was rejected by the Secretary
of the Army.

military service at this time, !"
he said in that resignation,
with this 18th column) con-
spiracy and its influences on
the home front"
Hoped for Different Result
The general said he had
hoped and prayed that the
Army would not become in
volved in that non-military
issue"
His current resignation re-
quest said, in part:
cold war efforts, indoc-
trination and training have
been unrealistically suppressed
and censored, in spirit and in
fact with and without intent,
and are not in consonance with
the existing state of war, infil-
tration and aggression, in pro-
viding the security and protec-
ton of the nation or the soldier
from exposure to the enemy"
On the matter of censorship
of the military, the general said
in his statement to the Senate
Subcommitte:
"Evn before this subcommit-
tee was directed to study cen
sorship, there had been much
public concern reflecting a long
period Of interest in the terms
of censorship VS.. the terms for
survival. That public interest
concerned itself with areas ex-
tending back through Gems.
Stilwell, Patton, Patch, Mac
Arthur, Gen. Walton Walker,
and Gen Van Fleet, to the pres
ent date. These are all areas
of public and national interest
during my time of service, and
are properly part of an investi-
CATION of censorship of officers,
non-commissioned officers, and
soldiers in the performance of
their missions and duties in
behalf of national security on
present-day terms.
Censorship as it pertains to

can be traded through three
decades.
Even our free press is ex-
plotted by Communist propa-
gandists. Communist collabora-
tors find rabid and militant
defense among certain groups
of our citizens, some of whom
are sincerely confused and mis-
guided. Governments which op-
pose the leaders of these
groups and their purposes often
are branded reactionary. In
other nations of our hemi-
sphere. we have seen these
groups seize absolute power. In
Cuba. it was with our help"
On the matter of indoctrina-
tion of troops, he said:
1T has been suggested that
discussion and consideration of
domestic civilian matters are
not within the province of the
military. I disagree. Soldiers
come to US from civilian life
and sooner or later will return
to civilian life. I submit, there
fore, that they should be per-
mitted to know. without inter-
ruption, what is going on at
home, and abroad, for their
interest and the interest Of the

Mai. Gen. Edwin A. Walker,
who was disciplined on charges
of indoctrinating his soldiers
with political material that
followed the line of the ultra
conservative John Birch So
ciety. has quit the Army with
a blast at his critics.
In a statement sent to the
Senate Preparedness Subcom-
mittee, the 51-year-old West
Pointer said he was resigning
and passing up all retirement
benefits because Il must be free
from the power Of little men
who, in the name of my coun-
try, punish loyal service to it."
The general was relieved Of
the command of the oath Di-
vision in Germany and ordered
to a subordinate post in the
Pacific Command after an in
veStigation of the political in
doctrination charges. He now
is on leave in San Antonio, Tex.
He confirmed his resignation
to The Star late yesterday but
declined to make any comment
beyond the long statement he
sent the Senate subcommittee.
Later he told the Associated
Press: when my plans de-
velop I suspect I may have some
statements to make"
The subcommittee plans to
start hearings November 81 on
his case and other reports of
censorship" of statements by
military men.
In his statement made public
today by the office of Senator
Thurmond, Democrat Of South
Carolina, Gen. Walker said:
MY career has been de-
stroyed in its usefulness to my
country. -. must find other
means Of serving my country
in the time of her great need,
in order to pursue the dedica-
ton of a lifetime"
The general has served more
than 80 years in the Army and
is eligible for retirement pay
of more than $4,000 a year. But
he said. Il cannot accept re-
tirement with its emoluments
and benefits. To do so would
be a compromise with my prin-
ciple."
The Army said last night it
had not yet received the res
ignation. When it is received,
it was said, the resignation
will be acted on promptly"
Gen. Walker has become the
center of a storm over the right
Of military men to speak out
against communism, both for
eign and domestic. Senator
Thurmond has charged that
officers are being muzzled in
their attempts to alert the
country against communism.
Senator Fullbright, Democrat
Of Arkansas, has said that
some military men have be-
come involved in political ac-
ton. The Senate subcommittee
expects to study the broad
censorship problem.
