GENERALS DAUGHTER
Miss Lejeune Chose
Military Library Work
BY RUTH DEAN
Star stan Writer

1t was only natural that
Miss Eugenia Lejeune should
select a nfe's career that re-
wolves around the exploits of
the military heroes who have
added pages to United States
history.
She herself is the daughter
OF a famous Marine Corps
general. the late Maj. Gen.
John A. Lejeune, commandant
OF the Marine Corps from
1920 to 1929.
An expert military refer
ence librarian, Miss Lejeune
is now engaged in research
in the life of another famous
general, Gen. George C. Mar
shall, general of the Army,
former Chief of Staff Of the
Army during World War II,
former Secretary of State
and former Secretary of De-
tense.
The research she is doing
at the Military Records
Branch of the General Serv-
ices Administration Offices in
Alexandria is in preparation
for the proposed Gen. George
c. Marshall Research Center
at the Virginia Military In
stitute in Lexington, Va.
The center, which has not
yet been erected, will have DR..
Forrest c. Pogue as its di-
rector and Miss Lejeune as
its librarian. 1t will house all
data and records about Gen.
Marshall, who is considered
by VMI alumni as one of its
most illustrious members.
Miss Lejeune will expect
eventually to move to Lexing-
ton when the center is
erected. 1t will be like COM
ing back to her second
home" again. she feels, for
she lived in Lexington for
eight years when her father
was commandant of vMI
following his retirement from
the Marine Corps in 1929.
