Pointed Out
BY RICHARD HARRIS


10TH ARMY HEADQUART-
ERS, Okinawa, Aug. 3-U.H-
1t. Gen James H. Doolittle, COM
mander of the Eighth Air Force,
called for the appointment of a
single supreme commander for
the Pacific War in an Army Air
Forces Day speech Wednesday.
He told soldiers of Gen. Jo-
seph w. Stilwells 10th Army he
was convinced that unity of
command through the naming
Of a single overall commander
for ground, sea and Air Forces
was essential for victory over
Japan.
Doolittle's remarks, disclosed
today, made him the first gen.
eral officer in the Pacific cam
paign to criticize publicly the
present divided command in that
theater.
DUAL CONTROL
I'm der the present set-up,
Gen. Douglas Macarthur COM
mands all Army forces in the
Pacific and Admiral Chester w.
Nimitz, all Navy forces. Each
has a number of air forces under
his command.
(This dispatch was relayed
through Manila, and presumably
was approved by censors in Mac
Arthur's command)
Doolittle said unity of COM
mand had proved itself in North
Africa, Sicily and Europe and
added pointedly:
"We had divided command at
Pearl Harbor."
He praised the coordination
of the various Armies, Navies
and Air Forces under Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower in the
European, African and Mediter-
ranean campaigns. He lauded
Eisenhower for his "open-mind-
edness" in understanding the re-
spective functions of the differ
ent services"

tute members of team - all

MISSING IN ACTION"

Mf. ana MTS. BTdSCue Mul1lIlS,
of Omaha, have received a mes
sage informing them that their
son, Pfc. Burley E. Mullins, was
missing in action in France on
January 6 1945. He was shipped
overseas in November, and was
there only two months when re-
ported missing.
The last letter received by his
parents from him is given below.
Dear Nom:
Will drop you a few lines to
let you hear from me. This leaves
me we'll and mean as a snake /
guess. l hope it finds you all
we'll and making it fine.
Well, Nom, this place is not
like the States, even if you are
not on the lines. I have been off
the lines several days and hope
I don't have to go back up there,
for those birds are really tough.
But not as tough as We are l do
not think. I have just seen two
of the enemy out in a field and
I am sure they won't bother
anyone else, and you can guess
what happened to them.
like my buddies just fine
here, but I had rather be at home
as anywhere I know. but l know
that God will help me to what
ever He sees fit. Nom, you know
Christ was killed for the sins of
the world, and He did not dread
it, for God was all his depend
ence and He could depend upon
Him. So, l am not a bit better or
near as good as He. They can
destroy my body but they can't
touch my soul. Nom, if I happen
to get back alive l am sure you
will be surprised at the changes
He has made in me. / will never
be the same I was when T left
home, for it will be by Gods
blessing and good will if I get
back home again. Tell uncle
Boyd and aunt Rosa l have Oft
en- thought of what they told me
andI hope and pray to get back
for I want to talk lot with
them and all OF you, and | want
to counsel and raise my children
up to the right life. But if l new
er get back, you all teach my
children the right road to travel.
1t is awful narrow and the gate
is narrow also. The narrow road
is hard to travel and the gate is
hard to get through but if you
enter through the gate you will
never be dissatisfied Or ever
want to leave all the pretty
things or pleasure you can see
for ever and ever. Though it is
hard to get there it is not impos-
sible if one tries hard enough.
Don't let this bother you, for
had to write it to ease my mind.
Don't worry so much over me
