Possible Legal Grounds in Dishonorable Discharges for Three Returning POWs
Washington reports three American POWs who stayed with Chinese forces during the Korean War left Hong Kong for the United States to face consequences for possible wrongdoings. The men may challenge Army authority to issue dishonorable discharges without a court martial, as defense secretary Wilson orders administrative action rather than courts. The case raises broader questions about military jurisdiction, civil action, and the legality of reasserting control over discharged service members. William A. Cowart of Dalton Georgia Otho G. Bell of Hillsboro Mississippi and Lewis W. Griggs of Jacksonville Texas are among those involved.
