S|MONDS SEE n
AS NEW CHIEF
Of STAFF
By International News Service

Appointment of Maj. Gen.
George S. Simonds to succeed
Gen. Douglas Macarthur as Army
chief of staff was foreshadowed
today in a War Department
announcement of assign m n t
changes.
General SimondS, a close friend
Of President Roosevelt and now
commandant Of the Army War
College here, was assigned to duty
as deputy chief of staff. Thus
he is but a step away from the
post from which General MacAr
thur will retire as soon as the War
Departments legislative program
has been laid before Congress.
General Simonds as deputy
chief of staff will succeed Mai.
Gen. Hugh A. Drum, who had
been prominently mentioned as
successor to General Macarthur.
General Drum was assigned to
command the Hawaiian depart
ment, and thus appeared out of
the picture in that far outpost.
Maj. Gen. Malin Craig and
Maj. Gen. Frank R. Mccoy,
others mentioned as likely to get
the high appointment, also ap-
peared to be eliminated.
General Craig, now command
ing the Ninth Corps area at the
Presidio of San Francisco, will sue
ceed General Simonds as head of
the War College.
General Mccoy, commanding
the Seventh Corps area at Omaha,
is shifted to command the Sixth
Corps area at Chicago.

be selected without regard to the
