RESUME OF CASE:

On 20 February 1997, the AFBCMR considered and denied applicant’s above
request.  A complete copy of the Record of Proceeding  is  attached  at
Exhibit C.

In support of his request for  reconsideration,  applicant  provided  a
letter with attachments detailing his post-service activities  (Exhibit
D).   Pursuant  to  the  Board’s  request,  the   Federal   Bureau   of
Investigation, Clarksburg, WV, indicated on 29 December 2000, that,  on
the basis of data furnished, they  were  unable  to  locate  an  arrest
record (Exhibit E)

_______________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

Sufficient relevant evidence  has  been  presented  to  demonstrate  the
existence of probable error or injustice.  After reviewing the documents
submitted  by  the  applicant,  the  Board  was   impressed   with   his
considerable post-service achievements.  They also noted  the  favorable
FBI report and the length of time that has passed, over 48 years,  since
the applicant was discharged.  After weighing all factors, a majority of
the Board felt that the applicant should be  granted  clemency  and  his
discharge upgraded to honorable.  Therefore, a  majority  of  the  Board
recommends that the applicant’s record be corrected as indicated below.

_______________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that on 1 October 1952,
he was honorably discharged and  furnished  a  Honorable  Discharge
certificate.
