Maryland sailor says troops back MacArthur plan in East Asia
William H. Evans Jr a Navy ensign stripped of his commission for calling the Truman policy pro Communist says most officers and enlisted men in the Pacific agree with him that the State Department is the enemy and MacArthur's war program should be followed. He says he told Kohlberg many armed forces in the Orient share his views and that a majority assured him he was right. The Navy says Evans violated policy by distributing his open letter and faced disciplinary action. Evans, Annapolis graduate of 1948, says his oath required him to write the letter.
