Appoint Enlisted Men
To Military Courts,
VFW Official Urges
Appointment of at least two en
listed men to Army and Navy court
martial boards was urged by a Vet
erans of Foreign Wars official today
before a subcommittee of the House
Armed Services Committee studying
bills to revamp the military justice
system.
The committee is considering two
measures, one by Chairman Elston
which would make appointment of
enlisted men optional, the other by
Representative Durham, Democrat,
of North Carolina which would force
courts to include enlisted members.
Chairman Elston, who opened the
hearings Monday, said his bill in
cludes recommendations of the Doo
little investigation and of the Amer
ican Bar Association on military
justice. Mr. Durham's measure in
cludes provisions approved last year
by the old Military Affairs Commit
tee.
Donald E. Long, Portland, Oreg.,
chairman of the VFW Military Jus
tice Committee, said his recom
mendations are the result of hear
ings held her? earlier this week.
Besides the placing of GIs on court
boards, he asked:
That defense councils be appoint
ed from a pool, free from immediate
command, and channeled through
the Judge Advocate General’s De
partment in all general court cases;
adoption of uniform manuals by
Army and'Navy courts; "comparable
punishment for officers and enlisted
men for all offenses, and encourage
ment for enlisted men to attend
military trials.
Mr. Long also asked the commit
tee to order revamping of present
articles of war “so that the obsolete
ones can be repealed.” He said he
did not believe that enlisted men
should have any special qualifica
tions or training in order to serve
as court members.
“They should be average soldiers,
just as the average citizen is chosen
in civil life for jury duty,” he said.
