Disturbance Involving Troops

FLORENCE, S. c. (NNPA) -
War Department officials last Fri
day promised an investigation Of
the circumstances connected with .
disturbance here involving civilian.
military and railroad police dis
charged veterans en- route to their
homes and 200 northbound troops.
The disturbance started when two
military policemen, acting on a tip
from Fort Bragg, N. c., where the
men had been earlier discharged.
boarded a southbound train to see
how the men were behaving and
found only one slightly under the
weather.
About 200 additional Negro
soldiers waiting in the station saw
the MP's arrest this one soldier
and began to grumble. When sta
ton officials asked the MPs to
clear the soldiers away from the
gate so that passengers could board
a northbound train. the soldiers re-
fused to move. The MP's saw q
Negro sergeant in the crowd and
asked him to assist them. He talked
back to them, which they did not
like, and they arrested him. His
arrest caused fighting to break out

Edwin A. Deagle, transportation Of
ficer for the Military District OF

He said all dependents on priority
lists for transport to Europe will be
moved, and on schedule" He thus
branded as without foundation ru-
mors that such shipments might be
discontinued. Col. Deagle explained
the rllmors have caused numerous
anxious inquiries at the War Depart
ment.
He said the three additional ships
should make possible the clearing
during November of a backlog of de-
pendents scheduled to sail from New
York. If the backlog Is not cleared
this month, the additional ships
probably will be continued In service,
he reported.
Col. Deagle also gave assurances
that adequate housing awaits the
dependents in Europe.

Federal buildings throughout the
country, including about $200, ,000. .oOC
worth In and near Washington.
Congress feared, however. its pas
sage would have had an adverse
political effect on the votes Of veter-
ans and others caught in the housing
shortage.
The last cost estimate made for
the proposed new Navy building
was $46,000, 900. Mr.. Reynolds de-
scribed it yesterday as a very large
structure.
To Avoid Competition.
The buildings commissioner
stressed that his agency would not
build in competition with the hous-
ing and hospital programs. The bulk
of the buildings planned will not be
built until costs are down and men
and materials available.
This will mean. he told the build
ers, that despite the fact the District
needs new Federal buildings des-
perately, 1--WE will have to use some
temporary buildings for many years
to come"
He said this was unfortunate,
especially since President Roosevelt
had told him to build war emergency
buildings so they would fall down
by themselves in five years"
