OF GI'S FORCED CUSTER

WASHINGTON, July 2. (ANP)
Walton, American minis
tr to Liberia, taking exception to
some published reports that his res
ignation is attributable to pres
sure of thousands of colored army
and navy men recently stationed
in Liberia, accused one publication
with having displayed gross ig-
norance and downright vicious
ness"
His views, based upon clippings
which had been sent him by men,
bers of his family here, were set
forth in letter to the Washington
bureau of the Associated Negro
Press which he praised for it's 'fair
and factuar' handling of the story.
Walton said no colored navy men
have been in Liberia, and he doubt
ed that any Negro army man who
has been there would express the
sentiment contained in one publica-
ton.
The veteran American minister
did not allow himself to be quoted
directly but sighted the presence of
various American agencies which
are now in Liberia aiding in the de-
velopment of that country as attes-
tation of the effectiveness of his
work. His return early this year is
understood to have been influenced
by the desire of the American mill
tary and naval representatives
here.
