Army to Let Gen. Watt Retire,
Restore Gen. Fe|dmon to Duty
As Result of 5-Percenter Probe
Secretary Finds No
Conduct Justifying
Court-MurtiuI

Army Secretary Gray an
nounced today that Maj. Gen.
Alden H. Watt, who, with Maj.
Gen. Herman Feldman, was in
volved in a Senate subcommittee
investigation of inf1uence-peddling
"fve-percenters," would be retired
but that Gen. Feldman would be
restored to duty.
Gen. Watt, Sc, has been chief
of the Chemical Corps and Gen.
Feldman is the Army quarter
master general.
Mr.. Gray said complete inves-
tigation of reports which caused
the temporary relief from duty of
the two generals on July 16 re-
suited in the following decisions:
ITO approve Maj. Gen. Waits
application for retirement"
ITO restore Maj. Gen. Feldman
to duty today"
Retires at Present Rank.
Secretary Gray said he had
studied the record carefully and
had talked at length with Gen.
Watt.
II found no evidence of dis
honesty or conduct justifying trial
by court-martial," he continued.
II did find that during a period
of 30 years Gen. Watt served the
Army honestly and faithfully and
has made major professional con-
tributions toward the develop
ment of the Chemical Corps"
However, in view of his recent
irregular actions which have been
the subject of congressional in
quiry, have decided that it would
not be to the best interest OF the
service for him to continue his
duties as chief of the Chemical
Corps. have restored him to duty
and have approved his application
for immediate retirement. Fur
ther, in consideration of Gen.
Watts previous good record, l
have ordered him placed on the
retirement list in his present rank,
which I am authorized to do by
law"
Feldman Goes Back to Post.
Gen. Waits tour of duty as
Chemical Corps chief expires No
vember 20.
The action with reference to
Gen. Feldman came on his Goth
birthday.
Mr.. Gray said:
"As for Gen. Feldman, I find
that in some of his relations
with the contractors representa-
tive he committed errors of judg-
ment, which I do not condone,
and which if repeated would dam
age his usefulness as Quarter
master General of the Army. Gen.
Feldman's record of AZ years serv-
ice, during which he rose from
an enlisted man to Quartermaster
General of the Army, is honorable
and efficient. This record and his
conversations with me have con-
vinced me there will be no repiti-
tion of this lapse of judgment and
that he is fully qualified to con-
tinue his assignment. I am grati-
fed, therefore, that I am able
to order him back to duty as
Quartermaster General of the
Army today"
Application Made Today.
Later, Maj. Gen. Floyd L. Parks,
the Army's information chief, said
Gen. Watt had put In his formal
application for retirement only
this morning after conversations
with Mr.. Gray.
He said that the Secretary had
talked with Gen. Watt more
than once" and that the Secre-
tary's action was based on those
conversations together with the
Army inspector generals report
and the record of the Senate sub
committees hearings.

Hungary |ndicts
8 in Coup Plot
Linked 10 Tito
Top Reds Accused of
Seeking YueosIovs'
Armed Assistance
BY the Associoted Press

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Sept. 10.
The Hungarian government to-
day accused eight former high
ranking Communists of treason
and of trying to overthrow the
government with the armed help
of Tito and the other present
leaders of Yugoslavia.'
The eight manipulating for
mer Foreign Minister Laszlo Rajk
and 1t. Gen. Gyorgy Palffy, for
mer chief inspector Of the Hun
garian Army-will go to trial on
the indictment on September 16.
Copies of the indictment were
handed to correspondents several
hours after the Hungarian Work
ers (CommuniSt) Party issued a
communique announcing the ex-
pulsion of three leading party
members and their arrest on
charges of spying "for foreign i'm
perialist powers" The powers
were not named in the communi-
que.
Arrests Announced June Is.
The three were Palffy, Zoltan
Horvath, editor in chief of the
Hungarian trade union neWspa-
per, Nep Szava. and Pal Justus,
former Communist member of
Parliament.
Rajk's arrest on charges of
"Trotzyism" and espionage for
"imperialist powers" was an
nounced June IS, along with
others. Informed sources said
next weeks trial probably would
be the first of a series Of three.
They said many other persons
have been implicated and that a
full list of these would be an
nounced later.
Perhaps the most sensational
charge in today's 34-page indict-
ment was the one that accused
the major defendants of hoping
to carry out their aims with the
armed help of Tito and the other
present leaders of Yugoslavia.
Hungary is one of the Moscow
led group of Cominform nations
which has broken with Premier
Marshal Tito's Yugoslav govern
ment over the issue of obedience
to Moscow.
The indictment was handed
down by Prosecutor Gyula Alapi,
who prosecuted Josef Cardinal
Mindszenty and sent him to jail
for life for treason.
Other Defendants Listed.
Defendants, in addition to Rajk,
Palffy and Justus, are:
Lazar Brankod, 81. former coun-
cilor of the Yugoslav Legation in
Budapest.
DR.. Thor Szoenyi, 46, head of
the section of the Workers Party
which supervises rank and file
members.
Andras Szalai, 80, Szoenyi's
deputy.
Milan Ognyinovic, a Hungarian
subject who is called Yugoslav
spy in the indictment.
Bella Korondy, former army
major and an alleged accomplice
of Gen. Palffy.
