(P) - A bloody battle between
white and negro soldiers burst
violently in the darkness Of this
army post last night, leaving
three shot to death and five
wounded.

GERS warning shot over the head
of fleeing negro soldier loosed
a fusillade of more than so bull
lets in the brief but bitter fight
which Major Aage Woldike
termed "the first manifestation
of any i'll feeling among races

One of the negroes, Major
Woldike said, scuffled with a
white military policeman, at
tempting to seize the latter's pis-
toll when the M. p. sought to
break up the argument over use
of the telephone.
MINOR ORIGIN
The battle, termed by Major
Woldike, post public relations
officer, the first manifestation
of any ill-feeling among differ
ent races at the post" flared
from a dispute in a nearby
amusement center over a next"
on telephone.
Negro and white soldiers had
gathered as before in the Wal

munity of Pointville on the edge
of the post, Major Woldike re-
counted, when a scuffle occur
red among soldiers waiting in
line to use the phone. The place
contains a bar, a lunch counter,
amusement and bowling alleys.
Major Woldike described the
ensuing events:
An M. =. stationed at the
place attempted TO halt the ar
gument and had words with a
negro soldier who lunged for
the M. P.'s pistol, ripping the
holster, but failing to grasp the
weapon. The negro ran outside
and the M. P..fired a shot after
ordering him TO halt.
FUSHLADE OF SHOTS
This brought forth a fusillade
from the barracks across the
roadway from the amusement
center.

than so bullets were fired be-
fore the shooting ended.

Charles the Simple, son of Louis

of books, rather a rare distinction
in his day. He inherited the liz

some 900, about all there were then.
