Citizenship Restored
To S,94O Peacetime
Service Deserters
BY the Assoeioted Press

President Truman has given a
precious Christmas present-res-
toration of citizenship rights-to
thousands of peacetime deserterS
from the armed forces and many
ex-convicts who have served hon.
orably in those forces during the
Korean war
The two Christmas eve procla-
nations give those rights back to
(a> Those convicted of desertion
and dishonorably discharged after
court-martial between the end Of
World War II fighting and the
outbreak of Korean hostilities
and (b) convicted violators of
Federal law who have completed
t'oeir terms and served honorably
in the defense forces for year
since Korea.
8,940 DeSerters Affected.
The Defense Department said
its records indicate that 8.940
deserters may be affected. T''~'
figure breaks down to $500 from
the Army and the old Armv Ar
Corps. 1000 from the Navv and
Marines. 400 from the Air Force
which replaced the Air Corps. and
40 from the Coast Guard.
The count was yet to be made
on those who benefit from hav-
ing served in the armed forces
since comnletion of FEDERAL prison
terms. The Justice Department
said the Pentagon would have to
make that check. since Justice
keeps no track of military service
after men get out of prison.
For the majority of those af-
fected. the principal right given
back to them will be the vote.
But the Federal Government.
which itself does not hold any
elections, does not directly con-
troll the right. Most States
WHICH do have that control

persons convicted of a Federal
felony.
Voting Right Up to States.
Actual restoration of the voting
RIGHT thus is left up to the States
but officials here assumed they
would follow the Federal lead.
Justice officials said those who
deserted during the state Of war

become stateless persons.

foreign-born persons. The return
Of citizenship rights could near
the difference between deporta-
tion and the right IN remain in
America. That would not apply
to the native-born since there is
no place to send such a stateless
person.
Mr.. Truman took note in his
proclamation Of a section of the
McCarran immigration law. which
went into effect at midnight Tues
day. providing that any one dis
honorably discharged on a court
martial conviction for desertion
in time of war shall lose citizen
ship.
Technically this country was
still at war between August IA,
1945. when fighting ended in Eu-
rope. and June 25. 1850, when the
Korean outbreak took place.
Since there was no active fight
