COMMUNISTS EXHIBIT DEFIANCE After thirteen more Communists were sentenced to prison recently by Federal! Judge Demock, he showed no remorse for their actions, in true Communist-line form. Trying to appear as martyrs for a worthy cause, they in- stead sought to win the sympathy ~ of others by playing the martyr role, - Seven of the thirteen sentenced drew three-year pri- son terms and $6,000 fines, five to two years and $4,000 and one escaped with only a year and a $2,000 fine. It is interesting to note that eight of them came from Iron Cur- tain countries, Despite the show of defiance, these thirteen Com- munists, who stepped into the shoes of another group sen- tenced to jail about a year ago, will have ample time to reconsider their actions in jail. Moreover, the sentencing of this second group makes it crystal clear to other Com- _ Mmunist leaders have stood before judges defiantly—head- ing the Communist line. . After & time, and after an impressive number of Com- munists leaders have'stood before judges defiantly—head- ing for jail—the idea will get across, and Commanism will lose some of its curious appeal, even for the blind.
