West Point graduate First Lt. Louis P. Font, who sought Army discharge as a conscientious objector over the Vietnam war, is to be granted release. Font, Kansas City native and 1968 West Point graduate, had faced possible 25 years for willful disobedience after a clash with 1st Army officials over a report on housing at Fort Meade. He claimed fraudulent charges were pressed against him and said the Army chose to dismiss him to avoid another uniformed conflict.
