Sentence was Imposed by Judge Abraham E. Pinanski after Noxon, availing himself of the privilege of addressing the court, said: "I want to repeat again, what I said during the trial, that I did not kill my son. I'm innocent of this terrible charge." Calmly and stolidly, Noxon stood in the prisoners' cage and heard Judge Pinanski sentence him to die. The court then stayed execution of the sentence. The words of the sentence in part were identical with some of the text of the grand Jury indictment which charged Noxon with killing his mongoloid child "by causing the passage of electricity through his body." The court recessed for a conference of defense and prosecution counsel in the judge's chambers, and meanwhile the length of delay in the stay of sentence remained unannounced.

Meanwhile Lieutenant Weldon, as described the day in a letter to his wife, heard voices and believing them to be members of his own outfit and medical corps men looking for him, called out, "Here I am!" But two surprised German soldiers walked over and captured him. carrying him back to their own lines where he received first aid.

$075 of on an he as he at at E. As division chaplain of the First American Infantry, he was with the unit from the outbreak of war, in its pre-battle training in England and Scotland. In the first three days on the blood-soaked beaches near Oran, he watched his men lose their fear and meet danger and death with "amazing signs of self-sacri fice." In Baltimore, where he is now assistant chaplain of the Third Service Command, he relates with pride, stories of seriously wounded and dying men, who, ignoring their injuries, begged him, "Father, do everything you can, will you, to see that I get back there with the First don't let them take me away from the old outfit, Father, promise me that." Father Ryczek said, "They never really believed they were dying, they just kept asking how our troops were doing or how soon they could get back at the Germans." Religious Zeal Increased According to the chaplain, who is a veteran of 11 years of Army service at posts here and overseas, there is always a decided increase in religious consciousness among men ready to go into battle. "Fear? Yes, there is fear in everyone's heart for the first few moments of the experience," he con ceded. "But after that you find yourself doing your work like an automaton.

The noticeable height ened religious zeal shown by the men is more a result of the feeling that they have little time left per haps to meet their responsibilities to God. we were swamped with men wanting religious services and con fessions before the African beach head was established." The chaplain spoke of the crowd ed American churches in Africa. Synagogues, Protestant and Catholic churches were always filled, he said, a fact astounding to the native people who already had endured four years of agonizing hard ships of war and found it hard to believe that the newly arrived Americans were worshipping 60 soon. "There was only a handful of French troops, bivouacinj near our men. at church on Sundays; nun dreds of American boys packed them and stood outside to hear he said.

An old French cure remarked that he admired the Yanks for the fine spirit they showed, Father Ryczek added. "I told him I believed it was be cause we give our boys religion when they are young and it sticks, with them when they grow up." said the Chaplain. "That's still what I believe." Joined Army In 1933 Chaplain Ryczek, whose home is in Wilmington, Del, was for four vears assistant pastor of St. Francis Xavler Church, Hyannis, Cape Cod, and for three years was pastor of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, New Bedford, Mass. When he joined the Army in 1933, he served briefly with the CCC and was commissioned a first lieutenant during that year.

He has been stationed during his military career at Fort Ethan Allen, at Corozal, Canal Zone, at Fort Meade. at Schofield Barracks In the Hawaiian Islands and at Boiling Field. Washington, At the outbreak of the war, he was assigned to the First Infantry and was with the unit in its pre-battle training in England and Scotland and at engagements in French Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. He later was moved back to Casablanca because of ill health and served for a time as assistant chief of the Atlantic Base Section before being sent tiome to recuperate. He was post chaplain at uamp ncneu, before receiving his assignment to Baltimore headquarters.

Chaplain Ryczek has administered last rites to hundreds of dying men. He has examined soldiers' bodies lying on the beaches for personal belongings to be forwarded home to their families. He does not justify war as a means toward a higher, religious faith for the individual. "It is a tragic thing that it must be as it is." he said, "and only the future will tell whether more persons have been taken away from the church In the moral breakdown caused by war or whether more have been drawn back to religion because of wartime conditions."

"Delaware should and must hit her goal by tomorrow night," the Delaware War Finance Committee stressed, pointing out that the drive officially closes at midnight tomorrow. While all bonds bought in July will be credited to the drive, the stigma of failure looms if the drive is not made good within its official scope.

Nationally, only $636,000,000, or 4 per cent of the $16,000,000,000 goal, remained to be bought last night, according to a Treasury report. Corporations and other non-banking Investors reached 115 per cent of their quota by purchasing $11,454,000,000. Individuals, however, were 35 per cent short of their goal with sales amounting to $3,910,000,000.

Mowbray, president of Security Trust Company, appealed today for last-day bond purchases in an address over radio station WDEL. "We can do it I'm tempted to say we must do it," he said of the possibility of meeting the goals set for Delaware. "While there are still millions to be raised within the next 24 hours or so," he said, "the job can be done if every citizen who has not yet bought a bond or made good his pledge will do so today tonight. Our Wilmington banks are open for business tonight frorn 7 to 9. When you come into town, visit your bank visit any bank you wish and buy your bond." "I'm sure that the hundreds of people who have not yet purchased bonds are not willing to permit this opportunity to pass to support our nation and our fighting men," continued Mr.

Mowbray. "I'm sure that the hundreds of people who have not yet pledged, really want to buy bonds, but have been waiting for canvassers. This is now the final push these are the last few hours that really count. Don't wait the hours are slipping by and the deadline is approaching. Best Security "You really don't have to be told not at this late hour that the war bonds are the best security in the world; that war bonds are your pledges your expressions of loyalty to the nation.

"We all realize that the Fifth War Loan drive is different from the others because it comes with the invasion of Europe. On that invasion we are staking our hopes for" a comparatively early smashing of the powerful forces of evil that have menaced, and still menace, our existence as a nation. "In our individual response to the Fifth War Loan, we must show those men on the beachheads that we are willing to pay more than lip. service to patriotism. "Every bond is more than a certificate of the willingness of the owner to share in a small way the hardships that our fighting men accept without complaint," he concluded.

"It is also the surest fastest, and most bloodless major battle we can win on the road to victory." Death Toll in Oil City Blast Rises to Eight OIL CITY, July 7 (U.R).
