Neubcrger Sees Court Martial in
Haircut Case Absured and Petty'
Washington IW Sen. Rich
ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) took
the floor of a civil rights-conscious
Senate today and struck
blow for freedom of haircuts.
The itenator called the court
martialing of an airman for re
fusing to get a "white sidewall"
haircut "absurd, petty . . . friv
olous, cavalier, humiliating"
and s prime way to cut Air
Force enlistments.
There is no better way to
drive self-respecting enlisted
men out of the service than to
discipline a man because he does
not want his hair cut "according
to the absurd specifications" of
his unit commander, Neubcrger
said.
"Do we want robots in the
armed services or men of initia
tive and independence?" asked
the senator.
"This whole incident smacks
of the old goose-stepping Prus
sian army of Von Moltke and
not of the citizen army of a free
and democratic republic," he
said.
He advocated punishment for
the "blundering and discipline
obsessed superiors" of the air
man, rather than for the man
himself.

Other members of Congress
ridiculed the case, but the Pen
tagon's boss barber expressed
no surprise.
An Air Force court martial
Monday at Fuchu, Japan, con
victed Airman 3C Donald Wheel
er, Cortez, Colo., of refusing to
obey an order to get a "white
wall" trim when he was assigned
to the honor guard at the U. N.
Far East Command Headquart
ers in Tokyo.
Three members of the House
Armed Services Committee
sharply criticized the Air Force.
Rep. Melv:n Price (D-Ill.) said
the Air Force looked "ridicu
lous" and was giving people "a
bad picture of military disci
pline." He said both the Air
Force and Wheeler carried the
whole affair too far.
Rep. William G. Bray (R-Ind.)
a veteran of 32 years in the
Army and reserves, said the
haircut order looked unreason
able to him. He said if unit com
manders can specify what kind
of haircuts their men must have
soon they will order heads
shaved or "Mohican haircuts"
shaved scalps except for a strip
of hair down the middle,
Pentagon Opinion
Rep. Clyde Doyle (D-Calif)
huffed at the Air Force: "How
ridiculous can you get?"
But Rep. James E. Van Zandt
(R-Pa.), another Armed Services
Committee member, stuck up
for the Air Force.
"As a veteran I know that
unless you have discipline you
aren't going to have a military
worth a damn," he said.
Joseph Abbate, manager of the
Pentagon barber shop, said the
Wheeler case was nothing new.
He said when he was a barber at
Ft. Myer, Va., from 1929 to 1943
both the late Gens. Jonathan
Wainwright and George S. Pat
ton were sticklers about hair
cuts. He said corporals would per
sonally escort rookies to the
barber chair and stand over
them to make 'certain their hair
was cut to suit the generals.
Once, Abbate said, one man
with Rudolph Valentino side
burns refused to have them re
moved. "In the brig for two months,"
he said, shrugging his shoulders.
