Death Penalty Precluded.
The Unified Code of Military
Justice provides a maximum
penalty of death for the charges
lodged against Corpl. Dickinson.
However. that sentence has been
precluded by action of Maj. Gen.
Edwin K. Wright. commander
of the Military District of Wash
ington.
In referring the case to trial,
the Army explained, Gen. Wright
certified that it was "a nom
capital offense," which is his
privilege under the code.
Eight officers will compose the
court martial. Col. Richard F.
Scarborough will preside. 1t. Col.
Edward w. Hendrick will be
chief defense counsel. He will
have two assistants.
The Army emphasized that the
charges on which Corpl. Dicken-
son will be tried involve his &C

patriation Commission.

It was while he was in the
hands of the Indian custodial
command that the corporal
changed his mind and decided
to come home. Another Ameri-
can who first refused to return.
Corpl. Claude j. Bachelor of
Texas soon followed him, leaving
81 others who decided to remain
with the Reds.
The Army said that Corpl.
Dickinson would have been
similarly charged and tried even
had he returned in the prisoner
exchange" last summer and fall.
No charges have been lodged
against Corpl. Bachelor.
The Dickinson trial will be
held at Fort McNair in open
court except for those periods
when the court is closed for
elaboration. No date was set.
