The findings of former Jurist Edward R. Finch, designated by Attorney General Nathaniel L.

"It was teamwork which eh-' abled the United Nations forces to carry forward to success the greatest- amphibian operations ever conducted in any war." he said, "and I can promise without revealing any military secrets that these combined operations will seem small when offensives now being planned take place."

Commenting on Finch's report, Zuckman said, "I pointed out Tuesday that it pointed to a whitewash.
