The question of how long Secre.
tary of State Marshall will remain
in the Cabinet was unanswered
today.
Reporters thought for a moment
they were going to get an answer
late yesterday.
Gen. Marshall opened a news
conference by saying that regard
ing his possible tenure of Office
there he paused for a moment OF
hushed silence-he had no COM
ment..
He would give no hint as to
whether he and President Truman
had reached any decision on this
matter during their conferences
since Gen. Marshall returned Mon
day from the United Nations meet
ing in Paris.
Some of Gen. Marshall's asso-
ciates say they are sure Mr.. Truman
wants him to stay on as Secretary
of State and that as good SOL
dier" he will do so.
Gen. Marshall said he did not
know whether he would return to
the United Nations meeting-it de-
pends on what happens in Paris
and what happens here.
He said he was very much en-
couraged by clear evidence during
the Paris U. N. session so far that
