u. s. Combat Units
In Italy Begin
Move to Pacific
By ]. EDWARD MURRAY

ROME, May 10. (UP)-The Allies
already have begun shipping COM
bat and service troops from Italy
directly to the Pacific for the war
against Japan. Gen. Joseph T. Nc
Narney has revealed.
McNarney, deputy supreme COM
mander in the Mediterranean the
alter, said other troops would be
sent from Italy to the Pacific by
way of the United States.
1t generally was known that en-
glneering and other technical troops,
as well as certain air force person.
mel. had been en4barking for the
Pacific for several weeks, but Nc
Narney's speech was the first con-
firmation that combat troops al
ready were on the way.
McNarney said that his answer
to persistent questions from Allied
troops as to when they would be
permitted to go home would be
disappointing.
But it would be unfair if / were
not absolutely frank in answering
that question even if it is unpleas-
ant" he said.
The return to civilian life for the
majority of troops in Italy would
come only after Japan has been
defeated, he said. All troops in the
European and Mediterranean the
aters had been divided into groups
for future disposition, he said.
THE first group will consist OF
men to be retained overseas and
required for occupation, the ire
mendous job Of reestablishing law
and order in conquered Europe and
Of moving out our supplies and
breaking up installations he said
I'm the second group will come
combat and service troops who will
be transferred to active theatres in
the Far East.
Some in this group will go direct
~ from Italy to the Pacific. Some
already have gone Others will &c
by way of the United States"
