Seven Frequent Criticisms.
It cited seven frequent criti-
cisms" which it heard, and con-
cluded they "are we'll founded and
reflect actual breakdowns in the
operation" of the court-martial
system:
/. There was an absence of SUI
ficient attention to and emphasis
upon the military justice system,
and lack OF preliminary planning
for it.
Q. There was a serious deficiency
of sufficiently qualified and trained
men to act as members Of the court

Some Sentences Fantastic

Atomic Commission
Works Into Holidays
For Accord by Jan. |
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-United
Nations delegates attempting to
shape an atomic energy program to
control the bomb pushed on into
the holiday period today in efforts
to reach agreement by January l.
While other U. N. branches re-
main dormant until the end OF the
year, the work of the Atomic Energy
Commission will be interrupted only
for Christmas Day itself.
On the heels of yesterdays ap-
proval in principle of an American
control plan, members of the COM
missions Political Committee held
a long session today on final re-
port on safeguards. Indications
were that the informal meetings
would run up to Christmas eve
The safeguards document, drafted
after weeks of conferences by scien-
lists and diplomats of IL nations,
must be ready for the formal COM
mittee meeting December 26.
The following day the commits
sion's working committee will be-
gin its major task of wrapping the
American plan, the safeguards re-
port and the General Assembly res
olution on arms slashing into one
package. This final report will go
to the full commission December
80 and thence to the parent Sc
curity Council on New Year eve.
Meanwhile, delegates disagreed
over whether in yesterdays vote.
they had approved an American
proposal to eliminate the big power
veto on punishment for violators of
any control plan.
This was major point in the pro-
gram put forth by the American
delegate, Bernard M. Baruch. and
accepted in principle by the full
commission. However, spokesman
for the Canadian delegation, which
sponsored the final draft, empha-
sized that the approved version
stipulated that the wording of the
American plan be made to conform
with the Assembly's arms resolution.
The Assembly document made no
mention of the veto and said con-
troll Of atomic energy would be with
in the framework of the Security
Council where the veto applies.

the committee had this to say:
THE critics did not always UNDER
stand the dif1iculties Of the situa-
ton or appreciate the severity Of
the punishment inflicted upon an
officer by the imposition of fine
or the loss of promotion or reduc-
ton in rank and the devastating
effect of this punishment upon his
career. Nevertheless, we are con-
vinced that in some instances and
in some areas there was foundation
for the complaint and it was a
general source of criticism among
the troops and seriously. impaired
their morale.
System Excellent in Theory"
TN general, we believe that off,
GERS would be less likely to offend
If they were subjected to a greater
extent to the deterrent influence
Of punishment which in Army cir
cles is deemed so effective in dealing
with enlisted men"
The committee agreed with wit
nesses who testified "almcst with
out exception" that "the Army's
system of justice in general and
IS written in the books is a good
one: that 1t is excellent in theory
and designed to secure swift and
sure justice; and the innocent are
almost never convicted and the
guilty seldom acquitted"
But 1t noted that there was
often a disquieting absence of re-
spect for the operation Of the sys-
tenn in its tremendous expansion
under the impact of war. There was
considerable indignation at some OF
the current and all too frequent
breakdowns. The general comment
was that the system laid down in
the manual for courts martial OF
the Army was not followed as
closely as 1t should have been and
that the system not infrequently
broke down.
This was ascribed to two fac
tors-failure of the Army to use
available lawyers, placing "incom-
petent men" on the courts, and
actions of generals who conceived
1t the duty Of the command to in
terfere for disciplinary purposes"
Impairment of Morale Seen.
"The result, in the opinion of
many witnesses" the report con-
tinued, was that although the in
nocent were not punished, there was
such disparity and severity in the
impact of the system on the guilty
as to bring many military courts
into disrepute both among the law
breaking element and the law-abid-
ing element, and a serious impair
ment of the morale Of the troops
ensued where such a situation ex-
listed"
A study of the relations between
officers and enlisted men had been
made by War Department board
headed by former 1t. Gen. James
H. Doolittle, in a broad .investiga-
ton of the Army's caste" system,
That board reported last May that
hasty wartime expansion of the Of
ficers' corps and other factors had
resulted in many irregularities"
and "injustices in handling of en-
listed personnel and recommended
numerous corrective measures.
Among its specific recommends
tions was that officers and enlisted
men receive definite equality OF
treatment in military trials.
