Washington Promoting Generals Sparks Senate Battle
Washington reports say the army pushes for permanent wartime promotions for generals Patton and Somervell, while the Senate Military Affairs Committee resists. The push includes General Wainwright, now a prisoner in Japan, complicating possible promotions for Patton and Somervell. Draft director Hershey and manpower chief McNutt faced sharp questioning over draft orders and policy. A Truman Committee probe recovered Littell reports on the Breakers hotel as a potential army hospital, with Justice Department tugs and beachheads of political pressure shaping the outcome. General Wedemeyer in New Delhi, idle amid strategic study of Lincoln, reflects the disjointed theater of war affairs.
