Sentence Is COMMITTED
For Former Communist

NEW YORK, Dec. IS (AP).-
The family Of Junius Irving
Scales is together again today
for what Mrs. Scales called "the
merriest Christmas Of our lives"
Scales, AZ, a former leader of
the Communist Party in Ten
nessee and the Carolinas who
claimed he had become disillu-
stoned with the party and left
it, was released from the Fed
eral prison at Lewisburg, Pa,
after a pre- Christmas commu-
tation Of his six-year sentence
by President Kennedy.
A member Of q prominent
North Carolina family, Scales
had served nearly is months
Of his sentence and would not
have been eligible for parole
until next October.
Created Controversy
The case had excited a ma
tionwide controversy. Scales
advocates said his sentence was
longer than those imposed on
unreconstructed Communists,
and they argued that 1t was
senseless to keep a man in jail
who had rejected the party
and its teachings.
In announcing his releaseI
yesterday, the Justice Depart
ment noted that his six-year
term was longer than those inn
posed on several national lead
ers Of the Communist Party In |
other Smith Act cases.
The act prohibits teaching or
advocating violent overthrow Of
the Government. The first IL
top party leaders convicted in
New York in 1949 were SEN
fenced UP to five years. |
Scales first conviction in
1855 was set aside by the Su-
preme Court. He was con-
victed a second time in Green's
boro, N. c., in 1858. and this
verdict was upheld by the Su-
preme Court. He began serv-
ing his sentence on october 2,
1861.
Petition Filed
Scales had filed a petition
with Attorney General Robert
F. Kennedy last May which
said In part: i

Brinkman had a pretty fair
series in Boston. He started
the double play that ended the
game Friday night and started
three Saturday. including one
on which he grabbed a bounder
near second, stepped on the
bag and rifled a throw to first.
Ed went into leftfield for a
back-to-the-plate catch Of a

mentarily. He made a half
dozen better than average plays

double plays. and made only
one error.
He had three hits in, IL times

out three times.
Inning by inning, Yawkey's
interest in Brinkman became
less casual.
"Where'd you say you found
that shortstop?" he asked.
And Doherty went into a more
detailed explanation.
The next day Yawkey con-
tinued to rave. Were our
scouts after that boy2" Yawkey
asked, and before Doherty
could answer the Red Sox own
er said. How come we didn't
get him? How much did you
pay for him?"
II believe I could have
traded Brinkman for the whole
Boston ball club before the
series was over" Doherty said.
II don't think I've ever seen
Tom so impressed over a young
player"
Incidentally, Yawkey is not
the only baseball figure to be
impressed with Brinkman In
the past couple Of weeks.
When the Senator's were in
New York q couple Of weeks
ago. Peewee Reese was doing
the game-of-the-day on ma
tional television.
Brinkman played only one
game and a part Of another
that Reese saw, but that was
enough for Peewee. He said he
didn't have to see any more.
The ex-Dodgers' shortstop said
that in Just watching an in
ming or two he could detect that
Brinkman made the moves that
he liked.
After Whitley Ford beat the
Senators in extra innings last
week, a couple of the WASH
ington players casually men
toned that Ford was throwing
a pretty good splitter when he
was in a tight spot.
Word obviously seeped back
to New York that a last-place
ball club dared accuse Ford of
throwing a splitter and there
was q syndicated column ridi-
culing the Washington charges.
1t was written by a fellow who
was in New York when the
game was played here. It ap-
peared in a Boston paper over
the week end.
George Case was not in New
York at the time the pitch was
thrown. George was on the
third base coaching line in
D. C. Stadium, and he has been
around long enough to know
how a spit ball reacts. AS the
third-base coach, he also keeps
bead on the opposing pitch
er's preliminaries to throwing
The ball.
Harry Bright also was not in
New York at the time. He was
batting against Ford and said
he could feel the spray. Lock
also was a victim Of a Ford
splitter. It fact, Lock struck out
on a splitter in the ninth in
ming when a base hit would
have won the ball game.
