Washington (U.R) The immense task of finding half-a-million officers to lead the greatest army in the nation's history has been virtually concluded under the supervision of a former chief of staff Gen. Malin Craig. - The fact that Craig is the i least known of the five four- star generals now on active duty is due primarily to his position as head of the ultra- secretive War department per sonnel board. He was made a full general automatically in 1035 when he was appointed chief of staff, and retained his rank upon his recall to active duty in September, 1041. Only other Army officers in active service now wearing four stars of a full general are George C. Marshall, DouRlas MacArthur, Dwlght D. Eisenhower, and Henry H. Arnold. Cralgs board supervises all commissions granted to soldiers from civilian life and all offi cers' promotions. During his tenure the roll of officers has expanded from about 100,000 to 800,000 for the Army's peak strength of 7,700,000 men. Activities and names of mem bers of the board are kept se cret, in order to eliminate all political influence in awarding commissions or promotions.

In Sep tember, 1941, when United States' entry into the world conflict appeared inevitable, Craig, then 67 years old, was recalled to active duty and appointed head of the personnel board, a big Job in an expanding army. To his colleagues Craig, who was born at St. Joseph, Mo., is known as the one Missourian who never said, "Show me." He has always been too busy teach ing "the other fellow." The son of an army officer, he attended West Point where his scholastic grades were not particularly outstanding. He did make gridiron history, how ever, by kicking a field goal while running with the ball. As a cadet he was "a soldier's soldier" muscular, square Jawed, husky and keen on dis cipline. Soon after graduation he woh the gratitude of San Francisco's Chinatown when he "stowed away and sorted out" a horde of Chinese babies after the earthquake In 1908. In World War I, he served succersivcly as chief of staff of me list, Division, the First Corps, and the Third Army. He faw action in some of the most , bitter battles in France and , emerged with the Distinguished i Service Medal and five decora tions. , Craig remained after th Ar mistice to "wind up the watch on the Rhine" as chief of staff i of the army of occupation. He returned to the states In 1919 I and began a series of peacetime assignments. . On October, 1935, after a Rood game of golf he still shoots in the low 80s Craig pulled Into the driveway of his home to be told by an excited wife that President Roosevelt had Just appointed him chief of staff. He Immediately hur- ! ried to the War department to 1 report for duty. While Hitler and Mussolini were having their way. in Eu rope, Craig was fighting with Congress for funds to modern ize the Army, Many Congress. ! men grumbled that mobilization j was a simple process and main tenance of a large army "too damned expensive" for a coun try at peace, but Craig an swered that the United Stales had had a war about every 25 ! years and another "was about due." In the end, he won his fight for increased approprla- j tion. When the time came for Craig i to step down as chief of staff, he recommended Marshall as , his successor. Marshall was j then deputy chief of staff. Craig was impressed by his abilities. Marshall was appoint ! ed over 20 major generals and I H other brigadiers then in the 1 Army. Craig has a brother, MaJ Dolphus Lee Robertson, 38, of Klamath Falls, arrested at Talent yesterday afternoon on charges of larceny by embezzle ment, was returned to Klamath Falls this afternoon. Robertson allegedly stole between $300 and $350. from the till of his employers. Robertson was taken from a bus at Talent by Deputy Sheriff ' Verne Smith, upon telephonic advice from Klamath Falls. The wanted man had purchased a ticket to this city. At Ashland, he purchased a ticket to Port land, on the next bus north. Failing to find Robertson on the first bus, Deputy Smith searched the next one, and found his man. Robertson was taken back to Klamath Falls by Mack Lillard, wrestling promoter, who is also an investigator for Klamath county.
