Lieutenant General Robert L. Eichelberger, who recently retired, said today that as the castern strategic picture changes Japan becomes "more vulnerable but also more valuable" to the
walh United States.
Although best known for leading the First Corps Eighth Army from Australia to Japan and com- manding the Eighth Army from the Occupa- tion's first day until last September, General Eichelberger has been closely connected with Far Eastern military intelligence.
He served and travelled-extensively in Northern Asia, China, Japan and the Philippines and handled Chinese-and Russian affairs. In the War Department in Washington" during the 'twenties.
