Because the executive had reason to believe that his job record had been wrongfully judged by an antagon- istic boss he will be given an op- portunity to work for another lead ing man and show that he has the ability and trade knowledge to warrent a higher rating.
 It all began back in March when Martin a representative of three months standing went all out to obtain a general raise for corkers which went through . grievance meeting and over the objections of the department bosses went through with many corkers getting first class money. Right after this Martins troubles really began and all the good feeling that ever ex- isted between he and his bosses ceased to be.

 CHAPTER XxIX

One hundred days after Iron Ike reached England from Italy he was ready for the invasion of Europe from the west in the spring of l944,
 During these hundred days little was heard from Eisenhower eX- cept that he was following his usual pace, sleeping little, working from dawn to dark and longer, and applying his attention to every de- tail, Even the Nazis were impressed as witness the story published by the Munich newspaper, NeueSte Nachrlchten; "The American gem eral has an athletic appearance, full health and strength, Q well formed jaw and hear showing great will and Is Q man whom his countrymen would call Q he man. He Is Q man who has great abilities as on organ i2er and who has demonstrated great good sense in leadership and tactics in Africa"
 He was inspecting troops In Eng land while across the Channel Field Marshal Rommel was conducting a detailed inspection tour of his de- lenses,
 "I found the troops in good eon- ditlon," General Eisenhower said, "intensively engaged in efficient training for the big job that lies ahead, If their fighting is as good as their training, God help the Na2isw
 General EiSenhowerS tour was aS informal as 1t was thorough, He in- sisted that no parodes or formal inspections be arranged for him, Commanding officers were ordered to continue the regular training schedule when he arrived, He trave. led In 0 special train which carried stan cars for trips through the coun- trySlde, and was in continuous radio communication with the Supreme Allied Command In London, A radio- equipped jeep followed the general on all tours in order to allow him to remain in touch with his head quarters, He worked nights on desk work In Q fully equipped office on wheels,
 His first inspection at any camp was the kitchen, Next the general checked the health of the men and then their guns and equipment, Once in Q while his passion for in- formality was frustrated, A long column of troops was marching down a road along which his car was moving, As the car approached, with It's red plate bearing the four stars of 0 full general, cries of Eyes right!" echoed down the column,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-09-22

The general averted the threat of an impromptu review by junp- ing from his car, motioning two or three men out of formation, and asking, "How's your chow and your billets9"
 During these Second Front prepa- ratlons the general received the top Soviet award, the Order of Suvaroff, first class. To the Russians on the 9th anniversary of the Red Army, the general sent this message;
 'In stopping the NaA military machine the Red Army showed the world the most courageous exploit ever accomplished during Q defen- sive war. salute the officers and men of the Red Army,
 American troops poured into Brl- tain from across the seas. The NaEls worriedly fortified the invasion coatsts Invasion jitters grew strong CT and stronger. Despite his Ire. mendous burden, General Elsen- hover found time for inspections and close contacts,
 "only Q self disciplined Army can win bNttles," he told this soldier,
 Assurance of our success in bat tie and our chances to return home safely and speedily are directly af- fected by our success In establish. ing here Q reputation as Q flrst-claSs, disciplined fighting organization My deep appreciation to each of you for duty well performed in the past and with the best of luck in the future"
 General Eisenhower aS Supreme Commander of the Allied Western Front is invested with the greatest authority In history greater than that of old Roman generals, Com manding oil Allied land, sea, and air forces, the joint American Brit iSh governments have given him control never before placed in the hands of one man,
 The Allied Armistiee Plan pro- vidlng for the end of the war is said to place the entire economic life of Europe under Eisenhower's control for whatever period Is re- quired to restore peace and trade after the war ends. All nations eX- cept Germany and her satellitieS will be allowed to choose their own governments. France, Norway, Hol- land Belgium will be under EiSen- hower's control until their safety and security are assured and they are able to resume Self-governmefit without Allied protection,
 General Eisenhower will have d.

rect control over oil parts of Ger many occupied by Allied troops (ex- cept the Russlans). German terris tory occupied by the Red Army will be controlled by Q Soviet Military Government. General Eisenhower will set up e similar protectorate over Italy until it purged of its enemies,
