Soldier's 1 cut
Is Lis Castle.
Court Rules
WASHINGTON, im—The U. S.
Court of Military Appeals has
held that a soldier has the same
right to “stand his ground” j
against a trespasser in his tent as
a civilian has to resist an invader
of his home.
The court so ruled Friday in
ordering a rehearing in the case
of Pfc. Robert W. Adams, 26, of
Drew, Miss., originally convicted
of murder in the fatal shooting of
two comrades. The shooting cli
maxed a poker game row at a
Korean encampment on Dec. 8,
1953.
A review board already has re
duced the conviction to volun
tary manslaughter and the prison
penalty from 25 to 15 years.
According to testimony in the
case, Adams was in his own tent
when a corporal came after him,
armed with two rocks. This was
after Adams was accused of cheat
ing, an accusation he denied. Ad
ams had a rifle and the corporal
grabbed another rifle from under
a cot.
Chief Judge Robert E. Quinn
wrote that Adams fired twice,
killing the corporal and a ser
geant outside the tent.
The court’s unanimous opinion
said the court martial and the re
view’ board failed to note that
when Adams w-ent to his own tent
he retreated as far as the law
demands.”
“Whatever the name of his
place of abode,” the opinion said,
“ it is his ‘castle’ and he is there
entitled to stand his ground
against a trespasser to the same
extent that a civilian is entitled
to stand fast in his civilian home.”

Galena Will Be
Major Air Base in
Interior Alaska
ANCHORAGE—A contract for
84,812.102 for construction of ex
tensive additions to the U.S. Air
Force installation at Galena Air
port has been awarded to Peter
Kiewit Sons Co., Seattle, the Al
aska District Corps of Engineers
has announced.
The big project, which will
build Galena from a minor Air
Force installation into a base of
major importance in interior Al
aska, is to be completed by Sep
tember 1956. Galena is located on
the Yukon River about halfway
between Nome and Fairbanks.
To be constructed at Galena are
an alert hangar, a bulk storage
warehouse, airmen’s dormitories
and mess hall, officers quarters,
a water treatment plant, electrical
distribution system and utilities.
The present runway, parking
apron and hardstands are to be
completely rehabilitated. The new
tar-rubber pavement with its in
creased resistance to jet-plane
heat and pressures will be used.
The work will start as rapidly
as the spring break-up permits,
probably within the next 30 days,
according to Col. Carl Y. Farrell,
Alaska district engineer, and will
be pushed with all possible speed
during the coming construction
season.

NENANA RIVER ICE
ONLY 42 IN. THICK
NENANA, OF—At what time on
what day will the ice go out on
the Tanana River here?
The deadline for entries in the
territory’s most popular guessing
game was midnight Saturday.
Interest now focuses on a tripod
fixed in the ice 300 feet out from
the riv^rbank.
In recorded history the ice has
begun moving as early as April
20 and as late as May 16.
The ice is about the thinnest
experienced observers remember
ever seeing at this time of the
year, 42 inches at the tripod and
•considerably thinner at other
spots. But they forecast a cold
snap for April.
Temperatures were compara
tively balmy during March, at
times reaching as high as 40
above zero.
