THE ASHEVILLE CITIZEN, ASHEVILLE, N. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1945 -Continued From Page One MARSHALL in a discussion by Marshall of the reasons for the allied invasion of the European continent. One reason was to shorten the war by facilitating the advance of Russian forces from the east, said the general.

The other he described this way: "At the time German technological advances such as in the development of atomic explosives it imperative that attack before these terrible weapons could be turned against us." There was no mention in Marshall's report of a corresponding technological menace by Japan. Indeed, the general made a little point real of the fact that there was contact between the Germans and the Japanese, expressing himself this wagivis, as a matter of fact. existed on paper Continued Research Necessary his discussion of technological attainments, Marshall said that the necessity for continuous research now clear to all and it should not be too difficult to obtain the necessary appropriations for this purpose during peacetime." There is, however, always much reluctance to spend funds for improvement of war-making instruTo peacetime usefulness the ments, "particularly, where there is product," he commented. The general foresaw the growth of a "highly dangerous and attractive doctrine" "that to protect itself this nation need only to rely on its machine power, that it will need no manpower." Such a doctrine, said he, "will be closely akin to the doctrine of negative deferse which destroyed France." He asserted: only effective defense A nation can now maintain is the power of attack. And that power can not be machinery alone.

must be men to man the machines. And there must be men to come to close grips with the enemy and tear his operating bases and his productive establishment away from him before the war can end." Calls For Trained Army It was upon this statement that Marshall predicated his case for national defense system composed of a trained reserve of citizen soldiers and a compact regular army comprised largely of a strategic force "heavy in air power." But before detailing his views on this point Marshall presented what he said was his own conception of "what is required to prevent anothinternational catastrophe." His philosophy was this: "We have tried since the birth of our nation to promote our love of peace by a display of weakness. course has failed us utterly, cost us millions of lives and billions treasure. The reasons are quite urderstandable. The world does not seriously regard the desire of the weak.

Weakness presents too great a temptation to the strong, particularly to the bully who schemes for wealth and "We have ignored hard realities of world affairs. have been thee purely idealistic. Security Policy Not War Policy "We must start I think, with correction of the tragic misunderstanding that a security policy "is a war policy. order to 'establish an interrational system for preventing wars, peace-loving peoples of the world are demonstrating an eagerness send their representatives to such conferences as those at Dumbarton Oaks and San Francisco with the fervent hope that they may find practical solution. "Yet, until it is proved that such a solution has beer found to prevent wars, a rich nation which lays down its arms as we have done after every war in our history, will court disaster.

The existence of the complex and fearful instruments of destruction now available make this a simple truth which 1s, in my opinion, undebatable." Hemispheric Defense Outmoded Marshall observed that the techniques of war have brought the United States, its homes and factories into the front line of world conflict and then commented: "It no longer appears practical -to continue what we once conceived as hemispheric defense as satisfactory basis for our security." The hemispheric defense policy developed in the years immediately preceding American entry into World War II and was implemented by the construction of a chain huge United States military, naval and air bases through the Caribbean and the eastern coast of South America. Universal Military Training In discussing a system by which the nations can remain strong without bankrupting itself on military expenditures, Marshall emphasized the need for universal military training. Such 8 system would make it possible to fill im-1 mediately, in time of emergency, the ranks of the navy, the army, the national guard and the organized reserve. "By this method," said Marshall, "we would establish, for generations to come, a national military policy: (1) Which is entirely within the financial capabilities of our peacetime economy and is absolutely democratic in its nature, and (2) which places the military and therefore the political on world notice that this vast power, linked to our tremendous resources, wealth, GRAY HAIR NEWS No More Dyeing?

Maintaining that both the and jury had displayed prejudice, Laval had refused to return to the courtroom after a tumultuous session Saturday when all parties shouted abuse at one another. Neither defense attorneys nor dewitnesses were present at yesterday's or today's sessions.

When the judge finished reading sentence and the court rose, the clerk went to Laval's cell to inform him of his fate. Laval heard him through. "I Was Expecting It" "I was expecting it," he muttered. "I shall not sign any appeal for mercy." The trial of "the most hated man in France" lasted five days. It required almost a month similar verdict against Henri Marshal' Philippe Petain, 89, Vichy chief of state, whose death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment by DeGaulle.

In spite of universal detestation, Laval's trial was denounced as a fiasco by almost the entire French press because of the conduct of the judge and prosecutor. It had been widely believed that the cabinet would order a new trial at its meeting this morning. But the cabinet's communique gave no information that the case had been even discussed. The accused's lawyers withdrew th first day, claiming they had not been given enough time to prepare a defense, They took up their duties under threat of disbarment, but have not been present since the defendant absented himself. Laval himself dominated the courtroom for two days, asserting had always worked for the best interests of France and laying all blame for the Vichy dictatorship upon Petain.
