August 81, 1943, investigated 1854

evidence of sabotage activity in

Addressing the 22d annual con-

that 485 persons had been convicted
in sabotage cases, with other cases
pending, but he added that most
cases in industrial plants involved
persons who have personal axes to
grind" The nearest approach to
accomplished sabotage directed by
an enemy government he said, was
the case of the eight would-be
saboteurs landed in Long Island, six
OF whom later were executed.

Army Journal Article
Focuses Attention on
Shift for Marshall

Recurring reports that Gen
George G. Marshall Is to be re-
lieved as Army chief of staff and
sent to Europe as commander in
chief Of the Allied forces in that
theater were drawing renewed
attention here today as the re-
suit of an editorial in the au-
thoritative - but unofficial -
Army and Navy Journal declar-
ing that powerful interests
would like to see Gen. Marshall
shifted from his present post.
The powerful interests" were not
identified nor was a specific reason
assigned for their reported desire to
have more amenable" officer
functioning in the position of chief
of staff.
Gen. Marshall is known to have
held firmly to the conviction that
Western Europe should be invaded
directly from England, while other
strategists. particularly those on the
British side of the table. have
frowned on cross Channel tactics.
May Awaits Developments.
The timing of the drive also is re-
ported to have been a subject of
some dissension.
While taking cognizance of the
editorial, Chairman May of the
House Military Affairs Committee
was reluctant to discuss the matter.
explaining that he preferred to
await developments. He said he
felt that Gen. Marshall had done a
great job" as head of the Army,
but that transfer was matter
for the consideration of the Presi-
dent and Secretary of War. If such
a move would aid the war effort.
"I don't think Congress should in
terfere." he said.
1t was reported over the week
end that Gen. John ]. Pershing
had gone to the White House to
urge against the removal of Gen.
Marshall. but this was denied in
an informed quarter.
Reappointed Recently.
Gen. Marshall only recently was
reappointed chief of staff after his
four-year term expired. In an
nouncing the reappointment, Presi-
dent Roosevelt recalled that it was
the first time in history that chief
of staff had been held over in war
time, and that only one previous
incumbent-Gen. Douglas A. Mac
Arthur-had received reappoint-
ment.
f, Reports that Gen. Marshall was
to be shifted have emanated both
from London and Washington.
Several possible successors have
been suggested, including Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower and 1t. Gen.
Brehon B. Somervell, commander
of the Army Service Forces.
The Journal declared Gen. Mar
shall's replacement not only would
"shock" the Nation, but also would
deprive Mr.. Roosevelt of "the valu-
able advice he has received - = on
military activities everywhere" from
his present chief of staff.
Lie JoU VI leduIllS Tile european
invasion could be "ballyhooed" as a
reward for his services, the Journal
said, but actually it would mean
assignment to a single theater of
operations, stripping Gen. Marshall
of the broad command he now holds
over all Army forces.
A new chief of staff, the Journal
said, would be compelled to earn
the confidence of the Army, the
Congress and the country, which
Gen. Marshall now enjoys to an ex-
tent without parallel in war"
