Marines Probe Beater Instructors At Parris Island
Marine authorities at Parris Island South Carolina opened an inquiry into charges by several recruits that they were mistreated by drill instructors. Four instructors were removed from duty with two accused of striking recruits during training maneuvers. The probe follows an anonymous letter to Gen Homer L. Litzemberg alleging maltreatment, reportedly sent by Nelson R. Porter of Hartford Island whose son David L. Porter was among the accusers. Porter claims his son was struck on the head with a steel bar, but officials deny substantiating that claim. Several days of blows were alleged but no proof exists at this time. The inquiry will decide if formal charges are warranted.
