Soldier Refuses
To Bear Arms
Camp Roberts, Calif., Feb. 7 'IP
Pvt. Henry P. Weber, former
Vancouver, Wash., shipyard work
er. under sentence of death for re-
fusing an officer's order to drill
told a reporter today he was "will
ine to do anything to get the war
over, as long as I do not huve to
kill other people."
.Revealing he had been court
' martialed and sentenced to six
months hard labor for a similar
offense previously, Weber said lie
had asKea army auinonues in
vain for a transfer to non-com
batant duty three or four days
before he refused to drill here. A
general court martial last Friday
sentenced Weber to be nangea
for wilful disobedience -of an of
ficer.
Revolutionary Mind
"I have a revolutionary mind,"
said Weber, a member of the
ultra-left wing socialist labor
party. "Wars are caused by the
society In which we now live. 1 hat
society can't prevent a third
world war.
"I am interested in a world in
which all men can live peaceably,
but to be a good soldier you have
to learn to hate and kill, and I do
not feel it is right to kill other
people.
"With a revolutionary mind you
cannot hate and kill." Weber said
the socialist-labor party aimed at
peaceful revolution.
Case Investigated
Meanwhile, Ernest Besig, San
'Francisco director of the Amer
ican Civil Liberties union, an
nounced the organization is in
vestigating the case.
"Weber's looks like a plain case
of erroneous induction into com
bat service," Besig said, "and our
records show that the army in
stead of hanging men In such
cases has actually given them
honorable discharges."
The death sentence must be re
viewed by the gerferal officer
with court martial jurisdiction
and finally by President Roosevelt.
