TELLS HOW ETHIOPIANS
ATTACKED SUB CREWMEN

were under orders to extend hos
pitality to the surrendered Ital-
ians. inasmuch as they were an
ticipated allies. but the Italians,
thoroughly cowed, were not given
too cordial treatment. While they
were received by the Americans
and English, the Ethiopians, re-
membering Mussolini and his satel-
lites, welcomed the opportunity to
meet the Italians.
When the sub crews would go
ashore. parties of Ethiopians would
set on them with sticks and stones
and chase them almost back into
the sea. Only the intervention of
the American military police stop
ped what would amount to a
slaughter. The Ethiopians hate all
Italians and never fail to express
their feelings whenever occasion
presents itself, said this eyewit-
ness

NEW YORK.-(ANP)-Untold
tales of the war are beginning to
crop up here and there and not
all of them concern American Ne
groes and their troubles. A former
naval lieutenant, stationed in Alden
on the Persian gulf, tells of some
Ethiopians who had settled in that
section.
Following Italy's collapse, SUBJ
marines belonging to this nation
which had been operating in that
area from an Ethiopian base were
ordered to surrender. Unable to
make their home port, the subs
were ordered to Alden where
Americans and other allies would
receive them.

Georgian Recalls
Capturing Germans
In Bulge Battle

Tt is always darkest before dawn
or so the old axiom goes-as far
as Bronze Star holder, S/Sgt
Fred D. Coleman, Negro from Ca
max, Ca, is concerned, 1t still
holds true.
Staff Sergeant Coleman was at
tached to the 969th Field Artillery
Battalion, Battery c, little out
side Bastone on December Is
1944-the day after the "battle of
the Bulge" broke forth, when the
action took place that merited him
the Bronze Star Medal.
"Our area had been under con-
tinuous barrage for quite some
time. Then things really got
dark, we found that bullets were
beginning to come right into the
center of our position stated
Coleman. 81 crawled forward to
investigate the direct bullet fire. "
FOUND NAZI NEST
Coleman found a German ma
chine gun nest had set itself up
and was zeroed in on the battery's
position. al fired a few rounds into
their nest and was surprised when
one of the soldiers jumped out
yelling 'Comrade'." Coleman con-
tinued, "I was suspicious, so just
waited in my position a few min
utes."
When he had satisfied himself
the enemy soldier wasn't trying
any tricks to trap him, Coleman
took him and the other four. men
in the machine gun nest as his
prisoners, after destroying the en-
envy emplacement.
The sergeant, who is 7l-point
man. has spent the last 13 months
in an Army hospital with shoul-
der injury. He will don civilian
clothes once more after spending
Al months in uniform. of which 16
months were spent overseas.
He is the son of Mrs. Georgia
Coleman and was formerly en-
ployed by Mr.. j. A. Johnson of
Thomson. Ca, as truck driver.
Staff Sergeant Coleman is au-
thorized to wear the Combat In
fantry Badge. Good Conduct Med
al, Distinguished Unit Badge, Eu-
ropean Theater Service Ribbon
with 4 battle stars and the Amer
lean Theater Service Ribbon along
with his Bronze Star Medal.

Demand Sugar
Profits Share,
Termed Red
Guadeloupe Natives
Backed By Governor
In Increase Fight
Guadeloupe

POINTE-A-PfTRE, Guadeloupe
-(ANP)-A militant demand by
natives for greater share of sug-
ar profits is being branded "red''
or "communistic" by sugar mo-
guls as they openly agitate for
Y. 5. armed interference to crush
the native movement.
Reason for appealing to the
u S. for armed help is due to
their inability to win support from
the French government. Not even
Gov. Andre Pierre sympathizes
with their systematic exploitation.
Blame for the natives unrest is
placed in Simeon Phoebe and u.
Laurent, members of the central
committee of the Communist party
and leaders of L'Union Department
tale des Syndicate de la Guade-
loupe.
WORKERS BACKED
Sugar plantation and factory
owners claim that Phoebe and Lau-
rent have told the natives to de-
mand piece rates instead of the
fiat 100 francs (83 cents) for an
eight-hour day which was award
ed on March 18 by Gov. Pierre to
end sympathy strike involving
practically every workman here.
Although Laurent believes cane
cutting will begin soon in view of
recent wage agreements, land
owners and proprietors of the big
sugar factories claim workers are
refusing to return to work until
they receive a cash bonus of Is
per cent on the total of the 1945
wages.
Gov. Pierre has ordered factory
owners to pay the peasants who
sold them cane at the mills in
1912 and 1943 the back bonuses of
33 cents a ton for the cane har-
vested in 1943. Beside openly re-
senting Pierre's decree, which they
claim illegal on technical grounds,
the plantation and factory owners
hold there is insufficient currency
to meet the payments. They ad-
nit willingness to pay the 1916
wage increase which is approx
mately 80 per cent above last
years scale, but contend that back
payments will bankrupt them.
