Pentagon-Marshal Link Tightens Civilians in Defense
The report shows a strengthening flow from State to the Pentagon with Gen. George C. Marshall wielding influence as Defense Secretary. Marshall, a former five star general, shapes military policy while Deputy Lovett handles civilian operations. A Senate inquiry later adjusted U S troop estimates to 344 000, prompting Pentagon silence on further comment.
