Army Discipline
Methods Explained
Lt. Col. Earl Bradfield spoke
to the Hollywood Lions club
Wednesday noon about methods
of administering discipline in
the army. He entered the army
as a lawyer and has served
five years with the judge ad
vocate department, and is now
associated with his father in
the lumber business in Salem.
All discipline he said must
start in the squad, and is best
explained as "esprit de corps."
Rulings of all types come from
the articles of war which are
statutes enacted by congress un
der authority of the constitu
tion. In outlining the many steps
taken in official procedure he
showed that every precaution is
used to safeguard the accused
from false and prejudiced evi
dence, while making sure that
proper discipline is maintained.
