Army May Probe Immoral Charge In Europe
FRANKFURT Germany March 4 Maj Gen Miller G White deputy chief of staff in Europe said the army likely will investigate charges that German women were admitted to bachelor quarters at the U S forces headquarters compound. He said the army would not raid officers quarters but would take disciplinary action if individual cases are reported. A high officer indicated many women may have spent nights inside the guarded enclosure housing army headquarters and billets. A letter in Stars and Stripes cited similar allegations prompting discussion of immorality and lax discipline among officers and civilians living in the compound. The European chaplain and Col Tiernan condemned looseness and immorality. The enclosed area, once part of I G Farben, barred after 10:30 p m and open to women only at other times, remains under scrutiny.
