Judge Warns Mother
Against Leaving
Her Children Alone

A rarely enforced ordinance and
one that seldom comes up In
Recorders court made It's appear
ance Yesterday in the case OF Mrs.
Joe jackson, 10, who was charged
with leaving her three children at
home without any n in attendant
ce.
Solicitor James King told the
court that he wasn't so anxious
to convict the mother who is
scarsely more than a child herself,
but to break up the practice"
Neighbors said the children were
found alone after II p. m. The
defendant contended that she works
at night and had left a neighbor
to look after them.
Judge George Peschau dismissed
the case with the warning that the
mother must take care of her
children or "the court will get
someone who will"

General Huebner
Praises Negro
Troops in EUCOM

Berlin, Germany.-In statement
issued last week Lieutenant Gen
eral Clarence R. Huebner, Deputy
Commander-in-Ch of European
Command, praised the training pro-
gram for Negro troops in the COM
mand, and the commendable per-
formance of the Negro soldiers in
volved.
General Huebner made the fol-
lowing remarks in connection with
the program: "The progress made
in the European Command expert
mental training program for Negro
troops, as exemplified by the six
all-Negro Infantry companies train
ed in Grafenwohr, is most impress
sive and satisfying.
"This was particularly evident at
the recent Armistice Day ceremon-
les in Nurnberg. The Lowell Of per-
formance and training among all
troops participating in the ceremon-
les was outstanding and none more
so than that of the 7777th Infantry
Platoon, the Negro Honor Guard
of the First Military District.
with the exemplary success
demonstrated so far, it is to be ex-
pected that the continuance of the
progress at Kitzingen, which will
begin in December, will produce a
body of Negro troops in this COM
mand whose morale, discipline, and
nerformance of duty will be second
to none."
