Truman’s Unique Power as Controller of Atom Bomb
(Rec. 10.45). WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. Reporters at the press conference interpreted General Marshalls remark that the President had “a very special position”, as an indication that General Marshall was convinced that the Soviet did not have the atomic bomb. When asked what he meant, General Marshall replied that the Presidents position was unique in all the world. But he would not elaborate. The reporters clearly understood that he meant that President Truman is the only human being who has final control of the atomic bomb.
