MARSHALL—First Globalissimo?
<
^ 4
CHIEF-of-staff Marshall once -
spoke back to a general.
General George Catlett Mar
shall, architect of the first big
American Army ever built in
peace time, is now oeing talked
of as the man who may assume
the unprecedented position of
globalisslmo for Anglo-American
fighting forces.
Never in military history has
one man shouldered such a job—
a job that calls for co-ordinating
the movement of millions of men
and their material by land, sea
and air all over the globe.
The tall, sandy-haired chief of
staff emerged from World War I
known among his colleagues as
“Pershing’s man,” who went to
France as a captain-and remain
ed to map the decisive Meuse
! Argonne offensive.
General Pershing had had his
eye on this freckle-faced fellow,
i or Marshall had spoken right up
! to the general once and told him
; a training maneuver flopped be
cause the men had not been given
I enough time to prepare.
Pershing said Marshall had
j performed a “stupendous task”
i in the Meuse-Argonne drive, and
i he made him his aide-de-camp,
I a post the future chief of staff
held until 1924.
| Born Dec. 31, 1880, at Union
town, Pa., Marshall had been
bent on a career as a soldieT
from boyhood. He began it aus
piciously in 1901, and was grad
uated from Virginia Military In
stitute with the honor position of
| first captain of his class.
The Army sent him to the Phil
! ippines. Hardly had he arrived
before he was put in command ©f
extensive troop maneuvers. The
officer who planned them had
been taken ill. Marshall took over
without advance notice.
His handling of the troops so
tickled General Johnson Hay
good that he proposed that Mar
shall be promoted forthwith from
lieutenant to brigadier general.
Marshall, instead, had to wait
35 years to attain that rank in
1936. He was promoed to major
in 1920, lieutenant colonel in
1923, and colonel in 1933.
President Roosevelt skipped
past 34 other higher-ranking gen
erals to appoint him as chief of
staff in 1939 and to raise his
rank to major-general.
Known in the army as a strict
disciplinarian, Marshall at the
:,ame time is affable, and a re
markably good story teller, say
his colleagues.
The general turns to horseback
riding, tennis and canoeing for
recreation. In days of peace, Gen
eral Marshall was up and to
work early so that he could get
away from his office sooner.
“Nobody,” he says, “ever had
an original idea after 3 o’clock.”

COL TRUITT
TRANSFERED
,
The transfer of Colonel James <
G. Truitt, officer In charge of .
construction or the Seattle En- ,
gineer District and well known
former Alaska resident, to an un
disclosed army assignment, has
been announced by Colonel Rich- 1
ard Park, Seattle district engi- «
neer. .
Colonel Truitt was appointed <
to active duty as a lieutenant- ,
colonel March 24, 1942. His first
military assignment in his second ,
world war was to organize and <
commence survey of the Rocky j
Mountain trench as a possible
location for a railway line to con
nect Alaska with the United
States and Canadian shipping
points. ■ - .
This survey, more than 2,000 <
miles from Prince George to j!
Northern Alaska, was accom- \
plished under Truitt’s direction <
in the face of adverse winter j.
conditions and in the shortest |
time for any survey in the his- |
tory of American railroading. Air •
reconnaissance was used for the .
first time in location of a rail- 1;
way survey line. Pole-boats, |
pack-trains and chartered planes ■
to supply the survey parties in !
remote parts of Alaska were |
used on this survey in which the •
Canadian government cooperat- <
ed. .• - I
Col. Truitt was born in Vin- !
ita, Oklahoma, graduated from j
Whatcom high school in Belling- •<
ham and attended the Univer- .
sity of Washington. He first came !
to Alaska in 1916 on location •
i
and construction of the Alaska •
Railroad, resigning in 1917 to en- !
list in the Corps of Engineers, j
U. S. Army. Commissioned from •
the 1st Engineer School at Lan- i
gre, France, in 1918, Truitt was *

Gtjh” Engineer^, so named be- J
cause they were so active in Jj
France, and he took part in the <i
Meuse-Argonne and Gerardmer !j
offensivesi Immediately follow- *
ing the armistice, he served as j
an engineer instructor for Aimer- 4
ican troops at Beaune University, jj
France, resigning to return to j
civilian duty with the Alaska 4
Railroad. j
In 1925, he left the Alaska !j
Railroad for the River and Har- j
bor District of the War Depart- j
ment at Juneau. He went to the <i
Seattle Engineer District in 1932, !j
when Juneau and Seattle River 1
and Harbor work were consoli- 4
dated there. He was with the ’•
Seattle Engineer District as prin- ’
cipal civilian engineer in charge ’
of constrution when appointed to •
active duty. H ereceived his full \
colonelcy last December 19. j
Colonel Truitt’s son, James K., j
is an enlistee in the coast artil- .
lery His wife and daughter, j
Mary, will make their home in J
Seattle. His father, James S. j
Truitt now of Bellingham, was *
attorney-general for Alaska un- ’
til retiring two years ago. \
