He was met at a service airport by Mr. Roosevelt, Churchill's pea jacket and jaunty cowes regatta cap seemed to suggest that he had come most of the distance by sea. The date of his departure supported that theory. There was a flurry of gunfire off the Delaware-Maryland Coast some hours before Churchill's arrival The best current explanation was that the U. 8. Navy had given the sea-going Briton proper salute. Canadian Prime Minister W, L Mackenzie King announced in Ottawa that he would visit Washngton while Churchill is here. There are no plans to take the public far into the confidence of
There was this announcement of intentions: “There is, of course, one primary objective in the conversations to be held during the next few days between the President and the British Prime Minister and the respective staffs of the two countries. That purpose is the defeat of Hitlerism throughout the world.
Other Conferences Set
“It should be remembered that
many other nations are engaged in this cothmon task. ‘Therefore, the present conferences in Washington should be regarded as preliminary
to further conferences which will officially inclute Russia, China, the Netherlands and Dominions. “It iS ted that there will thus be evol an overall unity in the conduct of the war. Other nations will be asked to participate to the best of their ability in the overall objectives.

Prime Minister Winston Ohurche ill of Great Britain, the Atlantie battleground behind him, had come to Washington to discuss with President Roosevelt ways and means of uniting the strength of 130,000,000 Americans with that of 500,000,000 subjects of the British Empire and their Allies to defeat the German-Italian-Japanese axis. It was first meeting since st August when they clasped hands a warship in the Atlantic.

High on the agenda of the cone ferees is what measures, if any, can be undertaken to extricate vital Singapore from a position admit tedly precarious and to prevent Japanese landings in the Philip« pines, There was speculation in London

Most assuredly the conferees will discuss allocation of supplies and munitions. Pressing for determina tion are the equally urgent demands of the Philippines and of the British defenders of Singapore. Ultimately, a single military com« mander may make such decisions, although the obstacles to agreement among all the Allies upon a singie head are tremendous.

conversations with President Roose velt to “plan the defeat of Hitlerism throughout the world.” The stakes were high, of course the very safety of one of the war great leaders. In Washington, as in London, there had been rumors for days.
Mr. Churchill had seen Mr. Roosevelt and was already back in England. . . . Mr. Churchill had lunched at the White House yesterday . Mr, Churechiil had arrived off the Delaware Coast, end a 21-gun salute had been heard at Cape Henlopen.
Canadian Tips Arrival
The rumors began to be something more than rumors Saturday when a Canadian editor passed along a tip about a probable arrival of the Prime Minister at Annapolis, on Chesapeake Bay. Newspaper photographers rushed there, and some remained over the week-end. A newspaper “death watch” began at the White House. Early Monday, by official request, the photographers were called away from Annapolis. By laté yesterday afternoon the White House Press Room began to fill, but no one had anything very definite. The State Department referred queries to the White House, and the White House would cone firm nothing. A 8 o'clock (Indianapolis time), it was said, there might be an announcement.
Allied Board Hinted
Just before 5 there was a press release about a board for joint U. 8.« Canadian co-operation in war planning. Reporters grabbed for it, read the first few words, went back to their vigil. Six o'clock came and no release. None at 5:30. The crowd of news« papermen, passed through a heavy guard at the gate of the White House grounds, grew steadily. One of the girl secretaries in the office of Presidential Secretary Stephen T. Early darted into the room where the reporters waited, and they surged toward her. But she merely wanted a cigeret. She got it, and the crowd subsided. At last came the climax, just be fore 6 o'clock, with newspapermen and White House staff members crowding into Mr. Early's office, Steve Early had been sitting on big stories for years, but never was he more exacting than now,

“No one leaves the room,” he warned, “until I say go--and I can't say go until I get word over that phone.” Carefully he explained that Sir Gerald Campbell, head of the Brit ish press service in this country, was at that moment breaking the news in London by telephone, When the call came, he could release it here. Almost at once the telephone rang, and Steve Early gave out the news «that Prime Minister of Great Britain, he began, was now with the President in the White House. He had arrived by air and Mr. Roosevelt had gone to a nearby air field to meet him, With him were
