Veteran Groups
Ask Revision Of
Army Courts
Military Justice
Hearing Told Of
Severe Sentences
BY George Beveridge

Representatives of the five lead
ing veterans organizations today
appeared before special War De-
partment Advisory Committee on
Military Justice to recommend
sweeping revisions of the Army
court-martial system.
The veterans focused criticism on
severity of sentences rather than
on questions of actual guilt and
aimed their recommendations at
alleged discrimination against en-
listed men in military trials.
Stanley H. Hunsicker of the Vet
erans of Foreign Wars told the
committee that only about 10 per
cent of cases referred to his organi-
zation involved question of guilt.
MIR. Hunsicker said the enlisted
men appear reluctant to express
themselves before a court of Off
GERS and rely on appointed defense
counsel, also an officer"
Urges Freedom From Command.
Patrick E. Carroll, service officer
of the Disabled American Veterans,
said he felt the Army courts must
be independent of command" to
free counsels from responsibility to
ranking officers. He proposed that
court-martial boards responsible
only to the Judge Advocate General
be set up in areas.
Particularly important. he said,
Is the matter of freeing the defense
counsel, the prosecuting counsel
and the courts law member from
responsibility to command.
A more drastic recommendation
was made by Justin N. Feldman of
the American Veterans Committee,
who proposed the entire system be
eliminated 'as q command func-
ton" and put under an assistant
secretary of war in charge of mill
tary justice.
Committing Officer Proposed.
He also proposed establishment of
committing offlcer"-similar to
the committing magistrate in civil
courts-to determine the charge
and type of court to try the case.
Mr.. Feldman asked that a "proba-
tion department" be set up to COM
pletely review a defendants back
ground and make recommendation
tefore sentences are passed.
Jack w. Hardy, national COM
mander of the American Veterans of
World War II, asked that civilian
lawyers be assigned to Army units
to become familiar with military
problems, and then be used as
counsels at courts martial. He also
charged rank discrimination in
that enlisted men are confined at
hard labor pending trials, while Of
ficers merely are confined to quar-
ters."
Without mentioning specific, inn
provements, Harry v. Hayden. jr..
of the American Legion, called for
revision of the entire administra-
tive setup," and stated that military
trials now operate under a dual
system of justice-one for officers
and one for enlisted men"
Later this afternoon. the COM
mittee will call eight Army generals
as witnesses. The witnesses will be
headed by Veterans Administrator
Bradley and Gen. Courtney II.
Hodges, who commanded the 1st
Army. .....
The nine-man committee, ap-
pointed by Secretary Of War Pat
terson, is headed by Arthur T. VAN
derbilt of Newark, N. j.

Doctor Critically Hurt
As He Is Thrown Out

DR.. Paul r. Hunt, 48, a Kansas
City surgeon, was in critical con6-
ton today at Emergency Hospital
with fractured skull suffered when
he was thrown from q car as it and

another passenger, was treated for

ing, he was released under $500

Office here to help them. The Office

by the West Virginia Nonpartisar
Committee, with Miss Grace Nc.

charge.
Maryland Requires Preparation.
Albert Porterfield, who takes care
of the notary work which is done
without charge, estimated that
about 5000 West Virginia voters will
cast their ballots through that Office
or through the bureaus of the polit-
ical parties. Between 1000 and 10,00t
West Virginia voters live in this
area, he said.
Workers of both parties have a
rather wry smile when it comes tc
discussing the arrangements to vote
in Maryland. AS election time nears
some Maryland residents inquire
about registering and then learn
that year before they offer te
vote in any election they must make
q declaration of intent to vote. And
then some forget about 1t until the
next election approaches, and it's
too late again.
Workers of both parties are keenly
alive to the importance OF getting
out the vote here. They point out
the ballots from the Capital should
decide many a race for Representa-
tive if it is close.
At the Democratic headquarters,
a case in point was cited:NI In 1912
Jennings Randolph, Democrat, OF
West Virginia, won election by a
majority Of only 259 votes. Demo-
cratic workers here said the alb
sentee vote for Mr.. Randolph un-
doubtedly won that election for him
The Hatch Act makes few Gov
ernment workers hesitant about 60
ing to a political bureau for help in
registration and voting, although
both parties point out the act does
not curtail a persons right to cast
a ballot.
Some Different Questions.
There is still another agency that
aids the voter, but only with in
formation. That Is the League OF
Women Voters at 1915 Connecticut
avenue NV, which is nonpartisan
In the last month, workers at the
league Offices have answered the
question of about 425 callers, mostly
over the telephone.
Most Of the requests for infor-
nation are about the procedure OF
registering, obtaining ballot and
voting it. But there are others
like those from brides wanting te
know If they can continue to vote
in their own State or must vote In
the husbands State. The answer
is they can vote where they voted
before, if their legal residence Is
there.
Then this question crops up oc-
casionally: How long do you have
to live in the District to vote?"
And the answer is, of course. that
although you may have lived and
paid taxes in the District all youl
life, you can't vote.
