America's entry into the last war found MacArthur, a major, in Washington as press officer. Inherently conscious of the value of publicity here, in his first contacts with the press, he struck up many hard and fast friendships with newspapermen. Years later, when he was chief of staff, a newspaperman in his party stopped off on the way to an important function to telephone.

In a few moments xa. orderly was impatiently pounding on the door of the phone booth: "The general's compliments, sir," said the orderly, "and the general says will you get the hell out there, you're hoying up the show." No wonder newspapermen liked Mac-Arthur. Good as he was as a press officer, he did not hold the job long. Secretary of War Baker himself recognized that the young major had unique organizing talents which would be invaluable in the field.

By TOM WOLF (NEA Service Staff Correspondent) The last official act of General Douglas MacArthur as he ended his tour of duty as chief of staff in 1935 was to pen a message for the officers and men of the United States Army whose boss he had been for the unprecedented term of five years. "I want them to know," he said, "that I have done my best, that I have kept the soldier faith." That one sentence is the biography Stephenson of the American Bankers' he is said to have known by name Association, discussing tne guojeci "Will Your Will Work?" later tms same Manuel Quezon was to give Gen. Arthur MacArthur's son, Douglas, an 11-ounce gold baton signifying field marshalship of the Philippine Army.

Douglas MacArthur's heritage was to be further tied to the Philippines. As military governor of the islands after the Spanish war, Father Mac-Arthur helped the Filipinos draw up a civil code that was both intelligent and democratic. The crowning drama of Gen. Arthur MacArthur's life came when, disregarding strict orders from his doctor, he delivered at the 50th reunion of th G. A.

R. what he said would be his last address to his troops. As he ended his passionate oration, he staggered, dropped dead. Up rushed his old adjutant and, covering MacArthur with the regimental colors, fell dead himself across his beloved general's body. "Born In The Army-Such was the inheritance, rich in skill, courage and drama, that was born with Douglas MacArthur, on Jan.

26, 1880. Literally born into the army (at the Little Rock, barracks) Douglas MacArthur grew up in it. His first childhood recollection was the martial sound of bugles. His first childhood trip was with the army to his father's new post in New Mexico. There, when he was four, he was baptized in battle by the zing of arrows during an Indian attack on the post.

Schooled in army post schools young Doug MacArthur was appointed to West Point with the class of 1903. A brilliant military student, he blasted scholastic records that had stood for 25 years.

MODERN COMFORT FREE PARKING of Douglas MacArthur, whose present gallant battle to keep that faith in the face of overwhelming Japanese odds in the Philippines is a fitting climax to a magnificent fighting man's career. The life story of Douglas Mac-Arthur reads like a "Tom Swift in the Army," full of firsts, onlys, bests.

He was graduated first in his West Point class, was first cadet senior captain; he was the youngest division commander in France, youngest commandant in West Point history, youngest American chief of staff in history; he is the only chief of staff to hold that office more than four years, only American officer ever to become a field marshal. With all that behind him, General MacArthur has just reached 62. Tall, lean, handsome, the erstwhile "D'Artagnan of the A. E. looks fifteen years younger.

His dark hair is thinning, but he combs it proudly over the bald spots. His features and bearing are military, intense: high forehead; narrow face; thin, sensitive nose and mouth; dark, flashing eyes. Rules Are "A Refuge" According to all the rules, Gen. MacArthur's military history should have ended on December 31, 1937, when he retired from active duty in the U. S.

Army. But rules, which he once called "the refuge of weaklings," have seldom governed Douglas MacArthur's life. When the Far Eastern crisis began to reach a head last summer, President Roosevelt called MacArthur back from hia "retirement" which he had been spending helping the Philippines build a native defense. If MacArthur's present, post-retirement exploits are but a P. S.

to his story, they are a tail likely to wag the dog. Douglas MacArthur's military life properly begins in the Civil War 20 years before he was born. It begins with his father, Arthur Mac-Arthur, who, a colonel at 20, made history by leading his troops in the charge at Missionary Ridge. Father MacArthur later distinguished himself against the Spanish in the Philippines, and it was to Gen. Arthur MacArthur that Manuel Quezon surrendered his sword at (jeoJUf Olotta BsAil BRENT MASSEY- rathbone TNTERNAHONAL LADT eight girls at once.

Legend also has it that as a cadet, absent without leave, he once had to sneak back through a coal chute. It. is probably the only time in his life that he has looked really messy. For Douglas MacArthur's flair for the dramatic extends to his dress. Even in the trenches in France he managed to retain his sartorial aplomb.

Washington will never forget the plum-colored tie that graced his uniform when he was chief of staff. And Manila remembers his crisp white suits and flaming red shirts with ties to match.
