Replying to query concerning reports from Frankfurt that Lisut. Gen. Sir Frederick Morgan has not resigned as UNRRA chief in Germany and was still functioning at that post, UNRRA headquarters here today said that it stood by its latter of last Friday, requesting Morgan’s resignation.
An agency spokesman said that Sir Humphrey Gales, personal representatives of Director General Lehman in London, has full power to dismiss Morgan, if he persists in his refusal to resign, as has been reported from London.
(Addressing a press conference in London today, Brig. Charles Mills, former Canadian army officer, who is UNRRA chief in Poland, said that he had not seen any evidence of persecution of Jews in Poland, but was not qualified to comment on Gen. Morgan’s charges.)
