just what type Of discharge
Is granted is entirely UP to the
discretion of Army Secretary
Brucker. acting in pursuance
Of Army regulations. Mr.. Mac

Fear Flood Of Complaints
II the high court decides It

the case. Justice Department
officials fear a flood Of COM

ex-soldiers seeking to have
their discharges upgraded.
The question as to authority
to review service discharges has
never yet been passed on by
the Supreme Court.
While arguing in favor OF
the discretionary power OF the
Secretary over discharges gen.
orally, Mr.. MacGuineas adj
mitted he had no authority to

admitted the Secretary had

From the American point Of
view, what Il good about this
Russian proposal Is that II
seems 10 recognize for the firSt
time q connection between tns
withdrawal Of rtoops and the
need for some form Of increased
U. N. responsibility In both
Jordan and Lebanon.
What Is bad about II Is It's
structure which implies that
the tension IN the Middle East
Us the result Of the presence
there Of British and American
troops.
Whether there is a possibility
OF reaching more solid common
ground between the Russian
and American positions was the
main purpose Of a meeting last
might between Secretary Dulles
and Mr.. Gromyko. Although
nothing has been announced as
10 the result Of their talk. Mr..
Dulles is said TO be confident
that the coming session viii pro-
duce something constructive on
the Middle East problem.
What the American delega-
ton hopes to produce Is now
reasonably clear. In addition TO
the overall proposals contained
in President Eisenhower's
speech before the assembly to-
day. the objective Of the Amer
lean delegation here is 10 find
a practical way to withdraw the
forces from Lebanon and Jor-
dan with the most grace and
the least risk.
