...freshman swimming team returned to the win column Saturday by clipping St. George's School 56 to 21. The Yardlings lost only the 50-yard freestyle, which was one by Toth in 26 seconds flat, and the 150-yard individual medley, which Moran won for St. George...
Legal Sanctuary? Judge Tamm made his ruling on the basis of the recent decision in the case of Robert Toth (TIME, Nov. 21), in which the U.S. Supreme Court held that ex-servicemen cannot be tried by court-martial for crimes committed while in the armed forces.

But before murder charges were brought against him, Toth was honorably discharged from the Air Force and went to work in a Pittsburgh steel mill. Five months later Civilian Toth was taken into custody by air police to stand court-martial for the murder. Toth's arrest brought on an important and far-reaching struggle between the civil and military systems of justice...
