''PLUCK|NG' BOARD
ACTION IN DISPUTE
Arguments in Highest Court
For and Against Reinstat-
ing Dropped Army Officers.

Counsel for the government, in oral
argument in the United States Sui
preme Court yesterday, asked affirma-
ton by the court of the refusal offthe
Court of Appeals of the District of
retary Of War oreinstate Coils, John
w. French and William F. Creary to
! the Army.
Solicitor General Beck of the De-
partment of Justice and Maj. Freder-
eick NJ Brown of the War Department
construed the national defense act of
1920 not to require any official act of
the President to carry into effect the
decision of the boards under which
! officers are retired or discharged from
the service.
! Dissenting View Expressed.
Not only must the President per-
sonally act upon all cases Of officers
selected by the classification board to
be dropped from the Army, Samuel
+. Ansell. formerly judge advocate
general. insisted as counsel for the
to hearing before the honest and
faithful board to determine whether
they should be retired or discharged:
1t was admitted by counsel on both,
sides that officers who were recon-
mended by the "plucking" board to
ue oiopPCu "e1e Sven uodi u VI
inquiry upon request. and were fur.
nished with copies Of the records upon,
which the recommendations were
based. The final classification board
considers the reports of the board of
inquiry in all cases where such boards
have functioned before acting upon
the report of the ''plucking" board
and finally determining which of the
officers named by the "plucking"
board shall be dropped.
Argument by Government.
Counsel for the government argued
that 1t was, not necessary, as ella lined
by Gen. Ansell, that the final reclassi-
fication board before reaching it's de-
cision should give the officers whose
names were befort it hearing.
After the classification board has
reached its decision the honest and
faithful" board reviews the list Of
officers who have been selected for re-
mines which shall be retired and
which shall be discharged. 1t is not
necessary. government counsel insist
ed, that the officers affected should be
given a hearing by the honest and
faithful" board.
JurisdictiOn Issue Discussed.
Unless the Supreme Court reverses
the decision of the District Court of
end with his approval the active serv-
ice of any Army officer. upon the
commendation OF the classification
board, Gen. Ansell asserted, without
the officer having any legal recourse,
the lower court having held that it
was without Jurisdiction to compel
him to reinstate such an officer.

Gould Not Find
 One Veteran Who Was Satisfied
CContinued from Page one.)

(Contfnued from Page One.) asked the Sergeant what they did and he said that they only did one thing and that was bake bread in two diff loaf and the other an ordinary loaf. We asked the Sergeant specifically whether they had done anything else since they had been in the camp and he said ''No.'' and then added that he only had one piece of equipment which he showed us. It proved to be an old dough mixer which was used when the bakery supplied bread for forty thousand soldiers. Tho Ser geant said that Ir opder to be baker, g. man must know how to mako pas tries and fancy buns. Tn order to do this there must De some equipment.
 Tailoring School.
 On the surface of things at the tailoring school, it looked like real work was being done. There were only two or three men who were idle, giving instruction. However, as we started to walk through the school a young man followed me.
 Shoe Repairing Shop.
 In this school everybody was work Ing and this fact was in marked con- trast to every one of the other schools which we visited. The men were all repairing old shoes. The instructor was on the job. If the purpose of the school is simply to teach the repair
 
 ing that purpose.
 School of Carpentry.
 This school is located in & big ware house and on one end Is also the school of cabinet making. In the car pentry shop most of the men were sit ting or standing around talking to one another. Here mad there men were working at odd and ends There was no systematic course of instruction and no evidence that we were in a school.
 Automobile School.
 The AutOm Obile School seemed to us to be better equipped than most Of the other schools and we could see no reason why there should not be plenty of work in that school, be- cause there are no less than twenty five automobiles and motorcycles be- ing operated by the camp. We had a long talk with the instructor of the Automobile School. He said that they had really not begun any systematized work because in spite of having some old engines to work on they did not have cranes to move them and did not have other neces- sary equipment.
 Sheet Metal School.
 There were some sheets of ga.fvan- ized iron on the floor and apparently some of the men were t-@Sy making pipes. However, there was no evil dence of any organized instruction be- ing given the men, and did not see the instructors.

HOSpitalS.

HOSp1ta1S,
 After our visit to the schools we went to the hospital, which Is not To- cated in the old cantonement hos pital, but in the old Elks' building. which has been converted into hos pfta1 We found the total capacity which were occupied. It is obvious that with the amount of sickness actually existing in the camp, as in- dicated by the number of absences, this hospital is totally inadequate for the immediate needs; in fact, a num- Der of the beds were not available because a wing of the hospital was shut off, due to the presence Of con- tagious dyphtheria cases. It is hardly necessary to add that the hos pital as well as all of the other build ings of the camp are highly irf1am- maible and none of the buildings oc- cupied by the students either for !iv- ing quarters or school rooms are fire proof.
 General Conclusions.
 The camp itself is about two miles from Chilltcothe and presents a deso- late and abandoned appearance, It is not bit cheerful or homelike and there are no home1ike surroundings In the entire vicinity of the camp. Row after row of old barracks badly out of repair and fields overgrown with weeds surrounds the school site.
 Another great objection which we found about the way the camp has been organized is the fact that men have been sent to the camp to take up certain courses from all parts of the country, from all walks of life, and have been assembled in the school without apparent regard to their pre- vfous schooling, to their Knowledge of the particular trade for which they are being trained and without classi- fcation along scientific lines.
 The bungalows which have been heralded in the newspapers as offer ing such wonderful living quarters for married trainees exists only on paper. They have not even been started and situated, as they must be surrounded by this desolate and dreary camp, several miles from the school itself and will hardly be at tractive if ever built. In our opinion they should not be started and no married men should ever be sent to this camp.
 Whatever the camp may ultiamte1y be made by the expenditure of mil lions of dollars of the taxpayers money, I can only describe the camp as 1t actually is. The beautiful dream of National University, which has been so wonderfully described, is still a dream. Camp Sherman, in fact, is nothing but an abandoned army can tonm ent to which students have been sent without preparation, classified ton or organization. Insofar as Vo- cattona1 Training is concerned, the camp to date nas been a farce and a fraud.
