Douglas MacArthur, Army chief of staff. He said he would go to the White House afterward in hopes of | discussing his measure with~ the President. | If the bill is signed, Secretary Derni is expected to appoint a commission | of five high ranking Air Corps officers | who will inspect cities throughout | the United States in a quest for sites for the bases.
