Gladwin Hill

In Korea, for the first time, the Communists used brain-washing as a military weapon. Our authorities were unprepared for the resulting demoralization of officers and men, and in a series of uncoördinated courts-martial our Army. Air Force, and Marines have meted out punishment ranging from honorable discharge to twenty years imprisonment. Tn the article that follows, GLADWIN HILL, Chief of the New York Times Bureau in Los Angeles, traces the course of such erratic justice.

A long and energetic newspaper career in this country and overseas afforded GLADWIN HILL opportunities to scrutinize many varied systems of public education as they affected his own family and the communities where the Hills lived. As an undergraduate, Mr. Hill was Harvard correspondent for the Boston Evening Transcript, and continued as a reporter for that paper before joining the Associated Press in New York. He covered World War II in Europe, and for the past eight years has been chief of the New York Times Bureau in Los Angeles.
