MacArthur's Spirits High On Lending
Allied Commander Reolizes Burning
Ambition in Victory

Editors Note: William B. Dick inson, veteran war correspondent and United Press manager in the Southwest Pacific, has accom- panied Gen. Douglas Macarthur on virtually every amphibious ana air-borne laning the general has made since the early days of the New Guinea campaign. Dickinson was the only correspondent to ny in the aerial cavalcade accom- panying MacArthur to Atsugi.
 BY WILLIAM B. DICKINSON United Press Staff Correspondent Atsugi, Japan, Aug. 30.-(UP)-- Gen. Douglas MacArthur stepped from his C-54 transport plane, Ba- taan, onto the imperial soil Of Ja- pan today with the words:
 Well, we got here, didn't We?"
 Macarthur was in high good humor as he stepped from his plane exactly on scheduled time at l:oS F. M. (12:58 A. M. EWT).
 The preliminary occupation IS going splendidly," MacArthur said aThere is every indication that 1t will continue without friction or bloodshed.'
 Excellent Weather
 The supreme commander flew up from .Okinawa in bright sunshine through a calm blue sky flecked with white clouds.
 A crowd of photographers sur rounded Macarthur as he stepped from the plane, among them Jap anese cameraman. The Americans pushed the Japanese back out ot camera range.
 Macarthur laughed and told the Americans they would have to get their Japanese competitor to capitu- late.
 It. Gen. Robert Eichelberger commander of the 8th Army, greet ed Macarthur.
 ''It's been a long hard road iron Melbourne to Tokyo" Macarthur said. but this looks like the pay off"
 Eichelberger told correspondents:
 This is the beachhead where was supposed to land in the in. vas.on of Japan. General MacAr' thur gave me this area. certainly never expected to get here by plant without a shot being fired at me
 For the first time in the wal Macarthur was accompanied in th' same plane by It. Gen. Richart Sutherland, his chief of staff. Neve! before had they taken the risk tha both night be lost in single plan' crGckup.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-08-30

Othrs who rode with the gen. erals were Brig. Gems. Bonner Eel lers and Charles Whitney, and Col. Roger Egeberg, his aide. The plane was piloted by It. Col. w. E. (Dusty) Phoades, Palo Alto, Calif., former chief pilot of United AirlineS who has been rTacArthur's pilot for 8 long time.
 Hundre of CTS surrounded Mac- Arthur a few moments after his plane landed. They cheered and s,-outed and Macarthur smiled and waved back at them.
 MacArthur puffed at his corncob pipe.
 It was not his first trip to Japan. He had been here almost 40 years ago as a young lieutenant just out of West Point.
 Aside from the Japanese news paper photographer there were no Japanese on hand to witness the generals landing. Macarthur paused only momentarily at the airstrip, glancing at the operations tower where there was a sign: "Atsugi Airdrome squadron, first in Tokyo" Before getting itno car and driving to his new Yokohoma head quarters, Macarthur said there was every indication the Japanese were acting in good faith. He said they had disarmed and demobilized some 30O,00O troops in this area although IS armed Jap divisions are still believed to be in the vicin- ity.
 In the outlying war theaters, he said, the war has practically ceased.

talkative and their faces lack ex- pression when they come of the plane.
 There is an impressive contrast between them and the outbound passengers who, after 8 day or two of rest in Natal, are embarking for Miami.
 Here they are free to come and go as they please within the limits of post regulations. They are give1, cigarette rations, have 24-hour mess and 24-hour movies, may en- gage in athletic contests and may occupy their time in a dozen other ways.
 For most of them, the routine immediately after landing is the same. They dump their baggage and head for the "coke" line. Il is familiar sight to see Yank three to six service stripes on his arm, with as many bottles oi 'coke' in his hands, drinking them one after the other until he car hold no more.
