New York, N. Y. (Speeial) -
For the first time science has

Missouri, the chairman, that the
Army would re-examirle this
practice.
Mr.. Milton said that in every
case q man who had relied on
the Fifth Amendment in answer
ing questions as to his activities
and associations had been as
signed to controlled duties"
He added that those who were
released in less than two years
were given undesirable dis
charges while those who re-
manned in the service were given
general discharges under hon.
orable conditions. This latter
type is less than q full honorable
discharge and deprives the In
dividual Of certain rights and
benefits.
Court Ruling Hits Policy
The policy which the Army
has promised to review was hit
hard only yesterday by q Fed
eral Court decision In New York.
The court ruled, in q case
brought by eight former GIs.
that the Army could not deny
a person q full honorable dis
charge on the grounds Of his
activities and associations prior
to his induction.
According to Mr.. Milton the
Army currently has AZ men on
controlled duty. He emphasized
that this was a small problem in
an organization Of more than
! million persons. In addition,
he testified, in calendar 1855
nine persons so far have been
denied induction on grounds
they were Communists and lin
the last fiscal year 2ll persons
were denied honorable discharges
because Of activities. associations
or utterances prior or during
their services.
Lon Hooker, subcommittee
counsel, asked how the Army
could punish a person for rely
ing on his constitutional rights
and to tell him that he does not
have to fill out certain portions
of the personal history form.
Warning on Form Mentioned
Lewis Berry, assistant general
counsel for the Army, who sat
alongside MIR. Milton, replied
that perhaps a warning on fall
ure to answer might well be
noted on. the form.
Mr.. Milton agreed that the
taking Of the constitutional priv
ileges later turns up as a charge
against the individual and "trig-
gers of" an investigation.
The Assistant Secretary tes-
titled that membership in any
group listed by the Attorney Gen.
eral or House Committee On Un-
American Activities is regarded
as evidence of a possible sub
versiye character. He said. too,
that the Army also has addi-
tional organizations on list Of
its own that it used in judging
individuals.
Mr.. Milton insisted, however.
that mere membership did not
automatically result In q man
being assigned to controlled duty,
but that it was only one critic
