Providence's first line of Bob and Ray Labbe, along with Joe Borale, has been its only effective scoring unit so far this season. Tom Girard, the goalie, is an above average netminder and had 46 saves in the Friars' previous loss to the varsity...
Back home in Ottawa, Ill., ex-Army Private William Girard, 22, out of jeopardy after a Japanese court gave him a three-year sentence (suspended) for killing a woman scavenging on a firing range in Japan, out of uniform after an undesirable discharge, quested for a job and anonymity. But Girard's Japanese wife Candy was getting a warmer reception from the locals than Bill. While he was unsuccessfully seeking work, she was neatly fitting herself into his family, even helped fix the Christmas turkey. Girard was moaning meek and low: "All I want...
Among 977 passengers aboard the 11,828-ton troop transport General Anderson that sailed from Yokohama last week, bound for San Francisco: Army Private William S. Girard, 22, and his Japanese bride Haru ("Candy") Sueyama, 27.

...Girard case-from the hard-fought U.S. decision to turn Girard over to Japan for trial to the final Japanese verdict-was in fact a big victory for law and its due process. The U.S.'s worldwide system of status-of-forces agreements recognizes that U.S. servicemen stationed in friendly nations must be subject to local law for crimes that violate local law and have nothing to do with military duty. Far from being an abandonment of the serviceman, the procedure is a recognition that the U.S. has far more to offer the free world than strength of arms...
