MARSHALL WANTS ACTIVE COMMAND

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2-General George c.
Marshall, army chief of staff and considered
by United Nationals leaders as one of history S
most brilliant military strategists, personally
desires to assume active leadership in COM
bat of the American forces organized under
his direction.
Despite charges of politics, most of which
are coming from so-called "Old Guard Re-
publicans, the plan of Allied war chiefs to
make General Marshall supreme global COM
mander of United Nations forces is moving
forward. Announcement is expected here "at
the proper time that the chief of staff is
taking over his new post
The Star-News correspondent is also con-
WINGED that the charges of politics-that is,
politics to replace General Marshall with
someone more friendly to the New Deal-
are not justified by the facts The major foun-
dation for politics that may be involved in the
controversy over the proposed change of jobs
Tor Marshall lies in the activity of certain
army brass hats who desire that the chief
OF staff be retained lest the appointment go to
Lieutenant General Brehon B. Sommervell.
Get Busy
When it first Leaked out''-probably through
the ten percent of the army officials who,
President Roosevelt said 'talk too much'-
that plans were under way to make Mar
shall supreme commander of all Allied forces,
certain army brass hats who don't like Som
mervell and who resent his rapid promotion
got busy.
First published charges that the contem-
plated move of Marshall to active combat
leadership were issued in the Army and
Navy Journal, semi-official magazine dealing
with military and naval activity.
The Journal is edited by John 'CaF' o.
Laughlin, prominent newspaperman and form
er first assistant secretary of state under the
administration of the late President Theodore
Roosevelt. O'Laughlin has brilliant record
as Washington correspondent, in which ca
pacity he worked for both the Chicago Tri-
une, now published by Isolationist Colonel
Robert Mccormick, and New York Herald
Tribune, but he's typically "Old Guard and
regarded as a leader among the nation S
so-called "reactionary Republicans
O'Laughlin's charges were taken up on Cap
itol Hill by prominent Republicans who add
ed to them to the point where Secretary OF
War Henry L. Stimson, himself Republican,
Thursday branded as "folly aimed at dis.
crediting the America conduct of the war;
any suggestion that President Roosevelt would
be political or personal consideration IN trans
ferring Marshall to post of personal olrec-
ton of offensive activity.

OF military leaders, but also of
