United States, Great Britain and the! During 1944 we expect to have the Bombers and fighters of the Tenth and the Fourteenth air forces have been getting most of the headlines, but the biggest story now In the China-Burma-India theater concerns the rapid growth and the extensive operations of the U. S. air service command. Nine-tenths of this war as In past wars Involves logistics. The Air Ser vice command, commonly referred to as ASC, Is handling the logical end of this fight to the finish with the Japs. Logistics, a puzzling word to laymen, means supply and movemeni. The definition is simple, but ASC's job in this theater tis unbelievably complex. Not only must supplies and men be brought from half-way around the world, but equipment must be main tained under all sorts of trying condi tions. ASC's sparkplug in India is Brig. Gen. Robert C. Oliver, 41, who said in an interview: "In June, 1942, a half-dozen of us started building up ASC out here. The assignment was by far the toughest we'd ever faced. Our priorities were low. We did the best we could while other theaters got most of America's production. But now there are several thousand of us. By the end of the year our or- AMERICAN HEROES . v BY LEFF V-.-' 7 .

Marshall as commander of the Anglo American forces In the field. In an editorial for Its Issue appear ing Saturday the authoritative but un official weekly service paper declares that Marshall's role already has been decided. Details have not been com municated to Congress, It adds, and many of them probably will become known only as they are disclosed by the development of military offensives Terming the assignment, which was disclosed Tuesday by Kirke L. Simpson of the Associated Press, "the greatest compliment that could be bestowed upon any soldier, up to this time. In any period of war," the Register adds that It shows President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill are In full agreement that Marshall Is the best qualified officer available to put into the grand strategy developed during the conferences at Casablanca, Que bec, and Washington. Last week the Army and Navy Jour nal, likewise an unofficial but authori tative publication, said that "power ful Interests," whom it did not Iden tify, would like to eliminate Marshall " 1 from the Washington scene.
