Army seeks extended service and full emergency powers
General Marshall told the senate military committee the Taft plan has merit as a long term peace time measure while urging removal of the one year service cap. He asked Congress to declare a full national emergency enabling a war time footing and removal of restrictions on reserve components and selectees to provide maximum flexibility. He warned of potential Nazi threats in South America and Russia and discussed the need to move beyond present limits to defend distant outposts. The committee suggested a war department proposal would follow to press for emergency powers.
