to keep secrets.
It's a special movie made as part
Of what the department calls a pro-
gram for indoctrinating all person
mel in security regulations-a cam-
paign to stop leaks, in everyday
language.
Ironically a large part in prepar-
ing the security indoctrination pro-
gram" was played by the depart
ment's presentation division. Until
dismissed last December 20, Carl
Aldo Marzani was assistant chief OF
that division. Marzani was indicted
by the District Court grand jury

community activity.

It Is the first time Mr.. Truman has
put himself on record assailing Mr.
Wallace's widely publicized cam
paign against, the administration,
foreign policy, and signifies an open
break between them.
Up to now, the President has
maintained close-lipped silence In
public regarding Mr.. Wallace. Even
Democratic State leaders who have
visited him recently have been un-
able to draw him out on the subject
Except to closest White House irlti-
mates, Mr.. Truman has kept his
views to himself.
Around the White House it has
been understood for some time that
the President felt very strongly
about Mr.. Wallace. But it was also
believed the President wanted to
avoid an open break. It is known
that at least one high official of
the Democratic National Committee
strongly advised against such a
course.
The Starr letter indicates the
Presidents patience was finally
exhausted and he decided to meet
Mr.. Wallace's challenge head-on.
The letter to the VFW head was
in response to a letter Mr.. starr
personally delivered to the Presi-
dent urging him to revoke Mr.. Wal
lace's passport and compel him to
return to the United States. Mr..
Starr Is vigorously opposed to Mr..
Wallaces views and has repeatedly
denounced him. Although rock
ribbed Republican" as he describes
himself, Mr.. Starr is a strong sup
porter OF the so-called Truman
doctrine.

ally with Mr.. May" Gen. Marshall
testified after explaining how he fre-
quently held meetings with groups
which included May.
There probably was some discus
sion in March and May and also In
october, 1914, with these groups
concerning the urgent need for in
creases in our ammunition pro-
gram" Gen. Marshall said.
"At any conference at which MAY
was present did you ever discuss
ammunition requirements as re-
ported to you by Gen. Eisenhower?
Charles j. Margiotti, chief counsel
for the Garssons, asked.
Discussed In Secret Meeting.
"In a secret meeting with leaders
Of Congress in the fall of 1914" Gen
Marshall replied, Il discussed the
urgent need for such increases as
reported by Gen. Eisenhower"
At this point. Special Prosecutor
William Paisley asked Gen. Marshall: !:
WAS there a great demand for
ammunition in 1882"
I'VE made very heavy cutbacks on
ammunition in 1945," the former
Army chief of staff answered.
In reply to another question along
this line, Gen. Marshall said he did
not recall having discussed with
congressional leaders in 1945 any
problem of increasing ammunition
production.
On Stand Is Minutes.
Gen. Marshall was on the stand
about Is minutes. After telling of
his military service prior to becom-
ing Secretary of State last January
he said he frequently came into con-
tact with May during the war.
He added, however, that practical
ly all of his meetings with the chair
man of the House Military Affairs
Committee were in connection with
committee hearings or group con-
ferences either at the Pentagon or
the Capitol. He said he did not re-
call ever having conferred alone
with May at the Pentagon.
In addition to testifying that he
knew nothing about the war time
relationship between May and the
Garssons he also answered nothing
whatever In reply to questions by
MIR. Paisley whether he knew any,
thing about the Batavia Metal Prod
ucts, Inc, and the Erie Basin Metal
Products, Inc, or the Cumberland
Lumber Co.
The Batavia and Erie companies
were Illinois aff1liates of the Carson
chain. The lumber company, accord
ing to Government charges, was
used by the Garssons as a setup for
of bribes to May in return
for war time favors he allegedly
obtained for them. May declares
he acted simply as Kentucky agent
for the Garssons at the lumber COM
pany and kept no money.
All Vouch for Reputation.
The members of Congress who
testified for May were Representa-
uVes johnson, Republican. Of Cali
fornia; Martin, Republican. of Iowa;
Chapman. Democrat, of Kentucky;
and Bates, Democrat. of Kentucky.
All said his reputation was good. I"
When May left the stand late yes
