log from cowardice to treason
able acts.
These objections to the book
were outlined oy tsng. uen.
Frank Dorn, army deputy chief
of information, in a letter read
at Voorhees' trial on charges
of evading censorship and dls-
oherina a command.
Dora's letter said tnat tne
hook contained numerous pas
sages which violated propriety
and were in conflict with army
Doltey.
He menuonea we auesuun
that MacArthur personally "was
guilty of a most serious security
break which proved coauy in
casualties sustained by United
Nations forces, in an effort to
obtain newspaper publicity."
Dora's letter was addressed
to Lt Gen. Joseph M. Swing,
commanding general of the
Sixth army at San Francisco.
It was Swing wno oraerea
Voorhees, then stationed at Se
attle, to withdraw his manu
script from the publisher until
lt had been given required army
clearance.
Dorn, called to the witness
stand, said he read only two
chapters of the book manu
script, those called Tne uen-
erals," and "The Press."
Dorn said he told voornees
that parts of these chapters vio
lated army policy and could not
be cleared unless changed.
In the chapter on "The Gen
erals", Voorhees said MacAr
thur, then United Nations su
preme commander, was the
source of "one of the most ser
ious breaches of security to oc
cur during the war."
Voorhees said oincers were
amazed when MacArthur flew in
from Tokyo in February, 1951,
and said, without restriction on
release,- that preparations were
being made for an stuck oy tne
Eighth army.
Voorhees said that, therefore,
stories which the censors felt
should be withheld, were passed.
Voorhees said that on Feb.
22, Korean time, a MacArthur
communique "broke a 223 Vi
hour security blackout" by an
nouncing that the Eighth army
was about to strike.
