Major Peck Promotion Rejected by Senate
The nomination of Maj. Robert G. Peck to lieutenant colonel was rejected by the Senate in a 39 to 36 vote. Opponents cited derogatory remarks attributed to Peck while with the Thirty-fifth Division in France. American Legion groups and veterans in Kansas and Missouri opposed him over a contested report about his unit. The hearing by the Senate military committee followed charges that were not proven, and Peck faced reprisal for other actions. The dispute, tied to regularity rules, delayed promotions of several officers.
