big Standing Army :
After War Opposed
|By Gen. Marshall
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
An American Army Of wartime
strength may be needed long
after the defeat of Germany and
Japan, Gen. George c. Marshall
believes, but he feels that the
armed forces in peace years
should consist Of the smallest
possible" number of professional
soldiers.
Gen. Marshall has issued q direc-
tive to all oficers concerned with
postwar military organization that
a large standing army has no
place among the institutions OF q
modern democratic state"
The chief of staf1 said, however
that the directive is based on the
assumption that Congress would ap-
prove of 4 policy of universal mill
tary training for all youths, under
which every able-bodied young
American shall be trained to de-
fend his country"
Such reserves, after their dis
charge from training. Gen. Marshall
said, should form the citizens re-
serves Of the Regular Army. He added
that nations which choose a large

at several points west of Florence
and plunged forward, menacing
historic Pisa near the coast.
The main American drive, how
ever, was said to be toward high
ground north OF Florence which
must be taken before the sweep OF
the 9Th and 5th Armies can gain
their final objectives.
Given Strong Air Support.
The Mediterranean Allied Air
Force gave strong support to the
offensive. Last night bombers hit
railyards at Bologna on the Bren-
ner Pass line In Northern Italy.
The attack that broke the back of
the Gothic Line was launched on a
20-nlile stretch west from Pesaro,
Adriatic port. The heaviest fighting
In that area began two days ago.
In the Allied advance Polish and
British troops crossed the Foglia
River.
A secret concentration of 9Th
Army forces in the Adriatic sector
before the push began in rough
mountain country was termed here
one Of the classic maneuvers OF the
war.
A front dispatch from Associated
Press War Correspondent Lynn
Heinzerling said the 9Th transferred
many divisions; thousands Of guns
and vehicles and tons Of ammuni-
ton and equipment from Central
Italy to the Adriatic sector TO the
complete mystification Of the Ger
mans"
Took Germans by Surprise.
He said the attack was so heavy
and unexpected that 1t caught the
Germans still unpacking some Of
their mines and making a routine
relief of one Of their tired divisions.
Even now the full story Of the
Army's migration-a movement far
greater than that which preceded
the assault on Casino and the Gus
tav Line cannot be told" Mr..
Heinzerling wrote. adding:
One day 1000 vehicles passed
over the roads. Tank transporters.
running day and night through heat
and dust. Travelled 10000 miles.
Planes were used to watch trafic
on the roads and report jams
promptly"
Mr.. Heinzerling said Prime Min
lister Churchill visited the front
with 1t. Gen Sir Oliver Leese and
Gen. Sir Harold Alexander, and
watched the progress of the first
days battle from an observation
post near the Metauro River.
Mr.. Churchill saw the troops mov-
ing in for an attack aimed directly
at the richest part of Italy.

WLB Issues Appeal.
3. The War Labor Board last
night appealed to strikers at four
Pennsylvania pits, employing nearly
2,0O0 and producing 10000 tons
