5TIN. SEW. 9. fo Suggestion On Army Has Widespread Capitol Backing WILLIAM F. ARBOGA8T i AaaccMtei PIMS Staff Writer Sept ml George C.

Marshall's advocacy of a small but efficient postwar-professional Army backed up by a well-trained citizen reserve R-on widespread approval on capital hfll today and gave impetus to a inova for early consideration 5f peacetime draft legislaion. No dissenting voices, challenged the assertion of the chief-of-staff that a large standing Army "has no place among the institutions of a modem democratic state," although several lawmakers said wanted more details on what Marshall has in mind. Peacetime draft legislation has been before Congress for many months but because of the possible political repercussions it has been shunted aside. On Policy Marshall's views, contained in a directive issued as basic policy for officers planning the permanent post-war military organization, assumed that Congress will approve a program which would rsouire every able-bodied American youth to undergo a "reasonable period" of peacetime military before being placed in a citizen-reserve component "It is a sound policy," commented Rep. Kilday CD-Tex), co-author or much current draft legislation.

"Ws don't want to turn this country into a militaristic nation, and thai is what General Marshall wants to guard against too." A compact standing Army, the Texan said, should suffice in the post-war period provided it is backed up by a large reservoir of trained reserves. "In the final analysis," he added, "citizen-soldiars have won every ij-ar we have fought" Others Approre Plan A fellow-Texan, Rep. Thomason, ranking Democrat on military committee', although he desired more information, said he was "with Geharal Marshall 100 per cent in his advocacy of a small professional Army and a large citizen-reserve." House Republicans joined in commendation of Marshall's suggestion. Agreeing with Marshall that a compact, small professional Army was all that was needed for normal times, Chairman Sabath £D- ni) of ths House Rules committee he was not convinced of 'he necessity of a peacetime draft "The present war has shown that in an emergency we can raise manpower without resort a peacetime draft" I Soviet Advances From Page One) Romanian troops had penetrated i into northern Transylvania, be- ii yohd the Carpathian mountains whose southern arm protects the westward drive of Malinovsky's If One Rdmainian column was ported in a Hungarian communi- qize to have been halted near II Sfantul-Gheorge, three miles iri- the Hungarian-annexed part If of Transylvania, and 18 miles north of Brasoy.

George S. Patton's Third -Army driving on the Siegfried line to the east of Verdun said American patrols were up to the Moselle river ant a bag of 1,200 prisoners indicateo resistance was rising. The Germans declared that these forces had lunged to the area of Thionville, on the Moselle just 11 miles short of the Reich border and well into Lorraine which the enemy considers part greater Germany since its annexation after the fall of France. The same German broadcast said one armored column this force had reached Longwy, two miles south of the border of the tiny Duchy of Luxembourg, la Siegfried Outpotts Thionville is 17 miles north of Metz, well through the old Maginot line, and within 20 miles of the outposts of the enemy's Siegfried line. It was considered possible thai American patrols already had speared into Luxembourg, and there was no news from Sedan, where it was believed advanced elements had crossed into Belgium on the road to Prussia.

But Lt. Gen. First Army west of Sedan drew up its ines along -a 30-mile front from 5 to 8 miles of the border of Belgium from Hirson to Charleville. Virvins, 45 miles north Reims, also fell in 'this advance. Racing through Flanders, the British Second Army seized Vimy ridge, north of.

Arras, where the Canadians won their great victory in'1917. Patrols reached Lens, 18 miles below the railways city of Lille and Armentiers, "and Pernes, 38 miles south of Dunkerque and 40 miles southeast of Calais. Old Lorraine Capital On the southeastern end of the front, the Third Army was driving for the old Lorraine capital of Nancy from St Mihiel, 32 miles to the northwest. It was along this front of the Meuse river from Verdun to St. Mihiel that the Germans claimed they were throwing in counterattacks.

Here the Americans were racing through the old Hindenburg line where the Kaiser's armies made their last futile stand in in the dying days of the first World war. Despite the spots of German resistance, it appeared that the battle of France was over and the battle of Germany and the Lowlands was beginning. Nazis To Hang On (Continued From Fage One) seems likely that the British will have -ths assignment of recon- quering the Singapore-Dutch- in- dies area. There is a sphere of primary British interest just as the Philippines-Formusa section is one of American concern. So far as reliable informants hare are able to say, there-are no more important "military problems for the British and American top leaders in the European theater.

The job now- is a technical one. Anii-Naii Should there grow up inside Germany'an anti-Nazi force capable of surrendering the country the political question of an interim authority would be settled. But all evidence here is that the Nazis have a stranglehold on the country, that the German people are politically apathetic -under a reign of terror, and that there is no hope for the emergence of any group capable of putting over a surrender. The belief of officials here is that Has Nazi leaders, already men without horfc, will seek to hold the German people in line until the 'armies are destroyed. If it turns out this way it is certain to leave Germany in a condition of chaos unprecedented in any large modern European state.
