AMERICAN PLAN
SINGLE CRUSHING BLOW
Rec. 1 p.m. WASHINGTON, July 28. "Our"plan is to mass a great force for %a single crushing blow against Japan. Tnere is no use doing *it piecftneal," said General Jacob Devers, new Chief of the Army Ground Forces, when addressing a Press conference.
General Devers added that he hoped to get 7,000.000 men re-deployed against the Japanese in a single blow. That did not mean that all would be in the firing line on one small island. Millions would be used for the supply and other services in the United States and elsewhere, but all would be part of a single team with a single objective.
