A former mental patient was
sentenced to Is years in the
Maryland Penitentiary yester-
day after pleading guilty in
Prince Georges Circuit Court to

Former Boxer Appeals
Car Sales License

A former professional anC
championship Golden Gloves
heavyweight boxer tried to win
a decision today from the Dis
trict Board of Appeals and
Review.
Leonard Kanthal, 27, of l440
Rhode Island avenue NV, ap-
pealed to a District Board of
Appeals and Review commit
tee from a ruling by the Dis
trict government denying him
a license as a used car sales
man.
The committee took the case
under advisement.
Paul Green, acting assistant
superintendent, license and per-
nit division of the License and
Inspections Department. told
the committee that Mr.. Kan
thal's application had been de-
MED because he had been con-
victed of passing counterfeit
money in 1859.
Mr.. Green and Pvt. Bernard
Mattingly. license officer of
first precinct, testified that the
District had made no other
investigation of Mr.. Kanthal's
character except to review his
police record.
Stanley M. Kaiser, attorney
for Mr.. Kanthal, introduced a
letter from William Hemple,
Mr.. Kanthal's probation Off
Ger, stating that the District
Parole Office had mo objec-
ton" to Mr.. Kanthal being en-
ployed as a used car salesman.
Mr.. Hemple said in his letter
than Mr.. Kanthal's behavior

since he came under the juris-
diction of the District Parole
Office in March. 1861, has
been satisfactory"
Mr.. Kaiser contended that
the District had been unfair
because it made no investiga-
ton of Mr.. Kanthals character
except to review his police
record.
Meyer BORROW, owner of the
Jones Boys used-car establish
ment at 1117 I street NV,
said that he had employed Mr.
Kanthal for the past few
months as a uSed-car sales
man and had found him Ito be
an asset to my company"
"I have had no complaints
about him whatever"
Under questioning by the
board of appeals and review
committee, Mr.. BORROW said
that he employs two other
statesmen at the Jones Boys
used-car lot who have criminal
records. He added that he has
not received any complaints
about them.
Mr.. BORROW said that Mr..
kanthal is being permitted by
the District government to
work as a used-car salesman
until his license appeal is de-
cided.
The swarthy, 208-pound Mr..
Kanthal testified that he had
passed counterfeit $100 bills
after abandoning the boxing
game, but he said that he has
not been in any trouble since
that time.

pital with the first $50 pay
able by the patient.
The Republican modification
introduced today would permit
the choice of a 45-day hospital
benefit with no deductible pro-
visions. or the statutory 80
days with the first $50 deduct
ible. This new option would be
available only under prepay
ment group practice and nom
profit health insurance plans.
The change was sponsored
by Republican Senators Javits
and Heating of New York,
Cooper of Kentucky and Kuchel
of California.
They had co-sponsored the
original compromise Of Senator
Anderson. Democrat of New
Mexico, with the understanding
that they would seek further
notifications in the private
option section.
Preventive Care Policy
Senator Clifford Case of New
Jersey. the fifth Republican CO.
sponsor of the Anderson COM
promise. did not go along with
the additional change recon-
mended today.
The four sponsors Of today's
change said the addition of the
45-day option paying all first
costs of hospital care would
permit group and non-profit
insurance plans to offer at
relatively low premiums pre-
ventive care" health policies
that would help pay physicians
fees, surgical care. diagnostic
and specialized services and
medicines.
Senator Javits said this
freedom of choice" amend
ment will give private enter
prise a considerable share on
voluntary basis in the health
care program. He said this will
enable individuals to arrange
for much more than the Statu-
tory benefits at relatively little
cost.

tations of the chambers posi-

Rites Today
BY JAY LEVINE
Star Staff Writer

Two men were to walk quietly
up to the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier today, place two wreaths
at its base, then stand silently
while the haunting notes of
taps" mark the end of a cere-
mony observing the creation of
the Army's highest award for
valor. the Medal of Honor.
One hundred years ago to-
day. President Abraham Lin
coin signed into law a joint
resolution Of Congress creating
the medal. The purpose of the
medal: To be awarded to those
men who shall most distin-
guiSh themselves by their gal
lantry in action. :"
In all, 1882 Medals of Honor
have been awarded to members
of the Army, Navy, Air Force.
Marines and Coast Guard.
First in 1863
The first Army awards we're
made March 25. 1858, to six
survivors of a band of 81 Union
soldiers. The group had staged
a bold raid far inside Con-
federate lines in an attempt to
destroy a vital railroad line and
sever Tennessee from the Con-
federacy.
The last soldier to earn the
medal was Sergt. Gilbert G..
Collier. Sergt. Collier received
the award posthumously after

his foxhole. holding off the
enemy after the lower part of
one leg was shattered by a
Japanese grenade. After eight
hours in the foxhole, he crawled
"unassisted to the rear to con-
tinue the fight until the Japa-
nese had been annihilated."
Rescued Soldier

when he rescued a wounded
soldier on outpost duties. Dur
ing the course of the action he
killed 10 enemy soldiers and
dispersed the remainder, all
the while under enemy artil-
lery and grenade fire.
