Frauleins Falsely Accuse Americans False Accusations Against Soldiers Frankfurt, Jan. 2S — (UP) — Scheming frauleins and other vengeful Germans have launched a campaign of false accusations against American soldiers, charging them with rape, manslaughter, assault and theft, army investigators said today. The army said many of the charges made against innocent soldiers by Germans desiring revenge or money were “fantastic” but that the practice was being discouraged by sentences of one to three years in prison. Investigators said the tendency to blame the Americans automatically and unjustly for German woes always has existed, but that recently it has become “much more aggravated.” They interpreted the trend as evidence of a growing anti-Ameri-can feeling. As an example, they reported the case of one German girl who heard a false rumor that the army was paying 10,000 Marks ($1,000) indemnity in cases where frauleins were raped by American soldiers. The fraulein immediately submitted a bill to military government officials claiming: “an American soldier raped me three times a week for six months, but he’s gone home now.” Army agents said a Frankfurt nurse also joined the campaign. She told authorities a tale of assault and overnight kidnaping by two soldiers to excuse her nightlong absence from the hospital. Investigation disclosed she had spent the night with her German boy friend. Other fantastic claims were made by Germans who hoped to profit from the recent army policy of paying Germans who were injured by occupation forces in accidents. A hit-and-run victim at Sachsenhausen brought in dozens of witnesses to swear he was run over by a convoy of six American trucks. However, the army’s criminal investigation division found that one German truck was responsible. J| <f? I ImEmOgiO VJjLI INVEST IN EZ& II.S. SflVIMfiS BOMBS

Eisenhower next month as ■ army chief of staff. Meanwhile, President Truman’s i demotion of Eccles evoked com- ; ment from several quarters. ' Fuel —Chairman Tobey of the ■ senate commerce subcommittee 1 on oil said that even the request- ! ed 15 percent cutback in heating 1 oil consumption may not be 1 enough if the severe cold spell continues.
