purposes, ran the show.
Count Eisiedel, though only

Of the psychology of German Off
GERS and enlisted men. He comes
from one of the most distinguish.
ed German families. most mem.
'bers of which choose the Army
career, and his mother was the
granddaughter Of Bismarck, the
man who always maintained that
Germany must never fight Russia.
Count Einsiedel built up the
Organization Of Front Delegates,
the German Army, and one can
easily see that all the Moscow
based officers believe that they
will be put in charge of this new
a unit of thousands Of captured
German soldiers. These dele
gates at the front are directly be-
hind the first Russian lines, ad-
vancing simultaneously. They ad-
dress their fighting German COM
RAIDS with loudspeakers and
shower them with leaflets, in
which they are promised goo d
treatment if they desert.
German prisoners are immedi-
ately handed over to delegates at
the front. Count Einsiedel, con-
stantly travelling the entire front,
makes it his business to talk to as
many deserters as possible, there
by checking on. his propaganda
line. Every scrap of paper found
on a l. captured German soldier,
every letter, every diary is hand
ed over to him. Thus the Count
gets much information to increase
the potency of his psychological
warfare, for it demoralizes the
other side when an opponent
seems to know all his secrets.

MARSHALL'SPLANS
TO RECEIVE STUDY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. - til
General Marshalrs idea for CONF
pact postwar army with a pr ofess
sional nucleus but trained citizen
reserve is expected to receive its
first formal consideration on Capt..
toll Hill Tuesday. 81.
The House Military committee
plans to hear Brig. Gen. William
F. Tomkins, head of the special
planning division of the general
staff, and his aides explain the
army's rehabilitation plans. Those
in a position to know said today
that there is every reason to be-
lievc that discussion will involve
the Marshall plan.
Marshall, the Army's chief of
sten, set fort. his ideas in dircc-
tive issued as a basic policy for
officers planning the permanent
postwar army organization. 4
Marshall made plain that his di.
receive was predicted on the as
sumption that Congress will APP.
prove some form of postwar uni-
versal military training. The sub.
ject Of a peacetime draft probably
will be taken up in congress after
election by the special committee
on postwar military policy.
The assumption in most admins.
tration quarters is that any univer-
sal military training program
would provide manpower for nav
al as well as army reserves. Such
a system might go far to solve one
of the navy's. present worries
how to keep at least a sizeable
part of it's now vast armada Of
fighting ships in commissions in
the years of international policing
following the defeat of the Axis. ,y
But. the peacetime existence OF
such body of citizen-reserve nav
al men, including officer personnel,
would represent something of a
:: departure in United States naval
traditional. 1t has been a general
/, policy that in the years between
/! the wars, the command of fighting
ships should rest only with the pro-
fessional naval officer, the Anna.
