"Marines", 1950
File — Box: 178, Folder: 38
Scope and Contents
Correspondence protesting President Truman's statement in a publicized letter concerning the creation of a Marine Corps independent of the Navy in which he said "The Marine Corps is the Navy's police force, and as long as I am president, that is what it will remain. They have a propaganda machine that is almost equal to Stalin's." President Truman later apologized for his wording.
