Marshall Advocates e
Huge Citizens Army
To Meet Emergencies

Gen. George G. Marshall believes
that if the American people are not
to waste the victory bought at so
great a cost they must prepare for
future emergencies by building up a
huge citizens army.
The Chief of Staff expressed this
view last night at dinner given In
his honor at the Mayfiower Hotel by
the Reserve Officers Association,
where President Truman declared
the general had accomplished the
greatest military task in the history
of the world"
The President, himself q colonel
in the field artillery reserve, pre-
sented Gen. Marshall a certificate of
life membership in the association,
explaining that he was selected for
this role because he had organized
the first reserve corps In the United
States-that established at Kansas
City in 1921.
President Lauds Marshall.
Gen. Marshall" the President
said, lis my ideal of a leader. con-
slider myself something of judge
on that subject due to the fact that
I have spent many of my odd
moments reading the history of the
great military leaders of the world.
HE succeeded in getting Coop
Grafton and in getting the Navy to
cooperate with the Army. 1t is my
opinion that Gen Marshall has
done the greatest military task in
the world"
The President added that he made
this observation advisedly and with
out any reflection on the parts that

the rest of my life" and added:

would enable the United States to-
put an Army of 1000, 900 men in the

lit is that immediate availability
(of reserves) which is so important.
