Gen. Eisenhower Say!
Time Is Short for
Second War Front
Declares Troinine Of
u. S. Forces Abroad
Must Be Intensive i,
B, the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. IS. Gen.
Dwight Eisenhower, commander
of United States Army forces in
the European theater, dropped a
significant hint of the urgency
with which diversionary actions
on a new European front are be-
ing considered today, declaring
in a press conference that the
time Is short"
Discussing the United States forces
In Britain, he said:
Training in all it's phases must
be intensive. This is true first be-
cause time Is short, because the
problems we have demand the ulti-
mate in trained personnel and third
because our men must be toughened
and hardened physically to stand
the most rigorous operations.
Wants Best United States Army.
The American general declared it
was his conviction that I'VE must
form here the best Army the United
states mas ever put into the neld
If we are to perform our future
tasks successfully"
His words were accepted here as
reflection of the views in many
official quarters that a second front
in Europe is needed at the earliest
possible moment and that such
front can be created and successfully
advanced only at the cost not only
of great preparation but of great
casualties.
Gen. Eisenhower disclosed today
that he landed recently near an un-
exploded bomb on a runway of a
flying field during an inspection tour
of American air forces
Gen. Eisenhower said that when
he landed British and American
troops were searching for the bomb,
which had landed on the runway
but had not exploded.
They found it not many yards
from his plane, quickly moved it
away, and in few seconds a British
bomb disposal squad hurried up, for
the dangerous task of finally dis
posing of it.
