oughly disliked by guardians of the
public purse and by standing in
line for PWA funds did Gen. Doug
las Macarthur achieve a minimum
OF his aims while chief of staff.
But the progress toward the
realization of those rudimentary
aims was necessarily so slow that
they had not reached fruition when
his four years of service as chief
OF staff were up.
He wanted TO continue on as
chief of staff until at least his
primary dreams for the improve
ment of the army were realized.
However, tremendous pressure was
being brought to bear on President
Roosevelt 10 replace him.
The sniping that had begun with
his evacuation OF the bonus army
had shown little signs Of abatc-
ment through the last two years

But the striking clarity of his
