Phone 2-1333 — Bryan — North Main Occupation PX ? s Sell Only Marshall Biographies In Germany, post-exchange news stands are prominently displaying their first and only book for sale, and the Germans will probably find it a bitter pill to swallow. The War Department approved this solitary selection, and sent 3,000 copies to post-exchanges in the European theater. “Only books of outstanding interest will be sold —we don’t intend to get into the library business”,' said an Army spokesman. In the choice of the book, it is debatable whether or not the War Department intended ,to be satirical or not, but the book popularity in Germany is likely to sag. The book is “Together”, a bio graphy of George C. Marshall, written by his wife, Katherine Tupper Marshall.
