Airman in Tokyo defies order for white sidewall haircut
Airman 3.C. Donald Wheeler of Cortez Colorado faces a court martial for disobeying a supervisor’s request in Tokyo. The honor guard member seeks to keep regulation length sideburns, arguing no such haircut rule exists. Wheeler, in service three years, contends the crew cut demanded by the commander was the sole directive. He blames harassment, says the only required order was to keep hair neat and clean. The case hinges on whether the platoon sergeant can specify a nonregulation haircut. Murray Sprung, Wheeler’s New York lawyer, notes no rule on the white sidewall model. A board of officers will reconvene after July 15 with new members as needed. Wheeler’s parents are Jess Wheeler and Ina Rosecker.
