I'm looking for any info on a supposed conspiratorial group within the War Dept during WW II, called The Twelve Apostles. It included Truman Smith, Macguire, and Clayton, while other members are not mentioned.

I get this from a VENONA decrypt, http://www.nsa.gov/docs/venona/docs/July43/12_July_1943_R4_m1_p1 .gif

The source, John Alexander Morrison, opined to the KGB informant (Leonards Mins) that The Twelve Apostles were conspiring to install a military dictatorship after the War.

All of this is very much hearsay. Any historians out there able to comment on this alleged conspiracy?
