be interviewed tonight. When the
subject of his testimony before the In
vestigating Commission was preached,
General Eagan first made clear the
fact that he and he alone was rcspon-
sible for the statements. both as to
facts and language.
II had my own grievance. General
Eagan said "A terrible charge was
brought against me. I was accused of
cheating-no: / mean | was accused of
poisoning soldiers under the pretenSe
Of experiment. If 1t had not been
for that charge 1 might not have
spoken before the commission as l did.
For three weeks ! chafed under the
charge of having poisoned soldiers I'M
der the pretense-yes; under the pre-
tense Of experimenting with chemicals.
II 1t had not been for this charge. per-
haps L would not have used such IAN
guage before the commission. Let
those that criticise my language be
placed in the position in which / was
placed; let them be charged as L was
charged. and they will understand my
language better. 1t is the gored bull
