WASHINGTON, July 27 —J/P)—
Maj. Gen. John Franklin told the
, Senate Committee “the mili4ary
; time table defeat of Japan” had
moved forward and for that rea
son he said more soldiers will be
sent directly from Europe to the
Pacific than originally anticipat
ed.
Gen. Franklin, acting chief of
transportation for Army Service
forces, asserted this would cause
a reduction in the rate of the re
turn of troops to this country in
August and succeeding months.
He testified before the War In
vestigating Committee currently
•inquiring into the transportation
crisis resulting from heavy trans
continental movement of troops.
Gen. Jacob Devers told a news
conference yesterday the plan in
the Pacific was a new mass of
forces to deliver “a single crush
ing blow” against Japan. He com
mented “There’s no use doing it
piecemeal.”
