Natives Taken in
Army by Chinese
Taipei, Formosa, Jan. 14 W)
Chinese nationalists are giving
Formosans a chance to fight in
defense of this rich island.
By the end of May, 35,000
natives between the ages of 20
and 21 will have been conscript
ed. The first batch is already be
ing recruited. It consists of 14,
000 middle school (high school)
graduates who will become army
sergeants.
The remaining 31,000 will
tart as privates.
A new wrinkle has been in
troduced Into the Chinese con
scription. Nobody will be al
lowed to buy their way out of
onscription. That was a com
mon practice on the mainland.
Conscription is by lot draw
ing. Families deprived of wage
earners will get compensation
from the government both in
eash and rice.
Every day farewell parades'
are held for those going soutn
for training. Trucks with loud
speakers blare "Yankee Doodle'
and other light airs. Firecrack
ers are discharged by the thou
sands. Altogether the scene Is one of
gaiety.
The fact some conscripts are
driven around in limousines by
their rich families has convinced
the public the lot drawing is
without favor.

sentence.
He appeared before Gov. Lee
Knous to officially make his
plea, but the governor said there
was no law which would permit
him to approve such a deal.
Sherbond's brother, James,
is serving life for the slaying of
a county sheriff, and Knous said
that insufficient time had elap
sed for a commutation of his
sentence. James Sherbondy was
one of the participants in the
1947 New Year's eve break from
the Canon City, Colo., state pen
itentiary.
Before he called on Knous,
George Sherbondy said he had
prayed for guidance in helping
his brother and that he was
satisfied that that it the thing
for me to do."
He said he wanted to aid his
brother because the latter's boy
hood had been one of heart
breaking misfortune, and that
the depression of the 1930s had
forced James into a life of crime.
George would have left be
hind a wife and two children if
his petition had been granted,
and he said that he knew that
if he went to prison in his broth
er's place, "it would be harder
on my family than on me."

him a toy, in Mexia, Texas. So far 800 families in 14 states
and Mexico have asked to adopt the 19-month-old boy. His
father is dead and his mother can not care for him. The Rev.

Reds Return
Death Penalty
Moscow, Jan. 14 ffl The
death penalty returned yester
day to Soviet Russia's statute
books after an absence of almost
two years.
The local press published an
edict by the presidium of the su
preme Soviet decreeing revival
of the penalty for "traitors to
the homeland, spies and sabo
teurs." For other crimes the
death sentence still will not be
given,
(Speculation at once arose in
London that the return of the
death penalty presaged new
prosecutions similar to the 1937
Moscow treason trials.)
The presidium abolished capi
tal punishment on May 26, 1947,
because, its edict then said, it
was "no longer necessary in
peacetime conditions." This, the
decree explaind, was because
Russia's World War II victory
had demonstrated "the excep
tional loyalty of the entire
population of the Soviet Union
to the Soviet country and the
Soviet government."
"At the same time," the pre
sidium's edict said, "the world
situation during the past period
since the surrender of Germany
and Japan demonstrates that
peace may be regarded as secure
for a prolonged perod of time
in spite of attempts of aggressive
elements to provoke war."
