Antiwar reservists to file lawsuit Monday
WASHINGTON (UPI) — An organization of antiwar reservists and National Guardsmen plan to file a lawsuit Monday asking the Defense Department to expel 122 congressmen from the Reserves and the National Guard.
The Reservists Committee to Stop the War claims it is unconstitutional for a member of Congress to hold any position in the military, citing conflict of interest and divided loyalty.
Their Washington attorney, William Dobrovir, said he would file the suit in U.S. District Court here against Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird and the secretaries of the Army, Navy and the Air Force.
An announcement by the group said that two former reserve major generals, Senators Barry M. Goldwater (R-Ariz.) and Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.), "tend to be hawks on Vietnam in military issues."
Among other senators with retired or other status in reserve
units are: Republicans Hiram Fong of Hawaii, Jack Miller of Iowa, Charles Mathias Jr. of Maryland and Howard Baker of Tennessee, and Democrats Howard Cannon of Nevada, Frank Moss of Utah and Harry F. Byrd Jr. of Virginia.
Sen. J. Caleb Boggs (R-Del.) is a retired brigadier general in the Delaware National Guard.
Among House members with reserve status are Rep. Robert L. F. Siles (D-Fla.). a retired major general in the Army Reserve and a ranking member of the Defense Appropriations Committee, and three members of the House Armed Services Committee: Representatives Samuel S. Stratton (D-N.Y.), Robert T. Stafford (R-Vt.) and William S. Maillard (R-Calif.).
"A reservist congressman has split loyalties, as a legislator to the voters; as a military officer to his commanders in the Pentagon," the Reservists claimed.
KU freshman arrested in connection with fires
A University of Kansas freshman was arrested Friday on a first-degree arson charge in connection with two fire bombings in the house in which he lived.
Matthew John Baumann, Atchison freshman who told officers his name was Mitchell Baumann, reported both fires which have been under investigation by city, county and state officials since the first fire bombing, which occurred about 11:23 p.m. April 23.
The second bombing occurred at 12:31 a.m. April 24 on the second floor of the two-and-a-half-story frame house.
A preliminary hearing for
Baumann has been set for 11 a.m.
May 18. He remains in the
Douglas County jail with bond
set at $50,000.
Baumann reported both bombings to the Lawrence Fire Department and was the only one in the home when the incident occurred. Damage in the first fire was estimated at $300. In connection with that fire was found a glass container which formerly contained a flammable liquid.
The other fire broke out at the head of the stairs, but no evidence of its source has been found.
