Army Rebukes Walker for Pink Labels Use
The Army rebuked Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker for labeling Truman and leading Democrats as pinks and for claims that the press and radio-TV industry were Communist. The investigation ordered by President Kennedy found Walker’s 24th Division information program not due to John Birch Society, canceled his Texas command, and kept him in current post pending reassignment. The Overseas Weekly had reported on Walker’s remarks and alleged propaganda ties, which he denied as unscrupulous. Kennedy reportedly approved the actions and findings.
