Taft Wants Macarthur
Called Home 10 HeIp
Plan Japs' Defeat
By the Associated Pres.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
said today that Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur should be brought to Wash
ington to help determine final STRAIT
|egy to defeat the Japanese.
Noting that Admiral Chester w.
Nimitz was in Washington last
week, the Ohio Senator said he
regards 1t as significant" that Gen.
Macarthur has not been summoned
here since the war began.
Il think the high command
should bring Gen. Macarthur home
and consult him on the plans to
beat the Japanese" Senator Taft
said. Il think he has shown he
knows how to fight the Japs as
well as the Navy knows how to fight
in its own area"
Speculation in Congress.
There has been much speculation
in Congress over the choice of a
supreme commander for the final
drive on Tokyo. Admiral Nimitz and
Gen. Macarthur are regarded as
possibilities. along with Gen. George
c Marshall, Army chief of staff.
In any event, Senator George,
Democrat, of Georgia said he thinks
Gen. MacArthur's experience ought
to be utilized.
He is the best man they have for
directing land fighting. the Georgian
told a reporter HE has demon
strated remarkable care and thought
for his troops. In every case, his
landing losses have been small,
which pretty we'll argues to a lay
man that he knows the Japanese
and how to fight them"
Committee Not Told.
Senator Johnson, Democrat, of Col
orado takes the view there may be a
lot of cleanup work to be done in the
Philippines and other island areas
and that Gen. Macarthur is almost
irreplaceable" for that task.
Senator Johnson said the Military
Affairs Committee, of which he is
member, has been given no in
format ton about any decisions that
may have been made on the Pacific
command.
Some members, however, indicated
the question might be preached to-
day when Undersecretary of War
Robert P. Patterson and 1t. Gen
Thomas T. Handy. deputy chief of
staff, appear before closed session.

mainland we will crush him on the
sea.
IF he attempts to land" he con-
tinued, I'VE will intercept him at
the waters edge and drive him
back into the sea.
IF he should finally succeed in
landing we will annihilate him with
sledge- blows"
The broadcast was recorded by
the Federal Communications Com
mission.
