THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Monday, November 1, 1954 Page 10 Lieutenant Is Held In Probe Of Brutality AUGUSTA, Ga. # — A slim, young officer was under house ar rest at Camp Gordon today await- ing outcome of a pretrial investi- gation into charges he ordered re- cruits to hang a fellow trzinee by the feet from a tree limb. Third Army headquarters also | charged in a statement that 2nd | Lt. Charles C. Anderson, 24, for-| merly of St. Louis, Mo., forced re- cruits to take sand baths, do ex- hausting physical exercises and shout am obscene phrase from a tree top. The 5-foot-10 officer, described as soft-spoken and “‘on the handsome side,” served as a master ser- geant in the Far East and won two battle stars in Korea, He was on his first assignment as an officer, in command of Com- pany A, 1st Infantry Training Reg- iment, when, the Army charges, he forced recruits to undergo “‘haras- sing and humiliating” treatmént. Anderson declined comment. Third Army headquarters said that after the pretrial investigation was completed the commanding general at Camp Gordon would de- termine the appropriate action to be taken, “to include trial by court-martial if warranted.” Detaile of the case were re- leased Saturday by Lt. Gen. A. R. Bolling, commanding general of the 3rd Army who stressed that no injuries were suffered. Charges against Anderson in- elude: 1, After a scuffle between two trainees and a permanent member of the company, he allegedly or- dered a trainee, who carried a stick, to be bound by his ankles by @ rope, “‘thus suspending the train- ee upside down.” The officer then instructed the recruit to “beat the trunk of the tree if he wanted o beat anything.” 2. Anderson forced two other trainees to take “sand baths” to “emphasize the necessity of fre- quent bathing.” The recruits were forced to strip down to their shorts and socks and then were ordered to scrub themselves with @ wash cloth dipped in sand and water, They were later ordered to climb a tree and repeatedly shout an obscene phrase. 3, Anderson ordered a trainee to do “pushups and squatjumps until he lay apparently exhausted on the ground.” While the recruit lay prostrate, other trainees were forced to throw dirt over him, Magnani Stars In Film To Be On At Islander Internationally famed Anna Mag- nani, star of the forth-coming dra- ma “Volcano,” which is slated to open tomorrow at the Islander Theatre, is almost as well-known for the temperament and excite- ment in her private life as for her inspired performances in such films as “Open City” and “The Miracle.” And this is not by acci dent. The tempestuous virtuousity of her screen wrk is a reflection of Magnani’s private life, the more true because she exercises rigorous control over what she will play and what she won't. Born in direst poverty, brought up on the streets of Rome, Mag- nani early began to think of acting as a way out, an escape from her slum realities, Her first step up was as a night club singer, spe- cializing in Roman street songs. For a time she toured in vaude- ville, stilling singing. Her drama- tic career started early in the thirties with the lead in the Ita- lian productions of ‘Anna Christie” “Petrified Forest” and “Mrs, War- ren's Profession.” For a long while Magnani went on playing second-rate parts in sec- ond-rate movies, The turning point came in 1943 with a pair of come- dies starring Aldo Fabrizi — es- tablishing Magnani as a come. dienne! But “Open City” soon changed that. Since then she has had her choice of roles, and she chooses rather for the demands that they make upon her talents than for the ease with which she might play a part Appearing with her in the film | which William Dieterle produced | and directed for United Artists re- | lease are Rossano Brazzi, Geral- dine Brooks, Eduardo Ciannelli and Enzo Staiola. a | Your Grocer SELLS That Good | STAR * BRAND | sacupan COFFEE | SVRONG ARM BRAND COFFERS) Triumph } Coffee Mill a ALL GROCERS |*BEEF °PORK ° LAMB | Second BIG WEEE!
