Army suspends instructors
BONN, Germany - The U.S. Army relieved three male instructors of their duties after 11 female soldiers accused them of sexual abuse and harassment, indicating that a sex scandal in the service has spread overseas.
Two of the instructors at the Darmstadt training center have been in custody since Feb. 7 after allegedly trying to influence one woman's testimony, Army officials said yesterday.
The third suspect was ordered not to contact any victim or potential witnesses at the training center, which is south of Frankfurt.
Sex scandal surfaces at German center
The Associated Press
It is the most serious sex-abuse scandal to hit a U.S. military installation in Germany in years. At least some of the alleged acts happened after accusations of sexual misconduct surfaced at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland last November, which led to the appointment of a panel to investigate the extent of the problem in the Army.
The women in Germany accused the instructors, all noncommissioned officers, of sodomy, indecent assault, cruelty and maltreatment of subordinates, Army officials said in response to an inquiry by The Associated Press.
The training center offers a twoweek course attended by all soldiers with the 233rd Base Support Battalion and other units around Darmstadt. About 30 students at a time receive instructions in life in Germany and support services available to them.
Terry Viedt, representative for the 233rd, said she could not reveal details of the allegations because the investigation was not completed.
*Stars and Stripes, the unofficial newspaper for the U.S. military, reported earlier this week that two women said they had been sodom-
The two students drank with the instructors. One of the women said she was tired and went to sleep. The other woman had consensual sex with one of the instructors, but has accused him of sodomizing her despite her objections, Stars and Stripes said.
That incident occurred at the barracks room of one of the instructors, the newspaper said. The two women went there voluntarily after encountering the two men at a military bar, the newspaper said.
ized by two instructors on Dec. 27.
Military officials are attempting to find and interview all women who were students at the training center when the three instructors taught there, the newspaper said. One of the instructors arrived last August and the two others in October.
The other woman said she woke up later and found herself naked with the other instructor on top of her engaging in sexual intercourse, and she alleged she also was sodomized, the newspaper said.

News organizations get green light in Cuba
WASHINGTON — The Clinton administration gave the goahead yesterday for 10 U.S. news organizations to open bureaus in Cuba. Administration officials said it would focus more attention on the shortcomings of communist Cuba.
So far, only CNN has permission from the Cuban government.

The Cuban Foreign Ministry said that the other media applications, including one from The Associated Press, would be reviewed.
No U.S. news outlet has had a permanent bureau in Cuba since the AP was expelled from the island in 1969.
The administration acted after influential conservatives, including Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jesse Helms, R-N.C., said that they would have no objection to the
White House representative Mike McCurry said that the administration action was in keeping with a policy dating back to October 1995 supporting an increased flow of accurate information to, from and within Cuba.
He said that the administration believed reporting by U.S. news organizations would keep international attention focused on the situation in Cuba and on the realities of economic and political conditions there.
"It also will bring greater public exposure to those who are advocating a democratic change in Cuba," he said.
Wal-Mart takes strike one in its union-free life
TORONTO — Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's biggest retailer, has lost a labor dispute in Ontario and must deal with a union for the first time at any of its 2,736 stores.
The Associated Press
A provincial labor board ruled Tuesday that Wal-Mart subtly threatened to close its Windsor branch if workers voted to unionize.
The workers rejected unionization by a 151-43 margin last May, but the outcome was meaningless because of deliberate efforts to threaten job security, the board said.
Wal-Mart, which refers to its employees as associates, has defeated every unionization attempt since it was founded in Arkansas by Sam Walton in 1962. It has relied heavily on stock incentives to motivate its relatively low-paid employees.
