Marshall’s makes him just that—he ranks s dent Truman in the present administration and is man who would become President if a vacancy occur in the White House during the next two yea For that reason alone, a close look at the suc- cessor to dapper Jimmy Byrnes would be important Zest is added to the study, however, by the world-wide experiences that are compounded into Mar career. the Nation's 51st Secret of Marshall brings to the top cabinet post experience gathered in 44 years of military assignments around the world Adding significance too, is that some Democrats with an eye on 1948, have mentioned Marshall's name privately as among the possible standard bearers if for any reason Mr. Truman should not be the nominee. This is despite lack of any evidence of political ambition cn Marshall's part. So, here is a quick look at Gen. Marshall, soldier turned diplomat: This trim, grey strategist military picture in November, 1945, after directing the creation of the greatest military machine in history, observed his 66th birthday on December 31, 1946. He was born in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, December 31, 1880. Graduated from Virginia Military Institute, he won the bars of a second lieutenant in the Army in 1902. In World War I, Marshall gained a first-hand knowledge of life on the fighting fronts. With the AEF, he faced the German armies at Cantigny, Aisne- Marne, St. Mihiel and in the celebrated Meuse-Ar- gonne operations. In this period, he was successively a member of the First Division general Staff, First Army Chief of Operations and Chief of Staff of the Eighth Army Corps. From 1919 to 1924, he aide to Gen. John J Pershing, famed leader of the AEF in the First World War. The two have maintained a close personal rela- who bowed out of the | tionship through the years and Pershing often is re-| garded as the younger man’s military mentor. The Second World War gave Marshall the chance to prove that he was one of the most brilliant mili- a beneficient augury in the dispatch and unanimity with which the new Senate ratified Gen. Marshall's appointment to the Secref — i willy, e e e Leo O.

Mean- while, both newspapers and radio in all countries need to know just what is being done to create more ade- quate physical facilities for transmissicn—by cable, wireless and telephone—than are now available in Moscow. Furthermcre, the most explicit kind of assur- ance should be given that the Russian Government will attempt to bar no correspondents as “unaccept- able”; that there will be complete freedom of move- ment for these cory pursuit of their day pondents in and the disposition of evidence.

While the USA hasn't appointed as many military men to high jobs as has the USSR we now have gen- erals as our Ambassador to Russia, our Assistant Secretary of State for Enemy Territories, plus our Sec- retary of State; to say nothing of an admiral as Ambassador to Bel- gium, another general as Ambassa- dor to Panama, and three other generals in charge of veterans ad- ministration, Labor Department re- habilitation, and the Office of Temporary Controls.

By and large telieved that the job of the was to fight, not to interfere peacetime affairs Mairshall, himsell, seldom chafed at Congressional criticism. One of the army's severest critics long has been GOP Congressman Albert Engel of Michigan, who once ac- cused the War Department of 30 percent waste in cantonment con- Btruction. Instead of grousing at gadfly Engel, Marshall said: “The Congressman puts ants in cur pants, but he's a damn good inspector.” THE PERSHING CLIQUE Marshall pelongs to the army's so-called Pershing clique. He was Pershing’s favorite young officer, and only a Captain when he exe- cuted the mest brilliant maneuver of the last war, transferring 1,000,- 00 men ircm St. Mfhiel to the Meuse-Argonne {ront, plus 40,000 tons of ammunition, 34 hospitals, 93,000 hor 164 miles of railway and 87 depcts—all in a week’s time without the enem knowi it. It was a great job—though smal compared with some of the gigantic military movements of World War II. Marshall was cnly 36 in the last war. And he was relatively young- 59—when Rocsevelt reached 34 numbers cown the list of Colonels to elevate him to the exalted rank of full General and Chief of Staff.

MARSHALL FOR PRESIDENT In 1944, beiore Roosevelt defin- itely decided to run for a fourth term, there was some talk about nominating Marshall —incidentally talk which Marshall himselt deplor- ed. Naturally, there is also talk now that Truman grooming Marshall his possible successor in 1948. By that time Marshall will be 69, an age generally considered too old for the job of being President However, Marshall has kept him- f in excellent physical trim, is up at 6:30 every morning, rides horse- back for 50 minutes, takes a brief nap after lunch, and holds his so- cial engagements down to the min- imum. Doubtless he could stand the Presidential pace far better than men of his age ances, however, depend largely on is as are going his success This is a to as Secretary of State. new diplomatic world George Mar- shall is entering—a new and tough world that calls for streamlined methods.
