Court AssoiIs Air Force
On WAF Morals Case

The United States Court of
Claims ruled today that the
Air Force had no right to give
a WAF corporal accused Of
homosexuality an "other than
honorable" discharge without a
chance to defend herself at a
court-martial.
Speaking for a unanimous
court, Judge J. Warren Madden
delivered a stern lecture to the
Defense Department on the
elements of justice in ruling on
the case.
The former corporal, Fannie
Mae Clackum, sued the Air
Force for back pay on grounds
that her discharge was illegal
and invalid. The Court OF
Claims today denied the Gov
ernment's motion for dismissal
and implied it would grant the
back-pay claim.
Miss Clackum was inVesti-
gated by the Office of Specia,
Intelligence while serving al
Barksdale Air Force Base ir
Louisiana in 1851. She was
never informed of the charges
against her but several months
later was called before hel
commanding officer and giver
an opportunity to resign. She
refused and demanded a court.
martial. Her request wa'
denied and she was given g
discharge under conditions
other than honorable"
Evening star., 1960-01-20

Condemning such a procedure
as a violation of the basic
right of accused persons to be
confronted with the accusa-
tions against them, Judge Mad
den said;
1T is as if a prosecuting at
torney were authorized, in a
case where he concluded that
he did not have enough evi-
dence to obtain a conviction in
court, to himself impose the
fine or Imprisonment which he
thought the accused person de-
served"
Air Force regulations relating
to the handling Of homosexual
charges against enlisted per-
sonnel permit the Secretary Of
the Air Force to authorize an
undesirable or other type of dis
charge without a court-martial.
The court rejected the Gov
ernment'S argument that such
a procedure is necessary in the
interest of IAN efficient military
establishment" 4--
"A dishonorable discharge is,
for a soldier, one of the most
severe penalties which may be
imposed by a court-martial,"
Judge Madden declared. He
said it was unthinkable that the
Air Force should have the raw
power" to assess such penalty.
with the loss of rights and the
stigma it carries, without re-
spect for the most elementary
notions of due process of law.

He said tests to date have
shown the value of balloons
since in no other way can
space flight be simulated with
such roominess and efficiency.

On next weeks flights, un-

Increased support for IN

veStigators to take advantage
Of study opportunities afforded
by the current flu outbreaks
was announced yesterday. -
Surgeon General Leroy e
Burney of the Public Health
Service said methods of stinlu-
lating research during this IN
fluenza season were developed
January 13 at meeting of the
services committee of invests
gators.
The committee is composed
of some of the Nations Lead
ing authorities on Influenza
and related diseases. -
DR.. Burney said committed
members agreed to accelerate
their own research and to en-
courage other investigators to
conduct influence studies. All
proposed influenza research
projects will be reviewed at the
National Institutes of Health
and qualified projects will be
approved quickly, he added. ~

said problems which need study
include: Assessment of the
value of the vaccine given in
the 1857 epidemic as to it's pos
sible degree of protection now;
the degree of immunity of un-
vaccinated individuals who had
flu in the 1857 epidemic; the ei-

War Colleges Merger
Studied by Joint Chiefs

who are assumed to be on their
way to top command. The
theory behind the merger plan
is that if these officers go to
school together they will not
bicker later. n.
The principal Navy objection
is the services have different
problems and therefore require
different training. Also, the
merged college would have to
choose a point of view, and the
Navy fears it would be the Air
Force view. -.
A suggestion to merge West
Point and Annapolis to create
a three-service academy was
dropped in l947 in favor of an
other proposal to start a third
academy for the Air Force. A
recent proposal to merge the
National War College and the
Industrial College of the Armed
Forces, both in Washington.
was rejected by the joint chiefs.
Evening star., 1960-01-20

The Joint Chiefs of Staff are
studying a proposal to merge
all the service war colleges as
a step toward greater unifica-
ton and an attempt to reduce
inter-service arguments.
The Air Force, which ordi-
narily backs most unif1cation
proposals, is reported to favor
the plan. The Navy, which
usually opposes moves it be-
lieves would lead toward a
service merger, opposes. The
Army. often in the middle on
such issues, seems to be OPP
posed.
The plan came to the Joint
Chiefs from the Secretary of
Defense. 1t is reported that
President Eisenhower favors it.
Under the proposal, the
Army, Navy and Air Force war
colleges will have a single COM

lum. These schools are at

ReviewSought
On Term Limit
OF TrafficUnit
By JOHN A. NEARY
Star Stah Writer

Citizens Traffic Board Chair
man Arthur j. Sundlun said
last night he will ask the Dis
trict Commissioners to review
an order from the Engineer
Commissioners office limiting
board members to one term in
office.
Mr.. Sundlun's statement
came after a board meeting
yesterday in which members
asked that their position be
clarified by the Commissioners.
If applied to present board
members, Mr.. Sundlun said. the
order would bring about q
wholly new board within the
next three years.
Some of the members have
served as District traffic ad-
visers for nearly 20 years, hav-
ing served on the D. c. Citizens
Traffic Advisory Board, prede-
ceSsor of the present board.
The present board members
are named by the Commission
ers to serve one, two or three
year terms under an organiza-
ton order made last February
10. No member may serve
more than two successive terms
Interpretation
The present controversy stems
from Interpretation of whether
members terms are to be cal
culated as starting last Febru-
ary or as including previous
service as traffic advisers. The
latter Interpretation. Mr.. Sund-
lun said, means I'VE are in our
second term"
A board spokesman said last
night 'it was definitely stated
at a full meeting of the board
and the Engineer Commissioner
that this is a new board"

Engineer Commissioner, WHIT

the way it was figured out.
Col. Unger said he could no
remember a meeting on thu
question and that he was GER
tain the organization ordeI
docs not say anything abou
that" adding 1T is a matte
Of interpretation"
Connection Denied
Both the Colonel and Mr.

board spokesman that the deci
sion was connected to ram

neer Commissioners office ant

in an advisory and publ,
support capacity" Col. Unge
cited the groups appearance,
before the Commissioners earl,
this month and said, Public
controversy in groups like thi
isn't recommended" He de
clared that when such advisor,
groups disagree with the Com
missioners. they should oper
ate behind closed doors"
Mr.. Sundlun said, I'VE hav
had the press in at our meet
ings for years-we have moth
ing of a secret nature" . ? 81.
At yesterdays meeting, tn
board also asked the Distric
Commissioners to analyze al
the traffic cases handled b
Municipal Court during the las
two years and to study tn
feasibility of an undergroun,
parking garage beneath Far
ragut Square.
The proposed traffic-cas
study is aimed at supplying tn
group with new ammunitio
for its battle to have traffi
court judges appointed to 10
year terms. At the preser
