Portrait of General Devers Chief In European Theater Keeps Close Contact
Lieutenant General Jacob L. Devers, commander of U S Forces in the European Theater, moves quickly and visibly in London walks to stay in touch with soldiers and officers alike. He greets people, asks questions, and uses sports imagery to drive points. He is tall, fit at 56, of Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry, and favors informal meals with officers over private hotel dining. The Tunisian victory does not alter his duties in the theater.
