last night that Maj. Gen. Her
bert M. Jones, Army Adjutant
General, conceded that occa-
sional mistakes are almost in
evitable in assignment of thou
sands of men, especially when
sent by local draft boards.
Declaring, however, that the
Army makes every effort to
correct instances of misutiliza-
ton of manpower. Gen. Jones
promised prompt investigation
and corrective action in the
cases cited by Mr.. Cretella.
IF they Cservicemen) feel
they are being improperly util-
lied they may write to the Ad-
jutant General through chan
nels," Gen. Jones explained.
Their proper utilization is
verified at regular intervals by
the Military Personnel Man
agement Teams working out
of my Office. Additionally, COM
manders receive periodic re-
orientation as to the detectives
of the program and the neces-
sity to insure optimum use of
this manpower.
In view of the controls eX-
ercised by the Department of
the Army for Identification and
utilization of scientific and
professional personnel, the ma
Jority of the charges of SCI
entific manpower waste can
be categorically denied"
The Adjutant Generals letter
was in reply to an Aberdeen
Proving Grounds complaint
called to his attention by Mr.,
Cretella. The Connecticut men,
Der did not identify the soldier
or the source of the complaint.
But he described this incident
was the most blatant example
of misuse of manpower. y
Used as Furnace StOker
Mr.. Cretella said this involved
an enlisted man with degree
in mathematics, a masters de-
gree in business administration,
a law degree. and work toward
a masters degree in statistics.
Unless there has been a very
recent change. Mr. Cretella
reported, the soldier currently
is working as a fireman Stok-
ing furnaces.
He said he also has received
information that civil engineers
at some installations drew as
signmentS as clerk typists and
that bacteriologiSt with a
masters degree was trained by
the Army as a first aid spe-
cialist. He said he also had re-
ceived reports that some
soldiers with scientific and
technical training nevertheless
ARE constantly hindered in
this work by such military
duties as kitchen police, guard
duty. barracks orderly, bat
TALON fatigue and commissary
duty"
Cites Limitations
Gen. Jones wrote that such
assignments often were neces-
sary because of the monetary
and personnel ceilings under
which the Army must operate.

sion that Gunther's conviction
was not proper in that his

The commission report
showed Gunther to be COM

Cody, a psychiatrist at Saint

finding.
Judge Holtzoff's ruling. how
ever, was made in the face of
testimony by DR.. William G.

he feels that Gunther is still
suffering from a mental ILL

month or so to stand trial.

American Bar Association has
told Commissioner David B
Karrick that parole and proba-
ton facilities must be improved
before any expansion Of the pro-
gram takes place.
I About 100 recommendations
dealing with the expansion of
these services have been sent to
the Commissioner following a
study by a subcommittee of the
American Bar Associations Spe-
cial Committee on Improving the
Administration of Justice in the
District.
This was revealed today by
Curtis Shears. who reported the
development to the Commission
ers' Youth Council.
I Recently, Mr.. Karrick sug-
gested a wide expansion of pa
I role and probation services as a
means of reducing prison costs
IN the District. He is expected
to release the recommendations

boy who owned the car. The boy
confessed he had taken part in
the tree planting. Canon Martin
sent him home until we settle
this"
Then he went off TO his class
in sacred studies with the sixth
form. After class. several OF the
boys told him they had also
taken part in the incident.
Joke Goes 10 All Lengths
There was some dispute over
the trees size. Some of the boys
claimed it was 40 feet tall.
Canon Martin thought 1t was 20
feet. And he didn't think 1t
was very funny.
The first boy returned TO school
the next day and the whole class
got a stiff lecture on practical
Jokes and plain foolishness. "
Canon Martin told the class II
was zone Of the best we've ever
had here" and said he would
forgive the incident If the boys
would behave In the future.
The tree was taken down half
an hour after the headmaster
first saw 1t. II has since been
chopped up for firewood.
