Stay-Down Airman To Escape Sentence
Washington reports an Air Force officer, Lt. Verne Goodwin, facing a two year prison term for refusal to fly, has offered resignation to avoid punishment. Base officials at Biggs, El Paso, Texas, said no official comment on patterns for others. Goodwin’s resignation, reportedly accepted under military assurances, would avert hard labor and pay loss, though discharge would be under conditions not honorable. He is among 14 Air Force members with courts martial for refusal to fly, with two cases dismissed and others pending.
