By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, April B General Douglas MacArthur had his "on to Tokyo" marching order today, hard on the heel of nussia s denunciation oi her neutrality treaty with Japan. With the Pacific war thus norl.ndina possible new and start ling developments, allied military leaders were In agreement on ine quicK.it way to end tne iignttng in Europe: Kill or capture Hitler. Capitol hill, quick to speculate that the Moscow decision Is a forerunner to soviet participation in the Pacific conflict once formal nasi resistance ends, at the same time read diplomatic Implications into the Russian ectlon. FAST DEVELOPING NEWS In brief, this was the picture in this war capital today as de velopments tumbled one upon anotheri 1. The Joint chiefs of staff assigned MacArthur. together with Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, to command the final massive of- lensivcs against japan. 2. Disclosure that General George C. Marshall, army chief of staff, told thc senate military committee that death or capture of Hitler would contribute tremendously to a collapse of the al ready faltering nazl military machine. ' 3. General belief among law-makers that President Roosevelt had extracted from Premier Stalin at thc Yalta meeting a promise that the neutrality treaty would bo denounced and that Russia would enter the war against Japan. 4. Belief, too, that Russia's action may smooth some of thc rough spots out of thc path to thc United Nations' conference at San Francisco April 25. ,' Japan Two-Man Job The joint stuff, composed of the top uniformed men of the war and navy departments, decided that turning thc full offen sive power of thc United States on Japan was a job to be directed by two men, Accordingly they announced last night that: 1 MacArthur will command all army- forces in the Pacific theater. - 2 Nimitz will command all naval force. 3 Strategic direction (the broad plans for the wart will be retained by the joint chiefs of staff. The nature of a specific operation (whether essentially sea or land) will determine which man directs It. Tho command assignments came in an announcement that spoke of "the large forces to be redeployed from Europe", and the "rapid 'advances" up through the southwest and central Pacific "which have brought us Into close proximity with the Japanese homeland and the China coast.' ' MacArthur's Command Cut ... One effect of the dlrcctivo appnrently was to remove the naVy from MBcA.rlhur'a. sphere jujujajni wncro maenrmur nao. oecn supreme aiuca conimanaer. navai forces were under his jurisdiction. Nimitz now appear to have direct command of all that is afloat, including such allied sea (orccs as British naval units now in the Pacific General H. H. Arnold retains exclusive control of his '20th air force, operating agency of the growing B-29 fleets. The other units of- Arnold's air forces, however, are left .under the field command of MacArthur. While the- Washington announcement, with Its references to thc Japanese homeland and the' China coast, suggested present strategy was being patterned with those areas, in. mind,, the Rus sian action raised now and interesting strategic possibilities. The Moscow announcement did not make clear immediately whether the USSR considers its treaty with Japan ended now or whether tho non-aggression pact runs for another full year to its original maturity date. In any event, many in official circles be lieved the Russians would strike when they felt tne situation most mllltnrlly propitious. That time, these circles suggested, undoubtedly would await end of serious resistance in Germany. Disclosure of Marshall s views on the latter subject came from two senators who declined to be quoted by name. They said the general contended that Hitler, as a symbol if not the man, is the chief inspiration for thc fanatical resistance, about which Gen. Dwight Elsenhower spoke in a letter to President Roosevelt. 'Jri iti Sat?""
