 'LEGLESS VETERAN' - New York Times
Howard Petrick's ''The Case of the Legless Veteran'' is yet another horror story about the post-World War II political persecutions in this country prompted by the so-called ''red scare.'' The victim this time is James Kutcher, an Army veteran who had lost both his legs at the Battle of San Pietro.
Kutcher was discharged from his $36-a-week job as a Veterans Administration file clerk because of his membership in the Socialist Workers Party, to which he had belonged since 1938 and which had recently been put on the United States Attorney General's list of subversive organizations.
''The Case of the Legless Veteran'' is best when it approaches its subject directly, listening to his testimony and that of the others interviewed, all of which is put into context by the straightforward use of newsreel clips.
