Special Law Passed.
The resignation of Mr.. johnson
and the nomination of the general
to succeed him was announced
just year ago today. But Gen.
Marshall did not take Office until
September 81.
1t required a special act of Con-
gresS for the five-Star general to
become Secretary of Defense. The
armed services unification law
states that a civilian shall be
named to the post.
Gen. Marshall was born Decem-
Der 81, 1880. in Uniontown, Pa.
He received his education at Vir-
ginia Military Institute. where he
was first captain of the corps of
cadets. an All-Southern football
tackle and a graduate of the class
of 1901.
He accepted commission as a
second lieutenant of infantry in
February, 1902. From the middle
OF 1913 until the spring of 1916,
Gen. Marshall saw duty in the
Philippines as aide to Gen. Hunter
Liggett. 1t was during that
period when maneuvers involving
Manila's defense were being held
that his ability as a tactician
brought him to the attention OF
superior officers.

ing a long period of recuperation,
he submitted his resignation on
January 3, 1949, effective Janu-

Czechs Who Escaped
To Germany on Train
Given Asylum by U. 5.
BY the Associated Press

HOF, Germany, Sept. l2.-The
United States High Commission
announced today that all political
refugees aboard the Czech train
which cracked through the Iron
Curtain will be allowed to remain
in the West.
Twenty-Five of the Czechs have
asked for asylum "in the free
West" after spectacular flight
from their Communist homeland
yesterday.
Eighty-six other Czechs who
rode the freedom train" as un-
willing passengers will be returned
to CzechoSlovakia.
A High Commission announce
ment recalled a statement last
April by Commissioner John j.
McCloy that American author
tiles will not return political
refugees to Soviet orbit countries
where their freedom or even lives
would be in jeopardy"
Army Harboring Them.
This policy will be adhered to"
in the case Of the runaway Czechs,
the announcement said.
1t said the Czechs are tempo
rarily IN the custody of the United
States 7th Army, which is max
ing every effort to provide suitable
food and accommodations.
I'VE did it because it is no long
er bearable to live in an East Eu-
ropean country" said Frazek jar
da, engineer of the train and a
leader of the daring escape plot.
I'VE have been preparing for
this long time" he told report
ers. I'VE brought food and cloth
ing-everything we could"
'All along the way we got help
Mr.. Jarda said. But, in the tradi-
tional manner of refugees, he re-
fused to identify the people who
helped them. Mr.. Jarda brought
his wife and two children with
him.
Thousands have fed to Ger
many since the Communists seized
Czechoslovakia. This is the first
time any escaped by pirating a
train.
The way they did it was amaz-
ingly simple. The express train,
was on It's regular run from
Prague to Asch near the German
border. 1t was scheduled to stop
at Asch but instead the engineer
raced through the town at so miles
an hour.
Some one at ASch had thrown a ,
rusty switch and the train was
shunted to an old. unused track
leading across the German border
to the town of -PloeSzberg. 25
miles from Hof, the refugees then
turned themselves over to German
authorities.
Camp Holds Hundreds.
The refugees, including six chill |,
dren and several women, stayed at !,
q Red Cross center in Selb last
night. Others, including two Czech
soldiers and policeman. stayed .
behind on the train.
United States officials said
earlier the refugees will go to
Camp Valka, near Nuremberg, |
where hundreds of other Czech
fugitiveS are living in barracks. /
In previous escapes. Czechs have
used nearly every means except
trains. Many have reached Ger
many by plane, including one
group which took over an airliner
in the air. Most cross the border
at night on foot or in cars-where
they run the danger of being shot
by Czech guards.
