GENERAL MACARTHUR‘S COMMAND
VIEWS OF U.S. SENATOR New York, Oct. 1. Senator Brewster broadcasting urged that General MacArthur be placed in full command of military operations in the South Pacific. “While we were in the Pacific, operations proceeded simultaneously in New Guinea, and New Georgia under separate commands. Losses were at a minimum in' the LaeSalamaua offensive, which was personally supervised by General MacArthur. General Kenny, Commander of Allied Air Forces, meanwhile was at Munda, where three major military commanders were required in three weeks. Such changes mean greater sacrifice. One cannot help wishing that General MacArthur had the same authority in New Georgia as he exercises in New Guinea.’’
