Village Drops Its Appeal in Tammona Case
The Illinois Supreme Court dismissed the Village of Brookfield’s appeal in the long running Tammona zoning dispute. Judge Walter V. Schaefer entered the order November 5 after a village motion to dismiss the suit. Tammona, who has lived in the village since 1897, sought permission to build a four room home on a 25 by 125 foot lot at Forest and Rochester. The village rejected the permit, arguing the lot violated current zoning. Tammona argued it conformed to older zoning.

Cut Schreiber Sentence to 5 Yrs Report
A life imprisonment sentence imposed by an army court martial on J George Schreiber has been reduced to five years according to word received in the village last week. Schreiber had been imprisoned on a charge of murdering a South Korean civilian for several months since his court martial. The Clifford Schreibers of 3511 Hollywood Ave Brookfield indicated they were encouraged by Lt General S E Anderson of the 5th Air Force cutting the sentence from life to five years but said they would not be satisfied until our son's record has been completely cleared. Lt Schreiber was taken from Taegu where his trial was held to Tokyo and since August has been in a stockade. Anderson after reviewing Schreiber's case approved the sentence which called for dismissal from service and total forfeiture of pay. The review in the far east will probably be followed by another in Washington and another decision may be expected, friends in the village claim. Schreiber was charged with ordering two other men to kill the Korean national at the air base on Sept 27, 1952. These men were Robert W Toth of Pittsburgh who had been discharged and returned to the far east, however, he was released in the later.
