Sentences Of 10000
Army Prisoners Cut
By CIemency Board
By Nelson M. Shepord

The extent of the War Depart
ment's efforts to correct injustices
In the wartime administration of
military justice was indicated today
in a report from former Supreme
Court Justice Owen J. Roberts re-
vealing that a special clemency
board has reduced the sentences of
about 10000 prisoners convicted of
serious offenses.
That number. the clemency board
chairman disclosed, accounts for
about IS per cent of the more than
22,500 courts-martial sentences re-
viewed to date and all cases of pris-
oners returned from overseas before
May l.
"Clemency is and always has been
the capstone of the whole system OF
military justice" he said in his re-
port made public by Undersecretary
Of War Kenneth c. Royal.
Status of Prisoners.
Justice Roberts revealed the pres.
ent status of prisoners as follows
Slightly less than third of the
22,500 prisoners whose sentences
we're reviewed had been released
from confinement up to June 30.
Another third. he said, will be re-
leased within the next year, one
third of the remainder will be freed
Evening star., 1946-07-08

somewhat the same plea in making
the first official admission that many
court martial sentences were too
severe, If you leave out of account
the Army plans of restoration and
clemency."
Outstanding Accomplishment.
Praising the report as IAN out
standing, perhaps unique accomp-
lishment in the field of punitive
justice" Mr.. Royal especially re-
ferred to the elimination of exces-
sive sentences Justice Roberts, he
announced, had consented to con-
tinue giving his attention to clem-
ency cases arising during the i'm
mediate" postwar period. These
cases, it was said, would include
also those of prisoners sentenced
overseas and returned to the United
States.
The War Department had initi-
ated its clemency policy shortly
after VI Day by creating a review
board headed by Federal Judge
Sherman Manton Four special
clemency boards assisted him in
this work Each included a pen
ologist as chairman, a combat Off
Ger and an officer detailed from
the judge advocate generals office.
When Judge Manton relinquished

third in 1948.
In addition to this record. he re-
vealed the Army already has re-
stored more than $4,000 other pris-
oners to duty before the expiration
of their sentences and thus afforded
an opportunity to earn on honor
able discharge"
On the other hand, evidence of
the severity of many of the courts
martial was borne out by Justice
Roberts who invited" particular
attention to the fact that the board
had made large reduction" in
the number and percentages of SEN
tences exceeding four years.
Defends Army Justice.
The retired jurist, however, made
stout defense of the Army's system
of military justice, which has been
under sharp criticism both in and
out of Congress,
In my opinion he said. "the
exercise Of the clemency function by
the Undersecretary of War is An
integral part of the Army court
martial system and no judgment
should be rendered on the War De-
partments administration of mill
tary justice without consideration
Of the results of the clemency re-
views.
The sentence on which final
judgment is passed. as to whether
the system is good or bad, should be
based, not on the original sentence
imposed by courts martial
but rather on the sentences finally
fixed by the Undersecretary after
recommendations of the clemency
boards"
Mr.. Royal earlier had expressed
