Howard McGrath is being groomed for resignation. Much of the evidence, indirect as it was, came from President Tru man himself, and his non-commit tal attitude toward McGrath’s con tinuance as head of the Justice De partment. What appeared to be a White House chill toward McGrath start ed when the President fired T. La mar Caudle as head of the Justice Department's tax division without even consulting McGrath. ' DEFENDED CAUDLE Even after Caudle was rapped publicly by the President for “out side” activities and raked over the coals by a House Ways and Means subcommittee looking into tax scandals, McGrath still defended his former assistant. Against this background. th» President wai asked yesterday at a pews conference about a report that he had received written word from McGrath that the Attorney General wanted to quit. The President, speaking from a prepared memorandum, said he was not going to answer the ques tion because there had been so many rumors that he could not pos sibly answer all of them.
