Judith Coplon Sentenced To 15 ~ Years; Gubitchev Is Ordered Deported

. By Ed Crcagh

NEW YORK. March 9 -— (AP) — Twice-convicted Judith Coplon was sentenced today to prison for 15 years as a treacheroiu be. trayer of her country.

Her convicted co-spy, Valentin A. Gubitchev. Russian 0 engineer and diplomat, drew a similar sentaice-suspended. however, on condition that he be sent back to Russia within two weeks. “never to return."

Federal Judge Sylvester .T. Ryan tongue-lashed the defend- ants as he handed down the sent- ences. He said the sentences would serve as a aole-mn- warning against working "with others out- side of our borders who would take from us our liberties."

May Mean 25 Years

Miss Coplon,'2tl. now may have to serve up to 25 years behind bars. Today's 15-year sentence is in addition to the Q0-month-to-im year term jmposed in Washington after her conviction last July on charges of stealing secret papers for the Russians.

Ryan first sentenced the blondc, 33-year-old Gubitchev to 15 years imprisonment. Then he announc- ed that State Secretary Acheson and Attorney-General J. Howard McGrath “have recommended that this sentence be suspended and that you be sent out of the coun- try." denounced Gubitchev, a former United Nations employee, as a bell-ayer of the cause of peace, but said he would suspend sentence “if arrangements are made for your immediate deporta- lion."

Gubitchev, speaking in rapid Russian before he was sentenced, denied that he was guilty of any- thing. He accused the Federal Bureau of Investigation of fram- ing him, and assailed his arrest and trial as a violation of inter- national law.

Plsla Appeals

. The l'lussian’s lawyer, Abraham L. Pomerania, said an appeal would be started at once. So did Miss Coplon‘s three court-asaign- ed lawyers. The former govem- ment girl's Washington conviction also is being appealed.

Ryan denied bail to both pris- oners.

Gubitchev and Miss Coplon were convicted last Tuesday of con- spiring and attempting to pan. American defence secrets to the Russians. Until their conviction, Miss Coplon had been free on

340.000 bail and Gubitchev on $100,000 bail. Ryan sentenced Miss Coplon.

formerly a Justice Department political analyst. to five years on a conqairacy charge and 15 years on a change of attempted espion- age. He ruled that the sentences could be served at. the same time.

Pale.‘ Miss Coplon said she would make no statement at the lime.

Ryan told her:

“You have brought dishonor upon the name you bear. You have brought disgrace and even tragedy upon your family. You have been disloyal to the coun- try which has nourished you."

subsequent meetings the matter of initial cost was not consider- ed to be the principal issue, but rather the cost of maintenance. In the summer of i010 a delega- tion from Tyne Valley was receiv- ed by the Commission in Char- lottetown, at which the estimat- ed capital cost. maintenance and other factors were considered.

Community subscriptions

On Dec. lst a letter was receiv- ed by Dr. Harold Shaw. chairman of the Commission. stating that the community had been organ- ized. had elected a board of trus- tees. had become incorporated. and that a financial drive had been undertaken in twenty-two school districts with an ap- proximate area of 250 square miles. The objective was $5,000. and the unnpaign. which ended in September. had a total sub- scription of $5,492.99.

The Commission's recommenda- tion for assistance was submitted to the Provincial Government and was on ec. nth last. The necessary data regarding else. type of construction. floor plans. etc. were then prepared. and re- v-lewed by Mr. Gordon Hughes. of the ‘Division of Hospital De- sign. on Jan. 14th. who was in Charlottetown at that time. These ‘details were forwarded to Ot- tawa on Jan. 20th. and were ap- proved cn Feb. 22nd.

Certificate of hpproval was re- ceived at the office of the Com- mission on March 3rd and on the same date copies of certifi- cates of approval. with covering le‘tler, went forward to the of- fice of the Deputy Minister at Ottawa. and to Mr. H. R. round. chairman of the board of trustees of the proposed centre. The sp- pmval ed the project by the Divi- sion of Hospital Design in Ottawa was given on Feb. mb. and was Ioderal Minister on Feb. Said. It was subsequently mailed and received in this Province on March 8rd ' '

Ilr. Maiheson emphasised that while the applicatl‘ ‘was made on the basis of the centre cost- ing 0l5.llJ0. to be financed on an equal one-third basis by the Federal Government. (the Provin- cial Iovorarne-at and the com- munlm the actual cost. accord- ing to Mr. Hughes. will be! con- siderably more. The‘ Ted I proposal now is to contribute 3..-

Two Bodies lalien From Flr_e__lluins

1lON'l'R.IAL. March 9 -— (OP) — Two bodies wore taken from the town fine ruins yesterd_, bringing the known death toll to sight. '

The charred bodies were be.uev- ed those of women.

mcovai-y of these test the hit of missing at five although there is a possibility that a few persons living in the district at the time of last Thursday's outbreak did not report their safety to authorities The search. for bodies has been slow and precarious because of thick coats cl ice over the mass of ruins and the danger of shaky walls toppling on the searchers.
