Military plans speeded up for Nip conquest say
Washington AP Maj Gen Joan B M Franklin told a Senate committee the timetable for defeating Japan has been moved forward increasing Pacific shipping needs and reducing troop return rates from Europe to the United States. He indicated more units might move directly from Europe to the Pacific, but denied signaling a change in overall troop numbers or furlough policy. He noted August would see fewer returns than planned. Gen Jacob L Devers said the Pacific plan now targets a single crushing blow with mass shipping from Europe and the West Coast. Franklin cited shifts in the calendar driven by recent victories and emphasized prioritizing shipments for MacArthur and Nimitz. Col Monroe Johnson complained the War Department failed to keep the committee advised on troop arrivals and advance notice for movements. Franklin acknowledged the rate of returns had accelerated from 435,000 to 675,000 in the first 81 days after V E Day.
