fact he never held “squirrel-head
ed” generalship responsible for the
way allied landings were carried
out below Rome in 1943-44.
He had been quoted as saying
the Salerno and Anzio landings
were unnecessary “and planned by
some squirrel-headed general,” also
that there were a lot of easier
places that could have been chosen
for beachheads.
“I would make no comment like
that,” the fprmer president told
reporters.
“I had been listening to the con
versation of several people who
had been there. I am very sorry
about it. But it’s an embarrass
ing situation and I hope you’ll
clear it up.”
Truman’s secretary, Eugene Bai
ley, earlier had reported Truman
made “a complete denial” of the
quotations attributed to him Tues
day night. When reporters asked
Truman himself about that, he
said:
“I don’t want to embarrass any
body, especially people who are
with me and reporting on me. I
never scold anybody when things
don’t go straight and I wish you
would clear it up.”
Fred Zusy, Associated Press re
porter who is accompanying the
Truman party during its tour of
Italy, said Truman had been quot
ed accurately.
“My quotes were copied while
the President was speaking to me
by word as he spoke the quotes are
as reported.” A United Press re
porter filed a similar story of Tru
man’s comment and stood by it yes
terday.
Bailey said Truman had spoken
with Michael Chinigo of Interna
tional News Service and that the
criticism voiced was Chinigo’s.
“It could not be true that the|
President told Zusy that,”
Bailey said. “He must have said
that was what Chinigo had told
him.”
