Conviction Set Aside for Navy Officer at Great Lakes
The court martial conviction of Lt Commander William E Johnson of Chicago was set aside except for one specification. He was accused of holding a civilian Illinois state job and receiving state pay while in naval service. A reprimand was issued for the remaining specification. Capt Potter of Jacksonville faced similar charges with a related outcome. The JAG also upheld the dishonorable discharge of Chief Petty Officer Claude Buckner for stealing a typewriter.
