Community’ SWISS SENTENCE TWO RED SPIES A Swiss court recently found a German publisher and a Swiss journalist guilty of espionage against the United States and other Western powers recently and sentenced them both to jail terms. One of these convicted was Rudolph Roessier, the head of a publishing house in’ Switzerland, who is generally thought to have been a Russian spy during World War II. The other man sentenced was Dr. Zavier Schnieper, who says he broke with the Communists in 1945. He is a newspaper man. Both were arrested last Spring. The regrettable part of the story is that the Swiss court sentenced Roessier to only one year in prison. Schneiper was given 2 term of only nine months. Because Roessier has been held by the Swiss for some time, he only has four months to serve. Dr. Schneiper will have only one month to serve. The sentence of the court contrasts sharply with the sentences passed out in U. S. courts to those convicted of spying for Soviet Russia. No doubt the climate in Switzerland is a healthier one for spies than in the United States, especially Russian spies. Though it is heartening to see the Swiss act in these two cases, we suspect that if the profession is lucrative enough, the sentences passed out in these two cases will not permanently eurb the ac- tivities of spies in Switzerland. One might call this the era of the investigation. Exercise will extend life, if you care to extend it. It is surprising how a little success can go to one’s head. Most people think they are pretty smart so why not agree with them? The U.S. needs both a defensive and an offensive| military establishment. The merchants are now licking their chops over prospective Christmas dollars. The British are good allies; they have just produced the world’s most powerful tank. Nothing is more rewarding than church work, and} there is plenty of it to be done in every community. ossword Puzzle ACROSS 31. Near 1. Nourished 32.
