Washington--As with Jimmic Byrnes, the toughest job facing now Secretary of State George Marshall will' be ironing out our snarled relations with Russia. When Marshall was Chief ol' Staff in the fateful days ol' 1941 ax Hitter marched into Russia, he made the mistake of telling a press conference that the Nazis would reach Moscow in about six weeks.

Tr the Russians have objective memories however. they will also vocall that it WAN Marshall who consistently urged a 2nd front the English Channel, and who bucked up Stalin every inch of the way in lei: rows with Churchill. Furthermore, it Was Marshall who cast the die with Stalin and against Churchill in decreeing that the British and American armies should not so into the Balkans but through Prance.

A general in modern warfare does not ride into battle waving a sword. Mc sits behind a desk. And the plans he makes, plus the men he picks, win or lose his battics.

One secret of George Marshall's success as Chief of Staff was his ability to pick good men. On the whole thoy were also men who respected civil libertiea. By and large they believed that the job of the Army was to light, not to interfere with peacetime affairs, Marshall seldom chafed nt Congressional criticism. One of the Army's severcest critics long has been GOP Congreasman belt Engel of Michigan, who once necused the War Department of 30 cont waste in cantonment conper struction. Instead of grousing at Kadfly Engel, Marshall said: "The Congressman puts ants in our pants, but he's A damn Hood inspector." The Pershing Clique Marshall belong to the Army's so-called Pershing clique.

He was Pershing's favorite young officer. and only a Captain when he executed the most brilliant mancuver of the last war, transferring 000 men from St. Mihicl :0 Meuse-Argonne front, plus 40.000 tons of ammunition. 34 hospitals, 93.000 horses, 16-1 miles of railway. and 87 depots-all in a week's time! without the enemy's knowing it.

It was 3 great job-though small compared with some of the gigantic military movements of World' War 11. Marshall was only 36 in the last war. And ho was relatively young -59-when Roosevelt reached 34 numbers down the list of Colonels to elevate him to the exalted rank of full General and Chief of Staff. In making that selection. Roosevelt picked the second non-West Point-! 21' in history to be top military man of the Army.

The only other non-West Pointer who served as Chief of Stat was Leonard Wood. It was a queer twist of fate that sent Marshall to Virginia Military Academy rather than West Point. He wanted to go West Point, but McKinley and the Republicans were in power. while Marshall's father was a Democrat -one of the few in Uniontown, Pa, So vonne George went to VMI, which perhaps was 1 break for because, when it came time to pick a new Chief of Staff, the Inte General "Pa" Watson, military Aide to Roosevelt and a staunch Virginian, in a powerful oar to have a follow Virginian head up the Army.
