PERSISTENT EVASION
SENTENCES OF FOUR MONTHS (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Mar. 30. Two charges, one of failing to report at Auckland in October, 1941, for service with the armed forces and the other of assuming the name of Phillip Raymond Lawrence, were preferred against Thomas Archibald Phillips, aged 27, a retort worker, in the Magistrate’s Court yesterday. Lawrence, who had pleaded guilty, came before Mr W. F. Stilwell, S.M.. to-day for sentence, and was given three months’ imprisonment on the first charge, to be followed by a month on the sfecond. Senior Sergeant Compagnolo said the defendant had been graded as medically fit, but had avoided service for over three years. He had given the army authorities considerable trouble in locating him and had assumed a false name. He still maintained that he would not serve in the army.
