SINGLE U.S. COMMAND
PREDICTED IN SOUTH PACIFIC
(Rec. 11.30 a.m.) WASHINGTON. Nov. 2. President Roosevelt will soon appoint a single commander of the United States army, navy, and marines in the South Pacific, and it will probably be General MacArthur, according to the columnist Drew Pearson in a broadcast. He added that the highest authorities at the War Department denied that General Mac Arthur had been prevented from bombing the Solomons. Mr. Pearson declared that in recent weeks General Mac Arthur had cabled the War Department several times requesting it to deny that he had ambitions of obtaining the Presidency. The War Department, however, told him that he would have to make the statement himself.
