works.!
It was on my night off that I
happened to drop out in the VIC
inity of 18th Street and Washing
ton. I saw commotion in front
of the Servall Buffet, the most
famous drinking rendezvous for
soldiers and civilians on the east
side. I stopped and got out of my
car as I saw the M.P.'S having
quite a time with a civilian girl.
They were trying to keep her off
soldier they had in custody. I
knew Gner, as this district was part
/ of my beat, and she frequented
this place most every night, mingl-
ing with the soldiers. She was
dark, short-haired and stocky built
and could make a lot of trouble
| when aroused.
1 learned that the soldier in
custody, while inside, had hit her
over the head with a beer bottle.
And, with bits of glass still in her
hair, was red-eyed mad. She was
still screaming and clawing trying
to get at the soldier. Sizing up the
situation I soon corraled her, got
her on a street car and headed
her home.
But now the M.P.'s had their
hands full. 1t seemed the rest OF
the soldiers in the place believed
there had been something little
shady on the part of the girl, that
caused the soldier to hit her with
the bottle. With this in mind and
other feelings, they didn't want
the M.P.'s to take the soldier. A
horde of them began closing in on
the M.P.'s. Being greatly out
numbered, one of them drew his
gun, fired one shot in the ground
and another in the air. This halted
them long enough that they could
get the soldier away.
But it also had it's unfavorable
effect. For the bullet fired into
the ground struck the edge of the
sidewalk and richochetted anC

another soldier in the leg. Soon
the news spread around that ar

and came back to town. Now they
were seen touring the section
where the soldier had gotten shot
and all over the east side. They
had MI rifles, sub-thompsons, and
light machine guns and spelling
for trouble. They were looking
for M.P.'s. The police were soon
alerted and many of the men off
duty were notified and called back
to duty.
The two colored officers walk

first to encounter these maraud-
ers. They had walked down to

He was wounded by enemy fire

Discrimination Halls
Church Meetings In
Washington. D. {.

New York (NNPA) - A special
committee of the National Council
of Churches of Christ in the United
States met here last Thursday and
eliminated Washington, D. c., as
a possible location of the councils
headquarters. DR.. Harold Stassen,
president of the University of
Pennsylvania, is head of the COM
mittee.
Racial discrimination in Wash
ington hotels was given as the
reason for rejecting the Washing
ton bid.
At it's preliminary meeting, the
headquarters site committee ex-
pressed full agreement that the
new headquarters should be in a
city where there would be free
dom from racial prejudice.
J. Earl Moreland of Ashland,
Virginia, president of Randolph
Macon College, said that it was
"a source of regret" to him that
because of the racial discrimina-
ton problem, mar1 southern ci-
ties could not be considered. The
question is even more glaring in
an age when "the churches should
be the first line of civilization" he
said.
The committee considered the
bids of twelve American cities for
the headquarters site of the Coun-
Gil, coordinating agency of
twenty-nine Protestant and Orthc-
dox denominations.
Speakers were about equally di-
vided between a Midwest loca-
tcn near the population and
geographic center of the United
States and New York City,
where the council has temporary
headquarters in five buildings.
Because of the division, COM
promise suggestion was made that
New York City should be the focal
point for the National Council,
which represents 100000 church
members, and that it should have
branch offices in several other
cities, notably Chicago and Colum-
bus, Ohio.
Bids for the headquarters site
have been presented by the latter
two cities, by New York City, and
by Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pitts
burgh, Evansville, Fort Worth, In
dianapolis, South Bend and Muncie,
Indiana, and Wycoff, New Jersey,
community of some 5000.

issue would be further discussed

mittee on November % in Allan
