“Faces Will Get Red," Says Roosevelt

;Rec. 11.30 a.m.) WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.

The objective of Allied forces iff Italy was to free Rome, the Vatican and the Pope much in the manner of a crusade, while avoiding all possible destruction, said President Roosevelt addressing a Press conference. Questioned whether he could comment on the report of General Marshall's apopintment to England, President Roosevelt replied “it is possible. It has not been determined and • a lot of people's faces will get. red.”.; President Roosevelt said that for .many months the Government had studied the position of aviation after the war. He and Mr. Churchill had agreed there should be freedom in the air. There were conversations on the same subject among American and Allied Governments. Headquarters In London? High quarters confirm that General Marshall i-.vill soon establish headquarters in England to direct an Allied invasion of the Continent from the west, says the London correspondent of the “New York Times.” However. it is emphasised that General Marshall is commanding only the forces who will actually attack Europe from the west and will not supersede General Eisenhower, who is continuing as Commander-in-Chief of .Allied forces until General Marshall's armies from the west meet the armies from the south, thereby establishing one continuous front against the Reich.
