Washington. D. C. STORY BEHIND MONTGOMERY- ( BRADLEY COMMAND SHIFT There ii significant background behind the appointment of British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery to command two American armies, thereby taking away most of the command of Lieut. Gen. Omar N. Bradley. There are also Interesting reasons why it wus kept such a hush-hush matter from the Ameri­ can public. General Bradley has now been awarded the bronte star by Eisenhower and congratulated by Churchill to take the sting out of his loss of the First and Ninth armies. The idea that Bradley made the transfer him­ self also haa been publicised. Despite these maneuvers it is known inside the war depart­ ment that highest V. S. war chiefs opposed the transfer to Montgomery and that it was put Left: A troopship at sea.

Right: Red Cross workers, always on hand, Background of the reshuffle goes wave goodbye to troops as an army transport begins Its overseas voyage from the Boston port. back to the landing in Normandy last summer when Montgomery was given Caen as his objective, while Bradley was to take Cherbourg. Bradley reached his objective ahead of schedule in a new type of of­ fensive fighting, in which U. S. troops did not wait for supplies to come up nor for snipers to be wiped out. Montgomery, using more conserva­ tive. slow-moving old-fashioned tac­ tics. sat with his army at Caen and either could not or would not break through until long after schedule, and until Bradley, ignoring Mont­ gomery, smashed the Nazi lines to the south and started the lightning dash to Paris. ‘Montgomery Demoted.* Afterward, the Stars and Stripes carried a story that Bradley was being promoted to the rank of full general and would supersede Mont­ gomery. The Stars and Stripes be­ ing an official army newspaper, the story naturally was true. But pub­ lication in London caused such a furor among the British that the British broadcasting company went on the air with an emphatic denial After that the shift of armies was held up for a while, until Mont­ gomery could be made a Field M ar­ shal to appease both him and Brit­ ish public opinion. Bradley then took over command of all the American armies under Eisenhower, and V-mail handling has become one of the best organised and most important branches of the service. Lower, Montgomery was left only with the two British and Canadian armies in V-mail combat film exchange. Upper left, temporary sending station In the field. Center, outgoing V-mail casing operation. Upper right, loading V-mail gear at Pearl Harbor. Wherever Uncle Sam’s boys are to be Holland and Belgium. Since then Monty has been wait- found, V-mail will reach them. Officials urge more extensive use of this service. lng for his chance to stage a come­ back. His friends of the British press—of whom he has many—have been doing the same. So immediate­ ly following the German break­ through, he began pressuring Eisen­ hower to give him the American First and Ninth armies. Montgomery is a superb defensive figher. When his back was to the wall at El Alamein just a few miles from Cairo, he did a great job. When given offensive jobs as in Sicily, at Caen, and at Arnhem he failed to make the grade. How much of Eisenhower's decision to put Montgomery in command of the two American armies depended upon his ability as a defensive fighter, and how much on British pressure is not known. It is known, however, the transfer of commands was opposed in the war department and was carefully hushed-up for two weeks and not even all of the top-ranking executives in the Pentagon building knew about it. Also it is a significant fact that Eisenhower is answerable to Chur­ chill as well as Roosevelt.

In one case, a giant oil tank had to be towed from Hoboken up the Hudson and through the New York state barge canal and the Great Lakes to Chicago. In the other case, the large pipes for Boulder Dam, owing to their 30-foot dia­ meter, had to be fabricated at the site in a plant erected for the purpose.

They wanted to meet the girl, but they didn’t know how to get around the private without pulling their rank, which they didn't want to do. Final­ ly the m ajor wrote a note and sent it to the private by a waiter. The note read: “ I believe I stud­ ied with you at Yale, and the colo­ nel believes he studied with you at Princeton. Please come over and straighten us out."The private wrote a return note: “I didn’t study with the colonel at Princeton nor did I study with you at Yale. But I did study at the National School of Taxi­ dermy and I'm taking care of this pigeon myself."
