’Back Seat Suits MacArthur
General Sticks
•By His Strategy
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC, Sept
22—ITPJ—Reports that the new
©Southeast Asia command of Lord
Louis Mountbatten may subordi-
nate the command of Gen. Douglas
MacArthur were recognized offi-
cially today by MacArthur in a
statement expressing willingness to
a fill any role assigned him and
• strongly defending his concept of
Pacific strategy.
British and American press spec-
ulation on the matter began imme-
diately after the Quebac confer-
ence.
e One particular paper predicted
"the Mountbatten command would
include the Southwest Pacific Is-
lands and that he would review
Southwest Pacific strategy.
‘I have no personal military
9 ambitions whatsoever and am
perfectly content in such role
as may be prescribed for me,"
General MacArthur said today
in a statement which expressed
confidence that Japan should
be hit hard at key holdings In-
9 stead of rolled back slowly and
at great cost from island to is-
land.
The statement was issued while 1
MacArthur's jungle troops on New
Guinea were exploiting swiftly
•their victories at Lae and Salamaua
and while heavy air blows were
being struck ahead of newly-won
islands in the Solomons MacArthur
has been directing the New Guinea
in the Solomons. MacArthur has
been directing the New Guinea op-
• erations from the field and, since
the new offensive opened June 30.
he has had over-all command of
the operations personally directed
by Admiral William F. Halsey in
the South Pacific.
• “Island hopping, with extrav-
agant leases and slow progress
—some press reports Indicating
victory postponed as long as
1949—la not my idea of how to
end the war as soon and cheap-
ly as possible,” the statement
• said.

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 22—(PP—Ad-’
vices from Denmark today , said
that two German soldiers were
slain there last weekend as the
Nazis imposed harsher measures on |
Danish citizens in an effort to
check increasing defiance ot Ger-
man military rule.
The slaying of a soldier Saturday
night as he was walking from his
camp near the city brought a fine
of 500,000 crowns 18100 000 nominal-
ly) on the Danish capital, these ad-
vices declared.
The Nazis last week imposed a
fine of 1 000.000 crowns ($200,000)
on Copenhagen for the slaving ot
another soldier in the city, and the
Germans posted an offer of 50,000
crowns ($10,000) reward for infor-
mation leading to the arrest of the
assailant.
When a German soldier was shot
on a street in Odense Sunday night,
the Nazis retaliated by sharpening
the state of siege already in ef-
fect. All amusement centers were
ordered closed until Sept. 24; a
curfew was imposed from 7 p. m.
until 5 a. m . and restaurants were
forced to close their doors at 6 p.
m.
