Sam J. Ervin Says:
WASHINGTON Con
gress has recently been
considering the problems
of imlitary justice and re
forms offered to remedy
some of its weaknesses. It
may'come as a surprise to
many Americans, but the
separate branches of our
armed forces have varying
rules governing the right
to a defense lawyer before
special courts-martial, the
intermediate military trib
unals.
Although a serviceman
can suffer dire conse
quences. even a bad con
duct discharge, a non-law
yer’ Officer may and typic
ally": does conduct his de
fense at most of these pro
ceedings. His right to
have a lawyer conduct his
defense may turn upon the
branch of service he is in
rather than the particular
offense he is charged with.
The non-lawyer may do
his best for the defendant
at the trial, but even so
the defendant is often the
loser under the system.
To remedy this and other
problems of military Jus
tice, I introduced, after
many years of study the

Hobbs Implement Co., Inc.
EUKVTOV N r "Your John Deere Dealer” GW C. HOBBS, Mgr.
committee, S. 2009, on June
26, 1967. The measure,
called the proposed Mili
tary Justice Act, is a pro
duct of much painstaking
work by the subcommittee.
Its five sections would go
far toward remedying
many of the military jus
tice concerns which have
come to the attention of
Congress in the last de
cade. One of the bill’s
key provisions would pro
vide defendants with law
yer. counsel at special
courts - martial regardless
of the penally involved.
There are immense dif
ficulties in th ; s field. The
primary purpcse of the
military force is to defend
the security and independ
ence of our nation. For
this reason, the act seeks
to avoid stifling the mili
tary with inflexible legis
lation while still giving
servicemen rights compar
able to those afforded to
civilians under applicable
slate and federal laws. The
proposed act which I have
introduced seeks to recog
nize both of these obliga
tions.
Last June, the House of
Representatives approved a
■ THE CHOWAN HKEALD, EDENTON, NOETH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1962
■ bill that weald at least re
, quire a lawyer for the de
fense in all cases involv
ing a bad conduct dis
charge. This House bill is
really not an acceptable
substitute for the reforms
sought to be accomplished
by my bill, because it
does not deal at all with
the acutely deficient area
of administrative dis
charge proceedings and it
does not make any changes
in the military appellate
structure.
The Senate Armed Ser
vices Committee has been
considering the House
approved bill. Since this
is the measure under con
sideration by the commit
tee, 1 have submitted a
’ number of amendments to
it to incorporate the most
pressing reforms of S.
2009.
Two of these amend
ments would provide for
legally qualified defense
counsel in all special
courts - martial tribunals
and for a presiding mili
tary Judge in any tribunal
authorized to impose a bad
conduct discharge. At
present lawyer-counsel and
presiding “law officers”
I are required only in gen
eral courts - martial, the
highest military trial
courts.
Congress dealt with this
problem in comprehensive J
legislation in 1950, and it |
should do so again »o |
clarify and remedy some j
of the situations which I
have arisen since that 1
time.
