SOKOLSKY (Copyright, 1951, King Features fiymhcntc, Inc.) Leahy's Testimony One of the items omitted from (lv‘ Russell Committee Investiga- s the Honolulu Conference of 1044, President Roosevelt went |to the Pacific to straighten out any umnrmm between General Mac- |Arthur and Admiral Nimitz on how to light Japan. Admiral Willlam D. Leahy, in his book, “I Was There.” says: “These two meeting were much more peaceful than I had ' ex- pected after what I had been hear- ing in Washington. Here in Hono- lulu we were working with facts, not the e iiticians. MacArthur had shown ceptional ability early in his Army career and his rise had been rapid. It was no secret that in the Penta- gon Building in Washington there were men who disliked him, to state ! the matter mildly I personally was convinced that MacArthur and vaiified officers in our service for this tremendous task. Nimitz prom- ised that he would give the Army Commander the needed transporta- tion and Naval support. Both told ient they had what they that they were not asking work together in full agreement toward the common end of defeat- ing Japan.” Further, Admiral Leahy wrote: “We had a special meeting of the a detailed report of the Honolulu Conference. They may have been somewhat surprised to learn that Nimitz and MacArthur said they had no disagreéments at the mo- ment and that they could work out their joint plars in harmeny i. . " The astonishment of 'the 'Joint great indeed, for already there were rumors and reports of how difficult MacArthur was and how he and the Navy were having a tough time. Actually, this was not so, and the rumors undoubtedly were designed to lessen General MacArthur's influence and the weight of his views. The basic question was whether the Philippines were to be by- passed and Japan attacked direct- ly. Leahy says: “MacArthur was convinced that an occupation of the Philippines was essential before any major at- tack in force should be made on Japanese-held territory North of Luzon. The retaking of the Philip- pines seemed to be a matter of great interest to him. He said that he had sufficient ground and air forces for the operation and that his only additional needs were land- ing craft and naval support.” So General MacArthur and Ad- miral Nimitz, sitting with President Roosevelt in Honolulu, stipulated, accom\ng to Admiral Leahy: MacArthur and Nimitz were now in agreement that the Philippines should be recovered with ground and air power then avail-} able in the Western Pacific and that Japan could be forced to ac- cept our terms of surrender by the use of sea and air power without an invasion of the Japanese home- land. 1t is important to note that Rus- | sia was at this time in nc way as- sociated with the Far Eastern War. Russian was a neutral and strictly s0. It was MacArthur's theory that if he could cut Japan off from her conquered territory, seize the shipp- ing and air lanes, he would reduce the availability of rice and raw ma- terials and that he would defeat Japan without attacking her di- rectly and thus save a great many American lives, This was accom- plished.

Webb, lruuun" officer Im the U. S. Ma i meént of Justice, in Los Angeles and Wa s D.C., arrived in Juneau Saturday on the Alaska after visits to mar- shal’s offices in Ketchikan and Petersburg. Purpose of his Alaska trip is to in- spect marshals’ offices in the four divisions of the Territory and to assist, where possible, with promet- | ing their efficiency and- opération. He will be in Juneau a few days and | then will'go on to Anchorage, Fair- banks and Nome and any way-points time permits him to visit. He expects to be in the Territory about a month and then will fly di- rect to Washington, D. C., to ¢ port on law enforcement in Alaska. Webb has been with the with hfl(l'nml((‘ 5| | ment for 17 years. He was a former chief deputy at Kansas City, Mo., and in 1946 was selected by At- torney General Thomas A, Clark to be training officer, when that agen- cy of the department was created. This is Webb's first trip to Naskn. His territory includes besides” the Territory, Hawail, Guam; the Virght Islands, Panama.and Puerto Rico.’ STODDART GOING long ries of events which Con- gress is now investigating. Yet, it has thus far not even been con- sidered. For instance, Dean Acheson has defended Yalta on the grounds that Russia could have taken any- thing she wanted to take. But Rus- silan was not even in the Far Eastern War at the time that the strategy of the Pacific War was designed at Honolylu. At no point in Admiral Leahy’s recital of what T0 SAN FRANCISCO BPR ROAD MEETING H. A.

But they talked about England. This is what Leahy says in .his book : “Nimitz and MacArthur discussed with the President the role that the British, especially the Royal Naby, would play in the final op- erations against Japan . . . there were reports that some elcments in Churchill’s government were in fa- vor of obtaining a controlling in- terest in the Dutch East Indies once they had been recaptured. It was MacArthur’s contention that the British should not be allowed to assume control of any territory that we recaptured from the ene- my. I suspected that the Austra- lians, in this matter, were in com- plete agreement with MacArthu All this might be included in the record. Maybe it explains why the British and the pro-British elements in this country are so antagonistic to MacArthur. SNOW ON ROBERTS There was a slight covering of new snow on Mt. Roberts early this morning and on Douglas Island tops new snow was also seen.
