Up photo ban on of salesmen explained Wiesbaden Germany is the Safe ban against military and civilian personnel and their dependents working As salesmen for commercial business enterprises has brought on a number of com plaints and objections according to a spokesman Here. Most of the complaints come from the Par time salesmen affected he said.

Forces while soliciting business could result inthe Host country withdrawing these privileges. Such abuses of these privilege would indicate to the Host country that the . Had failed to live unto its agreement to prevent such incidents he said. We can Only estimate How Many salesmen there were in Safe before the ban went into effect but As an example one firm told us that in the past Yea their sales Force grew from 45 to 250of which More than 90 per cent were military or civilian employees of the military he said. Another reason for the ban was that the Par time salesmen had a unfair advantage Over local civilian salesmen since they had Access touch customer lists As Telephone books personnel rosters Etc. In Many cases they had Access to Fel Low workers during duty hours. Safe regulation the directive does not prevent employment by non appropriated fund or government sponsored activities such As the motion picture service clubs open messes Etc.
