Invasion General Gets
Around Among His Men;
Given to Night 'SOrties"

In NORMANDY-By Wireless
One of the favorite generals among
the war correspondents is Maj. Gen.
Manton S. Ec.dy, commander of the
Ninth Division.
We like him because he is alb
solutely honest with us, because he
is sort of old-shoe and easy to talk
with, and because we think he is a
mighty good general We have
known him in Tunisia and Sicily,
and now here in France.
Is MID-WESTERNER
Like his big chief 1t. Gen. Omar
Bradley. General Eddy looks more
like a schoolteacher than a soldier.
He is a big tall man but he wears
glasses anC' his eyes have a sort of
Squint. He talks like a middle
westerner, which he is. He still
claims Chicago as home, although
he has been an army officer %
years. He was wounded in the last
war. He is not glib, but he talks
well and laughs easily.
In spite of being a professional
soldier he despises war, and like
any ordinary soul is appalled, by the

ment of France. De facto recogni-
ton means that a condition is ac-
cepted as existing, but it does not
carry the complete legal and diplo-
matte acceptance, which is called
de jure recognition.
President Roosevelt said the
United States was prepared to use
as basis for further relations with
the French National Committee the
recent drafts for restoration of
civil administration which have
been worked out by the French and
British. Those drafts, according to
De Gaulle, were worked out on a
technical" level and require fur
ther negotiation.
The President said those agree
ments were being redrafted Asked
whether the United States would
sign an agreement or a memoran-
dunn, he replied that it probably
would be a memorandum.

to win it and get home just rs

When the general is in the field
he lives in truck that used to be

it up nicely for him with a bed, a
desk, cabinets, and rugs. His order

geant who is a native of Ecuador.
HUNTS FOX HOLE
Some of his officers sleep in fox
holes, but the general sleeps in his
truck. One night, however, while
was with his division, it got too
hot even for him. Fragments from
shells bursting nearby started hit
ting the top of the truck, so he got
out.
The general has a small mess in
a tent separate from the rest of
the division staff. This is because
he has good many visiting gen.
erals, and since they talk business
while they eat they must have
some privacy.
Usually he stays at his desk dur
