Lee, Fugitive Here
And in Alexandria,,
Seized in Annapolis

Michael Lee, %, wanted in both
Virginia and Washington on
charges ranging from bail jump
ing to intent to kill, was appre-
hended yesterday on an Annapo-
lis street.
Annapolice police said they
picked up Lee. fugitive from
justice since February 3. as he
sat alone in his parked automo-
bile. He did not resist arrest.
He was taken Immediately to
the city Jail to await arrival of
a Federal warrant for bond de-
fault-the technical term for
jumping his $4,000 bail in Alex
andria.
The former bartender diSap-
peared just one day before he
was due to appear before Fed
eral Judge Albert v. Bryan for
sentencing in connection with OPP
Grafton of an illegal still on a
Fairfax County farm.
Had Pleaded Guilty
Lee had pleaded guilty to the
liquor charge along with three
other men: and had assured his
bondsman, Edward S. Loveless,
he would appear for imposition
of sentence. Instead he vanished.
An FBI spokesman said ar
rangements will be completed
over the week end with the
United States Marshal in Balti-
more to turn Lee over to Carlton
G. Beall, United States Marshal
here. Mr.. Beall, in turn, will
deliver Lee to Alexandria.
In Alexandria he will face a
charge of jumping. his bail and
being a fugitive, and sentencing
in the bootlegging offense.
Washington authorities want
him for reversal offenses. He was
indicted by District grand jury
on Thursday on charges of as
sault with intent to kill, posses
sing a deadly weapon and Gar
rying a concealed weapon. '
Charged in Gunfight
3. The charges stem from a gun
fight in the~front seat of a taxi
cab travelling slowly in the 1900
block of M street Sc, last jan
uary %. Police said Lee opened
fire on Walter w. Pickett, So.
driver - of the cab. Pickett
wrenched the gun from Lee and
shot Lee in the left arm. The
hacker was wounded twice in
the right leg and once in the
right arm.
Pickett, one of the men SEN
fenced in the Fairfax County
still case, was given a four-year
term by Judge Bryan.
Other brushes with the law
for Lee. who lives in the HOO
block of Fourteenth street NV,
include a two-year prison term
and $4,000 fine for running mari
juana in 1913.
In 1852. he was charged with
assault in the shooting of
former West Point cadet. Willard
G. Wyman, jr., son of Army 1t.
Gen. Wyman. The case was
dropped when the youth refused
to prosecute.
In 1853. he was convicted of
slugging the manager of the
Artists and Models Club. 1923 U
street NV. with a bottle.

BANGKOK, Thailand.-Priv-
ates in the Thai army need more
initiative.
Generals in the Thai army
need greater knowledge about
modern weapons.
The Joint United States Mill
tary Advisory Group is rushing
to remedy these weaknesses and
thus prepare the Thai military
forces for possible use in a first
class fight.
About $50 Americans under the
command of Maj. Gen. w. N.
Gilmore are working at every
level in the Thai armed forces
an alternately reWarding and
frustrating task.
More Planes on Way
The United States has given
Thailand rifles, machineguns,
mortars, light tanks and F8F
Bearcat propeller-driven aircraft.
The United States soon will give
the That's jet trainer planes, jet
fighters and other equipment
when the That's are able to oper-
ate the machines.
The Americans like the That's
as fighters. They are not afraid
to fight or die. But they have to
be told exactly what to do.
History explains part of this.
For TOO years, Thailand was an
absolute monarchy. From 1882
until 1947 it was constitutional
monarchy. Since then, it has
been in the hands of a highly
centralized government.
Almost nowhere along the line
have underlings been allowed to
show much initiative. Today, a
private in the Thai army will
carry out instructions to the let
ter-and that's all. If he has no
instructions on what to do.
chances are that he will do Moth
ing.
The American military adj
yiSers, trained in probably the
most NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Army
in the world, are trying to get the
Thai army to allow its men more
responsibility. The soldiers them

well appreciates the value of such

This encourages him to keep

The Pentagon is about to ask
Congress to approve a revised
version Of the Code of Military
Justice.
Commanding officers would
have the right to impose sem
fences Of seven days confine-
ment and forfeiture of one-half
a months pay for minor offenses
committed by enlisted personnel
under the new setup.
Officers could be sentenced by
their commanders without
court-martial to forfeiture of
one-half a months pay for three
months instead of the present
one month.
These and other changes are
designed to improve discipline
obviate the necessity of conven-
ing courts-martial for most mi
nor offenses and to speed up the
whole military judicial proce-
dure. They are scheduled to be
sent to Congress within a few
days. The Star learned today.
Passed in 1850
The present law was passed in
1850 when the public feeling,
built up over the war years. was
that discipline was far too harsh.
1t allows commanders far less
latitude in dealing with minor
infractions of the code. The COM
manders long have complained
that discipline has suffered as a
result.
The changes would apply to
all military personnel. Some of
the punitive actions permitted
commanding officers for dealing
with minor offenses now are con-
fined only to those aboard ships.
Commanding officers may deal
with minor offenses by enlisted
personnel by one of the following
means:
Withdrawal of privileges for
two weeks, restriction to quar-
tiers for two weeks. imposition of
extra duties for two weeks or
reduction in grade. If at sea,
commanding officers may also
confine such offenders for seven
days in the brig or put them on
bread and water for three days.
Commanding officers now may
sentence officers who commit
minor offenses to the withdrawal
of all privileges for two weeks,
restriction to quarters for two
months or forfeiture of one-half
months pay.
Other Changes
Other changes in the code
being studied would:
/. Permit an accused person
to waive trial by multiple off,

Peters Lawyers Advocate
Doom Of Loyalty Setup

Attorneys challenging the
Governments loyalty hearing
methods commended today that
the Supreme Court would do the
Justice Department an lines
timable favor" by declaring the
system unconstitutional.
They said this in a supple
mentary brief filed in prepara-
ton for Supreme Court oral
arguments next week on the ap-
peal of DR.. John P. Peters.
The Yale University Medical
School professor was dropped
from a part-time consultant job
with the United States surgeon
generals Office after loyalty
board findings against him. His
appeal to the Supreme Court
especially attacks the hear
ing procedure by which a
suspected Government employe
has no chance to know or
confront persons or to refute
anonymous evidence tending to
link him to subversive tieups.

cedure unconstitutional" the

favor to the Department of JUS

us that attempts to obtain judi
cial sanctity for arbitrary execu-
tive acts without the substance of
a fair trial blow up in the faces
of those who initiate them.
This was true in the case of
Joan of Arc. This was true in

not remove the stigma from DR..
Peters without seeming to impair
the legal authority Of its alleged
independent tribunals. This sail
ent fact should remove all doubt
that the proceeding here Is judi
cial in character and must be
conducted with due process of
law"
Reply to Justice Brief
This additional brief in the
Peters case replied specifically to
a supplementary brief submitted
to the Supreme Court several
weeks ago by the Justice Depart
ment. The new brief disputed
the Governments claim that the
courts have no authority to inter-
fere with the selection and re-
moval Of Government personnei

pears to think" the brief said,
that the elaborate inquisition

trial and appellate tribunals,
with its army of informers. with
its periodic announcement Of

dent Of ordinary personnel man
agement and therefore beyond
the protection Of the Constitu-
ton.
1T is our position that pro-
ceedings under the loyalty pro-
gram are not a part of routine
personnel management. Further
1t Is our position that the Gov
ernment's power with respect to
its personnel is subject to Con-
stitutional limitations in certain
situations. -
