Sailors Said to Beat Marines at Sasebo Base
Tokyo attorney Frank H. Scolinos claimed sailors attacked and beat three Marines near the Sasebo barracks after a snack bar stop and in a base gym fight, while Navy officials reported the fracas stemmed from a single fist fight with four sailors involved. The 16 Marines face maltreatment charges for alleged prisoner abuse in the Sasebo brig, with no courts-martial date set. Names of sailors cited by the attorney differed from Navy witnesses, and one listed sailor was stated by Navy not to be involved.
