18 REDS GUILTY
OFI
Socialist Workers Face Jail
Terms Verdict Is First
Under Smith Amendment.
Minneapolis, Dec. 2. UP) A
possible federal prison term up
to 10 years loomed today De
fore 18 persons, members of or
associated with the Socialist
Workers Party who were con
victed by a Jury here on charges
of conspiracy to create Insub
ordination In the armed forces
of the government.
Albert Goldman, New York
attorney and one of those con
victed last night, announced
that "every legal step and every
other resour?e would be ex
hausted for appeal purposes."
He Immediately made plans for
filing an appeal before Judge
M. M. Joyce in federal court
here next Saturday.
Sentence Monday
Judge Joyce set next Monday
at the date for sentencing.
Conviction of the 18 defend
ants was on one of two counts
of an Indictment returned last
July after a raid on the Social
ist Workers Ptrty offices here
and in St. Paul. Bushels of lit
erature were seized In the raid,
and introduced in evidence at
the trial, along with two red
flags and several pictures of
Leon Trotsky, communist leader
who was assassinated In Mexico.
Court attaches said the ver
dict marked the first convictions
under the Smith amendment to
the sedition act of 1861. That
amendment, added to the law in
June, 1940, makes it unlawful
to advocate overthrow of the
government. .
Oklahomans Curious
About Coast Reports
Of Secession Effort
Oklahomans are exceedingly
curious about the secession
movement of Oregon's Curry
county and the four northern
California counties that want to
form a new state, Walter K.
Clifton of 425 North Columbus
avenue said today after his re
turn home from Alva, Okla.
News stories of the secession
movement were featured In
Oklahoma papers and people
just didn't know what to make
of It all, Mr. Clifton said. They
do know, however, what to
make of Oklahoma sales taxes
and they definitely don't like
the levies which in some in
stances are 20 per cent of the
retail price, Mr. Clifton assert
ed. The people don't see where
any good la being done by the
tales tax revenue and so they
are complaining about it, he
said.
Mr. and Mrs. Clifton and their
ton, Jimmy, made the trip to
Alva to visit Mrs. Clifton's par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Dun
ning. They were gone 18 days.
They arrived home last night.

Dreaded Nazi Raider
Sunk by Australians
At Cost of Cruiser
London, Dec. 2. (JP) The
P. 030-ton Australian cruiser
Sydney has sunk one of Ger
many's most dreaded sea raid
ers of this war but an official
announcement today said she
apparently paid for the triumph
with her own life and the lives
of 646 men aboard her.
She fought her last fight with
the heavily armed, 9,400-ton
German Steiermark somewhere
off Australia, probably not far
from the Cocos islands.
The Steiermark, sailing un
der the name of Kormoran, had
sunk nine British, British-allied
or neutral ships in at least three
oceans before the 6,830-ton Syd
ney came to mortal grips with
her.
The Stelermark't survivors
told the story of the combat.
None of the Sydney's men were
found and the Australian gov
ernment, after scouring the bat
tle area with planes and ships,
announced that "it must be pre
sumed that she has been lost."
No date was given for the
struejgle but Australian Prime
Minister John Curtin disclosed
that next of kin of the Sydney's
missing 42 officers and 603 men
had been Informed Novem
ber 26.
ant, and Frank Bacon, field
auditor, Capt. Bean said. He
added, however, that about a
third of the civilians would be
re-employed at the San Francisco
office.
"I should like to take them
all to San Francisco, but unfor
tunately this can't be done,"
Capt. Bean commented. The per
manent clerical force at the San
Francisco office will be able to
handle much of the work of the
Marysvllle, Albany and Medford
projects, he pointed out, the con
solidation, to this extent, being
ai economy move.
Capt. Bean has been here since
early last May when he came
from Vancouver Barracks,
Wash., to establish the construct
ing quartermaster's office in the
armory. A few days later the

bluepr: .lting of the proposed 35,-000-troop

Beagle-Antelope district. At peak
work, the architect -engineer
staff comprised 153 persons.
Sorry to Leave
"We are all sorry to leave
Medford," Capt. Bean said for
himself and his fellow officers.
"We like it here and we have
been made to feel at home' ever
since we first arrived. We are
grateful not only for this friend
ly attitude but also for the active
cooperation we have received In
our work from all quarters,
from officials, organizations and
individual persons. Our work
has been facilitated by this gen
erous cooperation and we are all
deeply grateful."
