Washington, D. C.— (NNPA) —
The entire 838th Aviation Engi
neer Battalion, consisting of
about, 1,000 men, has been re
turned to the United States from
Italy because some of its mem
bers were involved in a clash with
white American soldiers in Ca
serta, it was learned here last
Wednesday.
Twenty-eight members of the
838th Battalion were reported to
be held in confinement at Livor
no, tlaly as a result of the clash.
A colored woman Red Cross
worker, a Mrs. Mildred A. Fort
son of Youngstown, Ohio, also was
reported to have been taken jnto
custody. The American Red
ever, that she has returned to
Cross''said last Wednesday, how
this country. She is the daughter
of Mrs. Estelle Clark, also of
Youngstown.
According to information re
ceived here, the trouble began
when 800 replacements were as
signed to the 838th, which was
stationed near Caserta.
Army information and education
officers immediately set about
arranging suitable recreational fa
cilities for tiie 'troops within their
camp in orier to prevent their
crowding into Caserta on leave.
To carry out their arrangements
Italian women were transported
from Caserta to take part in ac
tivities at 'the camp.
This plan worked well, it was
reported, until a sudden change of
officer personnel in the 838th
took place. According to reports,
the new white officers imme
diately barred the Italian women
from attending affairs at the
camp and when 'the colored sol
diers sought entertainment in
Caserta a clash with white troops
over the women followed.
The conflict reached a climax
when white troops are alleged to
have gone to their area after sev
eral fist fights, armed themselves,
and returned, led by their com
pany officers.
The colored troops are reported
to have gone to their area, broken
into their supply room and ob
tained armsl
' No reports on the outcome of
.the battle was available, but im
mediately following the incident
the battalion was placed aboard
ship and returned to the States
so suddenly that port authorities
in this country had not bzeen not
ified of the time of their arrival
and the unit’s ship was forced to
wait in the harbor several days
before the troops could embark.
The War Department admitted
that the unith da been ordered
back to the States but would not
comment on the cause. The 838th
was overseas almost two years.
Information concerning the unit
was given to William A. Hill,
executive secretary of 'the Dis
trict of Columbia Branch of tiie
National Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People, who
communicated with the War De
partment.
Mr. Hill was informed that the
information had been transmitted
to Marcus H. Ray, civilian aide to
the Secretary of War, who is tour
ing United States Army installa
tions in the European theater,
and he in turn had notified the
Department that he would look
into the matter.

_jThe famous tootball coach pic
tured above in his early playing
days, engineered one of the grid
iron’s most stunning upsets in 1921
when as quarterback of small Cen
ter College of Kentucky, he led the
Praying Colonels to a 6-0 victory
over mighty Harvard. History took
a weird twist when his University
of Indiana eleven, Western Confer
ence champions last year, took a
15 to 6 drubbing from little Cin
cinnati University in one of the
most resounding upsets of the 1946
season. Stan Lomax, of “Sports To
day" on MBS, asks if you can name
him.
