According to all logic, he said, the German resistance should be at an end now, but there is no sign that the Army is collapsing. The GeStapo still retains its hold of terror on Germany.
 Marshall pointed out that Ger man gasoline stocks are practic- ally dried up, and that the NaZis do not have enough fuel to move their supplies, let alone their ar mored vehicles and artillery. On the other hand, he said, their sup ply problem is far simpler than ours because they are fighting at home. Their repair and replace ment jbo for tanks and other ve- hicles is also comparatively sim- pie. When Allied armor is knockd out, it means that it is lost if the damage is too much for the field repair bases, while a Nazi tank which has suffered far more Seri- ous damage can be taken right into a tank factory not so many miles from where it was hit. This is tremendous advantage, he said.
 The chief of staff also told the senators that it is a mistake to figure that the Japs will fold up quickly once Germany is out of the war. Although it's losses have been heavy, Japan still a formidable army and cast stores of supplies. He would not estimate the length of time needed to defeat the island em- pire. But insisted it would be extremely tough going.
 Marshall said nothing during this session about his plant to take over as supreme commander in the Pacific once Germany falls, but members of the committee now take that for granted. INV FLUSHING WAVES
 Washington Scene: Two pretty WAVES loaded with bundles were dismayed to see heavily be- decked admiral approaching them as they hurried along Pennsyl- vania avenue in front of the Treasury building. They saluted, while half dozen bundles slipped down to the sidewalk.
 Admiral William Leahy, the Presidents military and naval representative, smiled, picked up the packages, saluted and walked on.
 ADVICE TO YOUNG SENATOR
 Senator Milton Young, newly appointed North Dakota Republl- can, was welcomed by group ot his colleagues at downtown Washington club last week. Each of those present had few words of advice-mostly facetious-to cf- fer him.
 Crusty old Senator Hugh But. Ter of Nebraska, however, con- stant COP foe of the administra. tion, got rather serious in his re, marks. He told Young that al- though the COP is minority in the Senate, it has a good organ ization and is able to make itr weight felt.
 Our party organization is an important thing" he said. But that does not mean that a mem- Der is bound to vote with his party at all times. On the really important issues Repub- IicanS and Democrats are ex- pected to vote according to their conscience - even If that means voting against party colleagues"
 When 1t came the turn of Progressive Republican Wayne Morse of Oregon, former VILE member, Morse remarked, "Sena- tor Young, I'm glad to see that twinkle in your eye. You'll need a sense of humor ill the Senate.
 "As for voting with your party, in the two and half months that I have been a member of the Senate I've found my vote registered against those of the majority of my Republican col-
 leagues in . good many in- stances.
