In Military
Council Seat
WASHINGTON, April 20—</P)
—Truman is moving cautiously
into Roosevelt’s seat on the coun
cil of the highest Allied military
strategy whose weight is likely to
be felt in the Pacific.
Decisions before VE day may
be called upon to review the strat

Yalta. It would not be surprising,
Washington observers say, if Tru
man summons Nimitz and MacAr
thur home for conferences.
