WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—Gen. George C. Marshall's advocacy of a small but efficient post-war pro- fessional army backed up by a well-trained citizen's reserve won widespread approval on Capitol Hill and gave impetus to a move for early consideration of peace-time draft legislation. No dissenting Congressional voices challenged the chief of staff's assertion that a large stand- ing army "has no place among the institutions of a modern democratic state." although several lawmakers said they wanted an elaboration of Marshall's plans. However, both Warren H Ather- ton, national commander of the American Legion, and Norman Thomas, Socialist leader, opposed Marshall's proposal.
