Military Justice Code
Called Cumbersome;
Revisions Are Asked
By The Ak,oeiafed Press

| CHICAGO, Jan. GA military
law authority said yesterday the
armed forces legal system is too
cumbersome, too complicated,
and. in many cases, applied by
command officers at the expense
| of their regular duties"
Col. Thomas H. King of Wash
ington, chairman Of the National
Judge Advocate Association, said
the 5-year-old uniform code of
military justice also should be
revised to curb abuse of the APP
+ peal process.
"The command officer who
now handles trials should ne re-
lieved of the responsibility for
| general courts-martial and given
greater authority on special
courts" Col. King said. "The
great bulk of trials should be
delegated to legal officers trained
for the work and assigned to it
exclusively"
He urged that military review
boards also be placed in the
hands of career men in the
armed forces.
Appeals Screening Sought.
Some screening Of appeals is
necessary, he told a military law
forum sponsored by the Federal
Bar Association. At present an
appeal is mandatory when the
defendant asks 1t.
The law code was adopted by
the Army, Navy and Air Force
In 1851.
At the time of its passage,
there was tacit agreement among
lawmakers that the code would
be given a five-year trial before
amendments would be consid-
cred. That period has expired,
and there Is pressure within and
without the Army, Navy and Air
Force for revisions.
