WHISTLED THEMSELVES INTO TROUBLE
Received Sunday, .8 p.m. NEW YORK, August 11. The traditional. G.I. wliistle with which a strolling group of American servicemen greeted Peruvian girls at Talara, Northern Peru, has caused international complications wliich may deprive the United States of the continued use of a strategic airbase in Peru, states Ihe Jlerald-Tribune. The girls' Peruvian escorts resented tlie wliistle and a fight developed in which severn! men were injured . including an American sergeant. More nationalistic Peruvians demand that the American soldiers sliould he tried in Peruvian courts instead of by ihe United* States Army. Some hothoaded Peruvian legislators urge tliat negotiations for the continued use of tlie Talara airbase by the United States should be discontinued unless thej ofl'ending Americail soldiers are tried by j Peruvian courts.
