Far East Commands Now Under Control of a Navy Admiral
Admiral Felix Stump expanded his Pacific command to include all U S forces in the Far East with headquarters at Pearl Harbor. The move places Navy supreme command in the Far East, disbands the Far East Air Force, and shifts U N banner to Seoul under Stump. He asserts Korea forces could hold if another communist attack occurs while U S troops withdraw from Japan. He cites reduced delays from a unified command and denies risk in the broad shift.
