Honolulu, Aug. 1 (AP)—Authorities announced today decision to send Paul Crouch and Walter Trumbull, former army privates convicted of inciting a communistic uprising in the army, to the mainland on the transport Cambrai, sailing August 8.
The men will be confined at Alcatraz Island, San Francisco bay. They first were sentenced by court martial to 40 and 26 years imprisonment, respectively, but these sentences were reduced after review of the case. Efforts to free the men through civil courts failed when the latter tribunals refused to interfere.
