Gen. Marshall and profoundly re-
spects him and his ability"
I Representative Andrews of New
York. ranking Republican member
of the Military Affairs Committee.
said he considered Gen. Marshall
"pre-eminently fitted" for an assign
ment as global commander for the
Allies. II such an officer is named,
he said, his command should in
clude both the British and Amer
lean navies and he should be able
to consult with the military heads
of the Chinese and Russian govern
ments."
Mr. Andrews said he also con-
ferred with Gen. Marshall today
and declared the general greatly
resents all references that have been
made to his key man, Gen. Somer-
veil, on the floor of this House and
IN the newspapers" Some reports
had mentioned Gen Somervell, chief
OF the Army service forces, as a
likely successor to Gen. Marshall as
chief of staff.
The speeches followed assertions
that there had been political dab
bling in Army high command affairs
A few minutes earlier Representa-
tive Shafer, Republican, of Michi-
gan had said that he and another
member of Congress. whom he did
not identify, had been furnished
substantially the same informa-
ton" as that contained in an article
distributed by the International
News Service which said:
"A group of influential White
House advisers are planning today
Saturday to give 1t. Gen. Brehon
Somervell personal control of the
expenditure of $22 600 900 900 in the
coming year by complete reorgan-
ization Of the entire Army produc-
ton 'front.'
Shafer Explains Stand
II feel" Mr. Shafer said, that If
by any word or deed I can prevent
those in the cabal mentioned in the
article from taking over the War
Department and building 1t into
political machine, I will have rem
dered our armed forces and the Ma
ton a service
Mr.. Shafer said there ARE too
many capable men to carry on Gen.
Marshan's program If he Is ap-
pointed supreme commander of the
Allied Nations without turning the
job over to political general, or
giving control of the War Depart
ment to politicians"
Mr.. Shafer took the floor to ex-
plain his stand in the Marshall con-
troversy after Representative Bull
Wrinkle, Democrat, of North Caro-
lima and Magnuson, Democrat, of
Washington challenged him yester-
day to produce the facts and name
the men in any plan to reorganize
the War Department.
