Army Ousts Yank Editor
New York reports Maj. Hartzell Spence has been removed as editor of Yank the Army weekly amid an ongoing dispute over editorial direction.

A Legion protest accusing the piece of bias sparked the controversy. Spence, author of One Foot in Heaven, is replaced temporarily by Sgt. Joseph McCarthy.
