European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - July 3, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse Sunday july 3, 1988 the stars and stripes Page 3 Soldier s widow continues lonely fight from Page 1 but he died of Gross Schoenborn underwent three years of therapy to Deal with her husband s death which both she and her then 9-year-old daughter witnessed. Some of the other surviving family members joined Schoenborn to sue Boeing Vertol manufacturer of the Chinook soon after the Accident. The . District court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania entered a jury verdict for the survivors. But in june 1985, the 3rd circuit court of appeals reversed that verdict ruling that because Boeing ver Tol built the aircraft to the government s specifications it was subject to the government s immunity from suit. The supreme court in january 1986 denied the survivors request to hear the Case citing the feres doctrine which prohibits service members or their survivors from suing the government for negligence. Also they were told that under the Federal tort claims act no suit can be brought against the government based on incidents that happen outside the United states. When a Soldier does something wrong he can be thrown out Schoenborn said. But if the government does something wrong against the Soldier they get away with it. I m a person who believes injustice and the Mili tary just wants to pretend nothing last week the supreme court in an unrelated Case refused to reinstate a $725,000 award to the family of a Marine helicopter co Pilot killed in a 1983 crash in the Atlantic near Virginia Beach a. In the Case the court said companies May not be sued when they make military equipment using a design approved by the Pentagon As Long As the contractors did not conceal any potential hazards from the government. The government has a system to protect itself Schoenborn said. With something like what happened to my husband i can t sue the government i can t sue the contractor so who is liable it s a system that lets the government get away with Schoenborn and Gisela Edwards another widow from the Accident had tried to return their flags through the american embassy in Bonn on the fifth anniversary of their husbands deaths last year. The embassy would not accept them. Since then Schoenborn has written everyone from president Reagan to sen. Lloyd Bentsen a Texas to bring attention to her deteriorating financial situation. After the crash schoenb9rn and her three children received $35,000 from military life insurance and $10,000 from another policy. They get about $1,800 per month in retirement pay her husband had 27 is photo by Steve Morrison Ursula Schoenborn clutches a Shoebox containing some of the correspondence related to her fight to obtain benefits from the government in the helicopter crash that killed her husband and 45 others. Years of service and other survivors of that Money has gone to lawyers trans at lactic Telephone Calls and plane tickets in her efforts to get Legal monthly payments will be Cut in half when Schoenborn s youngest daughter turns 19. The drop in the value of the Dollar in West Germany forced her to sell her House in Aschaffenbur and move Back to the United states june 19. She is living with her son in san Antonio Texas until she can find housing of her s major argument for compensation centers around the awards Given to the families of Navy cmdr. Michael Smith and air Force it. Col. Ellison Onizuka two Active duty military members killed in the space shuttle challenger disaster in 1986. Schoenborn said she has documents from the Justice department showing that the government paid More than $7 million to the families of the challenger Astro nauts and recovered 60 percent of that total from mor ton Thi Okol makers of the Booster of rings that were later found to be the cause of the will now attempt to obtain a court order to find out exactly How much was paid to each family particularly to the families of Smith arid were military pilots just like my husband she said. I watched my husband die because of negligence just like their families did. What s the differ ence in these two cases a Pentagon Legal official who asked that his name not be used said the challenger situation was unique. The Justice department was cute in its handling of that Case because there was a mix of military and non military personnel on government was intentionally vague about the breakout of the payments As far As How much if any thing was paid by the government and How much was paid by the said that was done because the Justice depart ment did t want to give the impression that the government was making compensation payments to pre vent setting just the kind of precedent that this woman is apparently using As a basis for her contributing to this report staff writer Chuck Vinch in Washington Bremerhaven Pov pickup list editor s note if your name is on this list your car is waiting to be picked up at Bremerhaven.
