Bonn Death March
KILLING IS Probed

KEMPTEN, Germany, June 5
1 (R.-An official commission
opened an on-the spot investiga-
ton yesterday into a death
march" that resulted in the
drowning Of Is young West
German soldiers.
The commission formed by the
West German Defense Ministry
moved into this Bavarian town
as rescue units probed the swift
moving Iller River for bodies OF
the men. So far only one body
has been found.
The soldiers were on a night
training march when they we're
swept away by the rain-swoilen
river. Their sergeant. who ad-
mitted the idea Of the march
was his own. was in custody.
The tragedy. which occurred
yesterday, rocked this army-con-
Iscious country. The dead SOL
diers we're draftees. a fact not
overlooked by those who oppose
the creation OF a new German
army.
The soldiers were between 10
and 81 and nearly all came from

berg.

improvement, Constable Dean
persevered.
Such was the situation when
an inspector making the rounds
of the palace police guard the
other morning spotted the young
constable, who seemed to be at
tracing an undue share Of tour
list attention.
Police regulations. the inspec-
tor remarked, require uniformed
officers to appear on duty clean
and tidy" In the inspectors
view it was impossible TO recon-
.cile the regulations with the
peculiar excrescence on the Dean
jowls. He strongly suggested q
shave.
Constable Dean firmly de-
clined. pointing out that there is
nothing in the rules which says
a policeman can't wear a beard.
The suspension followed.
For the time being. Constable
Dean is nursing his stubble trou-
BILE in the privacy of his home.
The issue Of the CHASTITY whiskers
in due course will come before
a police disciplinary board, which
will decide where being unshaven
stops and having a beard begins.
