THAT 9TH STREET NEAR RIOT :.
NOTE: This paper has just been informed that
reorganization of the Military Police is being made
to weed out those guilty of any brutality.

Due to good job of work by the Negro police officers
who patrol Ninth Street area, in freeing the civilian pub
lie Of intererences during misunderstanding built around
members of the military forces serious trouble was avered
Saturday night The areup ended in what the daily press
labeled riot and sent several soldiers to local hospitals for
medical attention.
The fareup among the soldiers and military police
could have been very easily prevented if the Military Police
had been trained to exercise judgment instead OF clubs For
it the MPs bullying with their clubs linked with auth
orty that overwhelmed their judgment who were mstga-
tors of the trouble This in way leaves the soldiers en-
trely guess of unbecong conduct but when these
taken from civilian life and indicted into the armed
services their training included protecting themselves
from enemies and Saturday nights fareup proved
cusivey that the Military Police their enemies leav
ing them other alternative
From the viewpoint of eye witness to Saturday
nights fareup the affair is not settled long the
soldiers poced by military police who give their orders
by wrapping billy around the soldiers heads for to ask
these to forgive and forget would be adding insult
to their injuries
Our community has indications of being peaceful one
and those of who have something at stake would like to
keep it that way but unless something is done by the mill
tary authorities to avert another Saturday
nights not too that something drastic
will not happen, for sympathy generally towards the
under dog and next tme the soldiers may get coopera
ton from the civilians against the brutality of MPs and
then would hate like hell to have to describe the after
