helping the Communists while a
prisoner of war in Korea.
The court. acting unanimously,
said "the evidence supporting the
findings of guilt" is over
whelming.
Bachelor was sentenced to life
imprisonment but this later was
reduced to 20 years.
He was convicted in 1854 on
two counts of informing against
fellow prisoners and three counts
of giving aid to Communist prop
Uganda, through leading discus
sion groups. making pro-Red
recordings and agreeing to take
part in subversive activities after
the war.
Contention Rejected
/. The appeals court rejected a
defense contention that it is nc
violation of law for a prisoner OF
war to inform on a comrade fol

ditions of all other prisoners.

E. Quinn wrote a brief separate
opinion in which he concurred il

class to which he belongs.

employees whose jobs were re-
classified to a lower grade
through no fault of their own
In these cases. the employees are
to retain their current salary
even though the grade of the jot
was reduced.
The Civil Service Commission
prepared to issue regulations
Supplementing the new law, in
which it defined Redistribution
as meaning 'any classification
action lowering the grade of the
employees position during his in
cumbency of such position with
or without a material change ir
duties or responsibilities, in
Guiding adjustment and replace
ment thereof with a successor
position"
However, Frank H. Weitzel
assistant controller general, in.
formed the commission the GAG
felt it was not the intent of Con.
gress to pay an employe higher
salary than the jobs dutie!
materially provided for. Mr.
Weitzel said the words with o.
without material change in duties
or responsibilities" should b.
changed to read without a mate
rial change in the duties O
responsibilities"
The csc complied with thi
request and, as a result, the sec
ton now reads: "Reclassificatiol
means any classification actor
lowering the grade of the EN-
ploye's position without a mate
rial change in the duties O.

Employe leaders declare thi
Interpretation might nullify {

For Recreation
Asked Of Board

Representatives of some 80
citizen groups took turns urging
more recreation facilities and
personnel at a meeting last night
of the District Recreation Board.
The board, headed by Henry
Gichner, had invited all in
terested groups to submit re-
quests for playground needs in
their neighborhoods.
From those requests, the board
will arrive at its estimated
budget figure for the 1858 fiscal
year.
Some 40 spokesman aired their
views at a two-hour meeting at
board headquarters. 3149 Six

lsideration of all requests. He
described them as entirely
Ijustifiable." He cautioned, how
ever. against over-optimism,
since the department budget
must bear the scrutiny of the
District Commissioners before it
goes to Congress.
The board announced plans to
open log all-day summer play
grounds beginning Saturday,
under the guidance of the
Neighborhood Centers Division.
Some $50 part-time leaders will
man them.
The board reelected Mr..
Gichner chairman, Frank Small

Elinor H. Mcclure, secretary.

Conviction Is Upheld
In japan Money Deal

The United States Court of
Military Appeals yesterday up
held the conviction of Nathan
Mallow. 33-year-old civilian en-
ploye of the Army who was
charged with prohibited money
transactions IN Japan.
The appellate court approved
a lower court fine of $4,000 and
"a jail sentence of six years.
Mallow was accused of wrong
fully purchasing more than $685.
900 in money orders, a sum far
in excess of his salary and al
lowances for the period involved.
According to a court officers
statement, Mallow banked about
100000 in 1858. a result of pur-
chases he made in Japan for
businesses in the United States.
