For Any Decisions OF
High Command

LONDON, May 23.-(P)-Lieus.
Gen. Jacob L. Devers said tonight
that American troops in the Euro
pean theater of operations were
well prepared to carry out deci-
sions of the high command, now
being formulated in Washington.
In an "Army Hour" broadcast
over NBC to the United States,
the commander said:
"Our troops are in condition to
take whatever part that may be
assigned to them. Their spirit,
physical condition and health are
excellent.
''For more than year, con.
struction of innumerable Amerj'
can installations - airports, hos.
pitfalls, depots and troop concen'
tration areas-has gone forward,
with many on 24-hour, seven-day
schedules. Our installations are
ample for whatever role this
theater may be called to play in
the invasion of the continent.
Turning to the air phase o1
American operations, Dew
said:
"The Importance and effective.
ness Of the work of the Eighth
Air Force cannot be exaggerated
in proportion to its size, the
Eighth stands on an equal footing
with the RAF-and there could be
no higher praise"
