Brehm (R-Ohio) has received a suspended jail sent- ence of five to 15 months and fined $5,000 for illegally accepting $1,000 in campaign funds. The sentence was pronounced by Federal Judge Burnita S. Matthews before whom Brehm was convicted by a jury April 30. The 58-year-old lawmaker turned down an .opportunity offered him | by the judge to say anything he wished before hearing the sertence. Brehm now is serving his fifth term in Congress. After a two-week trial, a jury of 10 men and two women last April 30 convicted the congressman of five separate violations of the Fed- eral Corrupt Practices Act which | makes it a crime to take a political donation from a government em- Senator Green commented that | ploye. niilitary witnesses had testified that | blockade and bombardment would | be “an act of war.” Fast Exchange “Yes, sir,” Wedemeyer said. ““The exchange went on: Green: “And if so, Russia was obliged under her treaty, to come to the aid of China.” # Wedemeyer: “Yes, sir.” Green: “And it is hard to imagine our fighting Asia — I mean China | and Russia alone, and it would prob- | ably lead to a third World War, would it not?” i Calculated Risk Wedemeyer t might sir; that is a calculated risk.” \ Wedemeyer told the senators he asked to be relieved as deputy chief of staff because “I felt frustrate “I had served in the department for a number of years, and from time to me I made suggestions along policy d those sug- gestions were not accepted or imple- mented.” He added “The policies, the plans for Amer: ican action in the west and in the east T did not agree with.” Each count of the conviction in- volves a $200 payment to Brehm from Mrs. Emma E. Craven while | she was a clerk in his congressional office in 1948. Brehm is not required to resign his House seat because he has been convicted of a crime, Only the House can remove one of its members. 121N, 34 0UT ON BARANOF SUKDAY| Twelve passengers arrived south- bound on the Baranof Sunday with | 34 embarking for Secattle and Ketch- ikan.
