Republican staff report sparks Senate split in War Investigations
Washington December 3 A Republican move to publish a staff investigator report on conditions in the American occupation zone of Germany triggers a partyline split in the Senate War Investigation Committee. Chairman Kilgore criticizes the release as not committee issued, cites hearsay, and notes a letter from Secretary Patterson opposing publication. In Germany, information suggests the report relies on unsworn statements and hearsay. Kilgore dismisses resignations and remains as chair amid the controversy.
