Mat another leg.i! sting develops e: tin whole issue. Since Col. Guy filed his charges three soldiers have been honorably dis-- . barged from the Army ami, say Pentagon lawyers, they can't tie tried under military law. Mutiny is a military crime and has no equivalent in civil law. If those three can't be charged and tried is it fair to try those men who are x:!l in the service? It doesn't appear to be. Then the issue of possible double jeopardy is raised. While the original eight were never brought to trial, the mere fact they wen charged in connection with their conduct while prisoners of war and those charges found wanting casts doubt upon the legality of Maj. Leonard's essential repetition of tin allegations. Lastly, in consideration of the more or less announced Pentagon policy of declining to charge the former POWs. Maj. Leonard's mission faces numerous roadblocks the main one being the inevitable reluctance of the Army and Navy to do a course change alter previously dismissing similar charges against the enlisted men Leonard Jr. F.dward think his charges again'! seven soldier' and Marines aie any mole valid than thus' t iy V Col Theodore Vfter alt. t oh OU charged the same scumi men plus a Marine sergeant, with similar crime.'
