WASHINGTON, D. C., AUG. 8

The War Department will be asked to furnish full particulars to the Senate Military Affairs Committee on the breakdown of morale among Merrill's Marauders, the famous Burma-India jungle fighters, Chairman Robert R. Reynolds, (D-N. C.) said tonight.

Long delayed official verification of the morale troubles came last Sunday and revealed that because of "unauthorized and ill-advised promises" of early relief and wholesale promotion - promises which were not kept - morale broke down among the jungle fighters.

Reynolds said he would request by letter from the Secretary of War Stimson full information on the incident which he characterized as "one of the war's most stupid errors."
