Navy men involved in a San Francisco case over desecration of a flag were released on habeas corpus after the Legion argued for commendation rather than punishment. Harold J. Sturtevant and G C Lackey, both on leave from Mare Island, said they acted to prevent a riot by removing the flag from sight. The State Department said disposition would rest with San Francisco authorities.
