Bi-Racial Tennis
"Riot" Case Ends,
But Verdict To Come
After Election

BALTIMORE - amp - Trial of
% persons charged with conspiring
to incite riot at interracial tennis
matches came to close in criminal
court here last week, but the YER
dict will not be forthcoming until
after election day.
Judge Herman Moser decided to
withhold the verdict because "the
court has been impressed with the
fact that apparently political impli-
cations have been brought into this
case, in that one of the political
parties involved in the coming cleo
ton apparently caught hold of this
case prior to it's inception.
The tennis matches were sponsor
ed by the Young Progressives of
Maryland. One of the defendants is
Harold Buchanan, local white at
torney and director of the Mary
land Progressive party.
Last July IL, police broke up
games between Negroes and whites
as a crowd of about 800 persons
watched. Some of the players sat
or lay down on the courts and had
to be carried to patrol wagons.
At the conclusion of final argu-
ments, Judge Moser commented
"The court does not intend to be
knowingly used by any political
party, without mentioning the
names Of any, as forum in a poll
teal campaign"

got caught in machine gun CT oss
fire near Terence, and only five of
the IL returned.
It was on May 2, 1945, two days
after a machine gun section of
Company H had made the final
dash into Turin, that German re-
sistance in Italy ended and along
with it the longest and bitte,est
campaign in Europe.

crack at the enemy in the Pacific,
including four officers and 1914

attend the Army Language

town of Bruyeres, an important
road center nestled in a valley in
the Vosges Mountains.
Nights in the forest in this
area were so dark that "the COM
pany went forward for the first
time Indian file, holding on to
each others hands like children"
said Sgt. TakemOtO.
There were interminable ranges
of mountains covered with such a
thick growth of pines that the
trees usually stood about four feet
apart, and the gloom at high noon
was so deep that it was impossible
% see the enemy rs feet away. The
area was almost entirely free of hui
man dwellings, but was infested
With Germans"
Extensive use of roadblocks by
he Germans, roads which rains
quickly turned into swamps, and
heavily mined areas gave the 232d
Engineers their toughest assign
ment of the war in this region. It
was only through their skill and en-
1urance that the attack could be
continued at all.
Bruyeres fell on Oct. 10 to the
442d and elements of the 143rd In
fantry Regiment, four days after
he attack began, but there was no
let-up in the fighting.
For eight days many of the
men got no sleep. Foxholes were
useless as a protection against
tree bursts which showered
shrapnel and splinters below.
Many GIs preferred to take their
chances in the open anyway
rather than spend the night in
holes half-fiIled with near-freez-
ing water.
After two days in the town of
Belmont in "rest" areas which were
still under artillery fire, the 442d
was ordered to relieve the First
Battalion, 141st Infantry. This
"lost battalion" had advanced toe
far ahead of its support and had
been cut off by the enemy near the
town of st. Die, three miles from
the nearest friendly troops.
With food, water and medical
supplies very low and m a n y
wounded in need of evacuation, the
"lost battalion" was in desperate
straits, and the Maj. Gen. John G.
Dahlquist, CG of the 36th Division
personally ordered the 442d to push
through at any cost.
Between Oct. 81 and 80, the team
carried out the attack in the gloom
of the forest over seemingly i'm
possible terrain and against a solid
wall of fire from every weapon the
Germans possessed. Interlocking
machine gun fire, with mortars and
grenadiers to corner the gaps, con-
fronted the relief column at every
turn, and in many cases it was i'm
possible to obtain supporting artil-
lery fire because of the tall trees
and the conformation of the ground
There was nothing to do but 60

terrific, but the advances con-
tinued. On the fourth day contact
