3 (P- -Thirteen defiant second-string Communist leaders, who preferred imprisonment to life in Russia, today were sentenced to terms ranging from one to three years. They plan an a appeal. Seven drew three years in prison and $6,000 fines. Five got two years and $4,000. One escaped with one year and a $2,000 fine.

Eight of the defendants came here from Iron Curtain countries, four are native Americans and one is British. "There is ample scope in this country," Federal Judge Edward J. Dimock told them, "for those who wish to improve the country, but no scope whatsoever for those who advocate its overthrow by force and The 13 defendants were held in bails ranging from $20,000 to $25,000 each pending their appeal -which presumably will take months. The government, mindful that other convicted Communists have jumped bail, asked that it be set at $100,000 each, or preferably denied entirely. None of the 13 was able to offer a bond at once and they were locked up.

The 13 defendants said they had no remorse for their revolutionary conspiracy and one of them, Albert F. Lannon, rose suddenly and angrily shouted at Dimock: Lawyer Praises Judge "May I make a wish, your honor? When my children cry for the father that you take away from them, I wish you a restful vacation." The 62-year-old jurist has planned a vacation at the end of the case, which now has stretched over 10 months. "The verdict will not stand in history," proclaimed defense lawyer Frank Serri of the conviction of the 13 Jan. 21. However, Judge Dimock received a surprising tribute from Serri in view of the abuse heaped on him by Red publications.

The lawyer called his conduct of the trial sample of American justice at its best." The 13 defendants could have been sentenced to a maximum of five years in prison and fined $10,000 each for conspiring to teach and advocate the violent overthrow of the government in violation of the 13-year-old Smith Act. Succeeded Top Leaders This maximum penalty was the one generally levied against 11 top Red leaders who were convicted on the same charge in 1949. The 13 were alleged to have stepped into the shoes of the convicted 11 to run the party. Judge Dimock refused to consider the maximum, although U. S.

Atty. Myles J. Lane argued that the 13 "revelled in the fact that they are disciples of Stalin." Dimock said the penalty for outright violation of the Smith Actnot just conspiracy to violate itis far less than the penalty for murder, counterfeiting or racketeering. He added: "I can't believe a conspiracy to violate the Smith Act should be punished at the maximum, the same term as would be given for, could possibly be given for a conspiracy to commit murder." Judge Dimock suggested yesterday he might work out a probation plan to spare the 13 prison sentences if they wished go and live in Russia. They furiously rejected his suggestion, calling it U.

S. Atty. Lane fought for the maximum penalty. He argued the 13 showed "no sign of repentance, no sign of remorse and no sign of sorrow for their Proud of Communist Vows George Blake Charney, last of the defendants to individually address the court before sentencing, confirmed that the 13 felt no remorse. "That is.

true," he told Judge Dimock. "Innocent people have no reason for remorse. We are people of resolute opinions. We are people of principles, proud of our Communist views. "These views represent the best interests of the American Judge Dimock did not reveal why he varied the sentences.

However, he apparently increased the sentences according to the defendants standing within the party. All are party division heads or educators. The sentences and the birthplace of the defendants: Three years and $6,000 finesElizabeth Gurley Flynn, 62, American born; Pettis Perry, 56, American born: Alexander Bittelman, 61, Russian-born; Alex- ander Trachtenberg, Russianborn; Victor J. Jerome, 56, Russian-born; Louis Weinstock, 49. Romanian-born; and Arnold S.

Two years F. Johnson, 46, American Lannon, 43, American Betty Gannett, 44, Polish Jacob Mindel, 71. Russian-born; William W. Weinstone, 53, Russian-born; and Charney, also Russian-born. One year and $2,000 Claudia Jones, 36, a British subject from Trinidad.

Actual execution of the prison sentences may still be many months away. The 11 original top Communist leaders consumed almost two years in appeals that eventually proved futile. The defendants lined up against a courtroom wall for sentencing and showed no emotion at the penalties. Some courtroom. spectators wept as they left the Two Assistants Named By Engrossing Clerk bly.

3 (P) The government tossed a bombshell of green ink into John D. Provoo's treason trial today--a letter he wrote to his mother saying "I am guilty." "That's ridiculous," the former Army sergeant said when the handwritten letter in green ink was thrust before him. "I must have been out of my head." The 35-year-old Provoo is on trial for his life, accused of going over to the Japanese side after his capture in the fall of Corregidor in 1942. The letter to Mrs. Viva Ione Provoo-now dead--read in part: "I am well and think of you every day.

You know my circumstances, mother, and I want you to know, regardless of how much time I get, I don't want you to feel that I was railroaded. Because, though it's a secret between God, you and myself, I am guilty. Wanted Letter Destroyed "And maybe I shouldn't say this, but if I life to live over again, I repeat it step by haduld step. "Even though feel I have made some mistakes, I don't feel that there is anyone in this socalled government we have that's qualified to judge me. "In case you should send me a lawyer, don't show him any of the letters I send you because, even though we hire him, you can never tell what he might do.

The safest way is to destroy my letters, especially this The letter was dated Sept. 9, 1949. But Provoo said his mother was dead then and he must have written it Sept. 9, 1945, when she still was alive. There was no clue as to how it fell into government hands.

The government ended four full days of cross examination of Provoo by introducing the letter. court under all the circumstances. Byrnes, distraught over his daughter's experience, had gone to Scofeld's house for a talk with the' boy. When the latter fled, Byrnes fired a shot into the air over his head to halt him, but was unsuccessful. He was later arrested in a Danbury tavern.

Byrnes entered a guilty plea to a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon. Scofield told the court today he was guilty of wrongful acts with the girl, who now is confined to an institution. He said he wanted to marry her. Judge Comley imposed a jail term of a year and suspended its execution after ordering a year's FRESH CANDY Kept In Refrigerated Cases -Gobelin Arthur Drug Stores.
