The SiX-man board, headed by 1t.
Gen j. H. 'Jimmie) Doolittle. also
stressed the need of "a definite
equality of treatment" in the ad-
ministration of military justice and
added blunt remark that the
higher the rank the more severe
should be the punishment.
Court Seniority Favored.
The report urged that enlisted
personnel be permitted on courts
but recommended that every men,
ber of a court be senior to the ac-
cused
More important than suggested
Social reforms, the report recon-
mended thorough revisionS of reg
ulations to provide for promotions
and demotions on the merit basis;
revision of the pay scale from the
bottom up and adjustment of in
equities in dependents travel al
lowances. food, housing and award
ing OF decorations.
Significantly, the report pointed
out:
There is need for a new phi
losophy in the military order, a
policy of treatment of men. especi-
ally in the ranks. in terms of ad-
vanced concepts in social thinking
The present system does not per-
NIT full recognition of the dignity
of man. More definite protection
from the arbitrary acts of superiors
F, is essential"
Further stressing this point, the
board warned:
Americans look with disfavor
upon any system which grants
unearned any tendency to make
arbitrary social distinctions between
two parts of the Army"
Leadership Scored.
The report attributed the causes
between the two parts of the Army
in the main to ''undeniably poor
/ leadership on the part of a small
/ percentage of those in positions OF
responsibility" and to a system that
permits and encourages a wide
social gap between officers and
enlisted men.
Reporting on its investigation OF
complaints, the board explained
that "the more glaring disparities'
cited, as resulting from the system
we're: The administration of military
justice, courts-martial, terminal
leave pay. and travel allowances
for dependents.
! The board recommended certain
steps to be taken to improve lead
ership in the officer corps in order
that the corps will merit the re-
spect of soldiers and civilians alike
Among these it stressed: Better
selection of officers, more adequate
orientation and indoctrination, e
more effective internal policing sys,
tenn to prevent abuses. in addition tc
promotion on basis of merit" in

While admitting that much of the

the Army from any stigma of g

In the strict sense" it said, "the
