3 Kennedy sidesteps
> 1 stop Carter issue

NEW YORK 1PT- Sen. Edward
Kennedy sidestepped a question
of whether he was leading a
stop-Carter movement and said
yesterday he expects the Demo-
cratic presidential nominee to
emerge from the primaries.
The Massachusetts senator an-
swered, "Yes, I could," when
asked if he could support Jim-
my Carter if the former Georgia
governor won the nomination.
KENNEDY spoke to reporters
at a hotel, where he went with
his mother, Rose, to receive the
father of the year award of the
National Father's Day Commit-
tee.
"I cannot stop any specula-
tion," Kennedy said when asked
if he was leading a stop-Carter
move. The question arose after
the New York Post reported this
was Kennedy's real intention in
dropping a hint-later denied-
AP Photo that he was available for a draft
or for the second place on a
ticket headed by Sen. Hubert

Itmphrey of Minnesota.
"I've stated my position over
a year ags 1and my position is
unchanged. And I suppose there
will contine to be speculation
until the fi-al vote is taken at
the Demsoc-tic convention...,"
Kennedy sit . "I believe in the
primary pr5ess and I don't
think that while Carter has
achieved a very sthstantial suc-
cess that thi sought to silence
other members of the Demo-
cratic party that are running in
the rem-ini g primaries.

WASHINGTON 01'i-A Marine
private told congressmen yester-
day that drill instructors hit
him, threatened him and that
one hit his car before another
shot him through the hand.
Pvt. Harry Hiscock, 25, his
misshaped hand in his lap, told
his story to the House military
personnel subcommittee investi-
gating cases of Marine training
abuse. His mother sat nearby,
at times close to tears.
A DRILL instructor, Sgt. Rob-
ert Henson, 26, has pleaded
guilty at a court-marital to
shooting Hiscock accidentally,
saying he meant only to frighten
the recruit. Henson was given a
bad conduct discharge.
Hiscock testified: "He tried
to kill me twice. The first time
something went wrong and the
rifle did not fire. The second
time he got some cartridges and
poured powder out so there was
just a little bit and then fired."
Outside the hearing room His-
cock said that in the first case
he saw Henson point the rifle at
him but had only the word of
other Marines that the drill in-
structor had pulled the trigger.
HE SAID both incidents at a
Parris Island, S.C., firing range
last January came after hazing
by drill instructors because he
bud come in last in a firing ex-
ercise.
Before that, Henson had slam-
med bim down on a table and
threatened to kill him, bHiscock
testified. He said later when he
was unable to keep in step
marching another sergeant bit
him on the ear.
Hiscock said at the beginning
of his testimony that he has a
coordination problem, is slow
and might appear to drill in-
structors not to- respond quickly
to orders.
BUT HE SAID that although
he does not know why Henson
abused him he does not believe

it was because of his lack of
coordination.
"It could have been he was
frustrated," Iliscock testified,
"and it became a game because
he could not break me down
mentally as he might be able to
with a younger recruit."
Hiscock responded quickly and
at ease to the congressmen's
questioning, and Chairman Lu-
cien Nedzi (D-Mich.) thanked
him at the end for his "articu-
late testimony."
abused him he does not believe
THE SUBCOMMITTEE pur-
sued with another witness an
allegation that some training
abuses may be caused by re-
cruitment of a large number of
mentally and physically defi-
cient men for an all-volunteer
force.
The witness was Ronald Ban-
nister, 17, of Mill Valley, Calif.,
accompanied by an uncle, Pres-
ton Bannister, who said the for-
mer Marine recruit had "a
learning problem."
The younger Bannister testi-
fied that he slit his wrists in an
effort to commit suicide after
other recruits in San Diego beat
him and drill instructors called
him crazy, particularly one time
when he was unable to get cof-
fee for them.
"It made me feel very ptt
down, like dirt," Bannister said.
