I clas. fy the flag as a symbol not requ’ ing Tespect according to my re- ligions.”” ‘The soldier’s father Dwight Wal- lace said later his son was only “woolgathering’’ when he should have been saluting. | In .his sworn statement of Dec. | 6, Wallace denied he had said his’ Army service lessened his respect for the country and was unneces-| sary. “‘As long as I was drafted I felt the duty to serve when called,” he said. “I saw the Army as a practical necessity “To me the flag is a symbol| end I feel my beliefs in ‘the Amer- ican way of life’ directly. And I feel so with or without a flag. “T respect the flag as 1 would a crucifix.” | Wallace said bis training in the | Presbyterian and Unitarian churches discouraged respect for | symbols. | Legal experts at 2nd Army head- | quarters at Ft. Meade advised | Gen. Burns there was no case against Wallace for failure to sa- lute. since “he actually intended ne disloyalty or disaffection among the troops.” | They suggested he might be tried by a special court-martial on a eharge of actions “prejudicial to the good order and discipline of the armed forces” because of the “real feelings’ he expressed to his livtenant. Conviction could carry a sentence of confinement for three to six months with loss of pay. | The 2nd Army also suggested it could be handled by some “lesser action,” like ‘‘company punish-| ment.” It usually means a repri- mand and restriction to the post! for a week or so. Key Westers Warned Of Phony Canvassers An official of the Watchtower Society today cautioned Key West- ers to beware of a fraudulent cam- Paign to raise funds using the name of that group. Said Rosam: “This is to advise the public, | both residential and business, that it has been called to my attention that people are soliciting funds in the name of the Watchtower So- ciety for the building of a youth center. Please do not contribute to anyone claiming to represent the Watchtower Society as one of Jehavah’s Witnesses because we do not solicit contributions for any purpose of any kind.” DEATHS MRS.
