4 SENTENCED AS DRAFT EVADERS

Indiana Youths Face Terms Of 15 to 18 Months;

Brothers Included.

Four Indiana youths today faced federal prison terms of 15 to 18 months for draft evasion following their arraignment before Judge Robert C. Baltzell in federal coutt yesterday. More than 20 other defendants in Indictments returned by the grand jury on cases in the Terre Haute and Evansville districts were either fined, sentenced to prison or ordered to appear for trial Sentencing th one other selectfve service violation was deferred pending action by army officials, and trial date for a sixth draft eva-| gion suspect was set Judge Baltzell sentenced George and Jacob Gingerich of Daviess county. 25 and 23-years-old respectively, to 18 months imprisonment. The two brothers, members of the Mennonite sect, had appealed their local board's orders to report for army service to President Roosevelt, who refused to reverse the decision Joined Before Registering

“1 appreciate the tenets of your church and respect them,” Judge Baltzell said in passing sentence, but if all of us ihdorsed this attitude there would be no Mennonite church, “You boys have defied the president of the United States and that calls for pretty severe punishment.” District Attorney Howard Caughran said both youths had joined the Mennonite church just before registering for selective service, and that they were the only members of their family who belonged to the sect. Mr. Caughran said that investigations of their cases disclosed they were not “‘bona-fide conscientious objectors.”

Evansville Pair Sentenced

“When asked what they would do {f the Japanese were ove running this country, all they would answer was ‘pray,’” Mr. Caughran declared. Two Evansville youths, Charles Q. Strobel, 27, and Benjamin A. Cuttridge, were sentenced to 18 and 15 months imprisonment respectively. Strobel was arrested by FBI agentk at Buffalo, N. Y.. and charged with faliure to notify his local board of his whereabouts. Judge Baltzell staved Cuttridge’'s sentence for 15 days to determine whether the youth was still wanted for the army. He had originally failed to report for induetion. John ©, Swinney of New Albany entered a not guilty plea on his draft evasion charge and will go oh trial April 20. On other counts, Judge Baltzell
