LETTER REVEALS
Bad Tolz, Germany, Aug. 22
U.R; The only WAC detach
ment in this area was up in
arms today against ,an unidenti
fied WAC sergeant who asked
the army newspaper Stars and
Stripes if it was permissible for
WACS to fraternize with Ger
man men.
Her query provoked a storm
of bitter letters from GI's, who
charged that WACS in general
had been "snooty" toward
American soldiers and particu
larly that they habitually ig
nored American enlisted men
whenever the companionship
of officers was available.
Acrimonious GI letters still
were appearing in Stars and
Strines today.
One letter said thnt during
the d.iy WACS "give the enlist
ed man a smile and a doughnut.
But they spend the evening rid
ing with officers in jeeps and
staff cars."
Pvt. Demarls Clark of Port
land. Ore., said:
"If I like a man, I'd go out
with him if he was a Hottentot
but not a German. We'd like
tn B.t our hands on that WAC
sergeant for even thinking
about fraternizing with Ger
mans who have killed so many
of our boys."
