WASHINGTON, April 6 -
General Douglas Macarthur had
his ION to Toyko" marching or
ders today. hard on the heels OF
Russia's denunciation of her
neutrality treaty with Japan.
With the Pacific war thus
portending possible new and
startling developments, Allied
military leaders were in agree
ment on the quickest way to end
the fighting in Europe:
Kill or capture Hitler.

promise that the Neutrality
Treaty would be denounced and
that Russia would enter the war
against Japan.
4. Belief, too, that Russia's
action may smooth some Of the
rough spots out of the path to

The joint staff, composed Of
the top uniformed men of the
War and Navy Departments, de-

job to be directed by two men.
Accordingly they announced last

all Army forces in the Pacific
theater.
2-Nimitz will command all
naval forces.
