Two US Soldiers Put In Jail By Czechs
U. P. Foreign News Roundup
Two American soldiers who went A.W.O.L. in Germany and wandered into Czechoslovakia have been convicted as spies and sentenced to lengthy prison terms by a Czech state court that tried them secretly.
The trial ended in Prague March 26. But the first report of the proceedings came today from the official Czech news agency which said that the senate of the state court had sentenced George R. Jones, 22, of Owensboro, Ky., to 10 years at hard labor and Clarence R. Hill, 31, of Jackson, Miss., to 12 years at hard labor for "espionage."
The two G.L's disappeared from their units early last December. Not until January did the Embassy learn that the pair had been imprisoned that the pair
The Embassy tried repeatedly to obtain the soldiers' release. The Czechs refused permission to see them. Not until March 2 did the Czechs notify the Embassy that Hill and Jacoes would be tried. Not until today did the Embassy learn that the trial had started—and ended.

Memorial Drive Construction Starts
The Mississippi street entrance to the memorial driveway is now under construction by the Constant Construction company of Lawrence.
The concrete approach will be in the form of a "Y" with a small triangle of land to be left in the middle.
The work now in progress will not include the paving of the driveway proper Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, said. Later this year crushed rock will be spread on the driveway to furnish a base for the final paving of black-top.
