Major Smith May Take Civil Action Over Dismissal
Major Clinton H. Smith may pursue certiorari proceedings in Supreme Court to challenge a National Guard dismissal decision by an Albany board. The Major argues the board did not allow a personal hearing and that the ruling is illegal. Governor Roosevelt reportedly approved the board. Major Smith cites Section 64 of the Military Code and Justice Barrett’s rulings to support the board’s broad power, while supporters in the 71st Regiment split on the outcome.
