An opinion expressed on many
sides here was that the Flying For
tress raid on Rouen Monday was in
preparation for the Dieppe landing
operation. 1t was believed the attack
on Rouen railway yards was under
taken TO make it difficult for the
Germans to rush reinforcements
from the Paris area which, if moved
by rall, would have to pass through
Rouen
Another French suggestion was
that The landing was made to test
the German assertion that the gate
way u Europe is closed by coastal
Notifications which have been
rushed to completion by Robert
Legs German labor front.
Few Reliable Reports.
News moves slowly from Occupied
to Unoccupied France, and a strip
along the coast is barred to visitors,
so Vlchy had few reliable reports
last night.
Havas, the official Vichy news
agency, fist released the news of the
landing to morning newspapers at
$50 pm. in the form of three dis
patches datelined Berlin, followed by
a German announcement of "a total
setback" and re-embarkment of "a
major part" of the landing parties.
Some papers already had COM
mentaries set up in their composing
rooms. 1t was understood that today
LIE Moniteur will take the position
that the landing accomplished moth
ing and Was proof that an Allied in
vasion Of Europe is impossible.

Roosevelt Reported
Visitinq New York

Representative Hartley, Republi-
can, of New Jersey, asked the House
today whether war censorship pro-
vided "a cloak of concealment for
the political activities Of the Presi-
dent"
Reporting that he understood Mr.
Roosevelt had been in New York
many times recently. the Representa-
tive raised the question whether the
Executive was there for political or
for war reasons.
Il understand" Mr.. Hartley said,
that Mr.. Roosevelt was in New York
last Monday. If this is true and
have every reason to believe it Is
true, want to ask on behalf of the
Nation whether Mr.. Roosevelt was
in New York directing the participa-
ton of the United States in the
World War, or whether he was there
directing a partisan political fight
for his candidate as against others
seeking the Democratic gubernatorial
| nomination in the State of New
York"
(The press censorship code states
that information about the move
ments of the President should not
be published or broadcast unless

Wendell Willkie, 1910 Repub-
lican presidential candidate, dis
closed at the White House to-

is appropriate only for him to say"
Mr.. Willkie said "of course" he
