source who first tipped of the
fact that Secretary johnson was
to be dropped, Mr.. Truman was
unmoved by the attacks on the
secretary. In fact, the President
repeatedly expressed confidence
in Mr.. johnson, and only recently
said that both he and Secretary
Acheson. another target. would
be around as long as he stayed in
the White House.
But when the President got re-
ports that the Defense Secretary
was carrying on an undercover
campaign against Secretary Ache
son, he was moved to act.
While the JohnSon-Acheson re-
lations were being debated, Repre-
sentative Tauriello, Democrat, Of
New York, demanded that Mr..
johnson resign, accusing him in
one letter of dealing with gossip
which led to the resignation Of his
predecessor as Defense Secretary,
James v. Forrestal, who committed
suicide short while after quitting
the cabinet.
This letter brought a defense of
Mr.. johnson from President Tru-
man, when the matter came up
at a news conference.
James Roosevelt Involved.
Actually. there were portents of
trouble before Mr.. johnson came
into the cabinet on March %,
1949. A wealthy West Virginia
lawyer, who had also headed the
American Legion, Mr.. johnson
was Assistant Secretary Of War
in the Roosevelt cabinet a decade
ago, but left after a battle with
Secretary Harry Woodring over
the issue Of mobilization.
There were stories then that

Secretary, and in that connection.
there was an episode known only
to intimates of the President.
AS the story went, Mr.. Johnson
said that James Roosevelt. eldest
son of the President. had prom
ised him the secretaryship. AS the
Woodring- Johnson feud fiared, a
presidential aide went to Mr..
Roosevelt and asked what about it.
The President said firmly that
Mr.. johnson was not to be Secre-
tary. To begin with, he said,
this country was faced with in
volvement in World War II. and
he proposed to appoint a Repub-
lican Secretary of War.
He did just that in 1910, nam
ing Henry L. Stimson, Secretary
of War under President Taft, and
of State under President
Hoover. to head the War Depart
ment. Mr.. Woodring and Mr..
Johnson got out.

Committee Approves Marshall Nomination 1912

the end Of last week, when a
highly placed White House source
said that the principal fund-raiser
of the 1948 Truman campaign
was on his way out because of an
undercover fight with Secretary
of State Acheson.
In the customary exchange of
letters with the President, made
public at the White House at 6::35
o'clock last night, Mr.. johnson
blamed his exodus on the "ene-
mics he had made in 18 months
in Office.
Normally, he said, this would
have no effect, "but today, when
American boys are laying down
their lives in the cause of our ma
tional security and world peace,
it seems to me that the country
should have a Secretary of De-
tense who does not suffer under
the handicap of the enemies
have acquired during the 18
months I have served as a men,
ber of your Cabinet"
Responding. Mr.. Truman said
that lin the terribly regrettable
circumstances which have arisen,
I feel that I must concur in your
Judgment and accept your prof
fered resignation"
Mr.. johnson, SO, will leave the
Pentagon next Tuesday.
His resignation creates va
cancieS in the two top defense
spots, since Deputy Secretary
Stephen T. Early resigned yester-
day morning, effective September
80, to return to his post as vice
president of Pullman Standard,
Inc. Mr.. Early had been trying
since early spring to persuade Mr..
Truman to permit him to leave.
There were reports that Robert
A. Lovett, a Republican who
served under Gen. Marshall as
Undersecretary of State, and who
was Assistant Secretary of War
for Air during World War II,
might get the deputy's spot.
In replacing Secretary johnson
with Gen. Marshall-who now
lives on a farm at Leesburg, Va,
and is serving in his second year
as head of the Red Cross-Presi-
dent Truman is moving to allay a
storm that for months has Swirled
about the administration.
The retiring Defense Secretary
fought with the top brass in the
Navy over unification; was &C
cused of trying to impose the
military point of view on the con-
duct of this country's foreign pol
icy. and became the target of criti-
cism in and out of Congress for
defense economies when American
forces suffered repeated setbacks
in Korea.

Red Cross officials emphasized
that the general is not coming
out Of retirement-that he has
worked like q beaver for their
organization, travelling $4,000
miles on the job. He is expected
to resign as Red Cross president
when he takes over the defense
job.
This is the third time since
retiring as Army Chief of staff
that Gen. Marshall has answered
President Truman's call to high
Office.
For him it means again giving
up retirement he cherished after
playing a leading part in ham,

Germany in World War II.
1t was characteristic of the 60

that he accepted the call-the

Simpler Inscription Suggested
For Unknown Soldiers Tomb

A new inscription for the Tomb
of the Unknown Soldier when 1t
becomes the resting place Of un-
known service men of both World
Wars was suggested yesterday.
The Defense Department re-
ceiyed a suggestion that it use
the words:
Here rest in honored glory
American warriors known but to
God" This would replace the
planned:
Here rest in honored glory
members of the American armed
forces of the World Wars known
only to God"
Harold G. Stagg, editor Of the
Vet-Times, an unofficial veterans
affairs newspaper, made the sug-
gestion following publication of an
editorial in The Star Thursday
asking that something better" be
used.
The present inscription reads
Here rests in honored glory an
American soldier known but to
God" But when the unknown
serviceman of World War II is
buried directly beneath the Un-
known Soldier of World War I on
May 80. 1851, the department an
nounced, it would change the in
scription.
The department said that Mr.
Stages suggestion would be given
consideration. A spokesman added
that no other protests as to the in
scription had been received to
date.
In the past a common criticism
Evening star., 1950-06-25

of the inscription has revolved
around the use of the word but. y
1t has been pointed out the con-
structive results in an ambiguity
and could be read to indicate a
knowledge except on the part OF
God.
Mr.. Stagg wrote The Star
that substitution of his inscrip-
ton for the departments "un-
wieldly and unpoetic" proposed
wordage would retain all the
poetry and simplicity OF the
present inscription while at the
same time meeting the need to
infer the inclusion of members
of the armed forces other than
soldiers"
The unknown of the last wal
may be from either the Army,
Navy, Air Force. Marine Corps OF
Coast Guard. The selection from
among six unidentifiable war dead
will take place at independence
Hall in Philadelphia on May 26
1851. The unknown then will rest
in state in the Capitol rotunda
until the state burial at Arlington
Cemetery.

VA. EXPLAINS DEADLINE
FOR G. /. EDUCATION
AND TRAINING

The deadline for most veterans
for starting a course of education
and training under the G. L. bill
is Is months away-on July %,
1851.
A majority of veterans will not
be permitted to begin CT. bill
courses after that date, the VA.
said. An exception has been made
for those discharged after July 25,
1947, and those who enlisted or re-
enlisted under the armed forces
voluntary recruitment act (be-
tween October 6, 1915, and Oc-
totber 5, 1946).
Veterans who have started and
actually are pursuing CT. bill
training on July 25, 1851, are not
affected by the deadline. They
have a right to continue their
courses, even though they may
have temporarily interrupted the
course for summer vacation or
for reasons beyond their control.
Once a veteran completes or dis
continues his program for CT. bill
training after the 1851 date, he
may not start another course.
After the entrance cutoff date
veterans will be expected to pursue
their training continuously until
completion, except for conditions
