opening play, "The Tempest."
Festival officials stressed that
opening night ceremonies at the
theatre would be brief, as they
were last year. There will be no
speakers.. Distinguished visitors

Diary-Keeping
General on Trial
By Army Board
Ft. Meade, Md. OJ.R) Maj.
Gen. Robert W. 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.
