LEAHY NAMED TO BE FDR'S. CHIEF Washington Speculates That He Might Be Top Man In Unified Wer Command. Washington, July 21. — In an ‘un precedented move, President Roose velt today selected Admiral William D. Lahy, sailor-diplomat, to be his right-hand man in prosecuting the global war on the land and sea and in the air. < Leahy was given the newly created title of chief of staff to the com’- mander-in-chief of the armed forces —that is, to the president. Immediately, there was a surge of speculation that Leahy’s counsel would have great effect on such questions as the possible open ing of a second European front. Some | suggested that Leahy might even be Elated eventually to become top man ; of a unified United Nations high j command. Mr. Roosevelt, making his an nouncement at a press conference, was beseiged with such questions. He j firmly declined, however, to amplify his announcement in this direction.
