Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson has emphasized that Major Michael Grazynski, anti-Semitic Polish officer, who is now a student at the School of Military Government at Charlottsville, Virginia, will never be employed by the United States Government. The school is training military administrators for countries liberated from the Nazis.
“It is not contemplated that Major Grazynski will ever hold any position in our own Government,” the Secretary of War assured Congressman Emanuel Celler, “Upon his leaving the school, he will revert to whatever status he occupied before entering it.” Secretary Stimson also added that “energetic steps will be taken to determine Major Grazynski’s fitness to continue as a student at the School.” At present the Provost Marshal General, under whose direction the school is operated, is conducting an investigation of the Grazynski case. The Polish major was admitted to the school at the request of the Polish Government-in-Exile.
