U.S. TROOPS’ MORALITY
GENERAL’S DEFENCE CHARGES TO BE PROBED (10 a.m.) LONDON. March 5. By and large the Americans in Germany were not immoral and indecent, said General Miller White, deputy Chief of Staff of the United States Headquarters, discussing the charges that German girls were spending nights within the United States headquarters compound. The Associated Press correspondent at Frankfurt reports that General White said he resented such implications, and added that the army would probably investigate the charges immediately. General White said: “There is no regulation to stop a man from entertaining a girl overnight in his quarters, but if we find flagrant cases of unbecoming conduct we can take action.” The correspondent says that senior staff officers stated unofficially that there are “probably dozens of women spending nights within the compound.’’
