Prof. Hall To Join MacArthur Staff
WED NOV 10 1948... Expert On Japan Will Serve As Consultant
Prof. Robert B. Hall, who is director of the University's Center for Japanese Studies and is considered an outstanding authority on Japan, is expected to leave Washington, D. C., this week for Tokyo, where he will serve as an expert consultant in General Douglas MacArthur's headquarters.
Prof. Hall was given leave by the University until Feb. 1 from his duties as director of the center and as a professor of geography to permit him to accept the Pacific assignment.
His studies of the Far East have included several field trips to Ja. pan, the first being made in 1928. Awarded a fellowship by the Scientific Research Council in 1928-29, he received a grant-in-aid for field work in Japan from 1931 to 1935.
Following World War I, Prof. Hall was engaged in intelligence work which led to considerable travel in Europe. In World War II, he served as a colonel with the Office of Strategic Services in China and the Pacific area.
In 1942, he completed a 12 months study of oriental settlements in Latin American countries.
