Reds Sentence
For Plot in Moravia
Prague, Czechoslovakia, Feb. 11 A Moravian state court
today sentenced three men to death for plotting to overthrow the
nation's communist-led regime.
Two others were sentenced to life imprisonment. Eighteen
defendants received prison terms ranging from four to 25 years.
All were convicted at Jihlava,
70 miles southeast of Prague, of
being members of an "under
ground band of terrorists and
murderers" which allegedly plot
ted to assassinate public officials,
helped Czechs escape the coun
try and collected military, po
litical, and economic informa
tion for anti-state purposes.
More than 20 other alleged
members of the same organiza
tion are to go on trial Tuesday in
the court at Jihlava.
The government prosecutor
had asked the death penalty for
14 of the 23 defendants. Only
one of them pleaded guilty to
all charges, the others pleading
Innocent to all counts of the In
dictment or to part of them.
The convictions are subject
to appeal to the Czech supreme
court at Prague.
The 23 men sentenced today
made up the largest group of
defendants announced for a trial
in Moravia since the communists
came to power almost two years
ago.
Those sentenced to death were:
Karel Vesely, 33, leather goods
Worker:
Jan Tucek, 34, textile dealer
Frantisek Rod, 48, tool ma
chine operator.
Others sentenced included i
sculptor, several workers, and
two members of the communist
dominated Jihlava district com
mittee which controls the re
gion's government.

The two hit the tape a split

Chief Finish Judge Asa Bush

The metropolitan AAU ap

The conference table arbit

to name the winner. Two of
the three picked Wilt first.

Promoter Admits Fainting
To Grab Boxing Publicity
By RUDY CERNKOVIC
lUnlted Press Sporu Writer
Pittsburgh, Feb. 11 U.R)
Sure, Jake Mintz staged a pho
ney faint the night Ezzard
Charles won the heavyweight
title but he boasted today that
stunt brought him publicity and
laughs.
Supposedly he passed out
from the excitement, yet
"All right, so it wasn't the
McCoy," Jake sputtered. "But
look. 1 get up to make a speech.
Someone hollers: 'Tell us about
the phoney faint.' So I tell 'em.
They all laugh. And I'm more
popular every day. Anyway, I'm
not monopolous like a lotta
speakers.
"I even pinched myself when
I was lyin' on the canvas. 1
could feel it. Then I knew I was
fakin'.
"Anyway, there were three
other managers from Cincin
nati and they were always
pushing me out of the way to
gp1 their pictures in the- pa
per," Jake said. ,
"I figured this time I'd get
the publicity. So I keel over. I
didn't know I was going to get
so much notice. If I had, I'd
hive stayed fainted longer.
"That faint of mine will be
as famous as the long count in
the Dempsey-Tunney fight. Just
wait and see."
Then the loquacious Lilli
putian got off on his favorite
pe?ve "them people in New
York." He also talked about
his stomach "ulsters" that he
got from eating good food
since Charles was recognized
as heavyweight champion
