He also was awarded the medal
OF the French Legion of Honor.
First Wanted to Join NAVY.
The general confessed in his own
biographical sketch that his boyhood
dreams were Of the Navy, but my
efforts in that direction resulted only
in an alternate appointment" He
explained that the West Point op-
portunity came along at the same
time and he decided to take it as
a second choice"

Gen. McNair warned last November
that air and sea power alone would
not win the war. He pointed to the
formidable qualities OF the German
and japanese infantry and declared
1T Is high time that our people ap-
preciate and glorify our own in
fantry"
In another address to his own
men he advised terselv that "the
struggle is for survival-kill or be
killed He emphasized the neces-
sity Of lust for battle" and told
his troops:
Our object in life must be to kill
We must scheme and plan night
and day to kill There need be no
pangs of conscience. for our enemies
have lighted the way to faster, surer
and crueler killing. They are past
masters. We must hurry II we are
to catch up with them"
When he talked over this speech
later with a friend. he commented
that no doubt some persons would
not approve its tone. but. he added
the things he had said needed to be
said.

Gen. McNair described himself as
a "pick-and-shovel" man. He was
rarely seen without his celebrated

him to all parts OF the world.
In prewar days he frequently
would discuss Army plans with Gen
Marshall during their long horse
back rides at Fort Myer, but the war
had left neither of them much time
for recreation.
AT work, he was a restless autom-
atom, terse and direct in his Or

he opposed Hitler's annexation of

grounds the army was not prepared
for such undertakings.
Gen. Olbricht was characterized
by Propaganda Minister Goebbels as
a general who hitherto has dis
tinguished himself only by sabotag-
ing every big decision" The broad
cast asserted Gen. Olbricht gave
false orders to troops on July 20
and was shot in the courtyard of
Berlin's Bendlerstrasse, high COM
mand headquarters, the same night. ."
The German radio said Gen
Hoepner was thrown out of the
army because of "cowardly re-
treat" on the Russian front at the
end Of l94l. He was 81 and COM
manded a tank corps in the Polish
campaign and an army corps in the
drive through Belgium and France
Exact parts of Gen. Beck and
Gen Hoepner in the plot were not
given.
The German broadcast said Gen.
Beck had a nervous breakdown
when he was charged with the plot
and asserted that this was the way
he acted when German troops
marched into the Rhineland and
into Austria. and at the time OF the
Sudeten crisis with Czechoslovakia.
When Beck realized the coup
against the Fuehrer had failed

in a fit of sobbing At the point of
arrest, he shot himself with a re-

Meanwhile. the Alelers radio
quoted a Stockholm dispatch as
saying that DR.. Hjalmar Schacht
Reich minister without portfolio
had been shot by the Gestapo.
Reports of Schacht's death have
cropped up previously and have
never been verified. German broad
casts made no mention today of the

At a press conference he admitted
in effect that he had not followed
his own instructions to his soldiers
to keep down, out of the line of
fire.
Were you standing or lying down
when you were wounded, General?'
he was asked.
"Who?" asked Gen. McNair. "Oh,
was standing"
But he had an excuse--he thought
he was protected from fire by the
crest of a hill
He was able to resume his duties
as commander of the ground forces
after about month.
Born in Minnesota.
Born in Verndale, MINI. on May
Is, 1888, Gen. McNair was graduated
from West Point in 1904 and was
commissioned second lieutenant of
