Senate Probe Protects Servicemen From Discipline
Washington June 21 Former service men testifying before the Senate special committee probing government actions regarding them will be shielded from disciplinary measures by government bureaus. The panel voted to seek reinstatement for two students dismissed and four transferred over protests about insanitary conditions at the Pascagoula training center. Senator Walsh charged the board of vocational education with intimidation via dismissals. Senator Sutherland condemned disciplinary acts, while Senator Pomerene likened them to executing a man and trying him afterward.
