PARIS, July 25—More than 300 jeeps and United States Army Staff cars have been impounded in a two-day anti-joyriding campaign staged by Paris and military police.
At least three Generals' cars were whistled over the curb to the cheers of onlooking GIs and civilians.
The police, operating mostly on the Champs Elysees, Place de la Concorde and Grand Boulevard, stopped all military cars containing civilians—especially mademoiselles—or Army WACs, nurses or Red Cross girls.
A car driven by a Brigadier General was stopped on the Champs Elysees because he was accompanied by a French girl. They left the car and walked away.
M. Ps. are working under orders that mademoiselles are not supposed to be riding around in army cars, and that the only "authorized" women in such vehicles would be "Army nurses in ambulances going to or from an accident. WACS on a military mission, or soldiers and WACs together on organized recreation."
