Mr.. Morgenthau is said to feel
that the congressional staff might

studied by the Treasury and handi-
cap the presentation of a precise
administration tax program. The
congressional staff has not been

sessions on taxation held at the
Treasury.
Meanwhile, the congressional tax

tax staff was out in the open
today, causing doubts in compe-
tent Capitol Hill quarters that
a new revenue bill, with higher
wartime levies, can be written In

congressional tax staff sought to
obtain information from the In

agencies, without channeling such
requests through the Treasury.

Big Joint Operations
In Pacific Hinted by
Command Statement
Macarthur Responsible
For Both Southwest
And South Theuters
By LEFT ERICKSON,

Associated Press War Correspondent.
AN ADVANCED SOUTH PACIFIC
BASE, May 14-Admiral William F.
Halsey's conference with Gen. Doug
las Macarthur together with an
official statement that Gen. Mac
Arthur is ultimately responsible for
both South and Southwest Pacific
theaters of war gave additional
weight today to the growing belief
here that full-scale joint operations
against the enemy are in the offing.
Headquarters of Admiral Halsey's
South Pacific naval force made clear
that Gen. Macarthur is considered
commander in chief in this area, as
well as in the Australia New Guinea
field, whenever any single activity
engaging both is undertaken.
Regardless of beliefs to the con-
trary, Gen. Macarthur has been
and will be responsible for strategy
and tactical decisions involving
forces of both the South and South
west Pacific theaters in Joint opera
tlons, a headquarters spokesman
declared.
The apparent division of command
informed sources here said. has been
Que to the fact that heretofore
operations in the two theaters have
not been directed generally, at the
same strategic objective.
Bomber Support Exchanged.
Ihese sources explained that,
while theoretically Gen. Macarthur
held top authority for combined op
eratlons, the major campaigns of
last fall and winter by necessity
were carried out separately.
OF course, Gen. Macarthur and
Admiral Halsey frequently called on
the other for support, chiefly in
bombing planes, but both command
ers were so busy beating back the
japanese in their respective theaters
that each had to act independently
as opportunity dictated.
Admiral Halseys naval victories
and the decisive Guadalcanal cam
paign halted the enemy's advance
eastward. Gen. Macarthur, at the
same time, turned back the Japa-
nese from Port Moresbv, New
Guinea, and began driving them
from the north coast of that island.
Now the commanders have an op-
portunity for the first time TO or
Ranlze and coordinate major Joint
operations. the sources here believe.
This conviction, they declare. is
given strong support by the an
nouncement yesterday of Admiral
Halsey's visit to Gen MacArthur's
headquarters and of continuing
meetings between representatives of
their staffS
Positions for RabauI Offensive.
At present American and Allied
forces mold positions from which
two-pronged offensive may be aimed
at Rabaul. New Britain. a strongly
fortified key base in Japan's for
ward line of island entrenchment.
Close coordination is essential
for such all offensive with Admiral
Halsey's forces closing from the
Solomons on the east and Gen. Mac
Arthur pushing north and west from
New Guinea.
The designation of Gen. Mac
Arthur as boss over the strategy
of both the South and Southwest
Pacific appears logical decision in
the light Of military considerations.
The role of the ground forces in
the coming Pacific offensive will be
to seize and hold land positions from
the enemy, The Navy's part will be
to land these attacking ground
forces cover their transport and
supply and keep the japanese fleet
at bay

executed. The retaking Of Guadal-
canal and the North African opera
tions were forerunners of many
more such operations to come"
Admiral Horne expressed belief
that the naval battle as such-bat-
: tleship against battleship. big feet
against big fleets out Of the pic
ture for the future" and declared
that missions in.modern naval war
fare are generally accomplished by
task forces"
I'm these" he said. "the cruiser
plays an essential role. The ideal
task force is one built around the
aircraft carrier and, since the car
rier is relatively inferior in arma-
ment, it is necessary that some one
run interference for her.
The cruiser is the ideal type for
this from the standpoint of f1eXi-
bility, speed and armament. The
cruisers have played and are play
ing continuingly important part in
this war. Their importance, as with
the carrier, is indicated by the high
percentage of attrition and damage
received"
Fund Cut Two Billions.
In its report to Congress, the COM
mittee disclosed that it had cut
the funds requested by the Navy by
approximately $2,044, lot ,802, but
said there had not been a single
reduction in the allotments for
ships, planes, guns, ammunition or
service personnel numbers.
mo other safe course may be pur-
sued" said the committee. The
Nays job ahead is tremendous, and
it must be provided with every es-
sential to make it's accomplishment
less difficult and absolutely sure and
decisive"
Buried in the mass of testimony
was an inferential note for Japan,
one which served notice that the
full forces of the United States
Navy would be turned in that di-
rection once the United Nations
have won their victory in Europe.
1t came in the form of a question.
