142 Gl's Executed By Court-Martial Verdicts Br WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST " WASHINGTON, April 20 (V) Court-martial sentences sent 142 soldiers to their deaths during the war years and ensuing months, a house military sub committee disclosed today in rec ommending an extensive over haul for the army's system of justice. , , The group reported that in the period between December 7. 1941 and February 21. 1946, 72 men were executed for murder, 51 for rape, 18 for murder and rape, and one for desertion. . The findings were set forth In a 25,000-word document sharply critical of what the subcommit tee called the injustices, the ex treme severity of sentences and the partiality resulting from the existing court-martial system. Damage Suit Seeks $50,000 YREKA, Calif., April 20 ',A $50,000 damage suit evolving from an automobile accident in which Leonard Essman, Tule lake ranch hand, was fatally in jured, was filed last week in superior court here by Essman's widow, Daisy, and the couple's three small children, Leon, Joyce and Nellie, through their guardian ad litem, Mrs. Ess man. Defendants in the suit are Raymond Baker, owner of a pickup truck which allegedly struck the Essman vehicle, and Lewis Baker, 16, Tulelake high school student, driver of the pickup at the time of the acci dent which occurred near Tule lake last October 19. The complaint charged de fendant, Lewis Baker, with so "carelessly, negligently and heedlessly" operating his fath er's truck so as to strike a car driven by Leonard Essman, causing fatal injuries to the lat ter. The accident happened on the Klamath Falls-Reno highway as Essman was driving' south and Lewis going in a northerly di rection. Essman died on Octo ber 21, two days after the wreck. Farm Bureau To Be Set Up Klamath basin farmers and their wives are invited to attend a meeting of the Oregon farm bureau April 23, 7:30 p. m., in the Henley high school gym- nasium. The object of the meeting is to organize a farm bureau in Klam ath county. The bureau has been established in counties in east ern Oregon for 13 years and as a national organization 28 years. Harry Story, executive secre tary of the bureau from Milton will speak at the meeting in i Henley and there will be another I speaker on farm affairs. Sam Hunter of Milton, state organizer and membership chair-1 man has been in the basin area a week lining up the Henley ! meeting and is now in Lake j county on the same business. Flashes Of Life The full military committee, it was learned today, has tem porarily tabled the subcommit tec's report at the war depart ment's request, but will consid er it next month. Armv wit nesses probably will be heard before the full committee takes any formal action. The subcommittee, headed by Rep. Carl Durham (D-N. C), made the following criticisms, comments and recommendations in the cpursc of its report: "The court-martial system Is regarded by most professional officers as a means of enforcing discipline. . . (but) discipline. . . must not be named as a cloak to cover arbitrariness and injus tice." "There is'a widespread belief among intelligent soldiers that . , . not so much a qualified, as a weak and compliant court has been the objective." Rap Racket "Bringing charges of rape against American soldiers be came a sort of racket among some portions of the populace in the European theater, and it is believed that numerous convic tions of innocent soldiers took place ... in the interest of dis cipline in general or of maintain ing the good name of the army among liberated or conquered people." "Members of court-martial are largely amateurs from the legal point of view, though they may pass on questions of life and death." "It is known that some of the most striking miscarriages of jus tice have taken place abroad. . ." "An enlisted man has the right to bring charges against a com missioned officer. This is large ly a paper provision. An officer of long experience . . . has said that . . . when it did happen the enlisted man always found him self court-martialed or trans ferred. "It is a very grave offense for an enlisted man to strike an offi cer or even a non-commissioned officer. . . It is not a specific of fense under any article of war for an officer to assault an en listed man. . ." Lowfy Egg, Hot Lushwell, Due To Get Boiled Again DOUBLE DATE NEW YORK.

M April 20 (.4') Law enforcement prob lems of this atomic age are be coming strangely reminiscent of the old west.

Hens, or Is It rabbits tit this time of year? seem to know the demand for eggs at Easter and increase production and this first postwar Easter is no exception. Eggs are now about 20 cents per dozen cheaper than they were four months ago, ranging in price from 30 to 48 and 50 cents per dozen, witii white eggs preferred. Sales of Easier egg dyes Sat urday were running a close sec ond to sales of eggs. The prewar hollow chocolate eggs and rub bits as well us the choeolate covered marshmallow ones are still absent from store counters. Ginger cookies In the approved shapes have come to the fore and may be had with names put on in cake icing. Jelly beans, so popular for Easter baskeLi, and the little "turtle eggs" have not yet mnde a comeback and baskets them selves lire native Americans as they have been during the war years. Before the war must of the baskets came from Japan and Mexico and the little cotton chickens which came from Ger many have gone with the war. Artificial Easter and cula Idles mnde of rough white and green paper are almost as much in de mand as the real Croft lilies, the bulbs of which come from Brookings. Before the war most of the bulbs came from Japan, Fractures Arm Koy Lee Smith, 7. Pelican City, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Smith of that community, fell from a tree while playing Friday and suf fered a bud fracture of the right arm. He had surgery at the hospital and was able to return home.

Yn Jt -7 lM4A.7W?nLI0tUn Thought For Easter ', By EARL WHITLOCK rfl Oh, yes. I know. The thought t of Easter means a new soring outfit to a good many of you. A bright, new dress and shoes and gloves and a saucy hat to top off the pic ture. And prob ably the urge for new spring coloring, which rules all Nature at this season, is worth yield ing to. But not to the extent that you forget the deeper meaning of Easter. On this day, HE rose from the dead. On this day HE es tablished for all time the fact that truth and righteousness the Christ spirit, is immortal. Men may abuse it and mis understand it and crucify it, as they repeatedly do, in the ; depths of their Ignorance and willfulness.
