U.S. F-86 Saber Jet Sets New World Speed Record level passes yesterday over a mea Melvin B. Voorhees, Army censor in Korea accused of writing a book that wasn't censored, will be court martialed here. Second Army headquarters announced yesterday that it would push charges against Voorhees for his book, "Korean Tales, which, in his own words "took a slap at a large part of the correspondents corps, which I felt was violating security and endangering lives." is charged with failing to submit a manuscript of his book to the Department of Army for review and disregarding the order of his commanding officer to withdraw the book from publication. The charges were filed by Gen.

Joseph Swing, commander of the Sixth Army on the West Coast but the investigation was switched here so Gen. Swing would not have to act as both prosecutor and judge. Voorhees said his book, published Armistice Day, ran into a "one-general barrier" in the person of Brig. Gen. Frank Dorn, deputy information officer at the Pentagon in Washington.

Voorhees contends Dorn opposed the book because "he said I had no right to write a story which reflected against Gen. Mac-Arthur." Gen. Dorn denied this. He and his staff spent three days going over the book with Voorhees and ordering changes in "certain parts that were not suitable," Dorn said. No date has been set for the court martial but it will be held "in the near future." Voorhees is a former editor of the Tacoma, Times' and has served with the Army 10 years as a reserve officer." During the period covered by his book he was chief censor for the Eighth 'Army in Korea.
