04:26:22 CU Army 2-star Major-General at mic: “The question of my retirement came up, I don’t know who mentioned it, whether he did or I did; but at that time General Bond (?) did say that he felt I was best qualified for the job, that I should succeed myself. He said that I was only 56 years old, that there was still good service left in me, that he knew of my abilities, that he thought there was a possibility that I might succeed myself.”
04:27:02 “In connection w/ my reappointment?” Senator: Yes. General: “I assumed that as a friend he would give me such assistance as he could, I knew that he knew many people in high positions; I wasn’t counting on Col. Hunt getting me the job.” Senator: “But you would have welcomed any assistance?” General: “I would have welcomed any assistance that I could have gotten...which was proper.” Senator: “And you got did welcome his assistance, is that correct?” General: “I don’t know that he gave me any assistance.” Senator: “But did you seek it?” General: “No, not deliberately seek it.” Senator: “If you didn’t seek it deliberately, did you seek it in any manner?” General: “By implication I don’t know, let me say this: here I am dealing w/ one of my closest friends, I don’t have to ask him for help; I know my friends will do whatever they can for me. I can’t recall asking Col. Hunt James V. at anytime to do anything for me.” Brief shot of committee, including Senator Joseph McCarthy.
