SAYS TRAITORS HAVE
RIGHT TO INVOKE 5TH
To The Editor:
I am astonished by the short
shrift you gave the Fifth Amend
ment to the Constitution and feel
that you as many others have
been greviously misled as to what
makes democracy tick.
The viability of any concept is
not tested by its theoretical sound
ness but rather by its practical
ramifications and by the practi
cal results of the application of
similar concepts. There is noth
ing theoretically wrong with the
concept of a benevolent dictator
we cringe before the thought
because we know that power cor
rupts not theoretically but
practically. Likewise there is noth
ing theoretically wrong with the
idea of suspending such a civil
right as is contained in the Fifth
Amendment in cases involving su
spicion of disloyalty or subver
sion. But it opens the door to
os of a
abuses which while uncommon in
this country are fantastically com
monplace practically everywhere
in the world where the principle
embodied in the Fifth Amendment
is not upheld.
I can only suggest that you have
forgotten our most basic legal
premise—that no man has to tes
tify against himself. Do you feel
that a Communist is so much
cleverer than say the FBI that
our present evidence-gathering
methods are futile? Our democ
racy has quite adequate means of
obtaining the evidence necessary
to convict a man with or without
his confession.

is in answer to a recent SENTI
NEL editorial adducing the argu
ment that since traitors are not
free to undermine the Constitution

they should not be free to engage

voking the Fifth Amendment.)

4th AD Private
Currently serving as assistant
clerk of Co. 25th Reconnaisance
Bn. Private Gruber is vexed with
the problem of the two Armies
the Swiss Army and our own
United States Army.
Swiss Tour
Born in Switzerland and a resi
dent there until 1951 he automati
cally became a member of the
Swiss Army when he turned 18.
And he has been serving in the
United States Army since he was
inducted last February.
"I'm excused from Swiss train
ing while in this country" he said
"and after I get my American
citizenship next month in Waco
I'll be serving in this Army only."
The problem could get compli
cated again if Private Gruber ever
returns to Switzerland after re
ceiving U.S. citizenship for that
country still holds to the feudal
"dual citizenship" policy. Though
a naturalized citizen of this coun
try Swiss law could still claim
him as a citizen.
"Contrary to what most Ameri
cans believe the training in both
Armies is very much alike" he
said. "Just because Switzerland is
mountainous people think we train
by climbing mountains and fight
ing on peaks. Actually we do most
of our training in the valleys.
All Soldiers
"Every man in the Swiss Army
from 18 to 60 is a soldier and we
keep our rifles and equipment in
our homes" he continued. "That
way in case of war it would only
take a day to mobilize our entire
forces."
Born in the tourist city of Vevey

HOW DO YOU serve in two armies at the same time? That prob
lem will be settled next month when Pvt. Andrew Gruber former
ly of Switzerland and now of New York City takes his American
citizenship tests in Waco. All Swiss men serve in the army from
the time they are 18 to 60 so Private Gruber is still listed on the
Swiss Army rolls no matter whose army he is serving in. He is
currently assigned as assistant clerk of Co. of the 25th R«con-
naisance Bn. 4th Armored Division. (U. S. Army Photo)

Consider the plight of the 4th
Armored Division's Pvt. Andrew
Gruber who's serving in two
armies at the same time.
try and Switzerland. He original^
came to America with his famij
in 1940 but returned to Zuric^
after he graduated from King
School in Stamford Conn. in 1948.
He attended the University of
Zurich where he received credit
for a Bachelor of Arts and then
returned to America in 1951. He
entered Columbia University where
he met his wife Deloris and was
working part time on his Masters
Degree when he entered the Serv
ice.
Avid Skier
He is an amateur skiing enthus
iast and mountain climber but he
calims he has been limited by the
lack of mountains in America.
"Skiing and mountain climbing
in Switzerland are like baseball
and football in this country" he
said. "Every summer and winter
my father and I used to spend a
week or so living in the open and
climbing and skiing."
His education has been a defi
nite advantage for him for he
speaks French German and Ital
ian in addition to his letter-perfect
English. He learned much of his
French and 11 a lia traveling
through France and Italy on sum
mer bicycling trips.
He currently calls his wife's ad
dress 173 West 88th Street in
New York as his hometown ad
dress although his parents Mr.
and Mrs. Max Gruber are living
in New Canaan Conn.
Private Gruber isn't much wi
ried about the "two army" pro
lem any more not with his citizen
ship test coming up next month.
His only problem now is brushing
up on his American history.
