General Craig Reaches Goal
Of 600,000 Army Officers
By Lee Klrech
United T:s Staff Correspondent.
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.

Pay Less and Dress Better
as chief of staff, Aug. 31, 1939,
Hitler's armies were massed at
the Pblish border, and days of
peace were at an end. 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.
