Astonishing Corelessness

An enlisted man who fell asleep at his post
In Korea was given long sentence by q court
martial. In sharp contrast is the punishment so
far meted out to major general who hgura-
lively fell asleep at his post in Europe thereby
committing an offenSe far more damaging to
his country than the recent incident in Korea.
Major General Robert w. Grow, who, ac-
cording to Army accounts, was astonishingly
indiScreet and careless In his assignment as
Military Attache in Moscow, has not asNyet been
court-martialed or otherwise disciplined except
Tor his replacement by another man and his
reassignment to personnel job at the Penta-
gon. However, the Army says the matter still
Is under investigation.
It should be investigated thoroughly. Gen.
eral Grows side of the story should be fully
explored. Against his side is the almost unbe-
hevable fact that the generals personal diary,
with jottings that make fine propaganda for the
Russians, was left unguarded In a room in
Frankfurt where Soviet agents evidently found
it and photographed it. Belatedly the Army
has moved to ban the" keeping Of personal
diaries by military personnel abroad. Such a
ban was in effect all during World War II. Why
1t was lifted in an era Of tense cold war-and
in an area known to abound in Red spies-is
hard to understand. The Army must share the
blame for the carelessness which has resulted
In an international incident that ordinary COM
mon sense might have averted.
