Sin Spy Trial

Guilty in London
Of Stealing British
Secrets for Russio

LONDON, Mar. % (AP).-I
Three men and two women
including an American couple
today were found guilty of
stealing Royal Navy secrets for
the Soviet Union and sentenced
to prison terms ranging from
Is to Is years.
Defendants in the trial in
the Old Bailey court and the
sentences handed down by
Chief Justice Sir Hubert Lister
Parker were:
Gordon A. Lonsdale, 81, de-
scribed by a Scotland Yard
superintendent as probably
member of the Soviet intelli-
gence service, Is years.
Peter j. Kroger. so. an Amer
ican the FRI in Washington
says is Morris Cohen, formerly
of New York. 20 years.
His wife, Helen, Al, 20 years.
Scotland Yard said she is the
former Lorna Petra, born in
Massachusetts,.
Harry F. Houghton, SIS, Brit
ish employe of the secret Royal
Navy research station at Port
land, IS years.
His fiancee and fellow worker
at the station, 46-year-old Miss
Ethel Gee, is years.
Plead Not Guilty
All five had pleaded not
guilty.
The stiff sentences, pro-
nounced one after the other,
brought muffled sounds of
surprise from the courtroom
audience.
On the official secrets statute
itself, court attaches had said
the normal sentence on con-
viction would have been three
to seven years.
But the chief justice en-
phasized that he saw the crime
as a violation of Britain's COM
mon law.
For a common law mis-
demeanor there is no maximum
sentence" he said.
2 Linked to Rudolf Abel
Discussing the background Of
the defendants in court before
the sentence were imposed,
Scotland Yard Supt. George
Smith said the Krogers were
linked by United States au-
thorities with Soviet master
spy Rudolf Abel four years ago.
Mr.. Smith said Abel-later
sentenced to 80 years for send
ing United States atomic
secrets to Moscow-had photo

effects when seized in New
York in 1857.

than the 81 billion in new
obligational authority recon-
by former President
Eisenhower in January.
But from that point on, the
Kennedy program will bear no
resemblance to the present
Setup, if Congress goes along
with his message. He would
bring about the most sweeping
revision of the aid program
since the Marshall Plan started
in 194S.
The Kennedy proposals in
clude $7.3 billion in five-year
loan authority to meet "the
crucial decade Of development"
abroad.
No Overall Price Tag
No overall price tag was put
on the program. But officials
figured the five-year total
would run several times the
$7.3 billion proposed for econo-
mic development loans over
seas.
In a special message to
Congress, Mr.. Kennedy said,
1T will both befit and benefit
us to take this step boldly. For
we are launching a decade Of
development on which will
depend. substantially, the kind
Of world in which we and ou-
children shall live"
Although sticking to the 81
billion total in the Eisenhower
budget for 1862, Mr.. Kennedy
would shift 5000 million from
the military to the economic
side for that year.
Mr.. Eisenhower had proposed
I$1.8 billion in military and $2.2
billion in economic aid. Mr..
Kennedy wants the military
held to SIS billion, and. the
economic figure boosted to $2.I
billion. But he admits world
conditions may require a greater
effort on the military side.
Would Borrow Funds
Probably the most contro.-
versial feature of Mr.. Kennedy's
new approach will prove to be
his request that Congress allow
him to obtain a substantial part
of the economic aid funds from
Treasury borrowing instead OF
annual appropriations.
This is what Republicans call
"backdoor financing" and it
has come in for congressional.

NCAA Gives Approval
To Presidential Bowl

A mid-December Presidential
Bowl football game for Wash
ington's new municipal sta
dium has the approval Of the
National Collegiate Athletic
Association and, according to
its hackers, should be a real
success.
Howard C. Van Arsdale,
Washington advertising man
and printer, says he has talked
to the commissioners of the
Southeastern and Southern
Conferences and to an official
of the Big Ten, and received
assurances from them that the
Presidential Bowl can have
champions or runnersup from
those groups.
Van Arsdale and Teunis

went to the NCAA convention
in Pittsburgh and yesterday
won that groups approval for
their new venture. q

100 per cent charitable venture,
with all profits from the bowl

tion, Catholic charities and

dent Of the group, is a Masonic
Grand Master. The fourth
member is Samuel w. McIn-
tosh. general counsel.

the group Is December o, but

Texas A&M beat Georgia, 40

Bowl. That game drew only
10000. and were 1t not for
income from radio would have
been a financial failure.
The date for the new bowl
will depend on Redskins book
ings. The pro team has first
call on the stadium under q
30-year contract, and can pre-
vent the stadium being used
on the Saturdays preceding
Redskins Sunday games.
Late-season pro games gen.
orally are held in Washington.
but this years slate won't be
known until the pros draw up
their schedule late this month.
If the Redskins have dates
for December 10 and II, the
Presidential Bowl will have to
wait until December %. 1t
cannot be held earlier. both
because some collegiate sched-
ules last until the first week
Of December and because of
the Army-Navy game, booked
this year for December 2.
The Presidential Bowl group

a game the same date as the
Army-Navy game.

All Of the boys were advised to
work on certain phases Of their

and in each case they turned
out for practice this season
with their faults corrected.
Francis probably is the best
shooter on the team at pres

However, there is a little
matter of winning the North

Haithcock knows that Wash

He still feels the top club will

AFTER ALL" Haithcock points

Robinson stepped down after

Haithcock had an impressive
record with the junior varsity
winning SO of 109 games in six

Two Of the big reasons for
the Warriors fast start are the
improved shooting Of Ricky
Duques and the all-arounc
progress Of Gerry Spadetti.
Duques has been q top-flight
defensive player since he came
to Wakefield three years ago
but this is the first year he has
been shooting well. Haithcock
attributes Ricky's improvement

The question of whether to
play IL or IA games in the
National Football League next
season undoubtedly will be
quickly decided in favor OF IA
when the club owners take a
second look at their 1861 pay
rolls. Even dropping the two
extra players and going back
to the 36-player limit isn't
going to save much. They'll
have to play IA games to meet
the payroll-especially with
one less exhibition game to
help cushion the blow.
