Alleged Bias Against Marine Recruit
Not Substantiated, Investigator Reports
A Detroiter who was concerned
over news reports of alleged mis-
treatment of a Jewish recruit at
the Parris Island, S.C., Marine
Corps recruit depot, has been con-
tacted by the Marine Corps inspec-
tor general, who reported the re-
sults of an investigation into the
case.
Allen Warsen of Parklawn Ave.,
Oak Park, received the report from
Brig. Gen. E. S. Fris after Warsen
had sent a letter of protest to U.S.
Secretary of Defense Melvin R.
Laird last fall.
The original news report claimed
that the young recruit had suffered
a mental breakdown as a result of
brutal treatment at the hands of
anti-Semitic drill instructors at the
training base.
According to the inspector gen-
eral, however, the private's allega-
tions have not been substantiated
and, in fact, physicians at the U.S.
Naval Hospital at Charleston "de-
termined during interview that
Private had been receiving
psychiatric treatment as far back
as May 1968, before he joined the
Marine Corps."
Two months after the recruit—
described initially as having "ex-
ceptional intelligence"—was as-
signed to his platoon, he evinced
certain behavior that prompted
his superiors to recommend psy-
chiatric observation and treat-
ment, the report claims.
"It has been administratively de-
termined that the former Jewish
chaplain at the Parris Island Re-
cruit Depot interviewed Private
on a routine basis on 10
April 1969," Fris' letter states.
"This former chaplain states that
he did not then receive, nor did he
at any other time receive, any
complaint or reports of alleged
bigotry or maltreatment from or
concerning Private
"Additionally, it was determined
that at no time during the two-
month period that he was under ob-
servation at the U.S. Naval Hospi-
tal in Charleston, South Carolina,
did he mention to his physican any
specific incidents of alleged bigotry
or maltreatment."
The recruit was discharged from
the Marine Corps "under honor-
able conditions for medical rea-
sons" and was confined to the
North Shore Mental Hospital in
New York for psychiatric treat-
ment.
Rep. Mario Biaggi of New York,
charged last fall that witnesses in
the recruit's platoon confirmed that
the young man "was systematically
brutalized by drill instructors be-
cause he is Jewish."
In his letter to Warsen, the in-
spector general said the charges
have not been substantiated but
