Scene Of Grim
MiIitory Justice
By ROBERT OTEY

FIT. LEAvENwORTH, Kas.,
July 10 - (P) - Five German
prisoners of war, sentenced to
death or the murder of a fell
low prisoner, were hanged
early this morning at the U. S.
Disciplinary Barracks IN a move
unprecedented in the annals Of
United States military history.
The prisoners, termed "fan-
atical Nazis" by army author
tiles, were convicted Jan. Is,
1914, at Camp Gruber, Okla, for
the murder of Johannes Kunze
ut the Tonkawa, Okla, branch
compound. They were the first
foreign prisoners ever to be
executed in the United States.
PAY WITH LIVES ~ 4.
The executed Germans, all
members of RommePs Afrika
korps, were:
Walter Boyer, 80, whose rank
was equivalent to that of first
sergeant in the u. S. Army;
Berthold Seidel, 80, a staff
sergeant; Hans Demme, %,
sergeant; Hans Schooner, q,
sergeant, and Will Scholz, %,
corporal.
All went to their deaths clad
in their German uniforms, their
only request. Their last meal
consisted only of the regular is
sued rations. Boyer, the ranking
member of the group, was the
first to 60 to the gallows. Eight
guards marched the German,
who wore blue leggings and
blue pants, a suntan uniform
coat and open-necked shirt, into
a utility warehouse where army
engineers had constructed q
trap door gallows in an elevator
shaft. Col. William S. Eley,
commandant of the disciplinary
barracks, read the execution Or

white people. In November, 1914, representatives
of 80 branches of the NAACI met in San Fran
cisco and UNANIMOUSLY adopted a resolution TO
greet the returning Japanese with friendlinesS

There some discussion. There was some
resentment Of the snobbishness and discrimina-
tory attitude of some Japanese There was also
resentment at the fact that Japanese frequently
enjoyed greater privileges at the hands of whites
than did Negroes, although it was recognized that
this was not exactly the fault of the Japanese.
But there was also the feeling that, by and large,
the japanese did not discriminate against Ne
groeS much as the whites, and the Japanese
hotels were cited as case in point

There IS some indication that many Japanese
who had adooted white attitudes toward Ne

matter while they were behind barbcd wire and
