He | was graduated from Virginia Mili- tary Institute with honors 21 years |later. A year after that he commissioned Second Lieutenant in the United States Army and his }varxed (but consistently successful) | military career was under way. The stories about him at V.M.I. are as numerous as the anecdotes of that institution written into the recent play and movie, Rat.” In his “rat,” or freshman, year, he was seriously injured by a bayonet during a hazing incident. But Marshall passed it off without a word of accusation against those responsible. Marshall was graduated without a single demerit, senior captain of his class, fifth in scholastic stand- ing and an all-southern football tackle, | DEFENSE PLAN PRAISED There is another story that while | serving in the Philippines, when he | was a Second Lieutenznt, he drew | up field orders that were later| described by his General as the best plan for the defense of the islands that he had ever seen.

Some Army men wise in the ways of politics told him he was inviting the axe. | But the General went ahead, quietly but firmly brushing the | objecting politicians aside. Each passing month found him another notch higher in the esteem of ‘Congrrs and the civilian corpa working for national defense. | MAKES HASTE SLOWLY The lean, wiry General, with & bit of a squint in his left eye, has been an apostle of “make haste slowly” in the defense program, but ihe never has relaxed his insistence on its expansion. When the vast war games were held in the South last spring (the largest such peacetime maneuver up to that time), General Mar- shall said: “It was a successful ! experiment. It showed us our short- comings.” “That,” said a friend, “is Gen- | eral Marshall.
