Delay Seen In Moving
Air Force To Pacific

WASHINGTON, April 11.@R-
General movements of Army Air
Forces from Europe to the Pacific
will wait until at least 80 days after
VE-Day. Some CRITICAL units
may be shifted earlier.
An Air Force spokesman dis
closing this today. said it would
take month or more to put into
effect the administration for such
a vast transfer. Some units will be
assigned to a. relatively smalp'
occupational air force in Europe.
Emphasizing that the Air Forces
intend to do to Japan What they
have already done to Germany
the spokesman said all the air
strength that can be employed
will be thrown against the Nip
ponese. The only limiting factor
will be land available for bases.
Some units will be sent by the
way of the United States, with
numerous men given home leaves.
Many will be redeployed by other
routes. .
During the early phases of de-
ployment, the spokesman said,
there will be no substantial de-
mobilization of AAF personnel ex-
cept for those eligible men already
in the United States.
None will be demobilized until
their adjusted rating scores have
been published throughout the

PLEA FOR ITALY
AS Ally HEARD

| WASHINGTON, April 11.-tR-
Pleas for recognition of Italy as a
full ally were heard today by the
House Foreign Affairs Committee
but Rep. Mundt (R.-S.D) objected
that the committee was going out
side its province.
Rep. Mundt interrupted hear
ing on a resolution calling for
recognition to express "amazement
and disappointment" that the War
and Navy Departments hadn't been
conculted.
Pointed out that Congress can
not recognize the former Axis
partner, Hundt said:
at dhe resolution) is an at
tempt on the part of the branch of
Government which has the least
information to tell the branch with
the most information what it should
do
He told reporter later he will
write the secretaries of State and
War asking their views on Italy.
Advocates of the resolution, in
troduced by Rep. Marcantonio
(ALP-N.Y), jammed into the COM
mittee hearing to urge its adoption
in time to give Italy place in the
United States conference at San
Francisco later this month.
Recognition Of Italy as a full
.ally-instead of it's pres sen
designation as "co-belligerent'
would make that country eligible
to receive lend-lease aid from the
United States.

further delayed by the lack of a
qualified replacement, if they are
"eSsential'' men, or by some nee
essity which is unforeseen now.
The AAF is using the Army
scoring procedure to determine
eligibility for rehabilitation and
expects to release the same per-
centage as the other A m y
branches.
