Senate Seeks Battle Trained Officers on Reds in Army
Senate discussions on the Irving Peress case raise the issue of how suspected Communists in the Army should be treated. Sen Mundt urged battle trained officers to decide whether such personnel should face the same risks as patriotic soldiers or be reassigned or discharged. Mundt proposed a Pentagon study and said no Communist should be favored or shielded from hazardous duties. The Peress inquiry, now limited to closed testimony, centers on conflicting statements by Brig. Gen Zwicker and ex-aide Anastos regarding access to secret Army files.
