ACE ljA(n11T THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUND)AY, MARCHU 16, 046 'KING FOR A WEEK: A WOL Yank Sergeant Sets Up AMG t.;. . BY ROBERT EUNSON MUENCHEN GLADBACHC, GER- MANY-Going A.W.O.L., an Ameri- can sergeant took over the military government of three suburbs of this German city, issued passes to civil- ians billeted visiting officers in the choicest rooms and acquired for him- self the best looking blonde he could find. His blonde girl friend was a nurse. So he made her chief of his "health and welfare department." Tonight, the beautiful blonde German girl was back in her home after six days of playing a lead in a story that would do credit to Gil- bert and Sullivan. Her 22-year-old American doughboy was in the local klink. The sergeant's king-like rule was brought to a sudden end when Capt. James Mallen, a pre-war park di- rector in Queens, New York, and now heading the military government in Rhyedt, which adjoins this birth- place of Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, began hearing reports of German civilians on roads during hours when they were supposed to be in their homes. When he learned the civilians were carrying passes written in long-hand he suspected Nazi attempts to sab- otage his system. When he finally saw one of the Accent on BA G- S-l Jr0 passes, he sent his public safety officer out to investigate, for the scribbled pass said: "Plase liv his man and his famly go to willich and live they homes and work on they farms at home. Five pipple and his car with him." The sergeant, who had been in the line quite a while and was in one of the U.S.9th Army divisions driving to the Rhine, became awed with the elegance he found inside the homes of German cities he passed through and decided to have himself "one helluva time." The young doughboy picked the three suburbs out for himself and with two assistants set up a military government with an office in which he kept records, issued passes and welcomed visiting American officers. Life had been lonesome during the long, cold watch on the Roer and so he looked over his constit- uents and picked out the most beautiful girl he could. Leaving the office and municipal affairs with his buddies, he went to the blonde's dream home and told her to pack her bags and come with him. The sergeant had a busy week. There were municipal affairs such as seeing everyone had lights and water. He made sure the law was en- forced. The sick and hungry appearing in his office worried him. He got a solu- tion to that problem when his blonde said she was a nurse. She became head of the Department of Health] and saw that minor first-aid cases and sick babies were cared for. Just when things were going nicely, Lt. Charles Pillegrin, Newark, N.J. lawyer, walked in the office. The dia- logue went something like this: The sergeant: "Anything we can do for you? Looking for someone? Like to meet some nice girls?" Pillegrin: "What is your position here?" Sergeant: "Head of the military government." Pillegrin: "Could I ,see your cre- dentials for a lieutenant?" Sergeant: "I don't have any. I'm a battlefield commission. You see, there was a colonel named Williams and he made me a first lieutenant and xxx" Pillegrin: "Would you mind coming with me, lieutenant." The sergeant reluctantly gave in. Now he's charged with impersonat- ing, fraternizing with Germans, in- timidating civilians, illegal use of government property and deser- tion. The first four charges could cost him a sizeable fine or a long jail sentence.

WMC Ruding Eases Curfew On Restaurants 13y The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Mar. 17-In a fur- ther liberalization of the midnight curfew, the government ruled today that restaurants serving food to "es- sential" workers may remain open after 12:00. Previously restaurants which were not customarily open all night could stay open after midnight only if they served food to war plant workers ex- clusively. The change was announced by War Manpower Commissioner Paul V. Mc- Nutt. McNutt did not say what the test of a worker's essentiality will be. He did say that the revision "should not be construed as exempting those restaurants serving food primarily for entertainment seekers." There still are no restrictions as to customers whom all-night restaurants may serve. These establishments were exempted under the original order. WMC also eliminated a require- ment that restaurants serving war plant workers file a written applica- tion for exemption. JEWISH HOLIDAY: Hillel Plans To Serve Meals During Passover Celebration The B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation is making arrangements for the serv- ing of meals at either the Founda- tion or at Congregation Beth Israel throughout the Passover celebration, which will be observed this year from sunset, March 28, through noon, April 5. According to tradition, the first Passover was celebrated when the Israelites were commanded to mark the side-posts of their dwellings with the blood of a newly slain he-lamb, in order that the Lord should pass over their homes when he came to slay the first-born of Egypt. In commemoration of the exodus, each year on the anniversary the Israelites were to eat unleavened bread (Mazzoth) for seven days, be- cause in the hasty departure from Egypt there was not time to leaven the bread. Passover services will be led by Rabbi Isaac J. Goldman and Rabbi Jehudah M. Cohen. Servicemen will be taken care of either at private homes or at the services being ar- ranged. Principal members of the commit- tee planning services are: Charlotte Shapiro, '45, chairman; Milton Budyk, '46,' Student Director in charge; Dorothy Raskind, '47; Ben- son Jaffe, '46; David Brodman, '47, Saul Levine, '48; and Gabriel Allan, '47. * * *.

BASEBALL practice took on a new note as the squad ventured outdoors Thurs- day, its earliest appearance on the outer diamond inj several years. After view- ing two outdoor workouts, Coach Ray Fisher seemed well-pleased with the showing of his charges and made the statement, "We are going to be all right." With the outfield and bat- teries studded with veter- ans, Fisher's main problem is molding an infield com- bination. Jack Weisen- burger and Walt Kell have the inside track at short- stop and second' basetre- spectively, but the other two positions are wide open. The schedule opens April 13 in a game here with Western Michigan. TENNIS COACH Leroy OHIO STATE proved a surprisingly tough foe for the Wolverine swimming team in a dual meet Sat- urday at Columbus after losing to Michigan by a decisive score in the Con- ference meet last weekend, going down, 43-41, after a hard battle. The Wolver- ines won five first places to Ohio State's four. Biggest upset in the meet occurred in the backstroke in which a heavily-favored Michigan trio could do no better than take a third place. The Buckeyes also took the 220 and 440, and the diving event. The victory put the finishing touches on the dual meet season, although the National Collegiates remain to be run off March 30, 31.
