Pacific Super-Command Disposed Of Earlier

F. D. R.'s Press Secretary Confounds Newsmeii At Quebec Conference.

QU$K. Sept. 14 -— (C?) One of the favorite speculation svorlcs of the current Quebec con- ference was neatly knocked down late today by Stephen Early. PIES! Secretary to President Roosevelt, who stated flatly that the_ ques- tion of creating a “super-com- mai-id" in the Pacific theatre was "disposed of” before this confer- ence opened and would not be dis- cussed here.

At a rind-afternoon press con- ference in the Chateau Frontenaz newsroom, Mr. Early was asked if appointment of a supreme com- mander in the Pacific nee was bel decided.

"T ere is no question present at this conference of the crea- tion of n new super-command in the Pacific area," he replied.

Many correspondents who have been writing under the belief that. this was one of the main ques- tions and have engaged in wide speculation on the choice of a ca: nder, seemed dumbfound- e . Mr. Early was asked to repeat himself several times.

He was asked what the decision was and if it was made in con- sultation with Britain.

V"I can't say,” was his answer to all such questionsi '

"The question was u before we came here and was lsposed of." he added-and he stood on that brief statement.

One reporter asked if this an- n ncement could be linked with the recommendation for the pro- motion Vice-Admlral Nimitz to rank of full Admiral.

On that question, he replied. "You may exercise the full free- dom of the press."

The whole thing arose when I. reporter asked Mr. Early for com- ment on the argument made by Republican Presidential candidate Thomas Dewey in a political speech yesterday that Gen. MacArthur should be appointed supreme com- mander in the Pacific.
