TIERS, Aug. 16.-Supreme head
quarters said today in an official
statement that there has been no
change in Gen. Sir Bernard L.
Montgomery's status as Gen. Eisen-
howers deputy commander in the
field.
Gen. Montgomery remains as field
commander of all ground forces
under Gen. Eisenhower, including
both the American 18th Army group
commanded by 1t Gen. Omar N.
Bradley and the British Canadian
2lst Army group.
A headquarters spokesman de-
clared that Gen. Eisenhower, the
supreme Allied commander, went to
France to be near the situation,
but is no more in direct personal
command than he has always been."
Allied troops invading France
from the south are under Gen. Sir
Henry Maitland Wilson, whose po-
sition there is the same as that
occupied by Gen. Eisenhower in
the west, it was said officially.
Gen. Wilson is the commander of
the Allied forces in the Mediter-
ranean theater. His troops in the
south of France presumably will
move into the jurisdiction of Gen.
Eisenhower as they drive northward
into Gen. Eisenhower's theater of
operations and link up with the
Allied armies in the west. but MOTH
ing official has been said on this
point at the moment.
Dispatches carried yesterday by
the Associated Press, Reuters and
the British Press Association said
Gen. EisenhoWer'S move to France
put him in personal command and
that the announcement that Gen.
Bradley was commanding the
American 18th Army group meant
that the two groups assumed equal
status. both reporting to Gen.
Eisenhower.
The Associated Press dispatch
was based on information from the
field. ct was passed by American

correspondents of Reuters and Press
Association said their stories had
been confirmed by an official In
a headquarters conference room.
Today's announcement said: ut
Is officially stated at supreme head
quarters that announcement of Gen.
Bradleys command of the 18th
Army group in no way affects the
position of Gen. Montgomery as
overall commander of all Allied
ground forces in France under Gen.
