United Press Staff Correspondent
London, May 11-(UP)-A su-
preme commander for the European
theater may be appointed soon now
that the Tunisian campaign has
been won and the Allies are con-
centrating on opening up a second
front in Europe.
The arrival of Lieut.. Gen. Jacob l..
Devers, newly appointed commander
in chief, completed the American
command setup. The only thing re-
naming was the choice of a chief
coordinating officer and the estab-
nshment of a setup similar to that
functioning in North Africa.
Speculation has fuctuated be-
tween the possibility of British or
an American commander for the
overall post. A new suggestion Is
that the African and European the
aters be merged again, similar to
the original setup, and single top
coordinator named.
The theory behind the suggestion
is that the invasion of Europe is 60
ing to occur at a number of places
along the lines Of the steel finger
panzer technique first demonstrated
by the Nazis. In that event, each
individual operation would be In
charge of task force commander,
with common air and naval pools
called on for specific support Of the
operations.
Should the proposed consolidation
occur. the possibility again arises
that an American commander would
receive the topmost position. In
that event Gen. George C. Marshall
appeared to be the most likely can
didate.
Marshall's position then would be
supreme generalissimo of all the AL
lied forces except those in Russia
and the Far East.
1t long has been known that Mar
shall is anxious to get closer to the
scene of action.
While a British commander might
get the nod, the precedent set in
both North Africa and the Pacific
was believed to have increased Mar
shall's chances. The position Is
largely administrative.
Marshall has demonstrated his
ability to keep the United States
actively engaged on two fronts, and
is noted for his good relations not
only with subordinate commanders
but the Allies as we'll.
1t is assumed that if Marshall is
named supreme commander he
would move his headquarters to Lon
don in order to be close to the scene
of action.
There is a possibility that Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, commander
in chief of Allied forces in North AZ
RIGA, will return to Washington and

ARMY INDUCTEES
EXAMINED TODAY
Two Boards Send Quotas
to New Haven; Weeks
FurlOugh Granted

Two local Selective Service boards
sent their current months quotas to
the army induction center in New
Haven today. The contingent in
cluded young married men, some
fathers, and large number of
teen registrantS. Some will be &C
cepted for Navy or Marine service
and the majority for regular Army
duty. Those qualifying in the physi-
cal tests will be sworn into military
service and given weeks furlough
to conclude their business at home.
The train carrying the inductees
left the Union Station at 7 o'clock
this morning. A list of the men
accepted will be available tomorrow.
Boards 16-A and 15-A were repre-
sented today.
In view of recent favorable war
developments, especially the start
ling turn in the Tunisia campaign
as well to the the fact that the War
Department is reaching It's maxi
mum army quota 1t is believed that
future monthly quotas of indicted
men will be lowered considerably.
Factories are working hard to re-
lease non-essential men. To meet
any deficiencies it Is expected that
married men with dependents will
be called in large numbers in July
and August. Married men called to
the colors of late are those without
children or with children born since
September Is, 1912.
Today's visit is the first time that
Waterbury army inductees were sent
to New Haven. All former contin-
gents were sent to Hartford. The
change was necessary due to reno
vations being made to the Hart
ford center.
