"This type of situation has
not come to our attention before. The usual reason for cancellation of a commission is inaptitude which may involve lack
of leadership or some other comparable problem," the Pentagon
spokesman said.
He went on to say that a
"board of officers" on the college campus must recommend
the cancellation to make it
official. All recommendations of
this type are reviewed by the
Department of the Army in Washington.
If cancellation of Pratt's commission is approved, he would
be the first known ROTC student in the country to have a
commission canceled because of
his public protest of the Vietnam War. ROTC students on
other campuses have affiliated

World War II.

One country like the United
States cannot determine t lie political development of another by
outside force, like Vietnam, he
said, calling this the fallacy of
American foreign policy.
The forum was sponsored as
part of the Student Center Hoard
Sound Off series. It had been
postponed from Friday because
of rain, but Monday's weather
was far from pleasant. Over all,
neither the temperature nor the
weather was heated. A crowd of
about 60 stayed most of the two
hours. Nearly 120 dropped by.
Other faculty members participating included Dr. Raymond
Wilkie, professor of education;
and Dr. Lawrence Tarpey of the
college of Commerce. The Rev.
T. Douglas Sanders of the Presbyterian Student Center also
spoke.
Dr. Ak in Magid, professor of
political science, said the war was
a reflection of the belief that
this country has "a historical
mission to police and proselytize
our neighbors."
"We have chosen to pursue a
holy war based on the dangerously naive attitude that communism is a monolitic evil," he

said.

Dr. Magid added that our
policy is inconsistent and hypocritical. "It weds us to intrenched
conservative interests. Marshal
Ky (premier of South Vietnam)
and his cohorts were flunkies during the Viet Minh war and we

have been unable to persuade
them to accomplish promised
land reforms."

Pentagon report released
earlier this year stated that association with dissident groups
could endanger a student's
chances of getting a commission
upon graduation.
Some cadets at the University
of Washington in Seattle recently
began to collect information on
some of these organizations, officials in the Pentagon said. The
senior ROTC instructor at the
university asked them to cease
the activity.
The source close to Pratt said
that Col. Howard C. Parker, director of the Army ROTC program at the University, called
Pratt into his office about two
weeks ago to "talk with him
about his public peace vigil activities."
Col. Parker reportedly told
Pratt that the President (of the
U.S.) is the commander-in-chie- f
and the military supports him
in not publicly protesting the
A

wait and make the decision on
where he stood when the time
came.

The time apparently came but
Pratt was going through with
his commitment until Col. Parker
called hm into his office for
final discussions on the matter.
The source said that at no
time did Col. Parker threaten
to withdraw Pratt's commission
if he did not cease his peace
vigil activities. "It was purely
an agreement between the two.
The only issue involved here is
the military's suppression of free
speech and opposition and Col.
Parker can only take orders from
the Pentagon on that," the source
concluded.
Pratt was recently involved
in the heated controversy over
the recruitment of Negro athletes
at Kentucky. Pratt had stated
that a member of the Student
Coordinating Committee told him that
basketball star Lou Alcindor had
advised Jim McDaniels, the much

sought after high school basketball star from Kentucky, not to
play college ball for the University.

Pratt is a member of the University Christian Movement, the
University Campus Christian
Fellowship, and is Convenner
of the local group called the.
Citizens for Peace in Vietnam.
All three organizations have
expressed opposition to the Vietnam War, but none is on the
Attorney General's list of subversive groups.
Col. Parker is on a junior
ROTC inspection tour inOwens-bor- o
and Louisville and was not
immediately available for comment. A statement is expected
upon his return Thursday night.

It was originally reported that

Maj. Bruce Martin, also of the
ROTC program, was present
when Pratt and Col. Parker made
the agreement. However, Maj.
Martin said today he had no
comment on the incident or his
presence at the meeting.

policies he sets forth.

Pratt then stated, the source
said, that he felt a necessity
to participate in the peace vigils.
Pratt has been a member of the
weekly vigils since the formation of the campus group called
the Citizens for Peace In Vietmid-Marc- h.

Pratt and Col. Parker reportedly agreed on the final decision to ask for the cancellation
of the commission last Wednesday, April 14, when Col. Parker
called Pratt into his office the
second time.
The University senior had previously told friends that he had
initiated discussions with former
Army ROTC director Col. James
P. Alcorn (now assistant to President Oswald) in the 1965-6- 6 academic year.
The discussions were said to
have pertained to Pratt's "beliefs and convictions on kill-- ,
ing and violence." The source
said Col. Alcorn told Pratt to

against bases for
Mig jet interceptors, and it
marked a new stage in the widening air war.
The raids, seen as part of increasing American efforts to force
North Vietnam to the bargaining table, had been anticipated
since the bombing only four days
ago of a thermal power plant in
the center of Haipong.
But unlike the Haiphong
raid which was clearly, if reluctantly labelled an escalation
in the war by American officials
Monday's attack was described
by military spokesmen as a "limited response to increased Mig
activity in the last few days a
very limited response."
A U.S. military spokesman
said "the number of aircraft, the
type of ordnance and the nature
of the targets on the bases all
indicate a limited response" in
the raids against Hoalac airfield,
19 miles west of Hanoi and Kep
airfield, 37 miles northwest of the
North Vietnamese capital.
"This is not escalation," the
spokesman' added, "but simply a
continuation of hitting selected
military targets."
Nevertheless, a high American civilian official said:
"We've been laying off hitting
the Mig fields because of the
possibility the North Vietnamese
would shift the Migs to bases
inside China. If they flew out
of Chinese bases we'd be faced
by a pursuit problem."

In touching upon the birth
control issue, Archbishop ()' Boyle
said that in Father Curran's case,
"as with every appointment to a
teaching position in Catholic
schools, statements in the field
of doctrine are subject finally to
the teaching authority of the

Church."
The archbishop said the trustees had granted the theology
faculty's request for a meeting
with their representatives "to
clarify the issues involved" in
present procedures for renewing
appointments.
The faculty had complained
not only that Father Curran was
dismissed for unspecified reasons
but also that he was not given a
hearing.
The archbishop did not elaborate on his allusion to "further
information" received by the trustees since their April 10 meeting.
Faculty sources, as a possible explanation, called attention to reports that some of the trustees
had been unawareof a decision by

the university's academic senate
to promote Father Curran an appointment as associate professor.
The usual procedure is for such
an appointment, once approved

university's chief administrative
officer, told the cheering students:
"Since the lxard of trustees

increased service competition in
the Lexington

All of these advances were
predicated in Dr. Masten's sworn
testimony during the first court
hearings in 1962.
It is little wonder that Dr.
Masten was chosen by both the
Justice Department and the defending banks. The Cleveland
branch of the Federal Reserve
has often used him as a monetary consultant.
Dr. Masten will advance to
a teaching tM)sition at the University of Ceorgia next fall. In
addition he will be Educational
