S By Lylo C Wilton United Press Staff Correspondent ' Washington, June 8 (U.R) Premier Josef Stalin Is spotlight ed today by President Roosevelt as the forceful man who brought British and American leaders to agreement on undertaking the 'Invasion of western Europe. - Careful examination of D-day statements by Mr. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Church .111 reveals much of the back ground and some of the future of the great miliiary adventures 'begun yesterday on the coasts ' of France. Contrast Sean Churchill chose to look ahead. In contrast with Mr. Roosevelt's D-day news confernce parrying of forward looking questions on grounds that they were improp er for reasons of military secur ity, Churchill frankly advised the house of commons that more than one Innding In Europe was contemplated. "During the nipht and eavly hours of this mornlne.. he said, 'the first of a series of landings nf fnriM nnnn th Flironpan (nntlnont hue tnlrAn nlnre In this case the liberating assaults fell ( unon the coast of France. We hope to furnish the enemy with a succession of surprises." That language sufficiently In dicates the broad scale of blows to come. The president dealt with the past, passing over that part of It In which he met with Russian Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov In May of 1842 for conversations which evidently convinced the Russians they had a second (western) front promise for that year. Daisy Warranted Mr. Roosevelt now expects the events and developments of the western front operation to dem onstrate why the Invasion could not have been undertaken a year or more ago at the demand of those then clamoring for It. That clamor came in its most vigorous nd foreboding language from Moscow. It was echoed here in the Communist and left wing press. To make his point, the president ridiculed the statement of William Jennings Brysn. sec retary of state In the Wilson cabinet In which Mr. Roosevelt served as undersecretary of navy. Opposing the comparatively feeble armament efforts of the Wilson administration the first order for 30,000 metal helmets was let only after we actually entered that war Bryan held that 1,000,000 men would spring to arms overnight for the de fense of their country. What arms, the president asked his conference yesterday. He explained that It was lack of equipment that made It neces sary to delay the opening of the western front so long and that men might spring but arms had to be made. Within a month of Pearl Harbor, however, he said American military leaders and i later the combined British and American chiefs of staffs were i studying the possibilities of In vading Europe. I Molotov Too Early 1 It was six months later thnl Molotov came here on a secret mission. As he left the White House Issued a Joint communique which contained this language: "In the course of these con versations full understanding Was reached with regnrd to the Urgent task of creating a second front In Europe in 1942." When no European landings materialized, the Russians be came angry and Stalin protested bitterly and In public. It was not until the Tehran conference last December, Mr. Roosevelt said yesterday, that the time and approximate place of the Inva sion was mutually agreed upon.

Load DIAL 2 1 23 TIMBERP Mieteae Thursday, June 8, 1944 In Tehran the three men the president, the premier and the prime minister finally got to gether. They then agreed tnat the invasion should come in the latter part of May or the first days of June, It was no more definite than that until very recently, the president explained, when D-day was fixed June 5. Bad weather In the English Channel cause'd 24 hours of unforeseen delay. Only the actual date and the name of the commanding general remained to be decided when the three men parted at Tehran. Priiad Memo One of General Dwlght D Elsenhower's prized possessions is a soiled memorandum written by Mr. Roosevelt to Stalin from Cairo three days after the Teh ran meeting. The president and Churchill had agreed at Cairo upon the man to lead the attack. The memo to Stalin read as fol lows: Immediate appointment of General Eisenhower to command of operations has been decided upon." The word Immediate was written above the others as fur ther reassurance to Stalin that no delay was contemplated this time. The scribbled note was handed to a Cairo conference aide for transcription and was given by the aida to General George G. Marshall, chief of staff. Marshall gave it to Eisen hower, who might properly re gard It as the No. 1 military dip loma of his generation. Clamor Subsides Mr. Roosevelt smiling pointed out at his news conference that since Tehran, there had been no Russian clamor for a second front but that, on the contrary. there nad been every evidence of conlidence in Allied military Iplans. s unquestioned attitude of confidence was in striking con trast with the feelings of Russia as expressed by Stalin on Feb. 23, 1943, almost a year after Molotov's "second front" con versations at the White House. On that bleak February day Stalin Issued an order commem orating the founding of the Red army. Among other things, he said: "In view of the absence of a second front In Europe, the Red army ajone Is bearing the whole weight of the war." Morgan's famous Confederate raiders had their camp paper, too. It was published itermlt tcntly on whatever press the cavalry could capture.
