back to Germany as a civilian at

The San Bruno (Calif.) Air Forces

civilians.
"But when I get back to the
States I'll ask for immediate dis
charge from the Army and then
try to come back here as a civilian
to defend these fellows at my own
expense" Capt. Carroll said. We'll
find out If it really is possible for
an accused American to obtain
lawyer of his own choice in the
European theater.
