Grow, charged with letting his "war now" diary fall Into Communist hands, went on trial Wednesday before a high-ranking Army courts martial board. A board of three lieutenant generals and five major gener als met behind closed doors to decide the military future of the 57-year-old former U.S. military attache in Moscow. The trial was secret "because of the classified nature of much of the evidence to be presented by both sides," the Army said. Center of Incident Grow became the center of an international incident earlier this year when Communist pro pagandists began publishing militant passages from his per sonal diary in an effort to sup port their "war mongering charges" against the United States. The diary allegedly was stol en by a "Soviet agent" from a hotel room last summer while Grow was visiting in Frankfurt, Germany. New Regulations The incident resulted in Grow's recall and stiff new regulations barring U.S. mili tary officers from keeping di aries while in foreign countries. He had served as military at tache in Moscow from July, 1950, to last Jan. 20. Grow faced charges of impro perly recording classified infor mation in personal papers and failing to safeguard secret in formation. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of five years and dismissal from the Army.
