‘Heved Understood by * F. D. R., Churchill By HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staft Correspondent | ONDON, Feb. 17.—Appointment
supreme. allied commander for European theater of war, prob-
soon, was believed to be af
08 expectation today. ; “It is the only active theater where
'& full command setup now is miss-| ing. In it British and Americans{
’k side by side in closest liaison, but without a commander-in-chief. The two active fighting fronts are commanded -by Gen.| ‘Dwight D. Eisenhower in North rics and Gen. Douglas MacArthur
Official silence cloaks the possible § tment of a commander-in-chief for the European theater, and even speculation is discouraged. But can be assumed that President
ence similar to the new Africa setup, ‘in which Eisenhower became commander with veteran British fight‘ing leaders in charge of each arm of the service.
Needed for Drive
} The apparent necessity for the appointment of a European com-mander-in-chief was emphasized by the declarations of Mr. Roosevelt ‘and Mr. Churchill that the axis rould be hit across the continent 2 the next nine months. Naturally no one is tipping off the axis when and how, but it can| assumed that before many ‘months Churchill’s “burn and bleed” policy will be put into action. {The allies are not embarressed by lack of available material in seeking a commander-in-chief for Europe. Any possible list is bound to include such names as Gen. Sir Archibald - P. Wavell, Sir Alan Brooke, chief of the imperial gengral staff, Lieut. Gen. A, G. L. Mc- ; Naughton, Canadian commander in Britain; and Even Gen. George C. Marshall, U. S. chief of staff.
No Hint of Favorite
There was not the slightest indigation who might get the nod. Raually, there was not the slightest ‘doubt that whether a Briton or American receives the post, he will “ obtain the fullest co-operation of all hands. Among the list of avdilable com‘manders, Wavell has had more fighting experience than any other "British chieftain outside those run- . ning the ‘African offensive. . Some quarters believed Marshall would prefer an active fighting post ‘rather than a planning and ‘administrative job in Washington. However, American responsibility

AIR COMMITTEE PLAN APPROVED
Backed by Rules Body Despite Results From
Other Groups.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 (U. P.) — The house rules committee has approved a resolution creating a permanent 21-member aviation committee, overriding protests by committees now charged with jurisdiction in that field.
Rep. Jack - Nichols (D. Okla.) sponsor of the resolution, stressed that its jurisdiction would be limited to legislation affecting civil and commercial aviation and that the group would not invade the fields of naval and military aviation.
Members of the house naval and military affairs committee fought the resolution, as did those on the house interstate and foreign -commerce committee.
The proposal’ is considered to have a good chance of adoption by the full house inasmuch as the sizable Republican minority is formglly committed by its leader, Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr. (Mass.), to support of the plan, and there was scant majority opposition in committee. Proponents contend the standing committee is = an "essential prerequisite to adequate congressional handling of aviation problems on the vastly-expanded scale expected in the post-war era. .
