Indications were that COMPRESSION
al military and naval committees

President Roosevelt has had Itill
opportunity TO do so. The president
Is nov empowered 10 make any re-
organization he thinks viii help de-
feat the AXIS.
Some Influential members Of BON

sjdeIing the ACCESSIBILITY OF urging

up OF q general, a general of1leef ol
the army all corps, . surface ad-
miral and an admiral OF lne naval
air arm,
A staff created IN This pattern
would give the air forces representa-
ton equal 10 the combined repre-
sentation III land and sea forces
The balance Would be swung by the
chief of staff who would both ez-
press the views of the president ane
advise the president nj the formula
ton Of broad general policies.
The staff would receive genera
direetiyes from the president OF Oh
leotiyes. 1t would be responsible fol
