Closer to 1984 ============== To the Editor of The Jerusalem Post: Sir, -- I would like to bring to the attention of your readers the latest unofficial tactic used by the army in dealing with soldiers who, by reason of conscience, refuse to serve in Lebanon. Before being tried and sent to prison, many soldiers are now obliged to visit the army psychiatrist in order to establish their sanity. Knowledge of this amazing fact was given to me by such a doctor who had "treated" some of them, unsuccessfully of course. We are now just one step closer to 1984. Incidentally, the medical officer mentioned above has himself just now become a "refusenik." Richard Easton Kibbutz Kfar Hanassi. Yigal Arens UC Berkeley
