KING TOKYO, March 12.—(®— A de- fense contention that if President a civilian can use provocative langu- military government, failed George W. Angell today. Angell, former football player ot New Bedford, Mass., was sentenced »y an army court martial to be of- ficially reprimanded and fined $300 or to do 15 days of hard labor if the fine is not paid. Civilian chief fire administra- tor at General MacArthur's head- quarters was accused of striking and using provocative language in addressing Lt. Col. John A. Jimer- son of Peru, Neb,, in a traftic argu- ment on Dee. 29. When the pair's automobile and jeep almost met headon in a street, Angell testified Jimerson yelled: “I am a lieutenant colonel in the United States army. Get your car out of the way.” Jimerson testified Angell (who says he was on Walter Camp’s 1915 Gen. Dwight FEisenhower’s leg in a tackle during a West Point foot- Lall game),” struck him twice and said: “You may be a lieutenant col- horse manure to me.” Half a dozen witnesses differed as to what happened after that.
