Marshall
(Continued from Page 1)
commander of the Normandy In
vasion. But the late President
Frankiin D. Roosevelt told him,
"I feel I could not sleep at night
with you out of the country."
"Of course 1 wanted to get out
of Washington," Marshall said,
reminiscing years later. "I'm a
soldier. I wanted a combat com
mand. But I had no choice. Presi
dent Roosevelt wanted me to stay
in Washington."
It was President Harry S. Tru
man who called Marshall back,
from his postwar retirement at
his comfortable, historic home in
Leesburg, Va.
Truman, who once called Mar
shall "th'j greatest living Ameri
can," first sent him on a fruit
loss mission to China, to try to
reconcile the Communist and Na
tionalist forces who were dividing
the . country
Then he was named secretary
of state, a job far removed from
the experience of 45 years in the
Army. Marshall held it for two
years, troubled years In which
the Cold War pattern became set.
His Marshall Plan was first
enunciated at a commencement
address at Harvard in 1947. Under
it, and its successors, billions of
dollars in aid has gone to friendly
countries. He also helped lay
down the "Truman Doctrine,"
which made Greece and Turkey
out of bounds for Communist ex
pansion. He resigned as secretary of
state only because a serious
operation for removal of a kidney
madt; him feel he no longer could
devote enough time and strength
to the job. This old ailment, along
with his strokes, was listed as a
cause of death.
But again in 1950, when Truman
called, be took over the reins as
secretary of defense while the
Koiean War ran its course toward
an end lhat gave victory to no
one.
In public and as a military
officer, the ramrod straight Mar
shall was cold, correct, austere.
His blue eyes could pierce a sub
ordinate to the core. He expected
an underling to jump when he
spoke. He nearly always ad
dressed his military associates by
last name alone.
Yet at home he was gentle, con
siderate and charming. He was
an accomplished raconteur. He
enjoyed muddy work in his gar
den. He took an occasional drink,
but had not smoked since 1935.
Like Eisenhower, Marshall
loved to relax with a Western
story. He once remarked it was
hard to tell the books apart "be
cause they all have the same
cover featuring an inordinately
developed female who seldom ap
pears elsewhere in the book." .
Marshall was born in Union
town, Pa. A military parade
through its flag-decked streets in
his youth confirmed him in his
knowledge that he would be a
soldier. He was graduated from
Virginia Military Institute, and so
became an anomaly a non-West
Point man who headed the Army.
He served with distinction in
World War I.
In his few years of retirement
at Leesburg and at Pinehurst, he
lived with almost Spartan sim
plicity, continuing the habit of a
lifetime. He never considered
cashing in on his memoirs as so
many World War II leaders did.
"There are too many still alive
who could be hurt," he said.
Once, looking down the years
that brought him such a weight
of honors, Marshall was asked
what his greatest thrill had been.
"When I was promoted to first
lieutenant," he answered prompt
ly. "I waited five years to get
that."

Stock Market Closing
Higher Despite Strike
By ELMER C. WALZER
NEW YORK tUPD-The stock
market, moved up and down with
the news from the steel industry
during the past week and closed
on a note of strength that left all
leading groups higher on the
week.
Traders moved cautiously. Their
total business for the week was
the smallest in more than a
month.
Wall Street, judging from the
market performance, regarded a
steel settlement by negotiation as
bullish, and a fight over Taft
HaiMey application as bearish.
Kacn time i' appeared as if man
agement and the union would get
together the market received a
buying aid.
The list moved higher on Mon
day, Thursday and Friday. It de
clined on Tuesday and Wednes
day. The result was a narrow
range at the end of the week.
Aside from the steel news (he
general business picture had
many bright spots. Automobile
sales moved higher best since
1955 and production during the
week was the best since mid-May.
But this week will tell a different
story with many auto workers
laid off for lack of steel.
Steel production held around the
recent 13 per cent rate and coal
output rose a mite. Cooler weath
er and Columbus Day promotions
lifted retail trade which was 2 to
6 per cent above a year ago. Un
employment declined, but less than
seasonally.
The Federal Reserve report on
its production index for Septem
ber showed the strong vitality of
the economy. The index dipped
only a point to 148 where it was
7 points under the high made just
before the steel strike started.
Many corporations issued highly
favorable reports for the third
quarter and several raised their
dividends .or declared extras.
Ford Motor was among the lat
ter, declaring an extra of BO cents
along with the regular of the same
amount. Other favorable dividend
actions came from Scott Paper.
Gillette, Atlantic Coast Line, and
International Harvester. Schenley
moved to issue a new preferred
stock to be distributed as divi
dends.
When the market was in a ris
ing mood it usually was domin
ated by strength in the space age
issues, notably (he electronics.
There seems to be an impress
ion that the U.S. is going to step
up its spending for missiles and
rockets to outdo the Soviet.
Steel shares had several good
days, rising when it appeared as
if a strike settlement approached.
The whole market was strong on
Friday when steel negotiations re
sumed.
Tobaccos had a good week with
several of them strong in the var
ious sessions. There was nothing
to aid the group but a report of
a coming magazine article show
ing that cigarette makers had
cut tar and nicotine content of their
cigarettes.
Copper issues strengthened at
intervals on firmer prices for the
metal brought on by shortages
resulting from strikes in the indus
try. Railroad issues followed the
steel shares higher. That industry
has been hard hit by the steel
