Morse Says Decision
To Leave Korea Was
Made by the Military
BY the Associoted Press

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 28.-Sen-
ator Morse said yesterday the 194S
decision to withdraw American
troops from South Korea was a
military decision and not made by
the State Department, as Gen.
Eisenhower said last Friday in
Detroit.
"It was military decision
signed by James Forrestal, then
Secretary of Defense, and agreed
to unanimously by the Joint
Chiefs of Staff" Senator Morse
told TOO at a students-for-S Steven
son rally at the University of Min
|nesota. "At that time, Eisen-
hover was chief of staff for the
Army"
Senator Morse, who resigned
from the Republican party to cam
Ipaign for the Stevenson-Spark-
man national Democratic ticket,
said the joint chiefs agreed that,
from a military security stand
point, there was little strategic
interest in maintaining troops and
bases in Korea"
The Oregon Senator said he
was reading the ForreStal state
lment from a top secret document
he reported twas made available
to me-" He added the Forrestal
statement had been made in an
lswer to a State Department re-
quest of September Is. 1947. for
Ia clarif1cation of views on mill
Itary policy for Korea.
The Senator charged also that
Eisenhower is responsible for
wasting millions of dollars in the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
ton (NATO) program"
BASED on a long inspection
tour I made of NATO bases" Sen
Iator Morse said. Il think it is
time to explode the myth that
Eisenhower is a great admins
Itrator. Eisenhower's military
background is coming to the fore.
He thinks political campaign is
the same as a military one, one
in which you can accept support,
no matter how reprehensible, in
order to win"

Byrd Protest Move
Develops in Virginia;
Moore Deserts Ticket
By John v. Horner

The political situation In Vir-
yinia was muddled further today
with the detection of another
member of the
Democratic Party and a move to
run up a protest vote against Sem
ator Byrd in next Tuesdays
election.
E. Blackburn Moore, Speaker
Of the Virginia House Of Delegates,
followed the lead of Senator Byrd
and former Gov. William NJ. Tuck
in repudiating the National DEM
ocratic ticket headed by Gov.
Adlai Stevenson and Senator
Sparkman.
A movement got under way in
Newport News. the shipyard labor
center. to scratch Senator Byrd's
name from the ballots and write
in the name of Gov. Battle. The
Democratic Committee in New
port News said the movement Is
definite but not widespread.
A similar undertaking has been
in northern Virginia. but
even some of the most active sup
porters of the Stevenson-Spark-
man ticket denounced the idea.
H. Bruce Green. clerk of the
Arlington County Court and a
Stevenson supporter, said he had
not heard of such movement.
He expressed conviction that Gov.
Battle himself would reject the
proposal that his name be SUBJ
stituted for Senator Byrd's.
Last summer Senator Byrd was
renominated overwhelmingly by
the Democratic Party for another
six-year term. He has no Repub-
lican opposition, but is opposed
by two minor candidates.
The Senator delivered a sharp
criticism of Gov. Stevenson about
10 days ago, saying he would not
indorse his candidacy because Of
too close an association with
"Trumanism." Gov. Battle, a
friend of the Senator and a men,
ber of the Byrd organization. is
working for Gov. Stevenson's elec-
ton over Gen. Eisenhower.
House Speaker Moore. who Is a
Berryville neighbor of Senator
Byrd, charged that Gov. Steven
son has yielded so much ground
and has embraced so much 'Tru-
manism' >. that it has become
difficult to determine whether the
Democratic presidential nominee
is named Adlai Stevenson or
Harry S. Truman"

SECRECY ISSUE - Senator
Case, Republican. of South Da-
kota has charged the White House
with clamping secrecy lid on
the names and salaries of Govern
ment employees.
The situation arose when the
San Francisco Call-Bulletin asked
the Public Housing Administra-
tion for the names and salaries
of all PHA employees. The PHA
refused to give the information to
the newspaper or to Senator Case
when he asked for it.
The PHA refused to give the
data if it was going to be used
in any way that would embarrass
any one.
It don't think Federal employees
need to be ashamed of working
for the Government" Senator
Case said. "It may be that the
administration is ashamed of how
big the public payroll has grown
publication of the names and sal
aries of various groups of Fed
eral employees might help tell that
STORY"
! Senator Case said the secrecy
lid was ordered by the White
House.
1.-THE time has come wher
!, Congress must spell out in law
what is and is not public infor-
nation about Government" he
said. .".4
} The controversy regarding the
publishing of names and salaries
of Federal employees has beer
raging for more than year. The
San Francisco Call-Bulletin, a
! Hearst newspaper opposed to tht
administration, last year obtained
and published the names and sal.

, campaign against OPS.
When the newspaper sought
similar data about employees in the
Veterans Administration and the
PHA, the White House instructed
; the agencies not to give out the
information. White House off.
cials took the view that informa.
tion about the names and salarie!

should be given freely, but not or
