-Four Service Journals
Back Army's Handling
|0f West Point Case
washington, ~. ~. ~
SATURDAY, AUGUST IL, 1851

The Nations four major service
journals ;oday editorially Defend
ed the Army's action in dropping
80 cadets from West Point for all
legged violations of the honor code.
In issues mailed to subscribers
this week end the four weeklies led
their editorial pages with COM
ments en- the scandal. All de-
plored the incident, but all backed
the Arny's way of handling it.
One criticized what it termed
unnecessary piety on the part Of
some Amy critics, and another
reflected that the American pub
lie must nave departed far from
the crcne-and-punishment con-
|cept to be greatly concerned over
the incident.
The hrmy-Navy-Air Force Jour-
NAL, Oldest of the four magazines,
emphasized that the dismissals
were for violations of the honor
code, not simply for cheating, and
added:
mo one contends the men in
volved are criminals. But to make
exceptiors is to begin the break
down Of code that has governed
the Military Academy virtually
since 1876, when the superintend-
ent dismissed cadet for lying in
connection with tavern brawl."
Only Tiny Fraction Guilty.
Armed Force magazine pointed
out that in the furore over 80
instances of alleged cheating. the
fact was overlooked that approx
imately 2,430 young men did not
cheat, are not faced with dis
mlssal and have professed every
intent to preserve, maintain and
abide by the honor code"
4 The magazine added: 1T would
seem that about 96 and 44I100
per cent remain pure"
The Army-Navy-Air Force Reg
lister criticized what it called ''un-
considered" talk and said of it:
: Much of the talk . betrayed
la lack of knowledge of just what
the rigid honor system of West
Point is and its part in the fabric
!, of the institutions esprit. Some
of it was unnecessarily pious.
especially from some Congress-
men who registered complete dis
may at the revelations when they
had been apparently unperturbed
on the three occasions since World
War I when members of the Con-
gress had been sentenced to prison
for crimes that involved violation
of their Offices
Hits Sports Overemphasis.
Charging that the dismissals
have pointed up overemphasis of
athletics at the academy, the
, Register called for an investiga-
ton of the athletics situation.
The weekly added that "it is also
possible that the testing system
OF the Academy needs some re-
vision"
Army Times editorial said that
. while the Army was ashamed Of
the incident, there is more cause
for pride that there was no con-
cealment, no compromise with
principle, no condonement.
The paper commented:
What makes news, apparently.
is that the Army still has the old
fashioned concept of melting out
punishment for offenses. The
American public as a whole has so
far departed from that concept
that it's news when it's upheld" /"

M. Reich of Steelton, Pa, a star
back on the football team.
Mr.. Smith said that if necessary
he will make a final plea for
honorable discharges to Secretary
of the Army Pace.
His request for honorable dis
charges was echoed by others
close to the academy and by high
ranking officers on the campus.
Football Coach Earl H. Blaik. who
may lose most of his team as a
result of the dismissals, made a
similar public plea for the cadets
on Thursday.
Coach Blaik, a retired colonel,
could speak up openly; but their
status as active Army officers pre-
vents other academy personnel
from making their views public
Maj. Gen. Frederick A. Irving
academy superintendent, refused
to comment on reports of the hon.
orable discharge sentiment.
The cadets have been offered
a choice between resigning from
the academy or receiving admin
istrative discharges. An Army
spokesman says that both choices
would imply neither honorable
nor dishonorable conditions.
Senator Russell returned to
Washington yesterday after a
visit in his home State, Georgia.
He was there when the Military
Academy and the Pentagon an
nounced the dismissal action.
II have not had a chance to
poll the Armed Services Commit
tee but I understand Senator
Byrd found no sentiment for an
inquiry" Senator Russell said.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of
Virginia, was acting chairman
while Senator Russell was away.
IF there has been any violation
of the code of honor. disciplinary
action must be taken, despite the
regrettable hardship on individ-
uals." Senator Russell said. He
added:
There is a question as to
whether there has been an over
emphasis put on athletics"
Frank B. Gigliotti, national
commander of the Regular Vet
erans Association, said in a state
ment last night the West Point
cadets who have admitted crib
bing should be let off with a
severe but just reprimand"
The problem, he said, should
be approached in a Charitable,
Christian" manner and the cadets
restored Ito service SO they may
become useful citizens and leaders
in the armed forces"
Senator Hunt, Democrat, of
Wyoming, said on a radio pro-
gram "the general opinion on the
Hill is that the faculty is equally
to blame.
"The start Of these charges were
instigated by the Cadet Honor
Committee. They're the ones that
are insisting the 80 cadets should
be expelled. I think the matter
should be left to West Point to
SETTLE"
Senator Smith. Democrat, of
North Carolina, said on the same
program, I'VE should not be too
hasty in condemning the faculty
of West Point. I think the fac
ulty should be left the privilege
of settling this matter among
themselves.

should decide the fate of the ca
diets in question"

Horse and Buggy Days
BY OLDTINIER

firmly convinced of the truth of the
doctrine and it was advocated by
many of the clergy of England.
The suspicion of witchcraft among
the English in Massachusetts start
ed about the year 1915. Several
persons were supposed to be under
the evil hand, among them two chill
dren of minister. Great pains were
taken to prove the facts, but failed,
and so no person was convicted I'M
til the year 1850. From that time
on, Witchcraft started rolling. Many
were tried, convicted and put to
death, some of them in the most hor-
rible manner. Parents testified
against children and children against
parents. Cotton Mather, son of In
crease Mather, then president of
Harvard College, was superstitious
by nature and was firmly convinced
of the reality of witchcraft. 1t was
said of him that he could not bear
contradiction and was devoted to
the maintenance of the political
power of the clergy. He was re-
garded as one of the most learned
and gifted preachers of the colony.
Mather carried on his experiments
with diligence.
In 1862, a new case of witchcraft
occurred in Salem Village, later
known as Danvers. The total num-
Der hanged, just at this particular
place, was 20, and IS were tortured
or terrified into confession, so re-
ports say. Men were not immune
to accusations of "being in league
with the evil one" Such men were
known as Wizards" A case is re-
cited of an old man of 80 years of
age who was put to death in a most
horrible manner, in an effort to make
him confess that he was a wizard"
But Mather, after all, rendered
his country real service. In 1921,
having become satisfied that inocu-
latiOn was sure preventive of
SMALLPOX, he advocated the introduce
ton of it into the colony. In this
he was opposed by the whole body
of the clergy, who declared it was
an attempt to defeat the plans of the
Almighty who "sent the smallpox
as punishment for sins, and whose
vengeance would thus be provoked
the more" His life was at one time
in danger.
Perhaps many of our readers have
heard of certain kinds of modern
"witchcraft," or signs, or tokens.
Many years ago a man told us on
the street that he knew there was
something in signs. His two chill
dren, he said, cried necessarily. A
woman in the neighborhood tied
something in rag which she then
hung about the children's necks and
they ceased their crying. Then
there are those who will tell you
that if you plant peas in certain
sign of the Zodiac the peas will

blossom and not bear; if you plant
potatoes at the wrong time of the
moon they will either rise to the
top of the ground or go down deep;
vinegar must be made at the right
time of the governing power of the
moon; quoting a certain verse in the
Bible will stop the flow of blood,
etc; meat must be cured at the right
time, depending upon certain condi-
tions of the Zodiac. Also mysterious
noises, the source Of which is not
known, portends the death of some
one, and certain dreams mean certain
things.
