European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - April 5, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 2 the stars and stripes saturday april 5, 1986 military court upholds non fraternization proper relationships. Vital to discipline by Chuck Vinch Washington Bureau Washington attitudes about military fraternization May have relaxed in recent years but there Are still Clear Cut instances where officers and enlisted personnel should t mix the . Court of military appeals has ruled. One such situation arises when the offi cer is a member of a training cadre and the enlisted person is a trainee said chief jus Tice Robinson o. Everett. The court upheld charges against army 2nd it. Orlando a. Adames who was convicted by general court martial of commit Ting indecent lewd and lascivious acts with women soldiers and wrongful fraternization with women soldiers. Adames was sentenced to be dismissed from the service. He had been assigned to the training cadre at fort Benjamin Harrison ind., As executive officer of a company of men and women soldiers undergoing advanced individual training. The offence took place May 8, 1982, be fore and during a party held by another member of the training cadre at a local hotel. Trainees also attended. Court documents say Adames asked two women trainees to accompany him to the party and followed a third into a restroom where he fondled her. In rendering his opinion Everett said proper relationships Between superiors and subordinates Are vital to discipline in the armed forces. Where the subordinates Are trainees the army has an enhanced  he said that since trainees usually have limited military experience and Are subject to very intensive supervision and control by their superiors they Are vulnerable to superiors who May want to take unfair advantage of them. Such conduct by the superiors diminishes the respect with which they Are viewed by the trainees a respect Essen tial for fostering discipline Everett wrote. Everett said Adames was guilty of Violat ing article 134 of the uniform code of military Justice which prohibits fraternization when such conduct might affect Good order and discipline in the armed  " Adames attendance at this party with the female trainees even though off Post was contrary to the maintenance of Good order and discipline at the training installation Everett wrote. No other officer was present and the party apparently featured sexual promiscuity and alcoholic beverages so Adames should not have been there. Moreover he should not have been indicating sexual in Terest to some of the trainees because by reason of his position in their training com Pany they might have Felt under compulsion to yield to his  Adames argued that attending the party was simple fraternization and should not have been the subject of a criminal prosecution. He said there is no military custom prohibiting social fraternization Between offi cers and enlisted personnel and that certain relationships Between officers and enlisted persons although once absolutely forbid Den Are now allowed. He claimed that this relaxation in Cus Tom together with lax enforcement of punishment for fraternization violations meant that he should not have been prosecuted for his conduct because he was not aware that it was illegal. Adames apparently based his argument on a 1983 air Force court of military re View ruling that said there is no custom of the service that prohibits social activities even sexual Intercourse Between offi cers and enlisted personnel. The defendant in that Case was innocent of wrongful fraternization. Since no prohibiting custom existed in the air Force the court ruled he had been denied Constitution ally required notice that his intended con duct was illegal. But Everett said the key was that the defendant in the air Force Case fraternize with women who were not assigned As sub ordinates under his command. Everett said officers assigned to training installations should be aware that their social contacts with trainees Are subject to restrictions. Because the actual and clearly Predicta ble Impact of Adames conduct on the discipline and morale of the unit was and verse he was guilty of violating article 134," Everett wrote. Model .

They discussed and de bated issues proposed resolutions in various committees and then brought the resolutions to the general Assembly where delegates grappled with them once again be fore final votes were taken. Many of the debates lasted so Long that the general Assembly was not Able to act on All the resolutions before it. Some significant ones including a Means of establish ing peace in the Middle East were left unresolved.
