ON THQE WASHINGTON FRONT
By Jack stinnett

WASHINGTON-There are broad grins on the faces of the brass hats who step briskly along the ramped corridors of the Pentagon building and. even broader grins on those who tramp the dingy halls of the Navy building these days as news arrives from the Pacific.
 It isn't over-optimism; it's just confidence that now we are rolling and going to keep rolling.
 1t took nearly seven months of bloody fighting to clean out Quad alcanal and more than 10000 Jap troops are still reported starving in the Solomons. It took even longer than that to wage the New Guinea campaign and Jap troops are still there.
 But in less than three months, the Navy, Army and Marines have smashed through the Gilberts and Marshalls and into the Carolines. The Marinnas, with Guam as their southern anchor, were next. Rabaul, with the assault on the Admiralty group, has be virtually neutralized and the great supply base of Truk is no more to be feared.
 1 have talked to a number of smiling naval men here in the last few days, always opening with the question: What is happening in the Pacific?
 There's no particular mystery a. bout it. We now have there the greatest concentration of maneu- Yerable striking power ever assem- bled-and that word "maneuver- able" is the key to the whole ex- plantation.
 Pessimists and many brass hats, who couldn't think in any terms out those of the old Army and Navy textbooks, viewed the Pacific as a virtually hopeless situation in those months after Pearl Harbor The Japs, they said, had scores of ''un- sinkable carriers" in those islands. By the time we were prepared to attack, it was said, they would be firmly entrenched from Tokyo all the way to Australia's doorstep. They were. But a new pattern of naval warfare has brought import ant victories and that pattern is in teresting.
 It consists of assembling the greatest naval carrier and amphib- icus striking power possible. Cor respondents in the Pacific have been trying to tell us about that striging power for weeks without swing away any secrets. They have mentioned horizon to-horizon-and- beyond flotillas, with carriers cap able of launching hundreds of planes"-bombers as we'll as fight CTS.
 When these task forces strike, the planes loose bombing attacks almost comparable to those of the London blitz. Then the big guns
