Eisenhower Orders
Sitter Penalties for
AW0L Servicemen
BY d Star Stoff Correspondent

DENVER, Sept. 29.-President |
Eisenhower yesterday ordered
into effect still new maximum
penalties for members Of Amer
ica's armed forces convicted OF
being absent without leave.
He issued an executive order |
authorizing dishonorable dis
charges for some classes of such
offenses for which that penalty
has not been prescribed hereto
fore.
The order provided for longer
prison terms at hard labor for
briefer AWOL periods than now
authorized.
Reason for Penalties.
The sitter penalties, sent out
as amendments to sections OF
the United States Manual for
Courts-Martial, presumably are
designed to help combat reported
increases in AWOL offenses In
the armed forces.
One new provision provides
dishonorable discharge and for
feiture of all pay and allow
ances for serviceman con-
victed of an offense for which
dishonorable discharge is now
authorized If he has three or
more such convictions on his
record within a year.
A section of the manual pro-
viding a maximum penalty OF
three days hard labor for each
day up to so absent without
leave was made much tougher.
For not more than three days
absence, the amendments au-
thorize up to one months con-
finement at hard labor and for
feiture of two-thirds pay per
month not to exceed one month.
For more than three but not
over 80 days AWOL, the maxi
mum penalty is set as six months
hard labor and forfeiture OF two
thirds pay up to six months.
For more than 80 days Of
absence. a new penalty of dis
honorable discharge, forfeiture
of all pay and allowances. and
up to one years confinement at
hard labor is provided.
Absence From Guard.
A serviceman absent from a
guard or watch post with in
tent to abandon" may forfeit all
pay and allowances under the
new order as well as get the
previous maximum penalty of a
bad-conduct discharge and si1
months at hard labor.
Forfeiture of all pay and al
lowances also is added to the
maximum penalties for missing
movement of ship, aircraft or
unit. Previous penalty for such
an offense through design"
was dishonorable discharge and
six months hard labor. The hard
labor penalty also is increased
to one year for this offense. II
the offense was merely through
neglect, the maximum penalty
has been a bad-conduct dis
charge and three months haro
labor, which now may be 81,
months.
