for Revision When Con-
gress Reconvenes.

prehensive and constructive program
for revision of the Army legal pro-

vocate general. left for Cuba, Mr..
Baker said. he had prepared amend
ments to the regulations governing
courts martial which he believed
would remedy defects revealed in
cases brought before the department
sell controversy.
Many suggestions arising from that
discussion, Mr.. Baker said. already
have been helpful. The recommenda-
tions of Gen. Crowder now are being
studied by the acting judge advocate
general, Brig. Gen. Kreger. who also
will prepare his views.
Cites Other Agencies.
The other agencies include the COM
mittee of the American Bar .Associa-
ton. a special legal officer detailed
abroad to study French and British
military systems and the Secretary
himself, who is taking with him to
France the articles of war. the court
martial manual, and other data for
use in personal research.
Mr.. Baker. in discussing his plans.
did not mention the Crowder-Ansell
controversy. which he apparently re-
CARDS as properly subject to the in
vestigation being Conducted by the
inspector general who. it is under
stood, is inQuiring only into the con-
