Taylor Threatens Seizure.
WLB Chairman George w. Taylor
telegraphed Mr.. Lewis yesterday
that unless the work stoppages were
ended promptly the Government
will have no alternative but to seize
and operate the mines on strike
Mr.. Taylor did not set a deadline
for return to work, however, and
it was held unlikely there would be
seizure Immediately.
In his telegram to UNIV officials
Dr. Taylor said the strikes were
hampering production of steel and
other vital war materials.
The board calls upon the United
Mine Workers of America at this
critical stage of the war to take
every step necessary to. bring about
the immediate termination of these
work stoppages and the resumption
of the production of COAL" Mr.. Tay-
lOr said.

out of the path to the United Ma

April 25.
Job for Two Men.
The joint staff, composed Of the
top uniformed men of the War and
Navy Departments. decided that
turning the full offensive power of
the United States on Japan was a
Job to be directed by two men. Ac-
|cordingly they announced last night
that:
Gen Macarthur will command all
Army forces in the Pacific theater.
Admiral Nimitz will command all
naval forces.
Strategic direction Cthe broad
plans for the war; will be retained
by the joint chiefs of staff The ma
ture of specific operation (wheth-
er essentially sea or land will de-
termine which man directs it.
The command assignments came
in an announcement that spoke of
the large forces to be redeployed
from Europe" and the rapid ad-
vances" up through the Southwest
and Central Pacific which have
brought us into close proximity with
the Japanese homeland and the
China coast"
Jurisdiction Defined.
One effect Of the directive appar-
emily was to remove the Navy from
Gen. MacArthrr's sphere of COM
mand. In the Southwest Pacific,
where Gen. Macarthur had been
supreme Allied commander, naval
forces were under his jurisdiction.
Admiral Nimitz now appears to have
direct command of all that is afloat,
including such Allied sea forces as
British naval units now in the Pa
cific.
Gen. H. H. Arnold retains eXclu-
sive control of his goth Air Force, op-
Grating agency of the growing B-29
fleets. The other units of Gen. Ar
nold's air forces, however, are left
under the field command of Gen.
Macarthur.
Disclosure of Gen. Marshall 5
views on the situation in Germany
came from two Senators who de-
clined to be quoted by name They
said the general contended that Hit
Ter. as a symbol II not the man, is
the chief inspiration for the fanat-
ical resistance about which Gen.
Dwight Eisenhower spoke in a let
ter to President Roosevelt yesterday.
Gen. Eisenhower sounded the same
note IN expressing the conviction
that so long as any of the Hitler
gang retains a semblance of po-
ltical power, I believe the effort will
be to continue resistance not only
throughout Germany. but in all Of
the outlying areas, including the
western port areas of France and
Denmark and Norway"
A reduction in the fighting to the
status of guerrilla warfare, however,
would release substantial portions of
Allied troops. 1t is then that most
legislators believe the Soviets will
drive on the Japanese.

Care in Specializing
On Soviet Plans Urged
By Censorship Chief
Py the Associated Press,

Byron Price, director of censor
ship, yesterday reiterated the need
for keeping certain vital inforrna-
ton away from the enemy.
Asserting that reports or discus
sion of expectations or probabili-
ties involving future war plans may
be of great value to the enemy"
Mr.. Price said in a note to news
paper editors and radio broadcast
erS:
For example, published or broad
cast speculations or statements
regarding the probable intentions
of Soviet RUSSIA toward Japan,
however erroneous they might
prove to be, could possibly lead to
a Japanese attack on Russia"
The text of his memorandum:
With the war in Europe at its
critical stage and the war in the
Far East building up in fury and
significance, I take this means to
remind you that the success Of
voluntary censorship depends on
continued vigilance.
Enemy Still Listening.
The enemy still is listening to
learn the time, place and method of
future attacks, the sequence Of oper-
ations and the strength, technical
makeup and equipment of our at
tacking forces
I'VE must take particular pains to
protect troop and ship movements
In this connection you are re-
minded again of the code stipula
ton that letters from combat zones
are censored at the source for pri-
vate circulation only and should not
be published if they will inform the
enemy about military operations.
American communities still may
suffer from enemy attack in one
form or another. With his bases SO
far away, the enemy will never
know where his shots are falling, or
how correct his operations, unless
we tell him.
Reports or discussion of expecta-
tions or probabilities involving fu-
ture war plans may be of great value
to the enemy. For example, pub
lished or broadcast speculations or
statements regarding the probable
intentions of Soviet Russia toward
Japan, however erroneous they
might prove to be. could possibly
lead to i, a japanese attack on
Russia
Wou,d Damape
whether such a speculation or
prediction were true or false, the
military interests of the United
States would be damaged and the
wars sacrifice of American life
might be prolonged. Please weigh

Technically the pact has another
year to run, but when one govern
ment tells another that such pact
has lost it's meaning and that tc
continue it is meaningless, one
would hesitate to say that the spirit
Of the pact still existed.
There was lack of official COM
ment, although some may be forth
coming in the immediate future
The Russians put out their an
nouncement and let any one think
what he wished to about it.
This much, however, stands out
like a headlight:
Foreign Commissar Vyacheslav
Molotov's note told the japanese
fatty that they were an ally of Hit
lerite Germany-the most hated
thing on earth to the Russians.
In the opinion of some foreign
observers here, the Russians only
signed the pact with Japan in an
effort to avoid two-front war
being fearful of Hitler's intentions
from the beginning.
Conditions Changed.
However, as the note which Mr.,
Molotov handed Japanese Ambassa-
dor Naotake Sato yesterday empha-
sized, conditions have changed
radically" since the treaty was
signed.
News of the Soviet governments
action. given to the Russian people
by the Moscow radio four houf1
after Sato was summoned to Mr..
Molotov's office, created an electric
effect throughout the Russian
capital. ~. Z.
1t was plain the Russian bomb
shell had caused the greatest excite
ment in japanese diplomatic quar-
tiers in Moscow since Japan went to
war with the United States and
Britain.
japanese newspapermen were
summoned hurriedly from their
quarters in the Hotel Metropole to
hear the news, and for several hours
there was considerable traffic be-
tween the Japanese Embassy and
the Soviet post office.
Whether the japanese had ex-
pected the Russian action at this
time was a matter of speculation
Foreign diplomats in Moscow re-
called that Sato was rumored to be
making plans to return to Tokyo
early in March to report to his gov
ernment, and Speculated he might
have delayed in order to be on hand
in the event of development such
as that which has just taken place.
The Soviet note appeared not to
have left the Japanese any road
open for proposing another pact.
For it is plain that, inasmuch as
Japan was accused Of helping Hit
ler in the war against the U. S. S.
R., the fact that conditions were
changed was the reason the pact
was denounced.
Russia, as she has pointed out to
the japanese before, is we'll aware
that Tokyo took full advantage of
Hitler's invasion of the Soviet
Union, and as the Russians have
reminded the Japanese, many of
her Gapan's) military leaders felt
Hitler would win.
Many persons in foreign diplo-
matte quarters today asked one an
other how far the Soviet Union was
prepared to go in this reversed dip
lomatic picture
The thousands who studied to-
days Moscow papers expecting to
find there the first oficial reaction
to the denunciation of the pact saw
instead about IS per cent Of each
paper devoted to a council decree
dealing with the stepping up pro-
duction Of horses, goats. sheep. dogs,
chickens and rabbits.
The statement which was first
given to the world by the Moscow
radio at o'clock last night was sur
rounded by hundreds of words of
this new decree and comments on It,
