The Star reports that secret diary entries by James V. Forrestal, then secretary of the navy, show he intervened in the Amerasia magazine case in 1945 to keep President Truman fully informed. It notes Forrestal acted on his own initiative, fearing embarrassment for Truman over Russia and the U N during San Francisco talks, and sent directives to FBI Director Hoover and White House aide Vardaman. Forrestal’s notes are to be reviewed by a Senate subcommittee amid McCarthy era probes.
