The judges are required to bemembers of the Federal Bar orthe bar of the highest court of astate. They will wear robes,have the power to hear trialswithout a jury at the request ofa defendant and be able to ruleon motions without a jury present.

The judges will report to theJudge Advocate General, not tolocal commanders, and their fit-ness reports and assignmentswill be determined by JAG.

This Recipe Yields Only DeathHere's one you Won't find in your recipe book:

a formula for serious injury or death.Take:

1. Five days of dirty, dusty training in thefield.

2. A pinch less sleep than is normally re-quired for safe driving.

3. A fraction of an inch less tread on yourtires than would be required to pass an auto safetyinspection.

4. Several ounces of alcoholic beverages.5. Forty miles of high speed highway at

night.Formula: Take the tiring days in the field and

lack of sleep; mix well until fatigue and drowsi-ness occur. Add to this several beers consumed ina local bar. Finally mix unsafe tires with a highspeed highway. In a few minutes the results willbe known,

This recipe can kill as sure as poison. Andmany soldiers, whether they know it or not, will

start cooking after vork tonight.By crossing percentages of past accidents it

is possible to determine when and why an acci-dent most often occurs and who is most likely tobe involved.

Statistics show that the person likely to be in-volved is an E-4 who is 21 years old. The acci-dent is most likely to occur between midnightand 3 a.m. Sunday. High speed driving and drowsi-ness often attributed to drinking are the chiefcauses.

Highway and weather conditions have had littleor no effect on the accident rate.

What does this mean to the average soldier?It's simple. The old "It can't happen to me"simply is not true. It CAN and does happen muchtoo frequently.

If you'd like to be a part of these statistics,just follow this simple recipe. And take yourchances on surviving.

Some of the policies which aidthe company in its safe drivingprogram are the briefings givenby the convoy commander beforethe trucks hit the road each day,careful maintenance given to each

truck by a maintenance sectionheaded by First Lieutenant JohnT. Sickman and Staff SergeantJohn McCleod, and the close su-pervision of the entire truckingoperation by First LieutenantJohn D. Stenger, motor officer,and Sergeant First Class Ray-mond Steverson, truckmaster.

The frequent safety talks, givenby the company safety officer,First Lieutenant Thomas Walsh,and the leadership of CaptainCharles L. Kohl, commandingofficer, and First Sergeant Eu-gene Williams, keep the menconstantly aware of the im-portance of safe driving habits.

The 12th has post wide truck-ing commitments ranging fromhauling troops, chow and equip-ment for BCT, AIT and unitsbivouaced in the field to pro-viding transportation for the re-servists who are training here.

PVT Fisher, a 1968 graduateof Syracuse University's New-house School of Communications,is a professional comedy writer.He is currently employed as astaff writer for the nationallysyndicated television program"That Show" starring comedienneJoan Rivers. The show is viewedin approximately 30 cities acrossthe country.

Although he works as a comedywriter, PVT Fisher says he seesnothing funny about good comedy."Comedy is just a cloak to delivera message," he said. "Everywriter has a point he wants tomake and, let's face it, no onewants to be lectured to. Thelaughs are just the sugar coat-ing on the message. Look atcolumnist Art Buchwald if youwant a perfect example of this,"he said.

He was one of 13 recipientsin the nation last year of ShubertFellowships for playwriting. Hereceived the award for a one-act satirical play.

The 23-year-old New Yorknative got his break into tele-vision because of the Army,"When I graduated from schoolI expected to be drafted im-mediately, so I took a job asa page at NBC in New York,"PVT Fisher said. "One of thepeople I met offered to intro-iduce me to Joan Rivers whenhe learned I was a writer. Hedid and two weeks later shehired me. The very next day myreserve unit had an opening andI was sworn in."

The hardest thing he has hadto adjust to is getting up at 4a. m. "As one of my friends said,'this will be the only opportunityI'll ever have to see 56 consecu-tive sunrises,'" PVT Fishersaid.

The 85th Division has a longand colorful history. It is nick-named the "Custer Division" be-cause it was originally activatedat Camp Custer, Mich., in August1917 to honor the memory ofGeneral George Custer, the fam-ous Indian fighter.

The 85th first saw action inWorld War I in Europe. One regi-ment was assigned to the Arch-angel area of northern Russia.The others went to France totrain and equip American troops.Both elements played major rolesin helping end the war. The Divi-sion was demobilized April 1919.

With the advent of World WarII, the 85th was reactivated atCamp Shelby, Miss., in May 1942.After vigorous training, the Divi-sion .landed at Casablanca,Morocco, early in 1944. TheCustermen fought gallantly inItaly. They were among the firstAmerican elements to enterRome and wrest it from Germancontrol.

The Division was again dis-banded following the end of WorldWar II. In February 1947, theDivision was reactivated as aReserve Division.

In the summer of 1948, theDivision participated in its firstANACDUTRA at Ft. Riley, Kan.From 1949 through 1958 the 85thconducted summer field trainingfor the majority of its units andpersonnel with the anti-aircraftartillery units at Camp McCoy,Wis.

After 12 years as an InfantryDivision, the 85th was redesig-nated a training divisionJune 1959. During the summertraining in 1959 and 1960 atCamp McCoy, the 85th developedits training instructors.

During ANACDUTRA 1961through 1965 the Division putinductees and enlistees throughBCT, AIT and CST.

Repairman Course IncludesColorful Training Equipment

Six weeks of intensive train-ing with heavy engineer equip-ment await men enrolled in theEngineer Equipment RepairmanCourse (EERC).

Each cycle of the 3d Bat-talion course begins with afundamental phase during whichthe students are taught safety,maintenance, and the care anduse of power and hand tools andgas and are welders. Studentsin this phase are introduced tothe Army maintenance system,organizational maintenance, pre-ventive maintenance and shopoperation.

With this basic knowledge themen are ready to learn to carefor engineer equipment duringthe practical exercises whichmake up the bulk of the remain-ing training.

Next comes the largest andmost important phase. The menlearn to care for the huge dieseland gasoline engines which powerengineering equipment. Because

"This is a worthwhile course,It surprises me, too, because atfirst I didn't really want to takeit," said a trainee who recentlycompleted the Leadership portionof the Crane Shovel Skill Develop-ment Base program (SDB).

Some of the men informallyevaluated the leadership trainingbefore continuing with furtherspecialized training in their jobskills-running crane shovelequipment.

Generally the men had onlypraise for the first portion of theSDB training. They commentedThat the instructors knew the sub-

of the complexity of the variousengines and equipment involved,this stage of the course involvesmore elaborate training aids.

Not every concept can be ex-

plained with blackboard sketches,viewgraphs or lectures. In-structors at the course also use

cutaway models of the equipmentto help the students learn faster.

Cutaway aids are used forvarious reasons. One is the timefactor. More rapid understanding

in the classroom means moretime for practical applicationof classroom knowledge.

Another method used is colorcoding-visually separating whatappears to be a confusing mazeof engine parts into a structure)f systems within the engine.The fuel, electrical, lubrication,air and exhaust systems areidentified by different colors.

By following the colors, thestudents learn to read the enginelike a road map, seeing where

jects well, The training aids wereeffective and the tests givenduring the course were fair andcomprehensive.

The trainees did feel, however,that the size of thir particularclass - 42 students - was toolarge, and that the hot summerweather made the classrooms un-comfortable,

Many asked for more coursework. "There should be moreinstruction on leadership andmap reading should be anhour or two longer," said onetrainee.

Classes are frequently held ina large bay area into which theactual working equipment canbe driven, This allows theinstructor to use the morecommon slides, charts and othertraining aids while having theactual items at hand for moreeffective demonstration.

Testing at the course is of apractical nature. The studentsare given mock problems andgraded on their ability to solvethem. In addition, they answerverbal technical questions duringtraining sessions.

the students," he noted."I think the SDB course is good

because It teaches how to getalong with others and have re-spect for their opinions. It showsexactly what an NCO must do andthe proper methods of action,"another said.

Though each case must bedecided individually, the generalprincipal laid down in the O'Cal-lahan decision will apply to allcases-future, present and past.Because just such a wide rang-ing decision was possible, Armylawyers in The Judge AdvocateGeneral's Corps had been deep-ly concerned about the O'Calla-han case.

First, the number of offensestried in civilian courts ratherthat by courts-martial will in-crease. In some cases, punish-ments are likely to be stiffer;in others, more lenient. The de-fendant will be responsible forhis own legal costs in civiliancourt.

Second, cases now in processwhich have no "service connec-tion" must be dropped. In caseswhere service connection is inquestion, a decision will haveto be obtained in court.

MiiSen. Ervin points out that civ-

ilians in most major cases areguaranteed lawyers, and saysthe severity of a bad conductdischarge, which could be-a life-

time punishment, warrants theserviceman similar considera-tion.

Besides affording the accused

greater protection, the law

streamlines trial procedures,making them more like those of

the Federal District Courts.Military judges, for example,

may now hear certain arguments

and motions before the full court

is assembled.

The procedural changes alsogive a defendant the right towaive a trial by jury and havehis case heard by a single judgein much the same way that a civ-ilian can ask for a trial by ajudge in a federal court.

Another important reformgives the serviceman the right

to refuse trial by summarycourt-martial.

Additionally, the numerous re-

view boards have been reduced

to a single Court of MilitaryReview for each service.

The U. S. Supreme Court hasruled that the military cannottry soldiers by court-martialforcrimes which are not "serviceconnected." This means a great-er number of military personnelwill be tried in civilian courtsthan in the past.

The decision was handed downlast month in the case of anArmy sergeant, James F. O'Cal-lahan, convicted by court-mar-tial in 1956 for attempted rape,housebreaking and assault withattempt to rape. The court found,on the sergeant's appeal, thatthere was " no connection-noteven the remotest one-betweenhis military duties and the crimesin question."

The court found the sergeantwas on leave, off post, in civilianclothes when the crime was com-mitted. The person he attackedwas not performing military du-ties. The offenses were com-mitted in peacetime, within ter-ritorial limits of the UnitedStates. Civil courts were open."The offenses," the court alsonoted, "did not involve any ques-tion of the flouting of militaryauthority, the security of a mili-tary post, or the integrity ofmilitary property." Thus, it said,

release, MG Kenneth J. Hodson,the Judge Advocate General, said.If the Army finds a "serviceconnection" and the prisoner dis-agrees, however, the prisonercould begin legal efforts in theFederal courts to seek his re-lease.

At the moment, the exact defin-ition of what makes a crime"service connected" has not beenmade clear. The Army is eyeinga number of cases now beforethe U. S. Court of Military Ap-peals and the Federal districtcourts. Discussion in these casesshould clarify exactly under whatcircumstances the Army has ju-risdiction.

Meantime, MG Hodson has toldcommanders that military juris-diction could be asserted if other-wise appropriate where the of-fense was committed on any mili-tary installation or against amilitary person or governmentproperty; also, where the offend-er was in a duty status at timeof offense, where the offense ispurely military in nature, wherethe offense is committed outsideU. s. territorial jurisdiction, orwhere the offense may harm mili-tary effectiveness.(ARMY DIGEST)

Fair Acquaints Servicemen With Opportunities

LIEUTENANT DALE E. CRITES, right, of the Missouri stateHighway Patrol in Rolla, answers questions for SFC Sidney M.Monroney, Headquarters Detachment, 4th Brigade, at theProject Transition Job Fair.

People in the News.

Project Transition presenteda Job Fair Friday, Aug. 1, atthe Waynesville Senior HighSchool. The Fair was designedto acquaint separating and re-tiring servicemen with oppor-tunities available in private en-terprise.

Representatives of many lo-cal and national business firmswere available to disseminateinformation and answer ques-tions concerning career oppor-tunities. The firms, from suchdiverse areas as iron and steel,rubber, finance, retailing, ma-jor appliances, telephone, ma-chinery, electronics and law en-forcement, explained the type ofoperations they conduct and thetype of jobs to be filled.

The Fair demonstrated thepractical value of the ProjectTransition program at Ft. Leon-ard Wood. Jobs are available,and business needs qualified em-ployees. Transition can help theserviceman acquire these quali-fications.

The Department of Defenseinaugurated the program in Jan-

uary 1968 under the ManpowerDevelopment and Training Act.Transition aims at providing ba-sic educational and occupationaltraining to servicemen who do nothave civilian job skills.

To start the system rolling,a notice is sent to eligible sol-diers about six months prior totheir ETS or retirement, noti-fying them of the opportunity to

enter the program. If in-terested, the soldier contacts theProject Transition office in Bldg.583.

During counseling the appli-cant is queried concerning hiscivilian and military skills thatmay be helpful in selecting anappropriate job opening. The ap-plicant is also advised of localtraining he can receive. A fewon-duty training courses or OJTare available at Ft. LeonardWood. Postal work is one suchexample.

Waynesville Senior HighSchool offers several off-duty vo-cational and technical courses.

The classes, ranging from gen-eral business to auto body re-

pair, are conducted from 6 to10 p.m. daily, Monday throughFriday. Each course consistsof 400 hours of instruction dur-ing a 20-week period. There isno enrollment fee and suppliesfor each course are provided.

More than 200 firms contri-bute to a nationwide job informa-tion file that is kept up to datein the Project Transition office.Once the applicant is ready toseek a position, he is advised onpreparing and submitting a resu-me of his qualifications and back-ground.

Project Transition is wide-spread. The program is avail-able at some 270 military bases,More than 53,000 servicemenhave completed course training.Transition offered 700 industrycourses, 610 base-sponsoredOJT courses, and 320 govern-ment agency courses as of March31, 1969.
