AUTHORITY PLACED

HONOLULU, Dec 17-President Truman's announcement of a re- vised Army and Navy Command setup served today to clarify a troublesome source of friction that has existed between the services in the Pacific Area for months.
 In effect, the new Command ar rangement for the Middle Pacific largely reestablishes and redefines the authority which the Commando CT in Chief, Pacific Fleet, held there prior to l945. It gives the Navy operational command of the Army in Hawaii, and limits General Mac Arthur's command over the Army in the Central Pacific
 Several weeks ago a high Navy officer here expressed his opinion in an interview that an 'intoler- able" situation existed in the Pa cific Command. The Navy felt that it had responsibility in the Central Pacific without authority to carry out it's mission.
