They went to school together,
They grew up side by side,
But he never knew he loved her
Till her rich old uncle died.

Who Disagreed
With Marshall
. WASHINGTON. (/P)—Robert C.
Alexander, who disagreed with
secretary of state Marshall over
the danger of admitting commun
ists to this country through the
United Nations, has been charged
with misconduct and neglect of
duty.
The state department has pre
sented the charges in a letter to
Alexander, who is assistant chief
of the visa division.
; Officials said the action is the
1 first of a series of steps whYch
could result in disciplinary action,
possibly including dismissal.
Alexander and two other visa di
vision officials testified before
Senate judiciary committee inves
tigators two months ago that there
was a threat to the national secur- ;
ity in the admission into the U. S. j
of aliens from communist-con
trolled countries as employees of
the United Nations.
Subsequently secretary of state
Marshall told a news conference
he knew of no case in which in
vestigation had showed that there
was any such threat.
Marshall named a committee of
three Washington citizens, how
' ever, to investigate the situation.
Their report presumably lays the
basis for some of th£ charges
which the department has formally
brought.
This report said Alexander and
his associates “had never made a
persistent effort” to bring to the
attention of top department offi
cials the condition which they tes
tified they were disturbed.
The committee also said that
their testimony was “irresponsible
in its lack of factual support.”
