MARSHALL FIRM IN DRAFT FIGHT

No Compromise, He Says in Opposing Sen. Taft's 16-Month Proposal.

WASHINGTON, July 24 (U, P) Gen, George «. Marshall, Army Chief of Staff, today opposed a come promise proposal by Senator Robert A. Taft (R. 0.) which would, in effect, permit selectees to leave the armed forces at the end of 18 months of training. In a letter to the Senate Military Affairs Committee, Marshall warned that this Government. needs “trained troops ready for service in any emergency and we are unable

to determine when and where such an emergency may arise.” He said that Taft's plan had “great merit but only as a longe range plan for peace time procures ment and training purposes.” Taft offered the plan as a come promise for pending proposals for Congressional declaration of a limited national emergency to permit retention of selectees, guardsmen and reservists for the duration,

Protect Present Force

Marshall said the present strength of the Army, plus authorized and expected additions in the near | future, is 1,700,000, “The immediate problem of the War Department is to perfect this force,” Marshall said. ‘“‘Any large increase would disrupt that force be=

He estimated that 75,000 men would enter and leave the service through the selective training process each month when it was in operation. “We would prefer to release a certain number of selectees but we must not be compelled to release a particular group at a certain time,” Marshall wrote. He added that the Army wished to release men who are more than 28 years old “on the completion of their 12 months and even earlier if possible.” Both the Senate and House Milie tary Affairs Committees appeared ready, meantime, to approve Mar shall's recommendations, supported by President Roosevelt, for Cone gressional proclamation of a limited national emergency to keep ses lectees, guardsmen and reservists in active*service for the duration.

Informants in speaking of the 100-mile deep battle field said that previously the field had been about 70 miles deep, so that apparently the Germans had gained another 30 miles toward Moscow since the start of the week. They assumed that the Germans might now be as much as 95 miles east of Smolensk, which would put them only about 135 miles from Moscow.
