‘The Difficult We Can Do Now, the Impossible Later,” Is Motto.

By GEORGE WELLER

SOMEWHERE IN AUSTRALIA, Sept. 18.—“The difficult we can do © now; for the impossible it will take a little longer.” That is the saying of Maj. Gen. George C. Kenney,

who succeeds Lieut. Gen. George H. Brett as allied air chief under Gen.

Douglas MacArthur. Any visitor to Kenney, can read

this saying for it is under the glass top of his desk, and placed to face whoever is talking with him. - Glancing down at the adjuration while reporting, general officers will soon learn to drop the word “cannot” from their reports. Kenney is short, leathery and frank, and 53 years of age. Per- _ sonally modest, he talks straight and seeks no publicity. He believes in discipline and does not think that the air force should be any less strict than the other branches of the armed forces.

He's No Martinet

He's far from being a martinet. . His manner, for example, of getting .casual-minded aviators to observe the salute is to salute them first. “The salute is not a sign of subordination but is simply a courteous form of military greeting,” Kenney has told his men. Maj. Gen. Kenne§, like Lieut. Gen. Brett, Maj. Gen. Lewis H. Brereton, chief of U. S. air forces in India, and Maj. Gen. Ralph Royce (who led U. S. bombers from Australia in their last raid on Jap bases in the Philippines), is a flying general but differs from them in being a fighter pilots’ general rather than a bomber pilots’. It is fighters that he knows best, ~ for he was a fighter pilot himself in the first world war, and has stayed with them most of the time since. Besides being a pilot, Kenney is well versed as an aeronautical engineer and has already made corrective changes, in California, in America’s still largely unfought P-38 fighter. z

Promotions Due

It is likely that several fighter pilots, whose ability is so great that the major burden of fighting the whole distance from the Philippines through Java to Australia is being borne by them, will soon receive relief, and promotions. Gen. Kenney, like his predecessors, has been frequently in New Guinea, already, and the changeover to his command is not a sudden but a smooth and prepared-for transition.

Col. Roane Waring of Memphis, Tenn,, is up for election as national. commander of the American Legion in Kansas City Monday. The withdrawal of other candidates makes his election likely.
