DOdsed by


WASHINGTON. Oct l ms
Secretary of War Stimson refused
at his news conference yesterday
10 answer questions on whether
Gen. Marshall would be made
commander in = chief of Anglo
American forces. But he said:
II am In a position 10 say
with absolute confidence that
whatever duties Gen. Marshall
may he called upon 10 perform
will he decided by President
Roosevelt I'm a spirit OF entire
confidence in Gen. Marshall and
with the sole purpose OF placing
this extremely able officer I'm a
position where he can render
the best service toward success
full conclusion of this war.
ANY suggestion that Presi-
dent Roosevelt sought to
influence the appointment or
assignment of officers In the
army with any political, per-
sOnal or other motives. other
than with thought of winning
the war, II completely untrue.
ut II more than that It Ii
n piece of folly aimed ut dis
crediting the American conduct
OF the war during n most
critical period of Its course"
