European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - February 07, 1969, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 8 the stars and stripes Friday february 7, 1969 letters to the editor recently my wife and i at tended a performance of the graduate at the Schuh Thea Ter in Mannheim. We arrived at the theater about one hour before the show started. The line was orderly at first but soon people who were not in line began Ron eating outside the Box office some of these people even forced themselves into the line. About half an hour before the show St info Here was Amob of at to � to so a pole deep on either Side of the front of the theater. This mob was caused by two factors one person was permitted to buy four tickets. Often these people would pass out their tickets to others in the crowd. There was a total Lack of supervision by theater person Nel. I be had this same experience before at other popular features shown at this i told the manager of the problem he replied that he had no directives to cover this Situ think responsible individuals should promulgate such directives. This would not Only be fair to those people who wait patiently in line but also it would alleviate a definitely unsafe and hazardous situation. Why not allow each person inline to buy Only two tickets at these popular shows also there should be direct supervision outside of the theater by Heater personnel or maps to insure an orderly line with no crashing. Capt. Harvey w. Kapla Mannheim Germany editor s note capt. Shir Ley Gross the theater officer at the Schuh theater said Shehas received numerous com plaints about the disorderly Lin outside of the theater. Capt. Gross said in he opinion the maps should not be expected to get involved in have been lining up in front of Heaters All of their lives she said. Why do they have to behave like cattle she said the solution of the problem was primarily the responsibility of the added the Day after the graduate was shown i drafted a leaflet outlining theater policy for distribution to each Patron of the she also wrote a letter to the Community leaders in Heidel Berg and Mannheim asking them to set up some policy to Clear up this problem. She said people with Large families would complain if the number of tickets sold to each Patron were limited to two add ing you can t please theater manners film code negro facilities two kinds of Whites during my 18 years in the army i have had numerous contacts both officially and socially with two kinds of White people the conservative an the Liberal. I have much More respect for the Liberal. There is a difference betwee the two even the non Whites All Over the world can notice the liberals have a Pride in their american culture an empathy for their less fortunate Ameri can Brothers and Sisters an Mankind the world Over which the successful White conservatives and Black Power advocates Lack and cannot even comprehend. Look what Blacks can do Tob lacks in Biafra what White conservatives did to the poor Whites in the South what the . Are doing to their own kind and Don t forget who burned Down Black people Shomes during the riots of 1967 and 1968. Wiesbaden Whites a Jan. 8 has become caught up in the Black Power and conservative establishment and Swal Lowed its line Hook line and sinker. He has denied any prior association with the american culture and has become a relatively poor imitation Ameri can. As Long As Wiesbaden White keeps writing letters spouting the Black Power and White conservative company line his Black Power friends and conservative superiors will think he is a Nice White conservative and they might even make him a governor of Alabama. To the proud liberals in the armed forces i offer you encouragement and understand ing not sympathy remember your fallen dead president John f. Kennedy his brother Robert Abraham Lincoln the three civil rights workers who were slain in Mississippi an others like John Brown. Above All Don t forget Jesus Christ teachings love one another As i have loved you and be proud of your Black arid White american culture.

Col 11. T. Bolandjr Heidelberg i would like to give three cheers for the new code rating system at military Heaters. Hope commanders and theater officers at All bases will see that it is properly enforced. As the Mother of two just barely teens i appreciate that there is a code so we can de Termine when movies Are unsuitable for i feel that the new rating sys tem adopted by the a amps Jan. 16 is is very unconstitutional. The ninth amendment states the enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shallot be construed to deny or Dis Parage others retained by this simply Means that twas not possible to list in the Constitution All the rights . Citizens should have. There Are other important rights that Are to belong to the people even though the Constitution do snot mention them. The a amps is now Takin away the right of parents to have the last say on what movies their children should or should t be allowed to Geisler or. Hanau Germany the recent action of the army and air Force motion picture service was most commendable. However the most positive action is contained in the implementing directives which will hopefully attain the orig Inal purposes of a rating code one being the furnishing of guidance to the past i have never ceased to be amazed by the scrutiny Given the identification tags of Little ones attend ing the saturday afternoon Chil Dren s movie and the Complete Lack of such control when the same children appear for Chelate movie clearly labelled mature audience Only.". Obviously the decision to enforce the code was coordinated with both army and air Force and i am sure mos parents and commanders Are breathing a sigh of is hoped parents in the european area will View the new directives in a favourable rather than a restrictive b.

I would like to know Why there Are no facilities for negro women in yes Beauty shops. I Don t mean to imply that the shops discriminate but personnel employed in them simply know nothing about Sty Ling the hair of Black women. We Are All realistic enough i Hope to realize that there is a vast difference in the hair of the White and Black american. Why Aren t these difference realized and provided for we need the proper products forthe Black woman s hair and personnel familiar with these products and knowledgeable in their my part i would be glad to provide yes with the appropriate Brand names and . C. L. Crittendon Herzog Nakrach Germany editor s note you Vebr ought up a problem which Al so has been of some concern Trees an official of the Exchange service in Europe he explained the Exchange Beauty shops Are operated under con tract with yes by Concession Aires who employ German beauticians.

Unused credit charge i have recently had an Opportunity to make use of the yes pickup Point facility a Wharton Cavern in Heilbronn. After collecting my Gar ments i was surprised to note that a 10 per cent charge had been added to the Cost of the cleaning Bill. Upon inquiry iwas informed that this constituted a service charge impose because credit was available for All customers and the fact that paid Cash was irrelevant. To be required to pay for service which one does not care to utilize seems to smack of fraud. Capt. Thomas a. Germany editor s note an be spokesman said that the credit laundry and dry cleaning serv ice is maintained As a separate operation for direct delivery to Barracks and units in the Field. He said this credit service i offered at a number of selected pickup Points for regular customers who maintain individual credit accounts. These pickup Points have not taken the place of the regular Cash and carry outlets and Are not intended to do so he explained. In most cases the pickup Points operate in a very Small area and do not have room to serve Cash and carry custom ers in addition to their credit requirements. The 10 per cent surcharge he pointed out was applied to cover the Cost of financing Bank guarantees debts vehicles and to help provide faster service. Yes certainly regrets an misunderstanding regarding this service and invites the write to use the regular Cash and carry pickup Point located near by the official said.
