General Nixes Political Draft WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 (AP)— General George C. Marshall, who has been mentioned as a possible presidential nominee, declared Tuesday that he “never could be drafted” for political office. Th(en, with democrats and re publicans applauding the seldom equalled forthrightness of his state ment, he took the oath as secre tary of state and promised to "do my best” with the vast problems crowding in upon him. Marshall’s statement, dictated to newsmen who greeted his train in the bleak morning, was obviously designed to disentangle his new job as secretary of state from any political complications. Evidently he felt that such prob lems as relations with Russia, the future of Germany, atomic energy, and world peace would best be tackled if he did not have-to face congress as a possible contender for the presidency in 1948. He had been mentioned in speculation about the democratic nomination.
