PATTON EPISODE
GENERAL EISENHOWER’S REPORT. (By Association—Copyright) WASHINGTON, November 27. General Eisenhower has reported that Lieutenant-General Patton was guilty of “reprehensible conduct” to two enlisted men. Both men were suffering from nervous disorder, and one had a temperature. General Eisenhower's report has been submitted to the Senate by Senator Reynolds, chairman of the Senate Military Committee. This states that General Eisenhower believes that General Patton has great usefulness in any assault where loyalty, drive and gallantry by a commander are essential. General Patton was warned by General Eisenhower that any repetition of his conduct would result in him being instantly relieved of his command. Immediately General Patton made a full apology to the two soldiers concerned and to those present when the incidents occurred.
General Eisenhower concluded: “It has been reported to me that in General Patton's every recent appearance before soldiers he has been greeted with thunderous applause.” . . .
