Truman DenOunces
Attack on Loyalty
OF Gen. Marshall
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Former
President Truman, commenting
on award of a Nobel Peace Prize
to Gen. George C. Marshall. said
last night the Republican at
tack on Gen. Marshall's loyalty
was zone of the dirtiest tricks
that ever happened"
Mr.. Truman, in a filmed tele-
vision interview on Edward r.
Murrow's CHS show, made the
statement after he was asked:
Can you ever find it in your
heart to forgive that little hand
full of men in public life who
attacked Gen. Marshall's per-
sonal loyalty and patriotiSm?"
He replied with an emphatic
NO" and said:
1.-The man who made that at
tack wasn't fit to shine Gen.
Marshall's shoes"
Started by Jenner.
The attack on Gen. Marshall,
growing out of his activities in
China, was started by Senator
Jenner, Republican, of Indiana,
in late 1850 when he called Gen.
Marshall "a living lie"
The attack was later taken up
by others, including Senator Nc
Carthy, Republican, of WiScon-
sin, who charged Gen. Marshall
sided with the Russians and was
"steeped in falsehood."
Mr.. Truman said in the inter-
view filmed at Kansas City, Mo-,
that Gen. Marshall's greatest
contribution to history was the
Marshall Plan for European aid,
originated while Gen. Marshall
was Secretary OF SCaCe.
He said the key to Gen. Mar
shall's greatness was that he
always did his best on any job
he was given.
The Man for the Place.
Usually when there is an
emergency, SO far as our repub-
lis is concerned" Mr.. Truman
said, history will show you that
q man usually appeared to fill
the role that it was necessary
for him to fill.
Gen. Marshall was the man
for the place and he was there
when the time came"
Asked if he thought universal
world peace would ever be at
tanned. Mr.. Truman replied:
Il think we can look forward
to the time when we will have
world peace. At least that's
what I spent eight years of my
life working for. That's what
Gen. Marshall has spent the best
part of his life working for"
