Reinstate 2300 Career Officers Promoted by Army Regulation
Washington AP. A regulation the Army failed to follow could force the Pentagon to reinstate more than 2300 career officers who were twice passed over for promotion and told to leave the service. The Army refused to keep them on active duty while the issue is decided. Many are captains majors and warrant officers whose careers were cut as part of a manpower cutback urged by then Army Secretary Howard Callaway who later resigned to head Ford’s campaign. A Baltimore federal court ordered an records corrections board to rule by Jan 1 on complaints raised by Promotion Research Committee organizer Maj. Douglas Maxfield who says Callaway ignored regulations and hurt thousands of careers. Maxfield alleges boards were convened with few reserve officers and argues board actions were invalid without reserve representation. The case centers on promotion board composition and retirement savings.

Ford To Videotape Statement On Fromme Attempt
President Ford will record a videotaped statement this week about his observations during Lynette Fromme’s attempt on his life. Judge MacBride refused to dismiss Ford as a defense witness for Fromme, and a DOJ spokesman warned the subpoena sets a concerning precedent. The White House says Ford will answer questions Friday or Saturday, not during California appearances. Separately, Sara Jane Moore pleads not guilty to the Sept. 22 shooting attempt and a mental competence hearing is set for Nov. 17 with a trial on Dec. 15.
