exp::esscd tncir concern to me tha"t girl& were said t;o b~ hit as a
n.atter of couroo . I have said to Hr. Grecmham tha~ I hnve been told
of this by many {Iirls but he 3ai1l he had not bcec told by any of the
girls .
i"ost ~irls have believed that they \>·oul<l he assault.-c! if
they raisbehaved and 1vcrc not cwnre that the DP.partt~er. t di.d not allow
inmntefi to be struck. The frequency of Cvl!!!!le;~ts b;r rirls was sue!'!
thot. I can recall onl;v the rnoot notable clair.:s by the girls .
